[council] Comment on the tasting discussion (probably belated)

Regarding Jeff's comments on the ICANN fee, without it the largest of the tasting activity, in .com, will continue. I appreciate the work that Neustar and Afilias have done regarding their funnel requests and have supported them, but so far there is no indication that Verisign intends to follow their lead. Regarding the motion, and even though I was on the design team, the feedback we've received from our constituency indicates that more time and work is needed. And finally, although a little off topic, we need to do some serious work on viable and consistent tools for remote participation in these meetings. Tim
