Re: [ga] GA list and the GNSO council

[Hugh Dierker <hdierker2204@xxxxxxxxx>]

There are two schools of thought on this, full complete unfettered access(Jeff) and rational moderated access(Eric) But both schools believe the goal of increased access is a good thing and should be achieved. 
  Danny has held up an old DNSO protocol that I think reaches the goals of both, if it is combined with some public requests by individuals with a set criterion that can be relied upon.
   
  Could we reach majority and minority positions (consensus) on this issue?

  Hi,

Indeed there might be some value in considering a proposal for an 
approrpaite intake procedure.

In this case, I think this should be taken up with the ICANN board 
committee that is accepting proposals, as far as I understand, for 
GSNO reform.

Thanks
