[registrars] Update on Tasting Ballot

[Thomas Barrett - EnCirca]

 Jon and Rob,


NOTHING should be presented as a registrar statement, unless it has been
voted on.

In other words, there is nothing "common to both views" unless it has been
voted to be so.

In my previous email, I am merely pointing out that the statements that
follow the end of the "view 2" in this proposed resolution have not been
approved by this constituency and is not currently subject to any vote to
become approved by the constituency.

For example, we have not been asked on whether we agree with the sentence
that begins with "Preferred" nor with the sentence that begins with
"Acceptable but not preferred".  Both of these appear to be the opinion of
the drafter of the resolution.

It may well be that these are commonly held views.  However, if you do not
allow the constituency to vote for them, then they are NOT common views and
should be omitted from this resolution.

best regards,

Tom

Russ:

Thanks for your helpful comments.

You are correct that View 2 ends with "ICANN should not be regulating market
activity" and that the sentence beginning with "Notwithstanding"
is common to both views.

I've updated the Wiki page to make it clearer.

Thanks again for pointing it out.

Jon-

Thanks for updating the ballot, I find it easier to understand and less
controversial.

The only remaining piece that isn't entirely clear to me is whether View
2
ends with part b, right before "Notwithstanding the above ..." or if it
continues to the end of the page.

My impression is that "Notwithstanding ..." begins several statements which
are common to both views and will be submitted regardless of which viewpoint
wins, but I think it would be helpful to indicate precisely which pieces go
together, especially since Tom (and probably others) read those statements
as though they were additional views.

Regards,

-Russ
