apology
by Mike O'Connor March 12, 2014

March 12, 2014

hi all, i filled out the Pew Research Center poll about “the Internet in 2025” on a day when i was in a bad mood. i’m *sure* i said that the opinions expressed were my own, but that was stupid — i should have completed the form as an individual, not as your representative to the Council. the upshot is a bad misrepresentation — my view appearing to be yours. i’ll try to send a correction, but the damage is done. i’m learning a lot of valuable lessons in this new role you’ve elected me to. unfortunately at your cost. i would be happy to resign if you think it appropriate. i’m really sorry about this. here’s a link to the article (NPR is National Public Radio in the US — "all tech considered” stories are generally broadcast on Monday evenings on NPR’s national radio news program). http://www.npr.org/blogs/alltechconsidered/2014/03/11/288695332/the-interne… and here’s the quote: The downside? Group-think, mob mentality and manipulation. "The Internet will be used as the most effective force of mind control the planet has ever seen, leaving the Madison Avenue revolution as a piddling, small thing by comparison," says Mikey O'Connor, an elected representative to ICANN's GNSO Council, representing the ISP and Connectivity Provider Constituency. sorry, mikey PHONE: 651-647-6109, FAX: 866-280-2356, WEB: www.haven2.com, HANDLE: OConnorStP (ID for Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.)

translation and transliteration of contact information
by Mike O'Connor March 7, 2014

March 7, 2014

hi all, i’m responding to Wolf-Ulrich’s request for thoughts on this topic — mostly by starting this thread on our list. i have to admit i’m pretty clueless about this issue so view these comments as the ravings of the Village Idiot, Wolf-Ulrich it seems to me that maybe a way to carve a middle ground is for registry/registrars to provide the *opportunity* for registrants to enter *their own* translated/transliterated information in a non-latin script if they so choose. it seems that might address both the problem of accuracy (which seems really hard if it’s done by machine) and cost (since the burden of data entry and accuracy would remain with the registrant and all the R’s would have to do is provide data-collection and display mechanisms — essentially extending Whois data to cover optional scripts). i think the notion of having the Ry/Rr doing the translating/transliterating is going to be really hard for them to do accurately, and that the cost of that effort would be prohibitive. the question of *requiring* the registrant to enter information into a non-Latin script is interesting/complicated, especially if they’re not familiar with the language/script. it seems this project is dependent on the outcome of the EWG and the subsequent PDP to a certain extent. how can this PDP really make solid recommendations without knowing what the capabilities of the underlying registrant data system will be? it seems as though this effort will be hampered by that. it seems as though this project will also run into “universal acceptance” type problems until the transition from current Whois to The Next Thing is complete — so an aggressive implementation schedule seems complicated see? ravings of an idiot. but maybe that’s enough to get conversation started. does that help, Wolf-Ulrich? mikey PHONE: 651-647-6109, FAX: 866-280-2356, WEB: www.haven2.com, HANDLE: OConnorStP (ID for Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.)
