Yes Drazek,

I do recall it and I think that the clarity and precision are necessary since the definition of the private sector is well known in the multi-stakeholder system at the global level (World Summit on Information Society, IGF, etc.) to be the business sector. The stakeholders are Governments, Private sector (business sector), Civil Society and International Organizations.

It is important to precise that the multi-stakeholder model includes all the stakeholders including private sector and governments. The condition of the NTIA was that it shouldn’t be government led, and I think we are all in agreement on that.

I recall we had a lengthy discussion on the term "private sector" during our chartering process for the CCWG. It is not meant to exclude users or governments from participation. In this context, it is used to clarify that the management of assigned names and numbers is "not a governmental function."

Regards,

Keith

I have a real problem with this.

There is no doubt that the private sector has been a major and influential component since its inception, but it is similarly true that governments and users (albeit in varying models) have been an integral component of ICANN. Our roles may be different, but our roots go as deep, and the import of the public interest in ICANN cannot and should not be swept under the carpet.
