Hi,

While the PDP was approved unanimously, we delayed the vote on the charter.

Why.

In discussing the PDP itself: it discusses the possible extension of the
UDRP and URS to support IGOs and IGNOs, but also allows for either the
creation of a new process if it would be best to leave those alone, or
for no mechanism at all.  So, as requested by the previous WG and
approved by both the last council and the Board, and now this council,
we will have a PDP on the issue of extending the UDRP and URS, but with
no obligation to do so.  And I would say that the GNSO is not of one
mind on the hoped for outcome.  NCSG is not alone in its doubts, but we
do need to tackle the subject.

I requested the delay on the charter vote, using the 'the SG needs more
discussion' reason.  I also made it clear that I had not been able to
properly explain the issue to the SG. I got no trouble for that, in fact
people from several SG supported the call for a delay.

I think we need to review the charter carefully as that is where the top
of all the slippery slopes is to be found.  We can offer amendments to
the charter if we have any.
