[NCUC-DISCUSS] Troika merge proposal

[Kathy Kleiman]

+1 Joy. We have two policy development process working groups in ICANN
now speeding towards completion -- with multiple meetings a week, and
some at changing and unusual times (Subsequent Procedures WG for rules
of new gTLD applications/processing/roll-out and Rights Protections
Mechanisms for trademark and free speech protections of the same).  I
think EPDP folks are working even harder than we are.
Plus, I am in a country where COVID is spreading rapidly, where were
are trying to figure out how we'll be teaching in the Fall, and any
number of other additional pressures from the pandemic.
Is this the right time?
Best, Kathy

	Hi Joly - good question, thanks.  To be honest, I have no intention
of responding to the debate at this point - the idea generates about
as much interest as I would have in sharpening a blunt pencil and
using it to poke holes in cheese. 

	No disrespect intended to those who favour discussing it, but
honestly, with all the other issues in the DNS+ world right now, I
would have thought better to engage in substantive policy work than on
this kind of internal restructuring. 

	I acknowledge that I say this as someone who hasn't engaged in policy
work for some time (for various reasons) and also being from New
Zealand, where we currently have the privilege of living in a
Covid-free community thanks to our strong political leadership and
collective community action.  However, this does give me a different
perspective on ICANN, gTLDs, ccTLDs and relative priorities.
