Re: [Npoc-discuss] Internet Infrastructure and Sea Level Rise: Food/Question for Thought
by Sam Lanfranco Nov. 4, 2019

Nov. 4, 2019

Poncelet, Thank you for your comments. I agree that the looming crisis around Internet Infrastructure and Sea Level Rise is not central to ICANN's mandate, and do not see it as occupying a central position on the ICANN agenda. But, as multiple stakeholder constituencies we (including ICANN and ICANN org) have to press for greater attention elsewhere, where stakeholder awareness and engagement are raised with regard to such issues. The IGF is one of those venues and I support NPOC developing a strategy (say as NPOC org, with an independent budget and above and beyond its ICANN constituency existence) to take on such tasks. I remind us that this is more or less how the other ICANN constituencies operate outside ICANN, targeting their efforts at areas that impact their core interests. Our interests are two fold, the impact of the Internet ecosystem on the NGO, not-for-profit, community constituency, and on "the public good". Within NPOC we focus on the DNS, but our concerns are wider. This is a good opportunity to mature NPOC as a concerned constituency within the challenges facing the wider Internet ecosystem.

As under the realm of ICANN we won’t get far with the discuss as it centers on infrastructure not DNS. Our chair @Joan can see how we can promote it within the global IGF as per NPOC and within our regional gatherings.
