Bill, You are raising an interesting point. There are two parts in a registry: the policy manager and the operator. My view is that the operator belongs to the registry constituency, while the policy manager belongs to whatever constituency or group it would naturally fit. However, this is not the current approach of ICANN, therefore we could have such conflicts. You do remember the discussions about the GNSO review. In that circumstance I tried to explain my concept of stakeholder group as a system where we could expand participation and widen the points of view and contributions. I made the example of a company where the legal department could contribute to the IP constituency, the research department to a possible technical research constituency, the marketing department to the business constituency, and so on, enriching the global contribution to the ICANN policy making process. If this approach is taken, there will be no problem in accepting the application. Otherwise, we need to have the opinion of the General Counsel about the potential conflict of interest.

Association Dot. HIV 173 / Germany Hi This is a good initiative. But I can't help wondering---are we really going to start including TLD operators in At Large? We all know the established lines are going to be challenged and at times blurred in the new gTLD age and what this may mean for GNSO, CCNSO, etc. But isn't suppliers in the users box a step to far, like putting commercial orgs into noncomm bodies... Are they not applying to the Registry Constituency? Bill On Dec 18, 2012, at 22:02, Wolf Ludwig <wolf.ludwig@comunica-ch.net> wrote:
