Re: [soac-newgtldapsup-wg] Prioritization

[Avri Doria <avri@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Thanks for this note.  

If we can't reach a full consensus on the point of prioritization, we may take 
he opportunity to list both option with the reasons for them.

At this point I think there is:
1. Consensus against limitation
2. strong support for prioritization and 
3.  some support against any prioritization.

(Please let the list know if I am wrong)

I suggest that unless things change, this is the way it be written up.  And I 
suggest that Tijani and others who are against any sort of prioritization craft 
a note (the note below may be the start of that note). I recommend the same for 
those who favor prioritization.

I also recommend that the discussion of the levels of support and reason for 
them be included in line in the report and not hidden away in an back-matter.

Thanks

a.
