[gnso-vi-feb10] RE: Revised Charter, including updated Definitions

[Milton L Mueller <mueller@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the quick turnaround, Margie.

Quite relieved to see that the proposed modifications of the definitions seem 
ok to me. Agree with the "working definition" approach here, that was always 
the intention. Remember, these definitions are guides to the WG formation of 
policy and not contract language.

For linguistic elegance, can we replace "equivalent access and 
non-discriminatory access" with "equivalent, nondiscriminatory access" ? Not a 
big deal but easier to read and the meaning seems the same.

Subject: [gnso-vi-feb10] Revised Charter, including updated Definitions

Dear All,

Please find attached a revised charter, that includes suggestions made to date 
by Brian Cute and Jeff Eckhaus, for your review.   I did not include Kristina’s 
recent email  suggestion, because I didn’t recall what variations were proposed 
by Milton with respect to “resale and wholesale markets.”

Please note that the revisions to the definitions  are intended to track the 
language used in current registry agreements.  These agreements use the terms 
“equivalent access” and “non-discriminatory access” to describe these 
obligations, but do not actually define these terms.

At yesterday’s call there was a request that Staff develop definitions to be 
consistent with the analysis done through the implementation process.  Doing 
this will take longer than a few days, so we suggest that the working group  
finalize the charter based  on the current definitions.   Staff can continue to 
further develop these  definitions if that is useful to the working group, and 
update the charter when they are available.

Best Regards,

Margie
