RE: [dow2tf] WHOIS TF 2: Draft section 2.4

["Cade,Marilyn S - LGCRP" <mcade@xxxxxxx>]

One suggestion for all to consider. In all international fora, when there are two [or more] views, the rational thing to do, is to include both, in [ ], and then to work to a better consensus. We might want to consider that as an option to help us as we seek to find agreements. 

One caution, though. We need to avoid the language of "arguments" where that is possible. :-) 
Perspectives, or views, or different opinions is a more neutral statement.

This approach sounds reasonable.  One of the useful roles a
"findings" section can play is to summarize and compare the various
positions received from constituencies in one place.
