ICANN Generic Top-Level Domains (gTLD) Oversight Hearing
Colleagues, The House Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Intellectual Property, Competition and the Internet will hold a hearing on: "ICANN Generic Top-Level Domains (gTLD) Oversight Hearing", on Wednesday 5/4/2011 - 10:00 a.m., at 2141 Rayburn House Office Building. There is, as yet, no hearing documentation and no witness list, though these will be forthcoming. http://judiciary.house.gov/hearings/hear_05022011.html I'll post a follow-up when either hearings documentation or witnesses are posted at the Subcommittee's web site. Eric
Many thanks for this heads-up, Eric. It would be useful if a few community members could be there. Hmmm, the Chair is from the 6th District of Virginia, round Shenandoah Valley way. Never heard of him before now so don't even have a sense of his politics. And a Quayle as Vice Chair...go figure. Waters-CA, Sanchez-CA, Conyers-MI, Nadler-NY and Jackson Lee-TX are old line Democrat liberals. Issa and Pence are the only Republicans that I recognize. Issa is from Southern California and made lots of money in the new economy so he might be more ofay with the topic than most. Pence comes across as a sensible conservative, from someplace in the Midwest. Used to be way up in the leadership too.

Thanks for posting this. Seems a rather one sided set of witnesses. I guess they know what opinion they want to hear. Except for Kurt of course, in the role of sacrificial lamb. a. On 2 May 2011, at 14:45, Eric Brunner-Williams wrote:

For most hearings *anyone* can submit a statement. (A concise and short statement will usually have more impact. I know from my own experience that these things are sometimes read and even sometimes have effect.) The period to submit such statements often extends past the date for oral testimony. So if anyone has something to say - check the committee/subcommittee website and perhaps the door is still open. --karl--
Many thanks.
From this list, seems like there's a hymnal to sing from, no?

Hi Antony, I've read your article and I'm wondering, wouldn't it have been appropriate for the US GAC representative to be also on the list? Regards Cintra On Tue, May 3, 2011 at 3:57 PM, Carlton Samuels <carlton.samuels@gmail.com>wrote:

Hi Cintra, Unfortunately I don't think panelists are invited according to how appropriate they are. In politics, everything is, well, politics. The purpose of the meeting is really to wring additional concessions for intellectual property interests, engineered I would wager by the powerful and numerous lobbyists employed by large corporations in Washington DC. I think the last thing the house members want (especially the Republicans), is to be given the Obama administration's view on things, which might not agree with the predetermined outcome of the hearing.

It probably helps the US Economy to encourage the Intellectual property interests? On Wed, May 4, 2011 at 9:12 AM, Antony Van Couvering <avc@avc.vc> wrote:
