RE: [council] RE: [whois-sc] ISPCP View on Task Force Discussion

I did not see Milton's message until Thomas replied to it (indeed Milton's
message does not appear on the Whois S/G list archives either) but I must
register an objection to the proposal to further delay ANY consideration of
the accuracy issue (one of the consensus top 5) until after completion of
work on a number of complex issues that were not considered a priority by
more than one or at most two constituencies.  

Totally aside from the issue of the Steering Group's priority-setting
process, further delay on the Whois accuracy issue does not strike me as a
viable option for ICANN in the current environment.

Hello,

I want to support the idea of three separate taskforces as well.
Since the scope of the identified areas is too big to be dealt with
at the same time I would prefere one for each area. Whether this
taskforces should be simultaneously or not should be the decision
of the GNSO council after reviewing the resources of the participating
constituencies. It might be worthwile noting that any constituency is
free to delegate the work on this taskforces to different people in
their constituency. 

I personally don't believe that one sole taskforce will be able to deal 
with the whole complexity of this issue in a reasonable time.

Best,

tom
