Re: [gnso-vi-feb10] Revised SRSU draft text

[Antony Van Couvering <avc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

SGs have powerful rights within the ICANN community, which *potential* 
registries or RSPs do not have.  Such rights include a say in appointing Board 
members and a right to appoint members of the GNSO council.   

If the EOI program had been approved, who was applying for what would now be 
clear. As it is, I don't think you can compel anyone to state if they are 
applying for a new gTLD or if they plan to be an RSP either.  Nor could you 
have any basis for believing them if they did say so.   Any speculation as to 
who is going to do what in the future is just that -- speculation.

Your point of order is out of order.
