So this means that the opinion of the AdCom and the
opinion of ALA, ACM, CPSR, Peacenet Korea is more
important than the opinion of SDNP/Panama, APC, SV-PAL
and many other members that remains in silence?

Milton...I will set the things straight.  Have you
ever realized that the proposed resolution is
impartial
regarding any model to be adopted by .ORG??
Please, read it again...for the records.

http://www.ncdnhc.org/docs/resolution/LosAngeles/LA-resolution-4.html

The resolution proposal I made in MdR talked about
procedures...not about any position and even finalized
with "or whatever the members of the NCDNHC
concludes".    Because I have a high respect for what
members decides for me to reflect in the Names
Council.
But online vote should took place more than one month
ago within NCDNHC, and nothing of this has done.  In
fact, still Montevideo resolutions hasn't voted online
neither!!! And we have resolutions stablishing time
frames regarding online voting for aprooval of the
NCDNHC after each face to face meeting.

Look...if a new Draft is being done, such new draft
should go, in first place for public comments.  The
new draft differs a lot from the old one.  And such
draft
doesn't deserve public comments?

Also such draft deserve the proper consideration of
the constituency members, to see if the things they
supported are in compliance with the new draft.  And
if neceseary to produce new comments to the new draft
or if necesary to produce a new document properly
consulted to the constituency members and even voted.

I didn't lost any policy battles because I didn't
proposed any resolution stating any policy issue.  I
just proposed a procedure
to vote about .ORG draft and preeliminary comments
done by some members of the NCDNHC.

You take advantage of the ignorance and/or lack of
time to discuss issues that people is expecting to be
voted in order to impose your own positions, followed
by some
other 3 or 4 fellow members that supports your points
of view with also time to follow NCDNHC discussions.

You are abusing Milton. You are misinforming to the
Names Council regarding my proposals of resolutions
which are purely procedural and not policy.

Yes...you should apologize...because you are
misinforming and attacking me. 

In which moment I perfomed any attack against you
inside the Names Council?  Never.  I just was
defending the right of a constituency member to point
out what he considers inconsistencies and instead of
yoiu answer properly or even propose a review our
procedues, etc, you attack me in the public list of
Names Council.


Also...just for clarify a mistypo. I said in my
previous e-mail:
"In my opinion, the views of 28 members, and now that
 has passing a lot of time, shows consensus amongst
184
 members."

I wanted to mean:  In my opinion, the views of 28
members, and now that has passed a lot of time,
doesn't shows consensus amongst 184 members"

Best Regards
Vany
