[Gnso-igo-ingo-crp] FOR REVIEW: Updated Draft Final Report

[George Kirikos]

Hi folks,

On what basis/rule is the following restriction of what can be in the
minority report valid? Please advise ASAP.

"> Minority statements should be limited to documenting your disagreement with
> any of the final recommendations, along with your reasons for such
> disagreement (including, if appropriate, your reasons for preferring a
> different proposal/option)."

For example, if I disagree with elements of the report or was
prevented from putting in various text into the final report (whether
or not it pertains to a final recommendation I disagree with), it
seems the only place to put that disagreement is in a Minority Report

For example, Phil Corwin had disagreed with the designation levels for
Option 1 of Recommendation 5. Is he allowed to argue in a Minority
Report that the designation level is incorrect within his minority
report? If so, then I should be allowed to argue that the designation
level *is* correct, within my Minority Report.  If instead he's not
allowed to argue that the designation level is incorrect, but is
restricted to a limited argument about the recommendation itself
(which is separate from the designation level), and not whether we did
get sufficient support or not to reach a "consensus", then that should
be made clear now, for everyone's benefit (at which point, if folks do
put in things that are not allowed, then the entire Minority Report
should be rejected).

So, I'd like to know precisely what's allowed, and what's not allowed,
with citation to the relevant Rule(s) that might restrict what can be
in the report.

To the extent that any restriction does exist, then the main report
should be allowed to be expanded accordingly, since I do represent
many of the Majority Views (that might not actually be reflected in
the report, due to Staff holding the pen).

Sincerely,

George Kirikos
