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." --MM > -----Original Message----- > From: NCSG-NCUC [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf > Of Avri Doria > Sent: Thursday, August 12, 2010 12:20 PM > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: Re: [NCSG-NCUC-DISCUSS] Endorsing American Red Cross' Comments > on VI Initial Report > > Hi, > > I believe the Policy-committee could make the decision to endorse if > they had a consensus, especially if no one on the public lists has > objections. > > I am fine with being a signatory to your third option. > > a. > > > On 12 Aug 2010, at 12:11, Mary Wong wrote: > > > I echo Avri's thanks, Debbie, and agree that NCSG should discuss > whether it can support and endorse the comments submitted by the Red > Cross. > > > > Speaking personally, I would be happy to. > > > > In view of the fact that today is the last day, I guess the group's > options are: > > - Endorse in full (if sufficient members can agree) as an SG > > - Endorse in part as an SG > > - Endorsement (either in full or in part) by a group of members > (starting with Avri, me and whoever else wants to sign on) identifying > ourselves as NCSG members (or as non-commercial interests) > > - No endorsement of any kind > > > > It may be that the third option would be the quickest and easiest. > > > > Cheers > > Mary > > > > Mary W S Wong > > Professor of Law & Chair, Graduate IP Programs > > Franklin Pierce Law Center > > Two White Street > > Concord, NH 03301 > > USA > > Email: [log in to unmask] > > Phone: 1-603-513-5143 > > Webpage: http://www.piercelaw.edu/marywong/index.php > > Selected writings available on the Social Science Research Network > (SSRN) at: http://ssrn.com/author=437584 > > > > > > >>> > > From: Avri Doria <[log in to unmask]> > > To: <[log in to unmask]> > > Date: 8/12/2010 11:23 AM > > Subject: Re: American Red Cross' Comments on Initial Report on > Vertical Integration Between Registrars and Registries > > On 12 Aug 2010, at 09:39, Debra Hughes wrote: > > > > > <American Red Cross Comments to VI Report - 08122010.pdf> > > > > > > Hi, > > > > Thanks for writing and sending this.
