RE: [council] draft statement on .com

["Jonathan Robinson" <jonathan.robinson@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have no objection to this or similar.

 

I expect the statement (or a variant of it) crafted by David & Brian might
come out via the IPC in the public forum.

Subject: [council] draft statement on .com

 

All,

here comes my proposed language for a statement that could be made by
Stéphane.

 

Thomas

 

The GNSO Council had discussed with the Board during its meeting on Sunday
that there were several instances where the GNSO Council was not involved
prior the Board made decisions to seek community input. 

It is with disappointment that the GNSO Council noted that a resolution on
the renewal of the .com contract was passed last weekend while this very
matter is a topic for today's public forum. Parts of the community may deem
their contributions moot when they are not considered by the Board prior to
making a decision. 

We would like to explicitly point this out in order to make sure that
community input is sought before resolutions are made and not afterwards
when future meetings are planned. 

 

Thomas
