Re: [gnso-dow123] Final Task Force Report on Whois Services

[Avri Doria <avri@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Actually this was a decision by the chair, I do not remember the TF  
actually voting on it. But I may have missed that.

My issue is that when the special Circumstance proposal was first  
submitted I asked the chair whether it was necessary to submit an  
opposing proposition, but was assured that the Special circumstances  
proposal would not get special status and therefore submitting a  
counter proposal was not necessary.  Once I realized that the Special  
Circumstance proposal was being given special status and submitted  
the counter proposal it was later in the process it was given it less  
then special status.

As for changing/repudiating my support for OPOC as Jordyn suggests;   
since I don't believe it right for the RyC constituency to do so, I  
won't do so at this point.  I will possibly withhold approval from  
the report however due to what I consider to be an inequity in the  
process.


thanks
a.
