[gnso-rds-pdp-wg] RDS Statement of Purpose

[Alan Greenberg]

Two comments:

1. This is a PDP. We do not based our actions by 
what is in an ICANN policy, but it is our job to 
decide what is in the policies (in relation to our topic).

2. ICANN is here for far more than to enforce its 
own policies. We must ensure that the policies 
and all they imply address the public interest. 
If we judge that something related to the RDS (or 
whatever) is in the public interest, our job is 
to see that it happens or can happen. That is 
complex, because there are clearly multiple 
conflicting desires/needs, but we ARE supposed to be factoring them all in.
