I’m sorry, I just do not see how this could possibly be read to preclude the African, Latin American, or Caribbean strategy. I think that there are potentially significant unintended consequences flowing from breaking the link that says the global public interest is identified through the bottom up, multistakeholder policy development process.

Alan and all,
I agree with you and prefer your first proposal, but can live with the second one assuming that « and specifically » be replaced by « mainly ».

At the meeting last night, I raised an issue related to the proposed Core Value 6. It was also raised in an e-mail several days earlier, but that did not attract any comments.
In the current Bylaws, Core Value 6 reads:
"Introducing and promoting competition in the registration of domain names where practicable and beneficial in the public interest."
The proposed version (now Core Value 5) is:
"Introducing and promoting competition in the registration of domain names where practicable and beneficial in the public interest as identified through the bottom-up, multistakeholder policy development process."
In the context of the Bylaws, the expression "policy development process" is used only in the context of the ccNSO and GNSO PDPs. The problem is that not everything that ICANN does is "policy", and certainly not developed by the GNSO and ccNSO.
An example is the Strategy for Africa that was initiated in 2012 and by all reports is having very positive results. One of ICANN's strategic goals is to improve participation from the African region. An essential part of this is to build up the DNS industry there. The African strategy was certainly developed through a bottom-up MS process, but just as certainly not through a "policy development process" as described in the ICANN Bylaws.
Under the proposed wording, part of the African Strategy could be rules out of order, and the same goes for the Latin-America & Caribbean Strategy. I have to assume that this is not the intent of the CCWG.
I would be happy to simply replace "the bottom-up, multistakeholder policy development process" by "a bottom-up, multistakeholder process".
However, for those who worry that this might be an escape hatch related to the GNSO and ccNSO PDPs, another alternative is:
"Introducing and promoting competition in the registration of domain names where practicable and beneficial in the public interest as identified through bottom-up, multistakeholder processes and specifically the policy development processes when applicable to GNSO and ccNSO policies."
But I really feel that this is to much detail for a Bylaw Core Value!
Alan
