Re: [gnso-vi-feb10] poll - Too early to ask these questions

[Jean Christophe VIGNES <jcvignes@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I want to second Statton’s comment here. Having duly listened in on all the 
calls and read (most) of the emails so far, I am nowhere near a “black and 
white” view to be put on a poll. Additionaly, the “signal/noise” ratio of the 
list has made things even harder at times.

Maybe we could devote most of Monday’s call to allow for some discussions on 
the proposals themselves? Less process more substance!

Warm regards,
Jean-Christophe

Mikey,

I will finally chime in here and support Jeff’s comment that it is a little 
early to ask for our views on each of the proposals. I do like the idea of the 
poll but I, personally, need a little more time to analyze the details.  Some 
of the proposals were just introduced this week, after all.

I have been mostly a “lurker” with respect to the e-mail exchanges on the list 
but I have not been doing so with my hands “folded.”  I regularly take notes on 
the points being raised by active members of the group and try to map out where 
consensus might be found given the various viewpoints.  Some of the discussions 
have struck me as being too theoretical but also practical suggestions and 
proposals have been introduced and I am trying to focus on them and really try 
to get a feel on how this should play out.  Waiting another week for the poll 
would be helpful to me.

Thanks,
Statton

Mikey,

Although I appreciate the notion of taking polls, I just have the feeling that 
it is WAY too early to ask the questions that you have on Poll #1.  Very few of 
us understand the implications of each of the proposals enough to be able to 
comment on whether we support or oppose a particular proposal much less whether 
we can fill in the comment sections on any revisions that we would propose to 
that particular proposal.  I thought we were going to form sub-teams to look at 
the proposals to discuss the pros and cons of each of the proposals in order to 
potentially come up with some sort of hybrid or consensus driven proposal (if 
possible).

In addition, there is nothing in the survey that asks the responder to declare 
its interests (namely, (a) to check all that apply….gTLD Registry, gTLD 
Registrar, New TLD Applicant, New TLD back-end Registry Services Provider, 
etc., and (b) are you in favor of integration or separation….).  I just think 
that coming out of this survey saying x number of people support this proposal 
without the essential context is going to be misleading especially with this 
group being so stacked with New TLD applicants, registries, registry services 
providers and registrars).

I would strongly ask that we withdraw this survey for this week in favor of 
proceeding as initially proposed.
