[gnso-rds-pdp-wg] On "camps" (was Re: For WG Review - Redlined Problem Statement)

[Andrew Sullivan]

I think this entire notion of "camps" is the wrong way to go about it.
It's a military metaphor, after all, and it suggests that someone
needs to "win the battle".  If we start from that point of view, we
risk polarization for no obvious good reason, we possibly neglect
alternative points of view that are less concerned about this
particular dichotomy, and we undermine the multi- part of
multi-stakeholder.

Best regards,

A

It does not seem to be about anonymous registrants in the preceding sentence, otherwise we’d say “registrants” rather than “end-users.”  Are we trying to say that there is a wide range of end-users and they may have various views on the issues depending on their use cases and circumstances?
