Re: [ga] Motion asking for GA poll on rebid of ICANN contract

["James Love" <james.love@cptech.org>]

Thomas, I am asking for a vote, a poll of whatever you want to call it.
And if you are not going to permit such a vote, just say so.  I think we all
know what this is about, and people can vote however they like.  It will
have zero legal effect, but it will be informative.  It will give the GA
members a voice.   I don't care what your personal views are on the merits
of the proposal I would like voted on. You can vote for or against it.  But
I would like a vote.  If you have all of the authority to allow this or not
allow it, then make whatever decision you like.  I was disappointed that
earlier you did not allow a vote on the non-confidence in the board motion.
What votes have you ever allowed?

Jamie
