A handful of gamers does not equal a failing policy. Let's spend our time fruitfully addressing the gaming, rather than endlessly recirculating this argument.

Practically speaking, remember that the original policy recommendation required no mandatory RPMs. That caused such consternation that the IRT was convened to create RPMs and then the GAC strengthened them. I think is is naive to think that this group could conclude that we abandon Sunrise and that would be the end of the story. Such a recommendation would lead to a several-month (or longer) process that would, in the end, reinstate Sunrise. If I were convinced we had solid arguments, I might be tempted to take on that challenge. For the reasons stated above, I don’t think yours is a winning or winnable argument.
We should not be railroaded into supporting a failing policy for fear that our evidence-based determination will be overridden at a higher level for political reasons. EFF supports (and, indeed, formally proposed some months ago) that Sunrise be abolished. -- Jeremy Malcolm Senior Global Policy Analyst Electronic Frontier Foundation https://eff.org jmalcolm@eff.org Tel: 415.436.9333 ext 161 :: Defending Your Rights in the Digital World :: Public key: https://www.eff.org/files/2016/11/27/key_jmalcolm.txt PGP fingerprint: 75D2 4C0D 35EA EA2F 8CA8 8F79 4911 EC4A EDDF 1122 _______________________________________________ gnso-rpm-wg mailing list gnso-rpm-wg@icann.org https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/gnso-rpm-wg
