IDN PDP vote - we still do not have enough votes
by Chris Disspain June 11, 2013

June 11, 2013

All, I do appreciate that you are all busy but please allow me to implore you to vote in the IDN PDP vote which closes today. There are a few reasons why it is important to vote and why I am bugging you: a) a lot of people have put a lot of hard work and effort over a number of years into getting this PDP finalised, b) the IDN Fast track is held up as a model of how work in ICANN can happen quickly whilst allowing the naturally lengthy and cumbersome PDP to run its course. Failing to pass the policy set out in the full PDP may have the effect of undermining the legitimacy of using a 'fast track' process for some future issue and, c) the PDP is the way we make global policy. It is accepted that in the case of ccs there is a very narrow band of items upon which such policy can or should be made but there has never been any doubt that IDNs fits fairly and squarely within that narrow band. If we cannot legitimise this policy by a vote of the ccNSO we undermine the multi-stakeholder model and the policy development processes that each of us strives to support. Please vote!

Finance Working Group Update forwarded on behalf of Byron Holland. From: Byron Holland <byron.holland(a)cira.ca> Date: Tuesday, June 11, 2013 4:08 AM To: Gabriella Schittek <gabriella.schittek(a)icann.org> Subject: finwg update The finwg had a telecon on June 5th where we discussed the updated and revised material and model from Beijing. The conversation was rich and fulsome with a number of good refinements being raised. There is a follow up telecom scheduled for June 25th, which will include Xavier. Agenda will include refinements from June 5th input. A face-2-face meeting will be held in Durban where we hope to get general agreement on the overall principles, quantum, and timelines. We plan to share the work with the community at Durban, allowing for feedback and socializing with other communities until the next meeting in Buenos Aires, where we intend to seek the support of the council.

Indeed it does! And I am certainly not arguing for the removal of the quorum rule. The contrary, in fact. Generally speaking I would expect a vote which does not reach quorum to fail -- this rule would mean that change can only happen with the positive involvement of a certain, preset, percentage of the electorate. (Of course, a quorum should be set at such a level as not to stultify decision making!)
