[bc-gnso] PDP re Vertical Integration - and a new perception

[Philip Sheppard]

Mike, congratulations on getting this PDP through with excellent cooperation in
the users house.
 
You say that:
"Notably, the entire Contracted Party House voted against a PDP ... In our
house, the vote was 11-2 in favor."

Importantly I believe this is the first vote where the new bi-cameral structure
exposes not "a GNSO that can not make up its mind" (old perception) but a GNSO
that contains a sub-set of suppliers with vested interests who are happy to use
their vote against a public interest. 
 
This clear demonstration may be useful to air with Board members over informal
discussions.
 
Philip
