Dear ISPCP colleagues
Attached is the latest draft of the document on GNSO restructuring that
has been prepared by members of the ISPCP, BC and IPC. In addition it
Thanks, Tony. This Masa Maruyama with JPNIC. Here is my comment. I basically support the idea of balancing three groups. In this message I would like to suggest an improvement relating to the description for our group "Commercial interest group". As I am not a native English speaker, I am not sure this label "Commercial interest group" might sound, but my concern is that this naming might cause a confusion that incentive for members in this group to participate in GNSO activities is to seak commercial gain. The reality is that, for members in the "Contract parity, domain name registration is their business and their GNSO activities are directly connected to their commercial gain while our activities are not. For us in the "Commercial interest group", our businesses are not domain name registration itself but have some relation to it, and because of such relation, we need sound evolution of the domain name market which will not harm our own businesses. That is, as I understand, our incentive to participate in GNSO activities, and I think this point should be included in the description of our group. As I am not a native English speaker, I have no self confidence in finding good expression for this, but one phrase I can think of is the following: Parties who are in charge of keeping integrity of economies surrounding domain name business I think this expression is slightly wider than the following in the current draft: The group should be unified entity representative broadly of commercial interests and open to commercially-oriented organisations and individuals such as consultants. To speak of my organization JPNIC, it is a not-for-profit organization consists of ISPs, and its objective is to seek sound evolution of the society by means of the Internet, not to seek commercial gain of itself nor our members. Because of this situation, the difference between above two descriptions is rather significant for us. ---- (Mr.) NaoMASA Maruyama Japan Network Information Center(JPNIC)
