RE: [wg-review] 11. IDNH Vote now - all those against

["Joanna Lane" <jo-uk@rcn.com>]

Dear members,
I agree with David's comments below, but surely somebody will counteract and
thus we are all blocked.
The fundamental issue is whether or not individuals need representation in
DNSO.
If we believe that it is, the bottom line is that we have to demonstrate
some progress is being made towards that end, whatever that may be, however
imperfect that may be, as fulfilling one of the duties of this WG.
I call upon members to set aside semantics and definitions for a moment and
to consider using the privileged position in which we find ourselves here to
effect change by using action, not words. The polling booth question
relating to this issue was unfortunately divisive, but I don't think it
would do any harm to take a "snapshot" using this email list to determine
all those in favor and against the general idea at this moment in time for
the record.

The phrase "along the lines of" can be useful when the essence of a creative
idea needs to be conveyed whilst implying further development will be
required to determine the exact form. It's use seems appropriate in the
context of this issue.

This is the second of two versions of this email I am sending to the list
and ask you please to reply to one of these by putting an X in the box. Both
pose the same question. If you want to vote yes, do not reply to this email.

QUESTION: "Do you support representation for individuals in DNSO along the
lines of a new "constituency " ?

NO [         ]


Thank you for your time,
Regards,
Joanna Lane

For the record I prefer the term holder to owner also (and am a member
of IDNO).  Domain Names are not sold by registries because if they
were that would imply registries owned the names in the first place
before selling them.
