Hi, I have put this on the list of topic for our next agenda. It might be worth having some preliminary discussions on list. References: - ALAC letter: <http://gnso.icann.org/mailing-lists/archives/council/msg04857.html
- Discussion under 11 Other business: <http://www.icann.org/minutes/prelim-report-27mar08.htm
Board's Disposition: "The Chair determined that emergency action is not required today but the matter will be referred to the GNSO for additional information or policy development if necessary, but not an emergency action."
My first questions: - Do we want/need to request an issues report? - Do we want to request advice from SSAC on the degree to which this is a threat to Stability and Security as stated in the ALAC letter. SAC22 of Oct 07 <http://www.icann.org/committees/security/sac022.pdf> spoke of it as being possibly contrary to core values but I do not read their report as calling it a threat. Though the report does seem to indicate that further investigation of issues surrounding the practice could be investigated further. thanks a.
