Re: [At-Large] IGO names: is this worth war?

I know this is a fun thread, but perhaps we should make sure that all participants know what we are talking about. It is not any prohibition on registering IGO acronyms. That was rejected long ago. It is a proposal (among others) to put some acronyms in the Trademark clearing house so that if someone tries to register one of the "protected" acronyms, the IGO is notified and can try to ensure that the string is not used to mis-represent them. The concern is that even though (in my opinion) the proposal is reasonable, there is no way to easy way to implement it given the current GNSO-Board procedures. Thomas did not threaten to have the GAC leave. He said that if governments are dissatisfied with ICANN, they may look for other options. That is a fact - WTSA Resolution 47 demonstrates it.

It took a few days for video to emerge of last week's Georgia Tech event, and when it did the audio wasn't so good. I have cleaned it up to the best of my ability and added some titles. There was a technical problem with the render earlier in the day (PC crash!) which belayed the 7pm time, and I now expect to stream this around 2am EDT = 06:00 UTC. It's a good session. Two parts - first Milton and Larry. Then the panel, with some penetrating questions from the student body. joly posted: "On Friday October 28 2016 the New America Foundation Cybersecurity Initiative presented Cyber Insecurity: Emerging Policy Tools in Cybersecurity in Washington DC. A panel explored a set of emerging policy tools with distinctly partnered public-private pro" On October 26 2016 the *Internet Governance Project <http://www.internetgovernance.org/>* at the *Georgia Institute of Technology’s School of Public Policy <http://www.spp.gatech.edu/>* presented *The Self Governing Internet – Celebrating the IANA transition and ICANN reforms <http://www.internetgovernance.org/2016/10/05/the-self-governing-internet/>* in Atlanta. Special honoree will Assistant Secretary *Lawrence Strickling*, receiving recognition for his persistent and principled commitment to putting “the global multistakeholder community” in charge of IANA and ICANN. The event also featured remarks on the long term implications of the transition by a panel of experts, including Internet Architecture Board Chair *Andrew Sullivan*, Georgia Tech professors *Milton Mueller *and *Peter Swire*, the Internet Society’s Senior Policy Advisor *Konstantinos Komaitis*, and Verisign’s Vice President for public policy and government *Keith Drazek*.
