Here are my suggested edits; feel free to adopt or not. FYI, I spoke briefly with Vint, and we plan to speak again, but he is thinking through possibly addressing the areas of contention with some kind of caveat. He is still hopeful that it should be adopted but has softened his position from yesterday.

ISPCP Statement on Adoption of the Current Strategic Plan -- FOR COMMENT
by Mark McFadden July 12, 2005

July 12, 2005

The ISPCP Constituency urges the ICANN Board not to ratify, adopt, or approve the current Strateigc Plan in its current form. The current Strategic Plan simply does not have the consensus of the ICANN Community. Ratifying the Strategic Plan would confer an stamp of authority on the plan that is inappropriate. It would also codify strategic goals which do not have the consensus buy-in of the ICANN community. Instead, the ISPCP community thinks the current Strategic Plan should remain as a guide and historically significant document for ICANN's work until a Strategic Plan emerges from the revised planning process underway this week. Some have suggested that the current Strategic Plan is needed as a defense against organizations who might be inclined to suggest that ICANN has no plan or vision for the future. We do not agree. ICANN has an operational plan that takes us through the next year that defines, very clearly, short-term goals for the organization. In addition, an open and participative planning process is currently beging developed for the next planning cycle. The ISPCP constituency remains committed to the strategic planning process and many of our members have participated in this week's group planning process. However, adopting the current version of the Strategic Plan would be a significant retreat from the basic principle of consensus development of policy and plans for our organization. We urge all members of the board to not formally adopt or ratify the current Strategic Plan. -- Mark McFadden Internet and Security Programs University of Wisconsin Milwaukee School of Continuing Education 161 W.

How are they chosen? When will they launch? What do they mean for individual Internet users? Can we expect more? ICANN's Board has designated .JOBS and .TRAVEL as new sponsored top level domains (sTLDs), and five more applications are pending: .MOBI, .XXX, .CAT, .POST, .ASIA, .MAIL, .TEL-Pulver, and .TEL-Telnic. How will they benefit the world's individual Internet users? What are their deployment plans, including initially-reserved names and registration of personal names?

ICANN's Board designated seven new gTLDs in 2000: .AERO, .BIZ, .COOP, .INFO, .MUSEUM, .NAME, and .PRO.

Us Government on Internet governance
by Mark McFadden July 1, 2005

July 1, 2005

These were the remarks of a US Department of Commerce offical yesterday on the state of the root servers and IANA. The statement was made at the Wireless Communications Association (WCA) on June 30, 2005, by Commerce Assistant Secretary Michael Gallagher. <quote> U.S. Principles on the Internet's Domain Name and Addressing System The United States Government intends to preserve the security and stability of the Internet's Domain Name and Addressing System (DNS). Given the Internet's importance to the world's economy, it is essential that the underlying DNS of the Internet remain stable and secure. As such, the United States is committed to taking no action that would have the potential to adversely impact the effective and efficient operation of the DNS and will therefore maintain its historic role in authorizing changes or modifications to the authoritative root zone file. Governments have legitimate interest in the management of their country code top level domains (ccTLD). The United States recognizes that governments have legitimate public policy and sovereignty concerns with respect to the management of their ccTLD. As such, the United States is committed to working with the international community to address these concerns, bearing in mind the fundamental need to ensure stability and security of the Internet's DNS. ICANN is the appropriate technical manager of the Internet DNS. The United States continues to support the ongoing work of ICANN as the technical manager of the DNS and related technical operations and recognizes the progress it has made to date. The United States will continue to provide oversight so that ICANN maintains its focus and meets its core technical mission. Dialogue related to Internet governance should continue in relevant multiple fora. Given the breadth of topics potentially encompassed under the rubric of Internet governance there is no one venue to appropriately address the subject in its entirety. While the United States recognizes that the current Internet system is working, we encourage an ongoing dialogue with all stakeholders around the world in the various fora as a way to facilitate discussion and to advance our shared interest in the ongoing robustness and dynamism of the Internet. In these fora, the United States will continue to support market-based approaches and private sector leadership in Internet development broadly. </quote> Mark Mark McFadden Secretariat - Internet Service Provider and Connectivity Provider Constituency gNSO - ICANN mcf(a)uwm.edu
