From chris.lahatte at icann.org Tue Jan 27 22:42:40 2015 From: chris.lahatte at icann.org (Chris LaHatte) Date: Tue, 27 Jan 2015 22:42:40 +0000 Subject: Input to Expert Working Group on gTLD Directory Services Expert Working Group Dissent Opinion Message-ID: <422a9f64df5b4944999069192aa4a731@PMBX112-W1-CA-1.PEXCH112.ICANN.ORG> I have received a complaint that the Expert Working Group pages do not include the dissenting opinion from Stephanie Perrin. I have been provided with the links to the final report and other materials, and the dissenting opinion does not appear to be included. The complainant considered that the dissent should be included in the interests of transparency and openness, and pointed out that other dissenting opinions on significant issues have previously been included on other matters. My initial contact therefore is really by way of an enquiry, because it may be that the dissent was overlooked when the other materials were posted including the final report. I would be happy to discuss this further, possibly at our Singapore meeting. My preliminary view, subject to comments from the Expert Working Group, is that the dissent should be included. If this was a deliberate decision, I would be grateful for your comments and the reason. That will enable me to reach a considered opinion on the facts.
