[ncdnhc-discuss] Board Positions on .ORG (fwd)

[Alejandro Pisanty - DGSCA y FQ, UNAM]

Jefsey,

thanks for your call against confrontation. I apologize to all list
members if my previous note has been unacceptably angry for you.

Please go back to the session recording (you all know where it is online?)
and see that the DNSO guidance was taken very seriously. Not all of it was
incorporated in the Accra resolution but left instead open for the actual
moment of deciding on the adjudication of the registry.

In particular the notions of "grandfathering" (beyond simply allowing
existing registrations to continue: something like quality of service also
has to be preserved or increased), unrestricted registration / refusal to
police content, etc., have been upheld.

Some notions were not retained. The resolutions, and the process for the
RFP, have been made in consistency with one more call received repeatedly,
for prompt divestiture, and for compressing some time limits in order to
allow for bidders to have the most time possible when the RFP is out.

This said qualitatively, in simplified/abridged form, and late, late in
the night. Apologies for consequences of working so.

Now. Would some of you engage in the discussion for the evolution and
reform committee? It is an open process in which time is of the essence.
May I call on participants to go beyond the initial part of Stuart Lynn's
document, ie skip the part on governments for a minute since there is
already input on that, and start focussing on such matters as the
structure itself? Mission, bounds, stakeholders, processes?

Yours,

Alejandro Pisanty
