RE: [registrars] Update on Tasting Ballot

["Nevett, Jonathon" <jnevett@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tom:

The registrar statement and the words after View 2 were, in fact, voted
on and approved by the constituency by a vote of 20 to 4 with 7
abstentions.  Please feel free to call me if you want to discuss, but
let's take it offline before we create more confusion.  Here is a link
to the results of that vote.

Thanks.

Jon

 Jon and Rob,


NOTHING should be presented as a registrar statement, unless it has been
voted on.

In other words, there is nothing "common to both views" unless it has
been
voted to be so.

In my previous email, I am merely pointing out that the statements that
follow the end of the "view 2" in this proposed resolution have not been
approved by this constituency and is not currently subject to any vote
to
become approved by the constituency.

For example, we have not been asked on whether we agree with the
sentence
that begins with "Preferred" nor with the sentence that begins with
"Acceptable but not preferred".  Both of these appear to be the opinion
of
the drafter of the resolution.

It may well be that these are commonly held views.  However, if you do
not
allow the constituency to vote for them, then they are NOT common views
and
should be omitted from this resolution.

best regards,

Tom

Russ:

Thanks for your helpful comments.

You are correct that View 2 ends with "ICANN should not be regulating
market
activity" and that the sentence beginning with "Notwithstanding"
is common to both views.

I've updated the Wiki page to make it clearer.

Thanks again for pointing it out.

Jon-

Thanks for updating the ballot, I find it easier to understand and less
controversial.

The only remaining piece that isn't entirely clear to me is whether View
2
ends with part b, right before "Notwithstanding the above ..." or if it
continues to the end of the page.

My impression is that "Notwithstanding ..." begins several statements
which
are common to both views and will be submitted regardless of which
viewpoint
wins, but I think it would be helpful to indicate precisely which pieces
go
together, especially since Tom (and probably others) read those
statements
as though they were additional views.

Regards,

-Russ
