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

Tue Feb 28 01:10:47 EET 2012

Dear Amber,

Thanks for making a statement to indicate that NPOC has looked at the issue of new gtlds.

Where can we find on the web a transcript or recording of the NPOC calls so the community can learn what the specific views expressed were and can begin to address them?

NCSG posts transcripts & .mp3 recordings of all the Policy & EC calls here:
    https://community.icann.org/display/gnsononcomstake/Meetings

Where do we look for NPOC's information?

Thank you,
Robin

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.

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.

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.
