> Colleagues
> "The Policies for Contractual Conditions: Existing Registries
> (PDPFeb06) policy development process is now completed at the Task
> Force level. The Task Force have voted on the Final Report which
> will be posted on the GNSO's website at http://gnso.icann.org/ as
> soon as possible. The GNSO Secretariat will send out the correct
> link and notification as the report is too large to be sent through
> the email server.
> The Task Force voted that... "The final draft of Policies for
> Contractual Conditions: Existing Registries (PDPFeb06) dated 20
> April 2007 and available at: http://gnso.icann.org/drafts/gnso-pdp-
> feb06-tfr-10apr07.pdf
> accurately reflects the work of the TF and accurately reflects the
> discussions held during the meeting, the comments received on the
> previous drafts, and the recommendations made and discussed in the
> Task Force."
>
> Of the 19 total votes which could have been cast 6 affirmative
> votes were received; 8 votes were not cast including the Registry
> Constituency which sent, on 26 April 2007, the note below.
> The NCUC, the IPC and two registrar representatives did not meet
> the poll cut-off time. There were 2 abstentions. The Chair of the
> Registry Constituency sent the following response to the vote.
>
> "To the Secretariat:
> The Registry Constituency and its members who are participants in
> PDPFEB06 do not register a vote and object to the call for a vote
> made in the Secretariat's message of 20 April 2007 on the following
> grounds:
> 1. There is no basis in GNSO or PDP procedures for a vote on a
> Final Report.
> 2. There is no basis in GNSO or PDP procedures for a vote on the
> "accuracy" of a Final Report.
> 3. There is no basis in GNSO or PDP procedures for a vote by
> "individuals who are members of the TF."
> 4. The Final Report is meaningless because it is not properly
> authorized
> by GNSO or PDP procedures and is outside the scope of GNSO powers."
>
> Alistair Dixon of the Business Constituency made one amendment to
> the Report which said "Recommendation 2A should be amended to show
> it has "medium support", consistent with the criteria for level of
> support in paragraph 1.3."
This item will be placed on the GNSO Council's May 2007 agenda.
We are now at Stage 10 of the GNSO's policy development process --
