RE: [gnso-pro-wg] Current Draft of Report

[Tim Ruiz <tim@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

<div>
Kristina, thanks for the explanation. Regarding the minority reports in
WGs, I don't know. We did that in the RN-WG but it may have been just a Chair 
decision to allow it. Maybe Liz can advise. If not, I'll save it for the 
Committee/Task Force.<BR></div>

What is the definition of a minority report?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>
The Names Council Rules of Procedure specifies that any Consensus Policy
Recommendations of a Task Force must include "a fair statement of points in 
opposition and a substantive analysis of their merits and the intensity of the 
opposition." Avri can confirm this perhaps.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>&gt; Can anyone file one if they do 
not agree with the majority?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>That is my understanding.</DIV>

This is the current draft? I thought Liz was working on an update. So
there will be no indication of who supports what? I'm not trying to be an a$$ 
about that, I just think it's unusual not to and I believe&nbsp;it will be 
an&nbsp;important question raised by the Council. Also, will minority reports 
be included? I submitted one on Saturday.</DIV>
