Jeff, et. al.,
Even though short, this note makes more of what happened than I heard. In as
much as it was an open discussion, we didn't hear from all and we certainly
took no votes, either on a proposal, motion or sense of the Council.
And I was the guy who coined the term "executivication" of decision-making at
ICANN. I see the problem, but not the basis for a solution.
It is true that the Board committee's decision has sparked a bit of a
controversy (the transcript of the meeting shows that), but there is no basis
for any "ask," except perhaps that the full Board draw its own conclusion as to
whether the decision undermines the community as has been suggested. Asking
for this to be on our joint meeting agenda for Durban is totally within our
purview, too.
I guess that rolls up to being an objection.
Cheers,
Berard

Bruce,
Thanks for forwarding this note on to the Council. Given the timing
sensitivities, I would propose the Council tomorrow sending a note like the one
below. Any objections?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Dear Board Governance Committee,
As you may be aware, the GNSO Council had the opportunity to
review the BGC Recommendation on Reconsideration Request 13-3, which can be
found at
http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/governance/reconsideration/recommendation-ncsg-16may13-en.pdf
(Recommendation) during its regular monthly Council call on June 16, 2013.
Although the Council in no way intends to interfere with outcomes of
Reconsideration Requests in general, we have some key concerns with the
implications of the rationale used by the BGC in support of the Recommendation.
These concerns were expressed during the Council call and on the Council
mailing list and centered around the perceived potential impact of the
Recommendation on the GNSO and more broadly, the bottom-up, multi-stakeholder
model.
We therefore respectfully ask the BGC to withdraw the
arguments used to support the ultimate rejection of the Reconsideration
Request, and replace the rationale with something more in line with the scope
of Reconsideration Requests as outlined in the ICANN Bylaws. In addition, we
ask that we continue the dialogue on the this particular matter in July at the
ICANN meeting in Durban.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Robinson
GNSO Council Chair

Hello Jonathan,
For information- the Board Governance Committee is meeting on Tuesday 18 June
at 21:00 UTC time.
A review of the rationale for reconsideration request 13.3 is on the agenda.
Any materials you can provide before then would be useful.
I am expecting that the new gTLD program committee will then consider
reconsideration request 13.3 at its meeting on 25 June 2013.
Regards,
Bruce Tonkin
