Keep the Core Neutral
NCUC is doing a press release on this campaign shortly. ALSs that support shoudl consider signing on. I'd also like to ask our NA RALO to consider endorsing this and considering submitting its own particular views on this topic. perhaps other RALOs might endorse as well. I have disseminated this to my constituents and to several other listservs. From: http://keep-the-core-neutral.org/join The *Keep The Core Neutral Coalition* is committed to protecting freedom of expression and innovation in domain name policy at ICANN. This means basing gTLD-approval policy on criteria of only a technical/operational and related nature, and refraining from embedding any particular national, regional, moral, or religious policy objectives into global ICANN policy. http://keep-the-core-neutral.org/join
Making no comment about the campaign, I do recommend that those interested in this important subject review the current draft of the gTLD report, available at: http://gnso.icann.org/drafts/pdp-dec05-fr- a-18jun07.pdf This is a very fundamental area of ICANN policy, which will have effects for many years to come throughout the world - informed participation in this debate is always the best kind of participation.

Indeed, we should assemble recommended & required readings. Network Neutrality has been a longstanding effort among groups I work closely with, and there are many subtleties and more to the point many fronts on which we must be attentive to policymaking on the issue, not just at ICANN. How might we be more coordinated in our effort to educate the public and our constituents on the issues we take up? How might we better organize and maintain recommended readings by topic? -MM Related reference, pertinent to the session on Freedom of Expression: David Isenberg's essay (cited by Wendy) http://www.isen.com/stupid.html On 6/27/07, Nick Ashton-Hart <nick.ashton-hart@icann.org> wrote:

If NA / other groups think it is worth the effort, we could make a policy working group for worldwide input into and following of this process, though of course this is a GNSO process and the GNSO Liaison is Alan Greenberg so perhaps this could be done as part of the existing GNSO Working Group?

We've done that and gone further; I've added a KtCN group to Facebook. Matthew Rice, a CLUE director, has already joined. CLUE is adding its name to the petition.
I'd also like to ask our NA RALO to consider endorsing this and considering submitting its own particular views on this topic.
Agreed on both counts. - Evan
