RE: [gtld-council] FW: [council] Next steps with the new gTLD recommendations

["Gomes, Chuck" <cgomes@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What is wrong with voting on the whole package?  As Philip accurately
pointed out, a vote on one recommendation in isolation might be very
different than a vote on the total package.  We just need to make sure
that we have vetted all the issues on individual recommendations before
we get to that point; in other words, we should do everything we can to
reach rough consensus on wording that most of us can support.
