RE: [soac-newgtldapsup-wg] Last words

[<tijani.benjemaa@xxxxxxxx>]

Olivier, I totally support your suggestion.

 

We already defined and used the various level of consensus, as well as the
minority view.

 

As an example, here is the paragraph 2.9 a) of the first milestone report:

 

Consensus: in the group that should a ''.brand TLD[1]'' category be defined
by a future applicant process, such ''.brand TLDs'' are excluded from
support as they should be self-supporting companies and thus not eligible
for need based support. 

·         There was a Minority view that an exception could be made for
those applicants from countries where market constraints make normal
business operations more difficult and who are proposing a name in an IDN
script not currently supported. 

 

We may keep the same words to express the consensus and the minority view.

I would suggest that past report conventions and expressions be used as
much as possible. There are plenty of examples around and the Board would
have been versed in understanding the subtle differences between them. It
is, IMHO, too late to be defining new expressions of they have not been used
before.
Kind regards,

Olivier

Dear Tijani,  

 

I don't see this as a misnomer... you can have small support that is very
strong or large support that is weak. First qualifier is being the number of
members supporting the motion and the second being the level of intensity or
veracity that they wish the motion to be passed. 

 

Evan used the example in the chat as Jumbo Shrimp...  it is relative. While
I am sensitive that you don't think it translates well and is confusing, I
hope this serves to clarify your doubts.

 

Best,

 

Cintra

Dear all,

 

I couldn’t digest this “strong minority support” phrase. It contains 2
opposite meanings: “minority”  and “strong”. If it’s a minority support,
that means it’s a support from a few members. But if it’s strong support, it
means it’s a support from several members. It will be confusing the readers
of our report, and I think that we have the duty to make our report the most
clear.

 

I do think that the right phrase would be “some support”.

 

Sorry to come back to this, but it’s a matter of clarity.
