RE: [registrars] Montreal meeting

["Rob Hall" <rob@momentous.com>]

Ross,

With all due respect, the entire GNSO policy is directed at dealing with
gTLD's (not ccTLD's).

Are you suggesting that you would never have an opinion on a new Registry
product ?  That the GNSO should never be involved ?  That WLS for example
does not concern you because it is a product and not "policy" ?

However, I do concur that you should be able to leave the room if you are
not interested.   I am ameanable to booking them during a break or in such a
way that you can bail if you want.  I would just want to see gTLD's given
priority over ccTLD's and that we should accomidate them if possible.

Rob.

My responsibility is GNSO policy - not gTLD products. There are numerous
others in our constituency in the same position. At the very least, we
should segregate the agenda in such a way that those that want to
participate can and those that don't can bail.
