RE: [gnso-ff-pdp-may08] Final Report: Last Call for Edits

Mike:

Good feedback, this is exactly what I was seeking.  With respect to the
clauses you mentioned:

1.  Ok, I see your point.  I am fine with deleting this entire whereas
clause.

2.  I don't think the FFDRS would qualify (yet) as new consensus policy,
as we simply recommend that it be explored / developed.  In this clause,
I am merely stating that we did not modify any of the eight existing
policies, nor did we create a new one.  My preference would be to leave
this clause in the motion.

3.  If you prefer,  we can strike the words:  "for best practices", and
end on "recommendations."

J.

 Thanks James. I disagree with three Whereas clauses. They add nothing
to
 the motion and can be misconstrued by uninformed readers: 
 
 -- Whereas the Working Group, through its efforts, uncovered numerous
 challenges relating to the definition of fast flux hosting, and
 distinguishing characteristics between legitimate and illicit uses
 
 This is true, but unnecessary for the motion, and unduly highlights
this
 difficulty rather than any of our successes.
 
 -- Whereas the Working Group was unable to reach consensus on
 recommendations for new consensus policy, or changes to existing GNSO
 policies;
 
 In fact, we did reach consensus on the notion that a Fast Flux Data
 Reporting System should be explored, and it very well might be
implemented
 via Consensus Policy.
 
 -- The next clause says the "Group has developed and broadly supports
 recommendations for best practices." That is not true, as we haven't
 recommended any specific best practices.
 
 Thanks,
 Mike
