Do ALAC (and/or participating ALSs) endorse this NCUC motion? I do, and it would be great to convey that support via Alan to the Council when it votes on the Terms of Reference tomorrow. (All we can do, since we don't have votes, is to endorse others' positions or to get voting members to endorse ours...) --Wendy Danny Younger wrote:
To those following the WHOIS Policy debate, the NCUC has amended its recent motion:
NCUC amends this motion to include one additional point of clarification that is necessary to keep this working group focused.
The objective proposed in the draft charter is badly worded because it would allow for each and every recommendation of the previous whois task force to be revisited ("examine the issues raised with respect to the policy recommendation of the task force and make recommendations concerning how those policies may be improved...).
This new working group is not meant to "undo" the three years of work on the whois task force. Therefore it is important that we keep this new working group on track by more clearly stating the objective.
NCUC proposes to amend the basic objective [new words in CAPS] as follows:
"The objective of the working group is to examine the IMPLEMENTATION issues raised BY the recommended OPOC PROPOSAL of the task force, and make recommendations concerning how THE OPOC PROPOSAL may be IMPLEMENTED IN A WAY TO ADDRESS THOSE ISSUES."
