[gnso-rds-pdp-wg] The message to the community (was Re: Cancellation of RDS PDP WG meetings at ICANN62)

[Kris Seeburn]

Thanks Chuck for the effort drawn into this WG. It is not that we could not get somewhere but i would say all sorts of possibilities was tried. When i look back it seemed to chaotic at times to go anywhere. In fact we went into circles most of the time. We have to be cognizant about that.

Whether intentional or non intentional, the very fact of not wanting and many wanting to stop at a certain position and not quite wanting to move on is a clear cut situation that we could not move and find a middle ground.

But by all means thank you so much chuck and all the best.

Kris
