Congratulations to NCSG for putting two very important motions on the agenda today for next week's GNSO Council Meeting in Beijing. Maria Farrell proposed a motion before the GNSO Council to ask the board to reconsider staff's decision to adopt the controversial provisions of the staff's "strawman solution" outside of proper process: http://gnso.icann.org/mailing-lists/archives/council/msg14407.html A GNSO Councilor from the Registrar Stakeholder Group seconded Maria's motion. Also, Wendy Seltzer proposed a motion to council that would permit the registrars to continue to extend existing rights and obligations to registrants until the GNSO adopts a consensus supporting the changes that ICANN is unilaterally trying to impose on registrars (and Internet users). http://gnso.icann.org/mailing-lists/archives/council/msg14409.html Excellent work, ladies! The Beijing GNSO Council Meeting should be very interesting. :-) Thank you, Robin IP JUSTICE Robin Gross, Executive Director 1192 Haight Street, San Francisco, CA 94117 USA p: +1-415-553-6261 f: +1-415-462-6451 w: http://www.ipjustice.org e: [log in to unmask]
