Re: [nc-org] ORG POLICY STATEMENT (FINAL) V3.3

["Milton Mueller" <Mueller@syr.edu>]

Elisabeth:
Regretfully, I would prefer not to consider this 
contribution at this time. There was a call for comments 
on V3.2 and explicit notice that things would be 
wrapped up on Tuesday. This came in on Wednesday.

I would be happy to bend the procedure and make 
modifications if your comment addressed issues that 
had been widely discussed before. But below, you 
have raised a completely new issue. We have no idea 
how other TF members feel about this proposal. We 
cannot find out without extending discusson for 
some time. 

I'm sure it was not your intention, but I do want to point
out that it can be very disruptive to introduce 
completely new proposals at the last minute. It delays work, 
puts additional pressure on everyone involved, and risks 
reducing the quality of the work output, because we may
not be able to think about the implications properly.

If there is a groundswell of support for this comment I
will reconsider, but otherwise I intend to transmit v 3.3 
to the Names Council today, in line with the deadline
for submission of documents.

You can still submit these comments during the public 
comment period.

I am sorry I cound not comment before.
I would like to add the following:


6. Security and international custodianship

The fair distribution of gTLD Sponsoring Organizations 
and Registries Operators worldwide is essential element 
of secure and reliable Internet.
The TF specificaly asks that annual statistics being
provided under ICANN authority for both, distribution 
of domain names registered under gTLD by ICANN geographic 
region as well as geographic distribution of gTLD Sponsoring 
Organizations and Registries Operators.
Such statistics shall be included in the RFP issued for 
dot org.
