Unfortunately, we are at deadline. The ICANN Board expects a charter from
NCDNHC, and in January we recommitted to giving them one by today. At some
point, the discussion ends to be considered at the next charter revision. I
remember in the creation of the initial charter, we had some areas where full
agreement was not reached. We put the majority position in the charter, and
made a note at the end of the charter that the issue was controversial and
needed to be revisited at the next charter revision.
We must move forward to elections! Otherwise, we will not have
representatives in Cairo, and our Constituency will be hurt in the important
discussions now before the Names Council. Let's work together to move
forward and build the constituency together

Your point #3 is a new idea that was introduced midstream as well. What does
it mean for NC members to vote as the Adcom desires. What if the Adcom is
divided? What if the Adcom does not have a position? What if the Adcom has
not met?
This is an issue which Nii introduced recently anew to the discussion -- and
while it is important to discuss -- it is not a part of the charter revisions
on which we voted.
