[NCUC-DISCUSS] [info] Draft New ICANN Bylaws Posted for Public Comment

[Seth Johnson]

Well slow down now:

This is a public comments period.  It's the phase where a work product
of a group of groups has been supposedly completed and issued for
public consideration.  The groups that worked on it are not at a phase
where they are being asked to continue preparing it, BUT it is now a
product for general public consideration.  You've already acceded to
the process of producing it, so even though you may question that,
that would at best be a supporting point of a public comment on the
work product.  At least, the political likelihood of re-upping the
preparation even if the process is questionable is not where the
shepherds are.

That says nothing about what the public has to say -- which may well
include process concerns.
