RE: [registrars] Proposed Ballots

["Tim Ruiz" <tim@godaddy.com>]

Ross,

I think the motion is fairly open ended on implementation. It wouldn't
even require port 43 to remain in the mix. It is simply about
restricting access, in some manner, to those who need to know.

If it were up to me, I would prefer to see our constituency seek
proposals from the membership regarding how port 43 could best be dealt
with. Tiered access/restricted access is one way that the problem can be
addressed. This may not be the best way to deal with the concerns that
have been raised. I would be hesitant to endorse a position that solely
considered this course of action as the proposal.
