Hi Robin, Thanks for comments! Here are mine in return: 1. This was in relation to GAC principles and statements on the matter, where meeting comments questioned their importance for any final verdict. I think that "unclear" captures that, in a shorthand way. 2. Point taken, although please keep in mind that the notes are not exhaustive/minutes. Very best regards Olof From: owner-council@gnso.icann.org [mailto:owner-council@gnso.icann.org] On Behalf Of Robin Gross Sent: Sunday, May 04, 2008 9:34 AM To: Olof Nordling Cc: council@gnso.icann.org Subject: Re: [council] Notes from Council/staff meeting on new gTLDs Hi Olof, Thanks for these notes. There were 2 points in the draft that I had concerns with. 1. Under the "Country, territory and place names" section it says: "It is unclear whether GAC views should trump other views ..." I don't remember hearing anyone at the meeting say GAC views should trump the views of other stake-holders. I don't think anyone suggested that ICANN should no longer be led by the private sector and that anyone stakeholder should be able to trump other stake-holders. Who suggested this at the LA mtg? 2. Also under the "Country, territory and place names" section, a point that I made in LA is missing from these notes. I stated that it was inappropriate to use the Paris Convention to justify not permitting tlds with country names in them since the Paris Convention regulates commercial speech ONLY - not ALL speech. So I think this point, which was made in the LA mtg, should be included in the notes. Thanks.
