Re: [wg-review] 11. IDNH Centers of Interest

[Rod Dixon <rodd@cyberspaces.org>]

Chris,

I am away from my computer. If you are able to, you may post my comment to
the list. 

I voted for "IDNH" thinking it referred to a DN constituency of only
individuals (I thought "IDNO" was used to refer to a DN constituency of
both individuals and organizations). As you can see, I read a lot into
that poll question, if I got it wrong. I agree with you that voting for a
specific
organization is premature, and, perhaps, inappropriate for the WG. I do
not think the WG ought to go on record supporting specific organizations
who are seeking constituency status in the DNSO. I think the poll question
should be removed, if that is its purpose. And, I say this even though I
am a member of the Cyberspace Association. I think it is important that
this WG maintain its neutrality on that issue. If we propose the rules, we
should not propose the decision.

All but one voted for one or the other, but that still effectively makes it appear split. Was this your idea or someone else's?

Just because we are also examining what the membership requirements are does not mean we are divided on topic and goals. Why would you think splitting the two would achieve anyone's goals?

It is my impression that we are not pushing a particular group, just trying to gain a constituency for Individual Domain Name Holders. Holders for this purpose was a better description than Owners since Domain Names are not currently assessed as property.
