[Rt4-whois] Proposed Voting Agreement for Whois RT

[Yakushev Mikhail]

Colleagues,

In all working groups where I've ever participated the members were supposed to work/discuss/decide/vote in person. My understanding is that the RT has been formed of the selection of experts, and any of their 'alternate persons' cannot be treated as such. So if a participant of the RT is unable to participate in the meetings/conferences/calls etc., no 'alternate' can really _replace_ him/her.

Since Cartagena is expected to be mostly an _informal_ gathering (considering London January year as the first _formal_ meeting), I think there is no problem to accept the presence of anyone who would somehow 'inform' the participant (who is absent) afterwards, provided that the Team is notified about this fact beforehand, and no one has objections.

Apart from the above - I do support Lynn's initial proposals.

Regards,
Michael

You are correct. There was a question about this issue but not acceptance.

Ack.
