RE: [registrars] Verisign change to operation of the .com DNS lookup service

["Elana Broitman" <ebroitman@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear all, the normal process for votes is as follows (in short):


Motion must have five endorsements - DONE

48 HOURS FOR Constituency Secretary to publish the motion 

14 DAYS for discussion of the motion, during which time friendly (acceptable) or unfriendly amendments can be filed

48 HOURS for ballot to remain open for inspection 

7 DAYS for the vote and keep it open for no less than 7 days

We clearly don't have time for this entire schedule.

Therefore, per the following section, "other than in exceptional circumstances which the Secretary will notify to the list beforehand," I am asking Bob as Secretary to post a ballot by tomorrow, September 18, for six days, with the result to be tallied by September 24.

Ross - this allows you 2 days to modify your motion with any amendments you deem friendly.

Ross's motion, which incidentally I'd also endorsed was as follows:  "The Registrar Constituency strongly recommends that the GNSO Council advocate that ICANN explicitly require gTLD Registry Operators to return an NXDOMAIN response for DNS records that do not exist and that in all cases, wild-card entries in gTLD zones should be strictly forbidden."

Please let me know if anyone has major concerns with this faster approach.

regarding SiteFinder; I think its fair to ask "What did ICANN know and when
did they know it?".

Dear Paul:  Thank you for the fifth endorsement.  Apparently you conclude 
that Elana did *not* endorse it.

So we now have five endorsements.  I should publish the motion within 48
hours.

I wonder whether Ross would like to polish it further before that.  Once I 
"publish the motion and call for discussion", the 14 day period for 
discussion starts.
