issues PDP

[Bart Boswinkel <R3H@xxxxxxx>]

Hi, Bart.

Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this. I find it really 
positive
that the ccNSO Council has started a process considering amendments in 
the
bylaws. Hopefully we will reach a solution so that the majority of the 
ccTLDs
can join the ccNSO.

As for input, we support the CENTR paper, as our main concerns are 
covered
there. I would especially like to highlight the issues of:
- the limitation of the scope
- the principle of subsidiarity
- the principle that a binding policy should both be within the scope 
and have
   the necessary quorum to pass the ccPDP
but _all_ the concerns covered in the CENTR paper are important to us.

I note that you're only asking for our concerns, and are not asking for
specific suggestions for text changes of the bylaws. This is probably 
wise
this early in the process, but if you at a later stage want input to 
specific
changes, we would be glad to help. (The devil is in the details :-)

With kind regards
Hilde Thunem
UNINETT Norid
