Folks let me say this: 1. Milton, you were not supposed to publish it! I needed to edt it to reflect the new status of it being a minority report, and also no mention of JF Baril 2. We need to be sure I am correct. IF they are right and i have misread the report, then I look like an idiot. 3. Most of the report is still concensus. AS I think I said in the 3 pager, recently, certain principles put everything slightly out of balance.... Sheesh. Can they bann me from ICANN? ON a positive note, I must say your blog is well read Milton, I got a sweet note from Mikey. I guess he knows what I feel like right now... cheers steph On 2014-06-08, 3:48 AM, Rafik Dammak wrote: > > 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. > > Rafik > > 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).
