Paul, .AU resolves whether Chris is on the Board, whether the ccNSO Council meets whether the GAC achieves Consensus on something, or whether ALAC spills the Board. In other words, the only ICANN issue of DIRECT concern to a ccTLD Manager is a hostile redelegation, everything else is "interesting" only. I have never advocated disengagement by the way, ICANN must just leave those ccTLD Managers alone who want it, especially those who registered the ccTLD(s) before ICANN, in particular those before RFC 1591. If you call that advocating for independence, sure. Protocols and Addresses advocate too, don't they? el On 2015-10-09 10:13, Paul Szyndler wrote:
Eberhard,
I appreciate the distinction you make.
But surely there must be at least one conceivable scenario where the interests of a ccTLD manager could be affected by the current proposals. Is there not a limit to the disengagement and independence you advocate?
I respectfully acknowledge that you may respond in the affirmative, but feel that the potentially seismic changes we are currently deliberating are likely to be of interest and consequence to anyone that can even spell "DNS".
Regards,
Paul
