Subject: Re: [council] Re: Draft message to the
Board
Thanks Tim and Wolf for your comments.
The message
as redrafted by Tim is clearly one that would be sent by me as Chair having
identified what I think is information that the Board should have. The
message contains no opinions, only statements of facts. It does not commit
the Council in any direction, does not interfere with the work that the JAS
has been tasked with doing, does not defend one position against
another.
I would be happy to send such a reworded message, as I
honestly believe there considering the way this report is being presented to
the Board, it's best to ensure the information the Board has is as complete
and unambiguous as possible.
However, I also do realise that this is
an important topic for the NCSG. I am elected by all of you and do not wish
for my personal actions to be considered by one group to be not taking
sufficient account of their worries or issues.
Bill, you said in your
last message that the NCSG did not oppose this, but would like to understand
the value of doing this. I believe that this has already been answered. But
perhaps the rationale I would have in sending the redrafted message Tim
suggest as stated in the first part this email helps clarify
further.
Please let me know what you, and other NCSG Councillors,
think. You make the point that sending this message is useless because
Olivier has already indicated in his message that the report hasn't been
approved by the GNSO. I would ask you, even if that's the case and people
felt confident that this message was stated clearly enough (which doesn't
seem to be the case), what would be the harm in re-enphasising the same
message? As long as the message itself doesn't change, and I am not saying
anything different in my note, what would be the
harm?
Thanks,
Stéphane
