Bill,
that board decision for my impression was too weak, vague -
and simple. I would have expected more guidance given by the board. So it's up
to the community to open this barrel.
I agree it's up to the community to flesh out the issues and options.
But as long as it affects negatively the
implementation schedule for new gTLDs I wouldn't do so.
Ok, but I would not assume ex ante that slowing things down is the necessary outcome of a bit of dialogue on overlooked community concerns, or let that spectre preclude processes that could broaden international support for ICANN's work.
Best,
Bill
