Maybe I am still trying to figure out the voting structure but since this is a 
GNSO PDP why wouldn't the same voting structure flow down to the DT? IS there a 
specific rule that states that ? 

Could we get a formal response from Staff.

Given that DT membership/participation has been uneven (unequal?), a one 
member/one vote system does not seem appropriate.  For the same reason, using 
the Council voting thresshold also seems inappropriate.  

I would prefer that it go to Council with both iterarations.

I am working on a more detailed message w/r/t IPC support of objective 5, but 
will be offline afterwards.

Well actually that's an interesting point, which Jeff has also made directly to 
me.

I was going about this using the simplest system I could think of, which was a 
one member/one vote system for DT members.

This would mean we currently have deadlock until Brian gives us the registry's 
preference (can we get that soon Brian please?).

But there is also a case for using the same thresholds as those used by the 
GNSO Council.

At this stage, I think the fairest way is either for the DT as a whole to 
determine which system it wants to apply or for us to go back to the Council 
and explain that the DT was unable to reach consensus on Obj 5 and that the 
Council should determine which version goes into the charter. I for one am not 
in favour of this second alternative, as I think it makes us look unable to 
reach a final determination. But I do not want to argue this forever.

There is another solution: the DT could decide that I, as coordinator, am 
allowed to speak my mind and vote on this as an independent member of the team 
:)
