Re: [registrars] Ragistrar Statement friendly amendment

Ross, I agree for the most part. But I don't think suggested amendments
need to hold anything up. If the TF reps consider the amendment friedly
it can simply be incorporated. If not, the unfriendly amendment can be
included as an option in the vote.

Ahh yes. I completely forgot that there was a process for dealing with amendments. In this case, the body of the motion isn't the position statement. Robert's Rules would typically prevent an amendment from modifying the text of an attached document, in this case, the position statement. But I think it would be useful and appropriate to ignore this for the purpose of this vote (while avoiding setting any precedents). This is one of the reasons why its so important for each of us to make sure that we get involved in the comment periods as much as our busy schedules permit. The voting process isn't a great way of building consensus around a document - the rules are designed for forward movement, not compromise.

In any event your proposal sounds like a decent way forward under the conditions that I outlined above.
