[gnso-rds-pdp-wg] Our decisions, deliberations, and recommendations (was Re: Article 29 Working Party to ICANN)

[Chuck]

As Andrew suggests, it sure would be helpful if members discussed the
definition of Domain Name Management on this list as well as responding to
the poll that provides several options for that definition.  The definition
will guide our deliberation as we discuss what data elements are necessary
to collect for the various aspects of Domain Name Management.

Dear colleagues,

I would say, "Hopefully not."  I would like instead for the WG to make some
decisions and some recommendations, and put bounds around those decisions
(such as, "This only works if ICANN puts its 'data HQ' in one of
[countries].")  Given our apparent enormous head start on the topic as
compared to attempting to "fix up" the current whois policy to conform, it'd
be nice if we finished first.

More generally, I noted later in the thread that some people started talking
about the _current_ whois policies and what ICANN can or must do, and so on.
I think that is not our concern, and if people want to debate it they should
take it somewhere else.  Only this week on the call, people were complaining
about how the WG seems to make no progress in between calls.  Yet I have not
seen an effort to hammer out the compromise about terms that seemed likely
to derail us on Tuesday, despite there being a poll out that contains at
least two versions of what I understood to be the problematic language.

If we focussed on getting agreement on some of the basics, perhaps we
_would_ get done before ICANN-the-corporation is forced to make decisions
that create new facts for us to cope with.

Best regards,

A
