Thanks Paul.

the more members who understand how things work, the more involvement there may be when it comes time for input and/or voting.

Completely agree. Tim -------- Original Message -------- Subject: RE: [registrars] Discussion of Motion to adopt Tasting Position Statement [Tim Ruiz's motion].

I also really appreciate the time you and others are willing to take out of your schedule to explain things when asked. I'm sure it may seem frustrating at times, but the more members who understand how things work, the more involvement there may be when it comes time for input and/or voting. Your motion seems to cover all views, so I have no other ammendments to suggest. Regards, ~Paul At 04:32 PM 11/14/2007, Tim Ruiz wrote:

An explanation probably isn't necessary since it is intended to be a constituency statement about an already intitated PDP.

My thinking behind the motion was based on previous discussions at RC meetings, the two ICANN workshops, the discussions and work of the ad hoc WG, and other conversations that took place on and off the record.

So basically, I volunteered myself as the representative to compile the statement by posting the motion, thinking it would speed up our normally drawn out processes (based on our rules of procedure) and allow us to get a statement in within the 35-day window.

Again, I am open to amendments. Just suggest some wording and get an endorsement.

Best,

Tim
