Personally I guess that's the question we have to pose ourselves, discuss it thoroughly and see the pros and cons of the different measures we propose. And the guiding line should be the global public interest. In any case the statu quo is foreseen to be changed, as the traditional steward is stepping back - and that's why we are striving to maintain the right balance for the new environment.

If I may ask a question about it - do you think that in building these changes, we should be trying to maintain the current balance of forces in ICANN, or trying to change them? If trying to change them, how would you see them being changed to support the public interest - that is, which group/s need more power, and which group/s less? bests, Jordan On 3 March 2015 at 22:11, <Jorge.Cancio@bakom.admin.ch<mailto:Jorge.Cancio@bakom.admin.ch>> wrote: Dear all I would just like to share a general thought with you: I wonder whether the different accountability mechanism descriptions/proposals will be presented with an assessment of their impact on the "power structures" within ICANN and on the appropriate balance between parts of the community, most conductive to serve the global public interest. Perhaps I'm missing this part as I've joined this process rather recently, but I'm not seeing this aspect covered in the templates and proposals of accountability measures Best Jorge Cancio International Relations Federal Department of the Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications DETEC Federal Office of Communications OFCOM Zukunftstrasse 44, CH 2501 Biel Tel. +41 58 460 54 58<tel:%2B41%2058%20460%2054%2058> (direct) Tel. +41 32 327 55 11<tel:%2B41%2032%20327%2055%2011> (office) Fax +41 58 460 54 66<tel:%2B41%2058%20460%2054%2066> mailto: jorge.cancio@bakom.admin.ch<mailto:jorge.cancio@bakom.admin.ch> www.bakom.admin.ch<http://www.bakom.admin.ch> _______________________________________________ Accountability-Cross-Community mailing list Accountability-Cross-Community@icann.org<mailto:Accountability-Cross-Community@icann.org> https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/accountability-cross-community -- Jordan Carter Chief Executive InternetNZ 04 495 2118 (office) | +64 21 442 649 (mob) jordan@internetnz.net.nz<mailto:jordan@internetnz.net.nz> Skype: jordancarter A better world through a better Internet
