RE: [gnso-iocrc-dt] Current Results on Consensus Call

[<Mary.Wong@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jeff and everyone, 

Apologies for the late response; having reviewed the DT emails and call
transcripts, I still find it difficult to vote for the three
recommendations as a "package deal". If the option was available, I
would vote Yes to Rec 1 provided that there IS a review (i.e. an
amendment to Rec 3) after a certain period of time and prior to the
second round. To the extent that either the three recommendations cannot
be unpacked or that Rec 3 remains a "may" review and not a "shall"
review, I will abstain from voting at all. I understand that an
abstention might be considered a No vote in effect, but as we are
participating in this DT in our personal capacities, I believe an
abstention would better explain my reasons. These are that while I agree
that (1) the current AGB protections for the IOC & RC names should have
been developed through/with the GNSO rather than unilaterally imposed,
and (2) a process/provision to cover the possibility of string
similarity review may be appropriate, nonetheless I also think that
combining all three Recommendations into a single package goes beyond
what is necessary for this first round. In this regard, I believe that
Rec 2 is problematic as information that is needed is currently
unavailable (although I thank the IOC and RC for undertaking the effort
to produce the lists by the Costa Rica meeting). As such, I do not feel
comfortable voting on Rec 2 at the moment. 

Please note that these comments and opinions are mine as a DT member
and not as a NCSG Councilor. 

Thanks and cheers 
Mary

Jeff, Since I am not on this group formally representing ALAC, it
should say "At-Large" instead of ALAC. But please note that my Yes was a
personal position and should not be represented as a position of
At-Large or ALAC. I will report back prior to the Wednesday GNSO meeting
whether my position is formally supported by ALAC or not.

All,
 
In order to predict the level of support/consensus for the
recommendations, as there are multiple people from the same
constituencies/organizations, for fairness purposes, I am grouping those
individuals together.  Thus, so far, I have noted the following:
 
RySG – Yes (Gomes)
IPC – Yes (Evans, Shatan)
ISP – Yes (Novoa)
BC – Yes (DelBianco)
NCUC – No (liddicoat/Komaitis)
NCA Appointes – Yes (Ajayi, Rickert)
ALAC – Yes (Greenberg)
Red Cross – Yes (Hughes, Hankins, Lanord)
IOC – Yes (Bikoff, Malancharuvil, Heasley)
 
Given these results, and the fact that we have heard from all of the
major constituencies, and other groups that regularly participated, I
believe we have consensus (but not full consensus) support for the
recommendations. According to the guidelines, Consensus does not require
unanimity. See http://gnso.icann.org/council/docs.html (annex 1).
 
I will report this to the Council along with the statements from the
NCUC members.
 
Thanks to everyone for participating and see many of you in a couple of
days.
