I personally believe that a continued discussion of the continuance of Sunrise Registrations is fruitless. As I recall our call on August 2nd, I believe we had solid consensus that the solution is to fix the loopholes in the current system, not eliminate the current system altogether. I realize that Jeremy and George have a viewpoint, but that viewpoint is not reflective of our discussions. I suggest we move on to more productive topics.
Personal beliefs aside, is that an "official" request as a co-chair? I don't believe Jeremy has indicated that he has withdrawn his proposal, nor has there been any formal "consensus vote" on this topic, as per my understanding of PDP requirements. Indeed, making such a determination would be premature, given data collection and analysis is incomplete. Thus, as an active and open PDP question/proposal to be answered by the working group, it seems to me that it's as valid a topic for discussion as any other undecided and open topic. If some folks can't be swayed by any amount of evidence, or "know" the outcome in advance, I'd love to see them attempt to justify it in the PDP final report, as it would only invite a "minority report." "It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so." -- Mark Twain It seems ICANN policy is often based on the 2nd sentence of that quote, ignoring attempts at evidence-based policymaking.
