[gnso-vi-feb10] RE: Please participate - straw poll on objective 5

[Milton L Mueller <mueller@xxxxxxx>]

I am having a REAL hard time responding to this poll because I don't understand 
the objective and how it relates to the other objectives.  In addition, I have 
no idea if we vote for objective 5, even the amended one, how that relates to 
the timeframes in the charter.  Third, I do not see anywhere in the charter 
where there is time to consult the experts necessary to even figure out the 
answers to the amended version 5.

Then vote to delete Objective 5?


Isn't the only real objective now Objective 1:  "Objective 1: To make policy 
recommendations that provide clear direction to ICANN staff and new gTLD 
applicants on whether, and if so under what conditions, contracts for new gTLD 
registries can permit vertical integration or otherwise deviate from current 
forms of registry-registrar separation, and equivalent access and 
non-discriminatory access."



That sounds reasonable to me.
