[wg-c] consensus call results

[Jonathan Weinberg <weinberg@mail.msen.com>]

	It seems to me that we got rough consensus on items one and two.

	On item one, the vote tally was 50 YES, 18 NO.  The NO voters included
both persons urging that the initial rollout should include *only*
open gTLDs (such as Crocker, Broomfield, McCarthy, Teernstra, Wesson,
Dalgleish), and persons skeptical of open gTLDs (such as Sheppard, Gymer,
Schwimmer).

	On item two, the vote tally was 46 YES, 21 NO, 1 ABSTAIN.  The most common
objection among the NO voters was that the principles (while well-meant)
were not useful or meaningful, and were too vague and subjective to serve
as technical requirements.

	Item three came nowhere near achieving rough consensus.  (The final tally
was 19 YES, 33 NO, 17 ABSTAIN.)  The most common criticism was that the
technical specifications for internationalized domain names, now under
consideration by an IETF working group, are still undeveloped, so any
action to charter a DNSO working group would be premature.

	Vote tallies follow.
