Hi Paul,

Hi Anne, thank you for your question and welcome to the GNSO,

 

The idea is not to preclude anyone from doing anything, but to promote disclosure for transparency’s sake.

In your example, as ICANN does not concern itself with content censorship (bar the agreed types of DNS Abuse), work on the topic in other forums should have no impact on ICANN’s work. I would not warrant any sort of disclosure.

On the contrary on a topic that is more core to ICANN, like the processing of personal data, I would want to encourage that transparency. This is not to say that one can’t be in disagreement with the consensus and voice it in the community or outside, as long as it is done acknowledging and respecting the existing consensus; but I think that should one actively pursuing competing policy efforts elsewhere, it should be acknowledged.

 

This said, I do understand that acting as counsel, one is not always either representing the same interest or able to disclose who they represent, and I respect it – I believe separate work on the SOI is attempting to clarify this aspect.

 

I hope this helps,

Kindly

Thanks Seb.

 

Inbound NomCom appointed Councilor, Anne Aikman-Scalese, raised concerns about the vagueness of the following phrase “Acknowledging participation to similar efforts outside of the ICANN Community.”  What do we think this means?  I think it means that while we should support consensus where it landed within ICANN, that doesn’t mean that we can’t press on the same subject in other forum.  For example, if the current consensus that ICANN is not to be in the content censorship business holds, that does not preclude a Councilor from complaining to the FTC that someone is using content to defraud end users.  Is that what everyone else thinks this phrase means?  If not, maybe we can have some alternative theories on the list or in the document.

 

Best,

Paul

Hello Nathalie, Marie and Paul,

 

Thank you for volunteering to assist with the “GNSO Council Member Commitments” last week.
The Google Doc we put up following ICANN 74 is still accessible here:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rmft4PPLzFB0rE9IWEi86eMZYrlgDaXT/edit

 

I’ll let you take a first stab at it for a week until 6 September COB.
Depending on the level of rewrite then, we might organise a call to sort it out or do it via email.

 

All other Councillors are of course invited to participate, the document is open.

 

Kindly,
