i am with you mr.crocker
and i dont see what IS OR SHOULD BE SO SECRET wich makes the poc MUST
discuss this in closed fora ?
what is so secret on internet domain name system wich hase to be hidden
from public ?
now we use this arguments by mr.helfant-or just "search" for other
arguments "why we should not open up the process" and using all the time
on discussing again and again the same matter
some of us have offered arguments why the list and the pab work should not
be open and where "against" and some of us have offered arguments why a
benefit for opening the process and the list may ocure
as i notice the "majority" was in favour of opening the list and with this
the pab working process to the public
is the anyway to reach a "rough consensus" on this matter and proceed with
further work
mr.chairman would you pelase be so kind to offer some structured
forthcomming in this matter as you have officialy made this reqeust to
pab
thank you very much
sascha
ps.we can discuss this isue further but i see there is also some other
work wich waits for pab see the
-"reorganisation" of pab to "meet the needs" of poc and internet
community and in this way-i see the "openes" of pab work a part of it
-pab charter
-the future gtld developments recomendations and visions
etc
lot of serious and dificult work
