So this is one gaping hole we need to fix in the draft proposal, which otherwise has recommended some significant improvements (like the Independent Review process and Reconsideration Request process).<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thanks,</div><div class="">Robin<br class=""><div class=""><br class=""><div class=""><div class="">On Aug 11, 2015, at 11:20 AM, Mueller, Milton L wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite" class=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; border-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-size: inherit;"><div lang="EN-US" link="#0563C1" vlink="#954F72" class=""><div class="WordSection1" style="page: WordSection1; "><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; " class="">Dr. Brenden Kuerbis of IGP has developed a very important analysis of the CCWG’s proposed voting distribution model, which we need to take into account when developing our comments.<o:p class=""></o:p></div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; " class="">Read it here:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.internetgovernance.org/2015/08/11/ccwg-community-mechanism-threatens-to-upset-icann-balance/#comment-40415" style="color: rgb(5, 99, 193); text-decoration: underline; " class="">http://www.internetgovernance.org/2015/08/11/ccwg-community-mechanism-threatens-to-upset-icann-balance/#comment-40415</a><o:p class=""></o:p></div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; " class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; " class="">Dr. Milton L.
