Hi Dave, Milton and all:

And, of course, I really would like to hold votation online right now or
before MdR meeting 
on the issues I am addressing in the recent proposal of voting on First
View document and Draft Statement  of Policy on .ORG Divesture.

I am sure that NCDNHC charter doesn't limit votations to f2f meetings be
first, since this procedure was created with the spirit to 
provide initial inputs to be provided to the Names Council and/or ICANN
Board.  

However, it is important to run votations before f2f meeting
when time and/or circumstances makes that an Official Position should be
developed before f2f meetings, or when Names Council wants to vote
online on subjects addressed there, or when there are public comments on
documents produced by Task Forces, etc.

Thank you Dave.

Best Regards
Vany
