While it is mentioned that there were minority<br>>statements, there is little to no mention of the subject of those<br>>minority statements.<br>><br>>While it is true that the fully diligent Board member may go looking for<br>>these minority statements based on the cross reference, for the most<br>>part, I believe that fact will be missed by several at least.<br>><br>>I think that at least one sentence abstract on the subject manner of<br>>each of these minority statements should be included in this report,<br>>yest another table. I believe this should be a standard practice for all<br>>Board reports given the important part minority statements play in ICANN<br>>policy processes.<br>><br>>I have just begun to discuss this issue with my fellow council members<br>>from the NCSG so at this point am just speaking on my own behalf of my<br>>discomfort with this report, in its current state, being on the consent<br>>agenda. I did not wish to wait until they considered this however,<br>>because of the tardiness with which I am making the request that this be<br>>removed from the consent agenda until such time as the report is<br>>modified or we have at least discussed the issue.<br>><br>>thanks and renewed apologies<br>><br>>avri<br>><br>><br>>Thanks<br>><br>>avri<br></body>
