Todays's EC Hearing on Internet Governance
by Wolf Ludwig May 6, 2009

May 6, 2009

The European Commission is hosting a hearing on 6 May / today on future Internet Governance arrangements – see: http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/policy/internet_gov/index_en.htm Prior to this, EC Commissioner Viviane Reding published a message transcript, available at http://ec.europa.eu/commission_barroso/reding/video/text/message_20090504.p… On Monday, there was an article in the Computerworld “EU urges U.S. to share control of ICANN with other countries” saying that the European commissioner called today for a new multilateral approach to Internet governance once the current system expires at the end of September. In a video blog posted on her website Viviane Reding, according to Computerworld, also suggested setting up an independent judicial body as well as an intergovernmental body, possibly based on the G12 forum of governments from around the world, to oversee ICANN in future. For more details: http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&art… I can follow Mrs. Reding in some assessments like the “...global nature of the Internet to pave the way in September for a new, more accountable, more transparent, more democratic and more multilateral form of Internet governance". But I don’t agree with her suggestions and outlined solutions of “a successor body of the same name that is fully privatized” and at the same time “an intergovernmental body, possibly based on the G12 forum of governments from around the world, to oversee ICANN in future”. To me, it’s again the old power and control perspective and I don’t see how Mrs. Reding’s construct would be “more accountable, more transparent, more democratic” than the present US-based system, except perhaps “more multilateral”. If governments and heads of states take over (G12 forum), it will be the end of open multi-stakeholder foras like IGF, EuroDIG and any participation from civil society actors. Mrs. Reding’s “informal group of government representatives” is purely governmental like the old telecom regime. I can imagine, the ITU will be pleased about her idea. These are just some of my thoughts.

Fwd: [ALAC-Internal] Fwd: Re: [GTLD-WG] URGENT- ALAC statement on IRTP report
by Patrick Vande Walle May 4, 2009

May 4, 2009

Good morning to all. I am moving this discussion to the general Euralo list in the hope to fuel discussion and/or agreement. Some context: I was tasked by the ALAC to draft a preliminary statement on the IRTP report http://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/#irtpdr The deadline for submitting comments to the IRTP drafting group is 6 May at 00:00 UTC Given that the procedures inside the ALAC may actually make it difficult to agree on the comments before the deadline, the Euralo chair suggested to the Euralo board that the Euralo should submit the draft comments on its own behalf. Up to now, the draft has received quite some support from Euralo board members. https://st.icann.org/gnso-liaison/index.cgi?draft_statements_related_to_irt… Please note that this *preliminary* statement may always be revised later. However, we should keep in mind that it will set the overall direction of our comments. Hence, if you disagree on the fundamentals of this draft, please say so now.
