I must agree with Phil. Even though I fully intend to participate fully, <br>
I cannot turn this into a guarantee, as my daily work responsibilities <br>
must take precedent and cannot always be predicted as accurately as I <br>
would hope.<br>
<br>
Also, what would be the penalties for violation a commitment that cannot <br>
be upheld at a later time?<br>
<br>
Volker<br>
&gt; Sorry to be an outlier, but I do not support the general concept of 
requesting members of any ICANN working group to take a formal commitment in 
regard to their uncompensated volunteer participation.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; That does not mean that I don't take this WG's work seriously or am 
unaware of the aggressive work schedule -- my participation in every call since 
the WG was convened speaks to that. I intend to participate in every future 
call unless unavoidable client work or other commitments prevent that.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I will also be responsive to inquiries when I think I have something 
meaningful to add. At this early stage I really can't estimate the division of 
my time between monitoring and active participation -- it depends on how things 
develop as we get into the details (although those who have worked with me in 
other ICANN contexts know that I am not shy about expressing myself).<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; So, again, as a consenting adult volunteer I trust that my participation 
will speak for itself -- I just don't support setting the precedent of 
requesting participants in ICANN WGs to undertake formal commitments regarding 
the degree of their participation.<br>
&gt;<br>
