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

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.
Best,
Robin
