I have noticed some
rather interesting differences between version 2.0 and version 2.0a of the
DNSO Review Report:
Version 2.0 states,
“The draft DNSO Review Report prepared by the Task Force will be discussed at
the January 24th Names Council conference call. Any revisions resulting from
discussion will be incorporated, and the revised draft will be posted to the
DNSO for public comment. Comments
from the Review Working Group, individuals, constituencies, and interested
parties are welcome. Comments
resulting from the comment period will be incorporated into the draft
forwarded to the ICANN Board.”
Version 2.0a states,
“The draft DNSO Review Report prepared by the Task Force was discussed at the
January 24th Names Council conference call. Names Council comments were
incorporated into this draft, which is now posted for DNSO public
comment. Following DNSO public
comment, the DNSO Review Report will be forwarded to the ICANN Board for its
review and public comment period.”
Is this current
Public Comment period a sham?
Will public comments be incorporated into the draft forwarded to the
ICANN Board, or has the decision of a solitary “editor” nullified this
process?
