-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Jordan, sorry for being late, but somehow I left this on the netbook :-)-O as much as I would want the FoI to become ICANN policy, and binding ICANN (or rather the IANA Function Manager) in its behavior regarding each and all ccTLD Managers (whether ccNSO Members or not), the other way round is not true. Would you expect me to speak for or act on behalf of .NZ in a binding way just because the A and Z are close together on the keyboard? I understand Member Organization as to be able to do that. And I can not go along with that. This does not even address the question whether the USG has any claim to the root, and the numerous consequences originating from this. And I am not sure why you would not have discussed the FoI at length with Keith Davidson? In particular with regards to a PDP. I have always been in favor of a PDP, he wasn't, and quite adamantly. el On 2015-04-21 20:35 , Jordan Carter wrote:

Roelof, Jordan,
the ccNSO is a supporting organization of ICANN and deals only with very specific issues through a Policy Development Process. Nothing more, nothing less. AND, these Policies are only binding on ccNSO members, during their membership to ccNSO, ie if someone left, no ccNSO policy would concern.
Let me ask this then --- if the FOI was to be converted to a global policy dealing with its subject matter, would that not happen through a ccNSO PDP?
Whatever the process, that PDP or something else, would it not be the framework that guided ICANN's action for ccTLDs regardless of their membership of the ccNSO?
That's what I meant by the word. Not a framework that decided how ccTLDs operate. None of us would welcome that, I don't think!
It is totally different from a membership organization we are discussing here.
We are talking about membership (or designator) powers exercised over ICANN to keep ICANN accountable to the Internet community, including to us.
Not talking about using a membership concept as a trojan horse to impose obligations on the ICANN community or its participants....
cheers Jordan
I also totally disagree that we are allowed to set a framework for ccTLDs. In the ISTACC call we discussed this last week.
Just for the record, I may have been involved with this even since before Chris, and changing landscape doesn't mean anything with regards to the rights of a ccTLD Manager. ICANN's powers, if any, do not grow on trees.
greetings, el

I have to disagree. In the situation that the conscious decision of a ccTLD manager NOT to be a member is the sole reason for that manager not being a member
Best,
Roelof

Dear Co-Chairs,
could you please explain to the gentleman from the IPC that it is NOT possible for ccTLD Managers, whether they are members of the ccNSO or not to become a "member organization" (as we are discussing here).
Unless EACH and EVERY ccTLD Manager formally joins such organization such organization will not have any standing. At all.
This is clearly not accurate. If this argument had any legs, then the same could be said of the ccNSO.
ccTLD managers participate in ICANN through the ccNSO and would do through a community mechanism that involved membership in order to deal with ICANN and global policies, such as they are - not to manage the bilateral relationships Eberbard mentions below.
On Chris's broader point, he has been involved with the ccNSO since before it was formed and I have not. I do not understand the aversion he alleges in respect of memberships. I know things are pretty different in 2015 to what they were in 1998.
I think our job is to set up a clear and coherent framework for ccTLDs along with the rest of the community to consider, and our job too is to explain clearly what such a model (including any options) would ACTUALLY as opposed to on a FUD basis, offer to and require of members/designators or classes of members/designators -- including any issues with associations etc.
If ccTLD managers chose as a group to not participate in a scheme that was workable, and thereby prevented meaningful accountability reforms in ICANN, then they would be putting the IANA stewardship transition at risk.
I don't think they'd to that lightly. But I do think that however unlikely, the fact this could happen ( due to our non-contracted status, in the end we ccs have the choice) does mean that the doctrine of organisational and institutional conservatism is very important.
Which is why I am glad to see Chris's questions assigned to the counsel, and why I look forward to their response.
cheers Jordan [...] _______________________________________________ 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
