Members, Thanks for all the work that has gone into drafting and reviewing this response. One key responsibility of ICANN is not mentioned in the document, and that is administration of the UDRP. The UDRP is now in its 15th year. ICANN has largely abdicated its responsibility to oversee the implementation of the UDRP, leaving an ever increasing number of UDR providers to develop their own separate approaches. As the UDRP determines the limits of a registrant's rights to its its domains, and how those rights can be cancelled, a uniform, predictable UDRP is fundamental to maintaining a secure and stable 'identifier ecosystem'. The first Focus Area Goal would be an appropriate location to reference the UDRP: *Foster and coordinate a secure, stable and resilient identifier ecosystem, including the stable, secure, trusted operation of the DNS. * The Outcome of this focus would be "to Improve the uniformity and consistency of implementation of the UDRP across UDR providers and to eliminate bias". For the measurement criteria, I would propose conducting an outside, expert audit/white paper reviewing the implementation of the UDRP and then making specific policy changes based on the findings of the audit/white paper review.

Members,
Thanks Aparna for making updates to the document.
I am fine to accept the changes and in particular for the sections that I authored. I would ask that Tim Cheng, Andrew Mack and Martin Sutton also advise of their respective sections.
David, I am not aware of any existing BC position on the issue or scope of Public interest. Your suggestion that we recognize that public interest issues within the context of ICANN's mandate are within its purview, seems a reasonable approach.
If Aparna can restore the public interest points within this, and post back to the list, it would be a step forward.
We need to submit the final version on the 31st January.
Many thanks for contributing.

All--
Please see some suggested edits from Google on the attached document. While there is some amount of reorganizing, I believe our suggested edits preserve the points made in the original document while making some improvements for flow and clarity. I have also suggested deviation from ICANN's proposed submission form where adhering to it obscured the content of our comments.
Cheers,
Aparna

I will draft something for ICANN mission/lingage to I-GOV. I wanted to hear from CCWG and 1NET first, and that happened this week.
I also moved this to bc-private just temporarily.
David, Aparna, Philip, and I were on CCWG and David, Aparna, and others from business COMMUNITY, were on relevant calls last week. I will send a short assessment over week end.
If members want public access to our discussions, we can move back to public list, but I didn't want to do that, without full consideration from BC members.

Attached is the current draft BC comment on ICANN's Vision, Mission & Focus for 5-year Strategic Plan, which came out of last summer's "brainstorming" by board, community and staff. (link<http://www.icann.org/en/about/planning/strategic-engagement/focus-areas-29oc...> )
Tim Chen and Chris Chaplow led drafting of the BC comment, with help from Martin Sutton, Marilyn Cade, and Andrew Mack.
Comments close 31-Jan, so today begins our 14-day review period.
We need draft comments for Focus Area V: Defining role clarity for ICANN in the Internet governance ecosystem.
Yesterday I shared my views about ICANN limiting its mission and avoiding entanglements in the broader I-Gov debate. If no BC members contribute text for Area V, then I can draft something next week.
Please REPLY ALL with edits (TRACK CHANGES)as soon as possible, since the comment deadline is 31-Jan-2014.
Thanks again to Tim and Chris for taking the lead on this.
