PAB Content vs. Process

Folks,

Has anyone noticed that quite a bit of time has passed during which the PAB
has yet to conduct any meaningful discussion about the CONTENT of the
proposal that David Maher submitted for POC composition?

Process is important but it is not the goal. The PAB is spending all of
its time debating matters of process and essentially none on content. This
is not helpful for the utility or credibility of this group.

I would strongly suggest that the group instead consider the merits of the
proposal.

   Is it fair and reasonable?

   Is it likely to accomplish its goals? (By the way, is everyone clear
what those goals are?)

   Is it acceptably simple to understand and administer?

   How does it compare to other proposals, such as the one that Robert
Shearing <http://www.gtld-mou.org/notice-97-01/0009.html>?

etc.
