The GAC have submitted a proposal on process. In effect it asks the Board to delay a decision until after debate in Nairobi. I would like to suggest that the BC supports this. Please let me have your opinion today as public comments close today ! --------------------------- The full text of the GAC advice is on the comments list but the specific process advice is as follows: "the GAC therefore advises the Board to: - avoid taking a decision on the EoI at its February meeting and defer it until the next ICANN Public meeting. A premature decision could trigger requests for reconsideration and further derail the discussion; - request that staff facilitate a full cross-community deliberation on the EoI at the next ICANN Public meeting, prior to any final decisions; and - ensure that the second summary of comments clearly documents the respective interests of respondents."
