Hi Everyone Sorry about the anonymous bit. And sorry for the mix up - but glad that - belatedly - there is something people can comment on that will be an ALAC position. And please do comment. What I did was a bit of a rush job - just to get something in place as a starting position. What is there is largely the notes I made after a very long discussion Carlton, Evan, Garth, Rinalia and I had rather late in the Durban meeting. I'm not sure I will have time to do further work (I am supposed to be on holidays) so any help - that includes Garth - will be really welcome. And I am sorry to have missed the ALAC call. I was on the road, travelling to stay with very old friends. And a question to everyone. A lot of the discussion on the list does involve GNSO policy processes. Both Alan and I are on the GNSO WG on Policy and Implementation - in which some of the issues being raised on the list could be raised in the WG. Rinalia's statement is a perfect example of that. So please - any ideas on GNSO policy ought to be aired. The Charter of that WG (I chaired the drafting team for the charter) is wide enough so that many of the issues raised on this list could be raised in discussion in that WG.

My apologies to Holly.....she was on the job within hours of our last communique and I didn't update myself. ============================== Carlton A Samuels Mobile: 876-818-1799 Strategy, Planning, Governance, Assessment border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> Hello all, I don't understand both of your enquiries/concerns. Holly has already put a first draft on the WIKI. https://community.icann.org/x/Xz5-Ag [1] Kind regards, Olivier On 27/08/2013 20:04, Carlton Samuels wrote: Hi Rinalia: Yes, I had already indicated on the Ex-Com call I would recuse myself from active involvement in the response but would be willing to provide background, as necessary, to the person holding the pen. We said then that per the interactions on the list, it looks like Holly will lead. Since then I've had communication with her and advised that Alan might be a good collaborator, seeing he's voiced something akin to having 'significant' concerns. She mentioned she'd be on vacation for a few days, hence I think the delayed response. -Carlton ============================== Carlton A Samuels Mobile: 876-818-1799 [2] Strategy, Planning, Governance, Assessment border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> Hi, Holly and Carlton. At the ALAC meeting on 27 August, the following action item was flagged: At-Large Large Regulatory Issues * Carlton Samuels [3] is to ensure that the Regulatory Issues Working Group that will prepare a response to the Expert Working Group that addresses the promise of its development but also places it in context of the current status of WHOIS. Garth raised the issue that it would be a conflict of interest for Carlton to do this. So the question is who would pick up the ball. Holly might be in a good position to do so and Garth has also volunteered to help. I am passing the message.
