Bzzzt, wrong procedure. As I said earlier, please get a reasonable
motion onto the table first. Then show support. Then vote. You're
still at step 1.
At this time, there's no need for a poll on the question if the GA
should vote.
Entering broken record mode once again: Propose a motion. Put it on
the table for _discussion_ (you know, that thing with listening to
others, changing the proposal, trying to find consensus,
respectfully dealing with others' opinions - all that stuff you
folks claim to have been fighting for in the ICANN process).
Ideally, that discussion will already show that there is reasonable
interest in having a vote on the motion which ultimately evolves.
If needed, one may also ask for a short show of hands in order to
estimate interest in the motion _after_ it's on the table, i.e.,
after it has been discussed. In the end, vote.
James's current attitude - namely, that the only private opinion
which should matter on this GA is his, and that his motion should be
put to vote without cumbersome discussions for that reason - is not
compatible with this process.
James is free to follow the process I have outlined several times
now. In that case, we may end up with a vote - the discussion will
show.
Alternatively, James may continue to operate according to his
current attitude. In that case, he won't get a vote any time soon,
but he'll surely continue to waste his, my, and everyone else's
time.
To make this crystal clear, these are the options available:
- follow process
- shut up
- continue with the present waste of time and ressources
- impeach me
Options 1 and 4 are the only ones which may lead to a vote.
Continuing with the present waste of time and ressources is the
worst of all these options.
Have a nice week-end,
