Disagree - Re: [wg-review] Outreach 6

[Derek Conant - DNSGA <dconant@dnsga.org>]

I must respectfully disagree with your point of view and opinion.

My belief and understanding of due process is that you cannot expect the RTF or anyone
to take anything this WG does seriously without WG representatives willing to be
identified and counted. This is necessary in the interim of the development of any
successful organization.

Try convincing my board to go a certain direction without representation or a majority
to stand behind their proposal. Without representation and accountability in due
process, a board is free to decide whatever it chooses using ambiguity in the proposal
as its excuse.

I believe that the RTF is going to do what it wants regardless of any GA or WG input at
this point.  I believe that this WG is significantly unorganized, wasting time and
energy, and that the RTF will ignore GA and WG recommendations that do not serve RTF
preconceived agenda.  If the GA and its WGs were better organized It would be difficult
for the RTF to ignore GA and WG proposals.

Due process is the process we are working with here whether you want to admit it or
not.  Polling has no teeth in due process and that's reality.  Proposals with
representatives willing to be be identified and counted have significantly more weight
in due process and is difficult for opposition to ignore.  That is what is so
interesting about the due process animal if you can understand what I am saying here.

So, I work within the real world here and I have proposed how you get the job done in
this due process arena.  I believe I have made my point, however, I have more productive
things to do with my time.  I am not going to disrupt this WG with further comments
regarding the subject matter.

I hope that I have done more good here through my comments than anything else.
