Re: [ga] Straw Poll on Working Group

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@ix.netcom.com>]

Rick and all assembly members,

  Although your suggestion of after-the-fact WG or god forbid
Task Force for dealing with Delete is obviously in good faith
Rick, I think it is clear that the DNSO GA would prefer a WG,
first of all, and a WG for Delete that would come up with it's own
proposal that represents a broad range of stakeholders, including
Registrars, Registries, and most importantly Registrants. And the
GA members want it now, not later

  I would prefer that such a Delete WG be one that is in line with
the practice and procedure of the DNSO GA and requested
by the GA Chair, to the NC and secretariat.  However the voice
of the WG poll of this thread seems to be leaning in the direction
of such a WG that is determined BY the GA members.

  I also noticed Rick, that you have not voted in the Poll (See
below)...  Perhaps if you wish your position to be known
in an official way, you should consider doing so?
