Roberto, Many thanks for your clarifications - it helps so much to understand how difficult it was. The Affirmation of Commitment by DOC and ICANN has been published on ICANN's website on time, the Internet is twitting, newspapers giving first comments. 9.1 Ensuring accountability, transparency and the interests of global Internet users ... the Chair of the GAC, the Chair of the Board of ICANN, the Assistant Secretary for Communications and Information of the DOC, representatives of the relevant ICANN Advisory Committees and Supporting Organizations and independent experts 9.2 Preserving security, stability and resiliency: ... the Chair of the GAC, the CEO of ICANN, representatives of the relevant Advisory Committees and Supporting Organizations, and independent experts 9.3 Promoting competition, consumer trust, and consumer choice ... the Chair of the GAC, the CEO of ICANN, representatives of the relevant Advisory Committees and Supporting Organizations, and independent experts http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-30sep09-en.htm#resolution Kind regards, Elisabeth Porteneuve ----- Original Message ----- From: "Roberto Gaetano" <roberto@icann.org> To: "'At-Large Worldwide'" <at-large@atlarge-lists.icann.org> Sent: Wednesday, September 30, 2009 11:19 AM Subject: Re: [At-Large] Replacement for the JPA ? There is a Board meeting at 11:00 UTC today (2009-09-30). Hell will break loose at 14:00 UTC, when the communiqué is going to be released and the press conference will take place. This will be 10:00 EDT, as the event will take place in Washington, DC. As for whether "She" [uppercase in the original text ;>)] was right or not, as an international civil servant I would decline to comment. But you might compare the text of the press release with the proposals made in the last months, including the G-12, and draw your own conclusions. One thing is undeniable: if ICANN has to move towards more internationalization, as there seem to be consensus on, we need more collaboration among different stakeholders, including governments worldwide. So, right or wrong on one specific issue is, in the long run, not the main thing. What is important is that Europe (as all other countries and regions worldwide) engages in this internationalization process. Which, in my personal reading of the events, is indeed happening. Last but not least, I believe that ALAC has a role of the paramount importance in this internationalization process, as it has roots in the local communities. From my point of view, it would be a positive thing if ALAC analyses this document, when it will be public, and take a position on it, keeping in mind that the issue is not just a political statement, but active engagement in the territory to make ICANN more international in the facts, not only in the intentions. Cheers, Roberto

I am not sure that it is "just speculation"... And yes it is a way to say that She was right.

But that article is just speculation, and a rehash of Viviane Reding's video from May.
