Bill,
Thanks for that information / input. A couple of points to add:
1. Some form of listserv does seem to make sense. The following list has been recently mentioned in GNSO Council discussion on the topic: https://nro.net/mailman/listinfo/i-coordination Would this be the one to use or is another required?
I would personally advise a dedicated list for discussions and deliberations amongst the ICANN community. I’ve been on the i-coordination list since halfway through the BA meeting. My impression is that they are really struggling to focus on a constructive agreement. I was hoping for a discussion focused on defining the process leading up to Brazil and the debate revolving around representation. Instead, they seem to be all over the place. Unfortunately not very goal-oriented. Those are my thoughts…, as naive as they might be.
2. The Registries SG mailing list had some discussion about a possible 3rd coordinator with more of a commercial / business background. This was not specifically suggested to be someone with a registries / contracted parties link.
This sounds like a good idea to me. [SNIP] Thanks. Amr [
