Re: [At-Large] Preparing for Lisbon: Resolutions from At-Large to the larger community?

To the extent that the effort involves purely coordination, I can help with that - chasing people for contributions etc. The development of the draft text is, I would submit, perhaps best done in the first instance by those in ALAC familiar with the issues in question, and only by the staff in the case that nobody has the time to do this work (though, perhaps, as these first drafts are just that - drafts - and completely subject to amendment, perhaps in some ways it is less important who is the first drafter... I have put a first-draft of an Agenda together for the ALAC teleconference on the ALAC Working Wiki.

Communications from the public; registrar data escrow
by Wendy Seltzer March 1, 2007

March 1, 2007

A couple questions. Is anyone monitoring <http://forum.icann.org/alac-forum/> ? We should have a way for the ordinary Internet user to get in touch with ALAC, and through us, ICANN (as if we can get in touch with ICANN), but I thought we had closed this forum due to spam. It seems still to be alive, and collecting several dozen complaints about RegisterFly, for one. Can we establish better means of getting public input??? 1.1 - Do we want to say something about ICANN's failure to demand data escrow, as the general public had thought was provided for in the RAA (3.6)? I see this as a place where even ICANN's standard "no third party beneficiary" language wouldn't save them from suit by a harmed registrant. --Wendy -- Wendy Seltzer -- wendy(a)seltzer.org Visiting Assistant Professor of Law, Brooklyn Law School Fellow, Berkman Center for Internet & Society http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/seltzer.html http://www.chillingeffects.org/
