Re: [gnso-vi-feb10] Objective 5

[Stéphane Van Gelder <stephane.vangelder@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Brian,

I know you worked hard to get feedback from your group to us, so thanks for 
those efforts.

As it stands, we have support for version 1 of Obj 5 (the so-called Milton-Avri 
version) from a numerical majority of the groups represented on this DT: the 
NCSG, the RrSG and the RySG. The IPC and the BC have indicated they support the 
other version.

I am unwilling, at this stage, to open up a whole new discussion on voting 
thresholds and the way to best represent this split. Also, I am keen not to go 
over the deadline this group has to go back to Council with a charter proposal 
(today).

As such, I have asked Margie to draw up a final version of the charter using 
version 1 of objective 5 but with a footnote listing version 2 and explaining 
that the group did not reach consensus on this objective, but that there was a 
numerical majority for it with support from the NCSG, RrSG and RySG while the 
BC and the IPC supported the other version.

Although this does mean the DT is going back to the Council with a charter that 
is not completely final, I do not see any other way of moving ahead within our 
set deadlines, whilst still making sure the various views of DT members are 
represented. I will apologize to the Council on behalf of the DT about not 
delivering a completely finalised charter and explain what I have just 
explained here.

As there will be Council discussion on this, I would encourage you to brief 
your councillors so that they may highlight the reasons why your groups went 
for whatever version of Obj 5 they choose when the Council comes to open up 
discussion on this item.

I want to thank you all for the work we have been able to do together. I hope 
you have found my participation to be helpful to the group and as neutral as 
the coordinator position requires.

Stéphane
