Folks,
It is time to declare what the consensus is for our final report and
the summary of public comments. The documents have been prepared
according to all comments and discussions and we need to submit the
work products to our chartering organizations: GNSO (registry
constituency) and the SSAC.
On behalf of Edmon and myself, as co-chairs, I am going to make a
declaration of consensus and ask for agreement or statement of
objection. Our decision making methodology defined in our charter
requires that folks explicitly state if they agree (or state their
objection) and based on those statements the chairs will designate
the
status of the working group as one of the following:
€ Unanimous consensus position
€ Rough consensus position where no more than 1/3 disagrees and at
least 2/3 agree
€ Strong support (at least a simple majority), but significant
opposition (more than 1/3)
€ No majority position
In addition, we are required to include the names and affiliations of
those in support of each position. There is an appeal process
defined
in the charter if anyone needs it.
The current response declarations are noted for the record.
Avri (okay with changes incorporated)
Scott (okay with revised version)
