"Inform a variety of constituents regarding the role that ICANN plays in the Internet ecosystem. Facilitate solutions to challenging problems in a manner consistent with ICANN’s mission, remit and policies. Manage and participate in a number of cross-organizational projects relating to safeguards with the goal of addressing a variety of kinds of abuse and illegal activity, including spam/malware, intellectual property infringement, the unlawful sale and distribution of pharmaceuticals and controlled substances, and other illegal activities on the Internet, particularly where there is a focus on multi-stakeholder collaboration and a commitment to promote consumer trust in the domain name system. Work with ICANN’s leaders to set the consumer safeguards strategy and plans for ICANN."
I like a consumer trust position. But this doesn't say anything
about who the person reports to, and the openness of the positions
activities. E.G., I'd hope we would be able to see if this is
focused on assuaging the concerns of the pharmaceutical or film
industries and not name sale abuses by registries or registrars.
But I have a question about the origin of this position. Is this
something ALS requested? Did this arise from a staff initiative
that is thought to respond to needs expressed by the ALS? Or
otherwise? Did the ALS have an opportunity to set the scope of
this position?
Best,
Tom
