RE: [ga] Re: Last minute changes to Verisign agreements

["Peter de Blanc" <pdeblanc@usvi.net>]

to all-

at the names council meeting a few days ago, i suggested that, in business,
"everything is negotiable". based on inputs from our constituencies, we
proposed some changes that most of us could accept in order to give a
"go-ahead" for "option B". Yes, this is "option C"

It is my (personal) feeling that verisign would rather have some DNSO
support behind any board decision to go with option B in the face of all the
comments supporting "status quo" or option A.

Now, of course, we have another last-minute change that does not allow for
any DNSO input before the board's vote.

I certainly hope there is a 30 day "cooling off" period before any decision.

For all of us.

They are partially in response to the Names Council resolution and the
changes
do provide better benefits to the Internet community.  Whether enough to
make
the entire revised package better than the status quo is not something I
want
to rush to judgement on and neither should the Board IMO.

Many of us did not bother suggesting improvements because it was said in no
uncertain terms none at all would be considered.  If stakeholders had known
the "non negotiable" agreements were negotiable then quite a different set
of
feedback may have been provided.

There is now no opportunity for the Names Council or any constituency to
give
meaningful input to the Board as to whether this latest set of changes
partially or wholely meets their concerns.
