As one who was unable to join the call Tuesday I am somewhat mystified
by this posting. Who made the assertion about waiver of privacy rights?
If the question is sent back to us, would our terms of reference be
changed? Where would this issue fit into our other priorities?  And what
would it say about the TF if we asked to have back the only resolution
that has successsfully completed our part of the PDP?  Is it impossible
to bring anything to a conclusion in this TF?

(On a housekeeping note, maybe there is a problem with our list since I
did not receive Jordyn's original message nor any call-in notice for
Tuesday's call. Was one sent?)

Jordyn - thanks for prepping this.

I believe we should stick to option a) solely. I'm not aware of any
undertakings of this task force that would render a blanket waiver
"moot". We should essentially be requesting that the Council provide
this task force, or another GNSO body, with the opportunity to clarify
our current work prior to its consideration as consensus policy. As it
currently stands, the work has the potential to set a dangerous
precedent that we should avoid implementing - even the status quo is
preferable at this stage.

I'm sure with some new discussions that we can easily meet the
objectives of the user community regarding clear notice without
requiring them to give up additional rights.
