[PC-NCSG] [Ec-ncuc] URGENT! Comments on defensive registrations of domain names- DEADLINE TODAY

Mon Feb 27 22:30:39 EET 2012

My understanding is that these comments were posted for consideration and review this morning with a tight turnaround time of today.  I unfortunately do not have today to make a fully reasoned and articulate argument.

On the NPOC conference call on February 14th, many of our members still feel like that the new gTLD program will cause a rise in the need of defensive registrations; other members feel that the new gTLD program has been co-opted by numerous special interest groups.  This is why NPOC is not making a statement itself as we would be unable to come up with a single response that addresses the various viewpoints.  To this end, NPOC does not wish to endorse or have the appearance of endorsing any other comments made.

According to the NCSG Charter, decisions of the NCSG-PC are made by rough consensus of the NCSG-PC Members.  So if there are individual members of the NCSG-PC who have disagreements with the statement, they should express what their concerns are, so there is an opportunity to hear and consider all views before the PC makes its decision.  So please explain rationales for positions so we can move forward with the decision making process as laid out in our process.  Thanks.

Best,
Robin

NCSG Charter:  2.5.2. NCSG?PC Decision making

  *   By default NCSG?PC decisions are made by rough consensus of full NCSG?PC members. Rough consensus means that while all members do not need to agree and that no single member can veto a decision, all views must be heard and considered. Any minority views must be recorded along with the rough consensus position.

The NPOC respects the opinion of the NCUC and the comments drafted by Konstantinos, however requests that they not be endorsed as a NCSG statement.

Dear all,

Thanks for your feedback. Given the lateness in time here , I have submitted the comments on behalf of NCUC, having a unanimous vote from the NCUC EC.

Should the NCSG PC decide to endorse these comments, I suggest someone sends an email endorsing them - this will be sufficient.

Many thanks for those who have responded.

Best

KK

KK,

Thank you for drafting these comments, which I support being sent on behalf of the NCUC.  I would also encourage that they be sent on behalf of the NCSG-PC.

Dear all,

The deadline for the public comment period of the defensive registrations of domain names is today. I have drafted a short comment on it - unfortunately, I don't have any time to devote on this.

The comments are drafted as NCUC ones and I am asking the NCUC EC to review them and inform me whether they can be send on behalf of the whole constituency (there is simply no time for this to get on the list).

I am cc'ing here also the NCSG PC to see whether this can acquire rough consensus so the comments can be send on behalf of NCSG instead.

Please send me any comments/amendments or just your OK as soon as possible as the deadline is today. In any case and if you don't agree with these I will amend and send them on my personal capacity.

Thanks

KK
