[ga] Straw Poll

[Jefsey Morfin <jefsey@wanadoo.fr>]

my straw poll position is statu quo

rationale is:

-  handling of the relations by the Staff is in violation of the bylaws and 
Internet spirit
-  the reached consensus is only between iCANN and VeriSign Staffs, hardly 
a large community
-  the future of .org has been drafted as part of Plan B where it does not 
belong
-  $ 5 millions are allocated to the iCANN through a future OrgNIC probably 
managed by the Staff but not controlled by the Board
-  $ 200 millions of R&D are involved in the deal. I want to have 
information on the planned targets. If they include - as there are reasons 
to suppose - DNS security "enhancements" and multinational domain naming in 
a way enforcing a defacto TLD monopoly, I am opposed to such an effort.
-  I am favoring a non-profit cooperative management of the TLDs in order 
to allow them to get a real meaning. In such a scheme Registrars are mostly 
cooperative and oriented towards matters specific to the TLD Charter and 
Registries are dedicated to the Registration sevrice and value added. 
Statu-quo does not forbid this vision. Plan B does.
-  it appears now that Plan B is part of the gTLD plan, at least its 
doctrine. I oppose that plan and favor  the conception presented by the BoD 
at the GAC MDR meeting of one million TLDs.
-  I have several other reasons based upon a personnal evaluation of the 
internal relations within the "governance". I consider such an evaluation 
as serious enough to mention it but not yet verified enough to use it in 
documenting a position.
