<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">Following up on what I said on one of the calls, and consistent with Greg Shatan's comments (an agreement that I think should probably be noted as significant in itself), I don't think the staff categorizations have
worked. If the ultimate point is to get feedback on potential fixes that have been raised, and we don't want to spend a lot more time on this, then I would say we may need to pass on the proposals as non-consensus proposals for community feedback. As Greg
did, I supported proposals for comment that I am presently unlikely to support for adoption; based on other comments, I suspect many of us did so--which means that any staff-prepared summary of objections received is also going to be unrepresentative of the
full range of arguments against a particular proposal unless we spend a lot more time on it.</p>

<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">One specific thing: t<span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">he charter asks if the URS is fit for purpose. If you agree that the charge allows the answer "no," then one recommendation
for a fix is "make it the UDRP," if you think the game isn't worth the candle. That proposal is thus clearly within scope. </span></p>
