CONCERNS ...Re: [registrars] Deletes Task Force Motion

[Ken Stubbs <kstubbs@digitel.net>]

i have some concerns here folks ...

they are related EXCLUSIVELY to the process here and
have no bearing whatsoever to either the motion or the subject content..

it is already after 6pm in Europe & the middle of the nite in the far east
and already we are talking about
instituting a vote on a motion from the constituancy with ONLY 3 BUSINESS
DAYS days available for
interaction &  consultation in many parts of the world..

i would EARNESTLY  hope that in crafting the new by-laws a "methodology" be
included for insuring a proper time period for adequate
"consultation & discussion" process surrounding motions placed before the
constituancy..

this is, in my opinion, the only real way to insure adequate participation
by the full constituancy and the ensuing "legitimacy"
which would attach to the results
