RE: [wg-c] Straw Vote

["Cohen, Tod" <Tod_Cohen@mpaa.org>]

Marilyn and Rita have spoken eloquently and I agree with their views on
Option 1 with the preconditions.  It is important that we move forward with
the basic underlying policies in place as opposed to the rush to new
registrars.

		I vote for option 1 - with the ever present caveat that no
action should be taken to add gTLDs until the following have been put into
place: (1) a universal, reliable and searchable database of contact
information for all domain name registrants; (2) a workable uniform dispute
resolution procedure; and (3) a famous name policy.
