[gnso-iocrc-dt] Preparation for Tomorrow's Call

[Mary.Wong at LAW.UNH.EDU]

Thank you, Avri, and thank you to all members who have filed comments.
I think it's a good idea for the Policy Committees to file in support of
our members' comments. I will put something together for the NCSG-PC
before 23 March. 

As Avri says, it is not likely that we can "stop the train". I am
hoping, however, that at the very least the Drafting Team will consider
amending the motion and/or splitting it so that the final resolution is
less sweeping and more nuanced than it currently is. Because of the
Council voting rules, even if all 6 NCSG Councilors vote No or Abstain
(which under the rules amounts to a No vote), motions for all but PDPs
are carried by a simple majority of each House. Assuming that the
Contracted Parties House all vote in the way indicated in Costa Rica,
there will be a unanimous vote from that House; from the Non-Contracted
Parties House, I expect all 6 of the Commercial Stakeholder Group
Councilors as well as the 1 NomCom-appointed Councilor to also vote yes,
for a simple majority of 7. 

FWIW the NomCom-appointed Councilor to our House understands our
objections and views to some extent, but I do not believe he will change
his vote. As a NomCom appointee, he is not tied to or bound to any SG or
constituency viewpoint. 

Cheers 
Mary

Hi

While I have already filed comments on 2 topics, I plan to file
comments on 2 more topics.  Hope I get to it in time.

Is the NCSG PC filing anything.

If nothing else, perhaps the NCSG-PC or NCUC-PC can endorse  some of
the various comments that have been submitted by the SG/C members.

Of course if we expect any of these comments to make a single bit of
difference in the report from this DT or in the vote of the GNSO
council, we are deluding ourselves.  The only chance is that the
comments be properly included in the report to the Board and that
someone on the hope that someone on Board will actually read them and be
able to make a considered decision.

As i said in my comment at the microphone, in one thing I agree with
Jeff - this event will be a milestone in the GNSO's demise.  I disagree
with him about the cause, it is  not because we delayed doing the GAC's
bidding to allow for 1/2 of a proper comment process, but because we are
tripping over ourselves to do the wrong thing.  In all my years of GNSO
participation and past leadership, I have never been so disappointed in
the organization or its leadership.
