[council] RE: Notice To GNSO Council with regard to the Board Resolution addressing Vertical Integration

[Adrian Kinderis <adrian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just saw this... sorry that is the way I read my email (back to front... it is 
a down under thing...)! 

My email still stands. I think the language needs to be included in Chuck's 
motion.

Oh, I also think something needs to be said about the WG itself.

We spent far too many hours recently debating the sending of an interim report 
to the Board. I suggested at the time that we should just call the report final 
as there was no way that consensus was going to be reached. I suggested in 
Brussels that consensus would not be reached. We didn't. Is what we have now 
any more advanced than at that point?

Whilst we should be applauding all their hard work etc etc I think it is a flaw 
in the chairs to have allowed this to continue on without recognizing the end 
result was not going to change.

I get that this will cause me some flak as no one is allowed to criticize 
anyone in the whole ICANN world but I still think this is a failure of the WG. 
Valuable time was waste in the pursuit of an unreachable goal.

If we don't do debriefs of each WG as a Council we certainly should start. How 
do we expect to learn and grow? We certainly debrief regularly within our 
organization and the benefits are clearly visible.

Thanks.  

Adrian Kinderis

Subject:        Notice with regard to the Board Resolution addressing
Vertical Integration
____

In response to Section 2.11 (Vertical Integration) of the 25 September
2010 resolution by the ICANN Board, we would like to notify the GNSO
Council that to date the Working Group has not reached a consensus view
on vertical integration.   

We plan to incorporate public comments into the Interim Report and
provide the Council with a Final Report in advance of the Council's 18
November meeting.
