Re: [council] GNSO PDP new TLDS: Call for further information
In documents like this, it would be useful to augment citations with a hyperlink to the referenced message or resource. It is difficult (or impossible) for a layperson to read this document and benefit from the larger context that these limited footnotes provide for. There are any number of online style guides that provide recommendations for citing online sources ) - I heartily recommend that staff choose one of these for future use - it will make these documents eminently more readable, and therefore useful, for our purposes. i.e. http://www.lib.duke.edu/libguide/cite/Turabian.htm[25] National Park Service, Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Site, 11 February 2003, available from http://www.nps.gov/abli/; Internet; accessed 13 February 2003.

We would then be able to move forward with discussions about the appropriateness of other selection criteria and allocation methods.I will be delivering to you all, I hope by the end of this week, an updated version of the new TLD /Initial Report/ in which I have included Washington inputs and other information.I would expect to be working on that /Initial Report/ during the two day session planned for 25 & 26 March.Kind regards and, of course, any questions come straight back to me. If necessary, we could add quick discussion of this document to the agenda for next week's Council call.Liz .....................................................
