In as much as the motion and its intended action (to take another look at the protections given ICO and INGOs in the new gTLD program) is as much politics as policy, I don't think delaying the discussion and vote enhances likelihood of passage. There are voices in the BC who question why we are willing to re-open a decision that was unanimously closed.
For clarity sake: By "decision that was unanimously closed." do you mean the PDP recommendations? Also, have any new arguments have been offered, or is it just because the GAC disagrees with our recommendations. Something which should not come as a surprise since they don't even agree with our standing to make recommendations on this topic. Fro a process perspective, I think in this case we reopen if we enough of the council agrees that we would like to see our recommendations amended as suggested by the Board. thanks avri
