LISTSERV - NCSG-DISCUSS Archives

Excellent point, Rafik. I suspect there are times when it is difficult for many of us to respond to emails and requests within 48 hours! I would have preferred to get the comment prepared sooner, but I was lucky to finish by this morning.

Hello,

first thanks to Debbie for her comments and keeping doing that, we should undoubtedly follow her example :)

honestly, I am becoming uncomfortable that we have every time to deal with one-day-before-deadline-written comments and then being pushed in policy committee to make quick decision, I understand that people who volunteer to draft comment are really busy with their professional duties. in order to allow our members to react, one week before deadline sounds suitable and fair (anyway I am not blaming anybody about that, mea culpa as I didn't make my homework of comments too).

I agree with third option . I understand that Milton's explanatory part is appropriate for first option?

Regards

Rafik

The only problem with a "full" endorsement by NCSG is that it might imply that Debbie's comments address the_only_ issues we care about as NCSG. There are a broad range of other issues her comments don't address.

We might solve this by attaching to our endorsement the following proviso:

"The NSCG is deeply concerned about a number of issues raised by the VI WG. Lacking the time to develop a more complete statement touching on all those issues, we fully support the comments of the American Red Cross on the issue of exceptions for Single-Registrant, Single-User TLD applications, and their comments regarding criteria for an exceptions procedure."
