Vote Subject:  WG-A
-------------------------------------------------
In relation with Article VI-B 2. d of ICANN Bylaws I consider that


[ ] WG-A has produced a set of recommendations that 
    shall be forwarded to the Board of Directors 
    as a community consensus recommendation

[ ] WG-A has produced a set of recommendations that 
    shall NOT be forwarded to the Board of Directors 
    as community consensus recommendations

[X] WG-A has produced a set of recommendations, among 
    which only the following shall be forwarded 
    as community consensus recommendations:

        [X] 1. Recommendation 2
        [X] 2. Recommendation 3
        [X] 3. Recommendation 4
        [X] 4. Recommendation 5
        [ ] 5


To be specific on what I am *not* voting for:

- Community consensus does not exist for Recommendation 1, which recommends
that the UDRP be put in place as soon as possible after the ICANN Board
meeting in Santiago, Chile, and that *all* Registrars should be required to
adopt the UDRP recommended by WIPO; I am not voting to forward the
recommendations of item 1 to the ICANN Board as having community consensus
support.

- Community consensus does not exist for the language in the three
paragraphs in the CONCLUSION, which recommends that the overall time frame
for implementation of the UDRP should not be delayed, and community
consensus does not exist for the recommendation that WIPO be asked to
extend its UDRP process on a voluntary basis to other disputes as early as
possible in 2000, and community consensus does not exist for the
recommendation that WIPO be requested to continue the work begun during the
IAHC process. I am not voting that the items in the conclusion be forwarded
to the ICANN board as having community consensus support.
