The officers are discussing this and will revert to members as soon as time zone delays allow. There are certain knock-on effects of not voting before Seoul to consider.
And really, whose fault is that? The members who submit comments immediately upon receipt of the draft charters? Or the officers have been delaying charter reform for months. If it means that the officers don't get a free trip to wine and dine in Seoul, I can live with that. If it means we temporarily lose our voting rights in the GNSO, I can also live with that, given that the IP and ISP constituencies routinely vote the exact same way we do. Two BC members have explicitly asked about/demanded that we merge into the larger constituency (i.e. joining the IP and ISP constituencies into one superconstituency), and I'd echo their points: http://forum.icann.org/lists/bc-gnso/msg00523.html http://forum.icann.org/lists/bc-gnso/msg00519.html Another member has asked for the "minimally marked up" version of the charter that ICANN staff provided long ago: http://forum.icann.org/lists/bc-gnso/msg00520.html When you "revert to members", don't ignore these questions like you typically do.
