<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Thank you Alissa: this reflects my concerns well. I note that we did this discussion entirely by e-mail, so I can understand how Wolf-Ulrich missed it. I have a couple of other comments - all are in the marked-up

 To: Wolf-Ulrich Knoben; <a href="mailto:internal-cg@icann.org" target="_blank">internal-cg@icann.org</a> Subject: Re: [Internal-cg] consensus building Wolf-Ulrich, Thanks for your work on this. On 9/2/14, 1:19 AM, &quot;WUKnoben&quot; wrote: &gt; &gt;* “small minority”: should
 further be discussed. I added &gt; the condition that a recommendation is not reached if at least one of &gt;the ICG &gt; communities (according to the list) as a whole is firmly and formally &gt;opposed. &gt; That would mean a formal written objection by the community &gt;leadership
 on &gt; behalf of their community. &gt; I’m not sure this matches what was being discussed on the list. If we use the text Martin had suggested, I think the third bullet under section 4(b) should read: &quot;After enough time has passed for the ICG to consider and attempt
 to accommodate objections, the ICG can reach a conclusion if at most a small minority disagrees and their objections have been documented. It is not expected that the representatives of an operational community significantly and directly affected by a conclusion
 would be overruled in this process.” Alissa _______________________________________________ Internal-cg mailing list
