RE: [council] Regarding topics for open discussion amongst SOs and ACs
Thanks Avri. I know that new gTLD issues weigh heavy on everyones' minds and these issues will no doubt continue to be the focus of much of what goes on in Seoul. But accountability is also a long term issue that a significant portion of the community clearly feels has not been resolved. We need to begin getting organized across the ACSO structure to address it.

I have not brought the accountability topic back to the ACSO chairs yet. Will bring info back after out meeting later tonight (UTC).
Will the introduction of new gTLDs provide potential benefits to consumers that will outweigh any potential harm?
Which could also be phrased as a more general question:
What are the remaining impediments to finalising the new gTLD application process and what can be done to resolve them?
Or a little more broadly still
What are the remaining impediments to finalising the new gTLD and IDN Fast Track processes and what can be done to resolve these issues?

I agree with Tim that there are already a lot of opportunities to discuss new gTLDs elsewhere, and that we may want to focus on other topics here. Stéphane Le 03/09/09 17:49, « Tim Ruiz » <tim@godaddy.com> a écrit :

For the reasons already given by Bill and Tim, I too support accountability as an important issue that needs to be discussed across the ACSO community, preferably sooner rather than later. FWIW I also think that Bruce's earlier point about what "accountability" might mean - both in the ICANN context and in the minds of different stakeholders/groups/constituencies/participants - is a valid and important one to discuss openly as well.
