I agree with Tomslin and Lawrence. As the original ICANN proposal became more complicated through the small group work, discussion of it has intensified at he stakeholder group level. The stakeholder groups will need time to digest the proposal to decide whether to support it.

I am also of the view that we should have a discussion at our next meeting around the outcome(s) generated to inform the direction of a vote.

Thanks for sharing, Paul.

I like the optimism, however, in my opinion, I think there is benefit for the wider council to discuss the final proposal from the small team+ before voting on it. Considering how heated this particular topic has been in the small team+, it'll be good for the council to also know whether the recommendations enjoy the full consensus of the small team or otherwise and if not, what level of consensus was achieved as required by the updated Small team Assignment form.

Warmly,
Tomslin

All,

 

Here is a placeholder motion for the work of the Small Team + on this issue:  Motion - SubPro Supp Rec Singular/Plural - Google Docs  We have a team deadline of this Friday at end of business to get a final version complete (or not, if we can’t get there).  I will get that turned around to Council ASAP so that we all have as much time as possible to consider it before next Thursday.  Hopefully, that all goes timely and well and we can put this in the rearview mirror on Thursday.  If not, we may need to have this be a discussion on Thursday and a prompt email vote thereafter. We’ll see.  I’m submitting it this was in order to maximize optionality. 

 

By copy of this email, I am asking Staff to amend this item from a Discussion to a Vote, because I am a diehard optimist.  Thanks all!  Stay tuned.

 

Best,

Paul
