For Stephanie’s and our own sakes, we need to be extremely accurate. So, as Stephanie says, 80% of the report may indeed represent a consensus. I think we need to be focusing very narrowly on why the hell they refused to publish her dissent. That’s just ham-handed nasty stuff. They won’t be able to defend it, though they may be able to defend their specific positions.

probably "occupy" the 2 public sessions for EWG i.e. attending them , ask the hard questions and debunk the myth of having consensus.
privacy issue was suggested by Marilia as 1 of the topics for the meeting with Board too,
we also should comment the report itself in due time.

Hi
p. 6 "This Final Report, including its recommendations and proposed principles for the next- generation RDS, reflects a consensus.”
p. 164 "With the delivery of this Final Report and its 180 consensus-supported principles, the Board’s vision has indeed materialized.”
p. 165 "Among the EWG members were seasoned entrepreneurs and global leaders (Ajayi, Ala- Pietilä, Neylon, Rasmussen, and Shah). Their collective expertise in balancing risks and their results-oriented problem solving style paved the way to reaching an early consensus among the EWG.”
This characterization doesn’t seem to quite fit with Stephanie’s excellent and (astonishingly) suppressed Dissenting Report…
How shall we proceed in London?

Subject: Expert Working Group on gTLD Directory Services (EWG) Final Report
Dear All:
The Expert Working Group on gTLD Directory Services (EWG) has issued their Final Report<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/final-report-06jun14-en.pdf>. Given your group's interest in this topic, I wanted to bring this to your attention, along with the public sessions the EWG has scheduled at the ICANN London meeting:
* An introduction to the Final Report: EWG Overview of Final Report<http://london50.icann.org/en/schedule/mon-ewg-final-overview>, Monday, 23 June, 1515 – 1615
* Two cross-community discussion sessions:
* EWG Final Report Discussion Session<http://london50.icann.org/en/schedule/mon-ewg-final-discussion>, Monday, 23 June, 1700 - 1900
* EWG Final Report Discussion Session<http://london50.icann.org/en/schedule/wed-ewg-final-discussion>, Wednesday, 25 June, 0800 – 1000
The Final Report fulfills the ICANN Board's directive to help redefine the purpose and provision of gTLD registration data, and provides a foundation to help the ICANN community (through the GNSO) create a new global policy for gTLD directory services. This report represents the culmination of an intense 15 month period of work during which this diverse group of volunteers<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/gtld-directory-services-2013-02-14-en> created an alternative to today's WHOIS to better serve the global Internet community -- a next-generation Registration Directory Service (RDS).
The EWG looks forward to discussing this with the ICANN community. Thank you for sharing this notice broadly.
Regards,
Denise
