[soac-mapo] RE: Please participate - another CWG Rec 6 Poll on Issue 5

[Milton L Mueller <mueller@xxxxxxx>]

Again, I object to these questions. They make no sense if one believes that the 
DRSP should not make recommendations. This has the Board voting on a DRSP 
decision, and most of us have agreed that we don't want that - we want a direct 
Board vote to eliminate and application based on an objection

I request that we create a separate poll with these two question:
1.      Should there be a higher threshold for Board rejection of a string that 
the third party panel recommended be delegated?

2.      Should there be a higher threshold for Board approval of a string that 
the third party panel recommended not be delegated?


There are probably other possible questions as well, but a poll on these should 
give us enough to communicate some level of support and we can decide on our 
language reporting the results on our call tomorrow.

Let me encourage everyone to be patient with each other and to assume the best 
instead of the worst.  Please communicate issues like  this but also understand 
that all of us are working extra hours with a compressed time schedule.

Sorry.  I have been traveling to Vilnius with limited access.  Please answer 
this question as worded and we will handle the separate questions on another 
poll.

Marika - Please send out a separate poll with this one separated into two 
questions if possible.  If that doesn't work, we will try to resolve in our 
call Monday.

We had consensus of needing a high threshold vote of the board to deny a tld - 
but not to disagree with the DRSP.    We have 2 different issues being 
conflated with this rec and they need to be separated for it to be accurate.



Thanks,

Hi Robin-



I spent a lot of time looking over everyone's comments and making a judgment 
call on those items where there were conflicting instructions.     You did not 
waste your time  because your comments were considered carefully.     In the 
items below, other comments were made that seemed to conflict with your 
comments.



 It is unreasonable for working group members to expect that all of their 
comments would be included...  there were many comments from others that were 
not included in the draft that was  used for the poll.     However, if after 
the poll there is no consensus on these points as written, the language can be 
amended.    The purpose of the poll is simply to serve as a tool to facilitate 
discussions on Monday's call, and to help finalize the recommendations for 
inclusion in the report.



Best regards,



Margie

I spent several hours on Friday afternoon editing this draft, but these edits 
don't seem to be included in today's draft.



Some are rather significant concerns that I don't believe we can just ignore.



For example, the wording of Rec. 5 dealing with board decisions to reject / 
deny an application.  Still reads:



Issue:         Should there be a higher threshold for approving or rejecting  
third party objections to TLD applications?



When was there a consensus in this group that we wanted to restrict the board's 
decision AT ALL?



This is the comment I made on Friday in the draft, but is just deleted in 
today's draft with no changes in the wording of Rec. :

[ **** I think the more accurate question here is "what is the threshold of 
board vote needed to approve or reject a new gtld...?"  I don't believe we 
discussed in sufficient detail (if at all) any requirement to restrict a board 
vote to DRSP advice at any voting level.]



I wish I would have known I was wasting my time editing the draft on Friday, as 
I could have spent my time on paid work instead of volunteering for ICANN.  But 
that is not the point, --> I'd really like someone to show me where there was a 
consensus to draft this Rec. this way (restricting the board to DRSP advice at 
all).



We had consensus of needing a high threshold vote of the board to deny a tld - 
not to disagree with the DRSP.    This is a big mistake in drafting that needs 
to be corrected (not ignored).



Thanks,

Robin
