Lets discuss this further in the Council meeting tomorrow.
In any case, I recommend that the task force continue its current work program. Any work on purpose should be done at the Council level.
It sounds like much discussion and progress has been made on Whois this week. This is a good thing. However, I would ask that we don't seek to actually take a decision on this matter tomorrow. Those that are physically participating in the meeting have had the benefit of a very immersive experience in which they have been able to take in a lot of data on a very near full-time basis. Those of us not attending the meeting have not had this same luxury. I would like to be able to participate in taking this decision from an informed basis, but have not yet had a chance to wade through the relevant recordings, transcripts and submissions. Discussion of this proposal is definitely warranted, but I don't think I could adequately represent the needs of my constituency, in terms of making a decision, based on what I know now. I would appreciate the opportunity to consider more of these inputs before I actually voted on anything this important during a meeting that will be held in just over 12 hours time. Thanks in advance for your consideration. -ross
