[gnso-vi-feb10] RE: Recommendation: Eliminate Section 4 of the Initial Report

[Milton L Mueller <mueller@xxxxxxx>]

I normally agree with Jeff N. on procedural issues but in this case I don't .
We did have an extensive, 60+ minute discussion with Salop and Wright and we 
did debate their ideas on the list and this section should be included.

Subject: [gnso-vi-feb10] Recommendation: Eliminate Section 4 of the Initial 
Report

All,

In reading the Initial Report, I couldn't help but feel that the inclusion of 
Section 4 is inappropriate.  Not only is it inaccurate to state that we 
evaluated the Salop report, we in actuality never really discussed it.  We had 
1 call with the economists and there was such large disagreement with many of 
the statements made by the economists.  In addition, there were several points 
the economists made that were not in the initial report at all; Namely that 
requiring the use of registrars at all is economically inefficient.

My point is not to debate the above, but to recommend we delete the section.  
It improperly gives too much attention to a report we did not really consider.  
It may be staff's position, but it is not the view of the WG and therefore 
needs to go.

Thanks.
