[Gnso-igo-ingo-crp] PLEASE READ: Deadline for proposals and agenda for Working Group meeting this week

[Zak Muscovitch]

Dear All,



With regards to the Consensus Call, I wonder if it is preferable to have a
‘ranked ballot’ if possible, so that members can rank their choices in
order of preference. In this manner the vote will reflect the choice that
is the most agreeable to the most people.



Ranked voting is considered a more accurate measure of voter sentiment than
the typical 'plurality' voting, especially when there are more than two
options, and especially when some of the options share similarities while
others are quite dissimilar.  Ranked voting is in use by Australia, by
Canadian political parties, by the Oscars for picking the Best Picture
winner, by San Francisco for picking it mayor and now by Maine for picking
most of its elected officials (

More information about ranked ballots is available here:

agenda for Working Group meeting this week



SENT ON BEHALF OF PHIL AND PETTER (WORKING GROUP CO-CHAIRS)



Dear Working Group members,



We are moving toward concluding our deliberations on the topic of whether
(and if so, what) recommendation to make to deal with the situation where
the losing respondent files a claim in a national court but the IGO
succeeds in claiming immunity from the jurisdiction of that court. With
thanks to Zak for timely submitting proposed text on a new option for this
topic, which we will consider on our next call this Thursday, we request
that *if any Working Group member has any proposed text for consideration,
please submit the actual text you are proposing for Working Group
consideration no later than one hour before the Thursday call (i.e. 1600
UTC on 14 December). **This will be the deadline for submission of any
options to be included in any further polling of the WG for support or
opposition*.



The proposed agenda for the call this Thursday is as follows:

   1. Roll call/updates to Statements of Interest
   2. Co-Chairs’ recap of discussion with Nominet legal counsel on the
   Nominet appeal process
   3. Review of text proposed by Zak for a new option (in the context of a
   possible Recommendation #3)
   4. Presentation of Co-Chairs’ proposal for concluding deliberations on
   Recommendation #3 and conducting the Working Group Consensus Call for all
   Recommendations and options
   5. Scheduling the next meeting



We hope that as many Working Group members as possible can attend the call
this week, as we hope to wrap up discussions on this one remaining possible
recommendation, and proceed with the formal Consensus Call before the end
of this year.



Best regards,



Phil and Petter
