RE: [council] Draft resolution Verisign for Council 2 Dec

Whilst the ISPCP didn't formally discuss the resolution during our constituency 
meeting we did update our statement on the VeriSign issue and will be posting 
this shortly. However it appears appropriate to make you aware that the ISPCP 
share the BC view that no decision should be made by the Board prior to the 
Wellington meeting. Discussion across the past few days has emphasised the 
serious level of concern over this proposal, and its our view that ICANNs duty 
is to the whole community, which means they must never give way to pressure 
that results in a bad deal being signed because of time constraints.
 
No deal is preferable to a bad deal, and its vital that adequate time is 
allowed to ensure this one results in benefits to the broad community. It would 
also provide an additional opportunity to progress this issue with full 
community involvement.
 
Tony

        While the IPC agrees with the points raised in the preamble, we think 
the timeline set in the resolution is a bit unrealistic.  The Board needs to 
act in the best interest of the corporation.  They have a fiduciary duty to do 
so.  Delaying action until March may be too long and not in the best interest 
of getting the lawsuits settled. We are also not convinced by the merits of a 
PDP on the issues mentioned in paragraph 2 but will not oppose the suggested 
wording if all other constituencies wish to keep it.
        
        Our proposed amendments are reproduced in attachment.

        Proposed amendment to BC resolution.
        
        I have heard from one or two of you that you would prefer to separate 
the resolution into two segments. I believe this is easy to do, and can support 
that. . I urge all constituencies to discuss this resolution. It is the BC 
intent to call for a supporting vote for the resolution, with the idea of 
separating the call for the PDP/issues report from the board resolution.

        Council members,
        please find attached from the Bc a  proposed draft Council motion on the
        Verisign settlement. This follows the constituency presentations at the
        Verisign review meeting and proposes the board delay adoption until the
        council has considered the GNSO related aspects arising from the
        settlement.
        
        We hope this provides a full day for Constituencies to consider the
        proposed motion before Council might adopt it.
        
        Philip
        
        Regards,
        Marilyn Cade
