[gnso-contactinfo-pdp-wg] Straw poll on number of options

["Dillon, Chris" <c.dillon@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear colleagues,

During Thursday's call, we had a straw poll:
Are you in favor of having only one option in the initial report?
As you know, in the versions of the draft initial report until now there have 
been two options (recommendations for and against mandatory transformation), 
but if it is possible to have only one, the report will likely have a stronger 
effect. Whatever the result of the report, the arguments for and against will 
remain in it; this poll only concerns the options.
Please send your vote to the list if you did not vote on Thursday. The options 
are: Yes, No and Abstain.
Please vote by 14:00 UTC on Thursday 27 November. (Note that there is no 
meeting on that day; the next one is 4 December.)

In summary
- This is not a consensus call on the options.
- This is to decide whether the initial report should have one set of 
recommendations or two sets of recommendations.
- If a majority believes it should be only one set, the WG, at a later stage 
(probably during our next meeting, on 4 December) will decide which set it will 
be.
- Please bear in mind that this is the initial report and following public 
comments on it we will be able to modify/amend/change/reverse our draft 
recommendations.

Incidentally, I shall email soon asking for your comments on version 5 of the 
report and including the rest of mine.

Regards,

Chris.
