Re: [ga] Request for a Clarifying Vote


Wait on the voting for a minute...

Bret Fausett's put together a simple and I think very acceptable "Case
for (Only Mild) Reform".

Do we, the GA, agree with Bret's proposals? If not, why not? (And in
that case what modifications do you propose?)

Rather than voting on anything right now I suggest we see if the GA can
come up with improvements to Bret's proposals. Once that simple task's
done... we can vote them up or down.

See

Trustworthy Global Election

Mild) Reform

Most contentious issue for me is 6 vs. 9 for At Large representation.
Spent a lot of time on this with NAIS (*I am now speaking for myself*)
thinking about this and trying to defend 9, but now, I could accept 6.
Particularly if the ccTLDs (as represented in Bret's model) were to
ensure a fair voice for end users.

At Large of 6, plus a Canadian CIRA-like system would be work for to me.

Thanks,

Adam

See NAIS and ALSC reports :-)
