Mike R: Procedurally I agree it is best not to have unilateral statements from elected representatives or a small subset of the constituency without properly vetting this issue within the constituency. I believe this is the same point that George was articulating in connection with the funding of Philip's travel request on behalf of the BC. I personally believe that there are a number of important issues in this working group that do impact businesses, and as a member of the working group I will be trying to articulate them in the public session scheduled for Seoul. Therefore I believe labeling this issue a "low priority" is dangerous as it might prejudice the advocacy of individual business constituency members on this issue. Therefore I would respectfully submit that a more accurate statement is that the BC constituency did not have time to submit a response within the allotted public comment period, but will continue to monitor the activities of the Working Group for its potential impact on business users. I am just concerned that your "low priority" statement as an elected BC representative may be used out of context by some working groups members. Hopefully you could agree with my friendly amended to your previous email statement? Michael P P.S.

Comments are now past due. I asked this same question a few weeks ago and have not had any response from the small BC team or the broader membership. Accordingly, I consider this issue a low priority for the BC. Since nobody is volunteering to draft comments, the BC will not be in position to provide any at this time. -Mike Mike Rodenbaugh Rodenbaugh Law 548 Market Street San Francisco, CA 94104 +1.415.738.8087 www.rodenbaugh.com -----Original Message----- From: owner-bc-gnso@icann.org [mailto:owner-bc-gnso@icann.org] On Behalf Of Mike O'Connor Sent: Monday, September 21, 2009 5:25 AM To: BC gnso Subject: [bc-gnso] PEDNAR (post expiration domain name recovery) PDP needs a constituency statement from us hi gang, i'm not paying a lot of attention to matters related to ICANN at the moment, but i'm on the PEDNAR working group and constituency statements are due soon. i'm forwarding the one from the Registrar Constituency for you information. i can't draft one for us to review -- i'm completely buried under another project for the next month. does somebody want to take the lead on getting this organized? mikey
