[PC-NCSG] DIDP

[Edward Morris]

Hi Robin,

Thanks for waiting for the DIDP denial. I think your idea regarding the
Ombudsman is a good place to go with this as his remit focuses on fairness
and that is a big part of what is involved here. If TM50 is any indication
the Ombudsman will never issue an opinion but it's always nice to pretend
he will. :)

I hope everyone notices I filed the DIDP as a GNSO Counsellor rather than
asking for NCSG endorsement. I did this to bolster my case in the
reconsideration that will follow the DIDP denial. My contention is that I
need these documents to do my job as a Councillor. My Council position is
specifically mentioned in the ICANN bylaws so, I shall argue, denial of the
DIDP effectively is a Bylaws violation. In making that claim I will argue
my belief that the entire Westlake report should be discarded due to faulty
methodology. In that way we will get our principle argument before some
members of the Board (the BGC) in a roundabout way.

Of course, perhaps they give me the documents I've asked for. There is
always a first for everything.

Best,

Ed
