["Kevin J. Connolly" <CONNOLLK@rspab.com>]

Subject to the reservation that I believe that coercive voting 
is not a substitute for the development of consensus, and that
in fact no such consensus has come to exist.....

PROPOSED ROUGH CONSENSUS ITEM NUMBER ONE	

	The initial rollout should include a range of top level domains, from open
TLDs to restricted TLDs with more limited scope.

I object to the form of the item but believe that there should 
be both open and chartered TLDs in the rollout provided 
registry operators and registrars present themselves for them.


PROPOSED ROUGH CONSENSUS ITEM NUMBER TWO

	Criteria for assessing a gTLD application, subject to current technical
constraints and evolving technical opportunities, should be based on all of
the following principles :
...No....

PROPOSED ROUGH CONSENSUS ITEM NUMBER THREE

	WG-C recommends that the Names Council charter a working group to develop
policy regarding internationalized domain names using non-ASCII characters.
...No....if we're going to enlarge the set of characters that the DNS can resolve,
there's no good reason not to do it here.
