Dear Vany,

Perhaps we can find some points of agreement.

The vote was for sponsored unrestricted.  Ignoring
the question for now of whether or not sponsored
is a viable option, the constituency voted almost
unanimously for sponsored + unrestricted.
Surely, if people were opposed to the notion of
unrestricted, they would have voted against the
proposal.  Therefore, I conclude, and I hope that
you will too, that everyone who voted at that meeting
except for you is opposed to a restricted dot org.

I'm sure that you will agree that one of the responsibilities
of our elected leaders, including you and Milton, is to
facilitate the operations of our constituency.  In that
spirit and to reduce the overwhelming amount of email
that this topic is generating, I propose that:

1.  You acknowledge that the constituency does not
share your views about requiring that dot org be
restricted.

2.  Milton agrees to submit proposals to the constituency
prior to submitting them outside the constituency unless
there is a deadline imposed from outside that prevents that.
And in that case I propose that Milton at least submit
the proposals in parallel.  Given the huge amount of email
that certain members of this constituency generate,
I believe it would be reasonable for Milton to give a
cutoff time for comments.  Otherwise, we will email any
proposal to death, to say nothing of continuing to drive
from the list people who don't have the time to read 20 - 30
postings per day from the ncdnhc alone.

Regards,
Barbara
