RE: [bc-gnso] Inquiry: why are we voting in a 7 day voting period? instead of the normal 14 day? Can we please extend it to 14?

["Ron Andruff" <randruff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I support Marilyn's request, as there appear to be some fundamental issues
still unresolved.  If we have to do this revision (and we must), then we
have to do it correctly.

 

Kind regards,

 Like several other BC members -- Heather, Ayesha, Liesyl/Anders, myself,
David Fares, Zahid -- we are all traveling to Sharm El Sheikh for the IGF,
and I for one cannot focus on the Charter to see if the changes were
incorporated. 

 

A red line would be helpful but at this late date, as I am dashing for an
airplane for an almost 24 hour flight due to layovers, I simply cannot do
justice to the review of the Charter.

 

I thought we had agreed to have one more redlined version/quick look before
posting to a vote.  I can't tell whether the changes that I had proposed are
incorporated easily, as I could with a redlined version. Can that be posted
as well? 

 

However, of equal concern is that this is an accelerated voting period of
only 7 days. That makes little sense, especially with so many of the BC
members occupied in a critical international meeting. 

 

Would other BC members join me in asking for the normal 14 day voting
period? I am not sure when that would close, but it would increase the odds
of my having the time to read the charter and decide whether to vote no or
yes -- not just have to forgo my membership rights to vote. 

 

I am seeing questions from other members still.

 

While I know we need to nail this down and get a vote, and move to
elections, it would be unfortunate to have potentially six or so of our
members away during the shortened voting period and unable to participate in
the decision,

On Marilyn's comment re the Charter. the present wording about prime
interest should cover it.

If it leads to any problems in the future lets address it with a real case
in front of us not a speculative one.

Any individual piece of the charter can be amended if it proves unfit for
purpose.

 

In the meantime dear BC members please VOTE !
