Re: [wg-b] Sunrise paper

["Philip Sheppard" <philip.sheppard@aim.be>]

Michael is right when he explains the time line for the WG B report.

The latest version of the sunrise proposal is indeed an adaptation of
earlier proposals that got a very good airing in Cairo and since. It is
right that WG B should be the conduit to pass this to the NC NOW (with
appropriate riders as to its genesis and status within WG B). To officially
keep the NC in the dark seems a bit daft.

It is moreover a concrete proposal of the sort the WG B should be working
towards.
It is great for the NC or the ICANN Board to be made aware of the global
diversity of opinion but that does not exactly help in doing anything.

It would seem to be a very useful task now for WG B to debate the paper
fully and produce a opinion on the sunrise paper BEFORE the Japan meeting.
