Draft Agenda for Council meeting - Thursday 7 June 2007
Further to discussion on how we handle the gTLD report. 1. I would still like to hear a counter-argument to the principles I outlined earlier regarding the objective of Council working as a committee of the whole. 2. For the record the BC does not support any recommendations characterised informally by Chuck as "Broad agreement" without the safety net of those recommendations characterised informally as "Work Ongoing". We have all worked diligently on this and see the report as an integrated whole. If it is to be separated, we will likely be forced to vote against systematically. If it is to be separated we will likely be forced to vote against a committee of the whole approach for any future PDP based on its meaningless approach. To date we hear from just one constituency calling for this separate approach. Lets hear from others before we decide as Council how we will vote on our own work. Philip BC rapporteur
Philip, I do not understand your point, especially item 2. I submitted my suggestions for a way forward thinking that they were largely consistent with the principles you communicated. I also oppose an item by item approach to this and think it would be a terrible wast of time, but I do believe that there are a few items that are not finished yet and that ultimately the Council will have to vote on the total package to determine whether or not there is a 2/3 majority as the PDP requirements state.
