Yes, all of those would be good commitments.

I would like to see the FoE thing as undiluted as possible, and not part of what our opponents might dismiss as a grab bag. Although of course ICANN should follow due process, it might claim that its bylaws already commit it to that. On privacy, we risk re-raising the Whois debate. But, lets discuss

Milton,

 

Thanks for the suggestion - it is terrific.  I wonder if we could expand the principle to include other human rights like privacy and due process of law?   (or maybe that is asking too much from ICANN?)

 

Yes, the "blue board" was primarily the wishes of the the triad with a couple issues thrown in by the contracting parties in retaliation to the triad's wish list.  I said NCUC would be adding issues to the list after our mtg on Tuesday.

 

Thanks,

Robin

Robin, a policy wish list is a good topic for the 2:00 – 4:00 part of our meeting. I assume that the “blue board” you attached is someone else’s wish list, it doesn’t look like Christmas to me….

One quick suggestion from me:

 

-          Getting ICANN to recognize freedom of expression as a “principle” fundamental to its mission (just like “security and stability” and “competition” are now.

Hi NCUC'ers:

 

Yesterday in the GNSO Council mtg in Paris we were asked to come up with policy projects/objectives for the GNSO to work on (see email below and attachment herewith).

 

Several constituencies already had their policy wish list ready and suggested a long list of pressing GNSO work projects like how to take domain names away from others outside judicial or UDRP processes.   Avri had a great suggestion of how to help individuals effectively respond to UDRP actions without needing to retain attorney.

 

So one thing I hope we can discuss in our mtg on Tuesday is what would NCUC like to suggest the GNSO work on in the coming months?  Any ideas?

I also join in Milton's request to ask that that as many NCUC'ers as possible participate in our constituency mtg on Tuesday.  If you aren't in Paris this week, you can participate with free software E-lluminate  < see: http://cotelco.syr.edu/WEBCONFERENCING/GettingStarted/tabid/883/language/en-US/Default.aspx  >

 

The NCUC mtg will take place from 9am-5pm (Paris time).  We've got a lot of important issues on the agenda, so please download the software and join in the discussion.

 

Thanks!

Robin

Subject: [council] blueboard

 

Hi,

 

I have attached the blueboard from today's blue sky meeting.  i want to remind everyone of a couple of points.

 

- this is te start of a rolling list of issues that some of the people who attended today's meeting think might be worth discussing in terms of policy implications for the GNSO and ICANN.

 

- this is _not_ a plan

 

- there was no agreement on the wording of the issues

 

- there is no commitment anywhere about anything in this list other then they are on a list of things that will discussed further.

 

Over time as the list matures and some comments are added to the list, as well as possibly new items and depending what comes out of the constituency meetings, the  public meeting and future council meetings, we may start to prioritize some of the items that are on this list in order to create a draft policy strategy plan for the future.  But I reiterate this list is just a first step in that direction with a long ways to go yet. With all sorts of constituency and public reviews to happen before it ever becomes a plan.

 

I will abstract the information from this list to create a slide or two for the public meeting.

 

Thanks to everyone who risked contributing their thoughts to this process.

 

And thanks to Olof for facilitating the beginning of this process.

 

a.
