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
