[council] Comment on the tasting discussion (probably belated)

[Tim Ruiz]

Regarding Jeff's comments on the ICANN fee, without it the largest of
the tasting activity, in .com, will continue. I appreciate the work that
Neustar and Afilias have done regarding their funnel requests and have
supported them, but so far there is no indication that Verisign intends
to follow their lead.

Regarding the motion, and even though I was on the design team, the
feedback we've received from our constituency indicates that more time
and work is needed.

And finally, although a little off topic, we need to do some serious
work on viable and consistent tools for remote participation in these
meetings.
