[wg-review] Decision D2

["Babybows.com" <webmaster@babybows.com>]

Dear Y.J. Park,
     I refer you to your own post
http://www.dnso.org/wgroups/wg-review/Arc02/msg00098.html (Review Process
Background and Charter Discussion) wherein the lifetime of the Review WG is
shown to extend to June:  "Stockholm:  Submission to NC as WG's position
under assumption that it can find consensus".
     I, for one, intend to abide by the terms delineated by this Charter,
and do not accept the rogue position adopted by the Names Council:
"Decision D2:  proposed by Ph. Sheppard, Seconded Th. Swinehart:  It was
agreed that Th. Swinehart with Y.J.Park and the NC Chair would draft a
communication to the WG to confirm the present timetable and that WG Review
input NOT received by the DNSO by Feb 11 would form a part of the ICANN
public comment period and that would complete the work of the WG Review."
     An effort by the Names Council to revoke the Charter of a Working
Group, to stifle discussion, and to effectively deny a Working Group the
opportunity to present its full and complete findings to the Board in
accordance with a predetermined schedule is not to be tolerated.
     This despicable action violates the very By-Laws of ICANN that state,
"The Corporation and its subordinate entities shall operate to the maximum
extent feasible in an open and transparent manner and consistent with
procedures designed to ensure fairness."  Where is the fairness in denying
this Working Group the opportunity to fulfill its mandate?  What is open and
transparent about a Names Council meeting to terminate the life of the
Review WG that does not even include the Chair of the Review WG in such
discussions?  Where is the responsibility of the Names Council "for ensuring
that all responsible views have been heard and considered"?  Are these only
empty words?
     The Names Council through this decision has proven itself to be an
abomination.  I ask all members of this Review WG to write directly to the
members of the Board to express their outrage.
