RE: [gnso-igo-ingo] Proposed Agenda - IGO-INGO Meeting 30 Oct 2013

["Claudia MACMASTER TAMARIT" <MACMASTER@xxxxxxx>]

Dear colleagues,

We would just like to state for the record we strongly oppose the use of 
"Divergence" regarding our WG position as to whether acronyms should be blocked 
for any international organization.

The definition simply does not suit when there is consensus against the 
position of blocking acronyms.  (A consensus which appears to be shared in the 
public comments.)


  *   Divergence (also referred to as No Consensus) - a position where there 
isn't strong support for any particular position, but many (two or more) 
different points of view. Sometimes this is due to irreconcilable differences 
of opinion and sometimes it is due to the fact that no one has a particularly 
strong or convincing viewpoint, but the members of the group agree that it is 
worth listing the issue in the report nonetheless.**

We are deeply concerned that this mischaracterization will be misleading to the 
those reading the Report, including the GNSO Council and ICANN.

If we cannot change the wording of the recommendation, then we do not see the 
scope for including a recommendation which received only minority support.

We should not parse our words when making such important recommendations.

Sincerely,
Claudia (ISO)

WG Members,

Please find below the proposed agenda for Wednesday's meeting.  Attached is the 
latest version of the draft Final Report.  In this version you will see several 
comments where I noted for review and action for the WG to consider.  It also 
includes an update to current recommendations noting where "no support" was 
submitted as per our last consensus call.  A new Annex was also added that 
contains a first draft template for requesting an Issue Report for a possible 
PDP where one of the WG's recommendations for UDRP/URS be considered.

Proposed Agenda - IGO-INGO WG Meeting - 30 OCTOBER 2013 @ 16:00 UTC (120 Min):
1.       Review Agenda & Changes to SOI's
2.       Chair's update
3.       Review Public Comments RT
4.       Review draft Final Report
5.       Confirm next meeting, 06 November 2013 @ 16:00 UTC
