Re: [wg-review] DNSO Study

[Eric Dierker <ERIC@HI-TEK.COM>]

Danny,

you have once again written in a most calm, well researched and persuasive
manner.  What you are proposing is taking all of the hard bottoms up work and
having the top redo it before even submitting it.  You want to kill it, that is
how to do it.  You want to hurt ICANN further this is how to do it.

The powers to be, DoC and all USG are looking for bottoms up transparency in
keeping with the white papers, not top down appointed boards meeting in private.

How could all those people you mention do a better job of what we did in
reflecting internetstakeholders desires.

I reread your post yet another time, you clearly are talking about all of you
guys meeting and changing our report before it gets submitted.

Absolutely NOT.  Of course the decision should be up for a consensus discussion,
with our wonderful chair leading us we will do the right thing.

Sincerely
