All,
 
Based on the presentation we got from Chris Disspain in Singapore, the Board is trying to figure out how to abide by the contradictory Council policy (passed unanimously) and GAC advice (s growing presence in the life of ICANN) on the matter.  I feel their pain, but worry/assume in the current Internet governance-fueled environment, if a collaborative solution is not found, the GAC will prevail.
 
Not compromise or capitulation, but collaboration. 
 
Cheers,
 
Berard

Thanks James & Maria,

 

Noted.  We have a lengthy slot on Saturday to discuss substantial issues as well as our session with the Board.

 

I expect that this issue can be well aired then and it is also likely to be on our agenda for the public GNSO Council meeting on Wednesday.

 

Jonathan

This indeed very concerning - a further extension of supra-legal 'rights' using the TMCH, itself a deeply problematic mechanism created in inequitable circumstances.

I also hope that sufficient time will be allocated at our meeting to discuss this issue.

Hi James,

 

We'll get the letter posted on the GNSO correspondence page. Please note that in the meantime it is also available from the Council mailing list archives (http://gnso.icann.org/mailing-lists/archives/council/pdfJhQNX8whn3.pdf). 

 

Best regards,

 

Marika

Jonathan and fellow Councilors:

 

This is a concerning development, and I hope we will have ample space on our agenda to discuss in London.  Question:  Will this letter be published on the GNSO/ICANN correspondence page in advance of the weekend sessions?

 

Thanks—

 

J.
