Barbara,  my voting in the Names Council depends on the product of the
online votation
which is the only official results according to our charter, regardless
my views.  That's my compromise with the NCDNHC.  

The mission of the AdCom is administrative only.  The AdCom
organize the votations, organize the documents, collection of membership
fees and donations, open discussions...But don't take as excuse
that I belong to the AdCom to block me for express my point of views
and to document them.  I will remember you that we are here representing
our
organizations and in somehow if you wants to prevent to any member to
express their point of views, also you are preveting a Non-Commercial
organization
to have voice, regardless if the organization representative has being
elected
AdCom and/or NC member.

This is not about recognition or not of point of views when the online
voting hasn't taken place yet, 
and the only one that has being pushing to the AdCom
to finally make this online votation.   In fact, everybody has the right
to have its own point of views.
But we agree in the NCDNHC that whatever decides the constituency in an
online voting are views of the constituency as a
whole and as such the Names Council members (Milton, YJ and I) vote
accordingly.
The NCDNHC are composed by 184 members.
I understand that Chun is ready to
send ballots, but still I am waiting response of the other AdCom members
to 
so officially Chun can send ballots. I may assume that holidays are bad
days to contact
almost everyone, and as such, probably we are missing inputs of many
other members because
December is a really problematic month.  Please Barbara read again
NCDNHC Charter before claiming official results.

By the way, Barbara, my points of views are moved because my compromise
with the NCDNHC mission stablished in the NCDNHC charter.  
I am sure that many of our members are moved by the same ideals even 
if our views are different.  However, I documented succesfully 
that Sponsored Restricted for .ORG is more near to be in compliance with
our charter in the best
interests of the Non-Commercial sector we claim to protect and defend
rather than Sponsored Unrestricted.  

So the vote will be a matter of conscience.

Agree! 
Not only Milton.  Anyone that is member of a WG, TF and or
Committee has the duty to submit in the NCDNHC behalf any propsosal
drafted  by such person to the NCDNHC before submit it,
no matter if they are NC members or not, for comments and I would
suggest that
everytime that we have to send official positions, we organize votations
where all constituencies has
a chance to execute their right to vote.  This is the
only way to know if the comments of 10 or 30 members reflects or not the
thoughs of 184 members.

Best Regards
Vany
