This result clearly shows that a majority of those who publicly responded to the poll, feel that an extension IS necessary.  It will be interesting to see what 
the decision of the NC will be on this question.    

As for the issues at hand, I agree with the motion to quit discussion of an ICANN dissolution and to focus on more practical suggestions and 
recommendations regarding the "Consensus Building" scope of this WG.

It seems to me that one of the major points of discontent among many At Large Members is the out of hand, matter-of-fact, conflation of trademarks and 
domains.  This issue requires discussion and input from ALL stakeholders. WIPO prerogatives and status within the DNSO and NC must be addressed.  I 
put forward a motion to ratify such a discussion within the scope of the current Working Group on "Consensus Building".  Who stands for and against?

Inclusion of Domain/Trademark issues in current WG?
YES[  X ]
NO  [     ]
