This is really excellent KT if you could pick this up and liaise with Eric. You can also get Staff to assist with either setting up a webinar or a call to perhaps tease out the issues. If you would like assistance or support from the ALAC in this area, let us know. I agree with Rinalia's suggestions and think this would be awesome for you and others who may be interested in APRALO to pick up.

Hi Rinala et all,

This is a positive step forward with so many Indigenous Peoples being effected whom have no voice.

Eric Brunner-Williams from NARLO is a leader in this area who was also prominently featured in the research. I am certainly keen to initiate and contribute for APRALO and do what ever else I can to assist.

Cheers,

Karaitiana Taiuru

Hi, KT.

The unrecognized/under-recognized IP of special groups including those of indigenous communities was one of the 4 initial issue areas that I identified for the APRALO Multistakeholder Policy Roundtable in Beijing - we did not have sufficient capacity to deal with the issue then.

I am really glad that you are bringing this issue up now and it would be fantastic if the region mobilizes and takes the leadership on it. But we need a driver for the issue and I am hoping that you would be willing to take the lead (eg, initiating consultations, drafting statements if applicable or contributing relevant sections in statements drafted by others in the ALAC and in APRALO, etc). I would be happy to discuss a strategy for mobilization on this with you if you would find it useful.

And yes, I agree that IP and IP related to IDNs are angles that the region can pursue the issue.

Best regards,

Rinalia

Thanks Holly,

The link may spilt in email, so a copy and paste of the end part. I will try it on a new line though. http://www.law.asu.edu/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=67fmPnuMWEY%3d <http://www.law.asu.edu/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=67fmPnuMWEY%3d&tabid=803> &tabid=803

A recorded history of the development of the Internet is a major issue in many countries, because as you say, it is in peoples heads and personal emails.

I am hoping there is enough interest within the RALO's to re investigate some of these issues raised here, of Indigenous Peoples Intellectual Property and sovereign nations. I suspect the IP could fit in well or alongside the IP of IDN's?

Hi KT - and others

First - the link to the actual research doesn't work. Could you check it please?

But the background does make Yan's research look very interesting. And what she is saying is so true for this area. For much of the Internet, including ICANN, the knowledge is not in libraries (including online libraries) or in journals It is on websites, it is in the heads of the people who are involved - which makes it both more challenging and interesting.

Greetings,

As representative groups of Internet users, and as many of us are discussing how best to represent our communities; you may be interested in this students award winning research on ICANN, GTLD's and Indigenous Domain Names, Intellectual Property etc., all of which impact all regions in the world. Perhaps some of the concerns can be raised again in ALAC?
