[gnso-vi-feb10] Scopes, necessities, and timelines

[Eric Brunner-Williams <ebw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We can address

        - the VI question for one, or both, of the DAGv3 types of "standard"
and "community-based",

        - the VI question for one, or more of the existing contract types of
"open, price capped", "open, uncapped" and "sponsored", aside, this
has the nuance of distinguishing between "sponsored, like aero, coop,
museum and cat" and "sponsored, like asia, travel, and mobi".

        - the VI question for one, or more, as yet undefined types, in
particular, the CRAI postulated "single registrant" type.

We can use
        - a competition policy framework, in which market share has some 
meaning,

        - a "pure consumer perspective", in which market share is according
to one contributor, meaningless,

        - some other, as yet undefined framework or perspective.

The Board's Nairobi Resolution requires an answer to only the DAGv3 types.

The Board's Nairobi Resolution is expressed in terms of market share.

If anyone has a more restricted minimal scope, minimal framework, it
would be useful to so state.

Some possible poll questions, as Mikey floated the idea of polls so
that proposal authors could have more concise, and timely feedback
than mailing list volumn, are:

        - which contributors seek to address which scopes?

        - which contributors prefer which policy approach?

        - which contributors think the primary problem(s) are not yet well
stated?

        - which contributors think which questions need to be answered when?

                - the VI for DAGv3 types question
                        - by June?
                        - by November?
                        - later?

                - the VI for pre-DAG types, if at all, question
                        - same choices as above

                - the VI for post-DAGv3 types, if any, question
                        - same choices as above
