Hi Karen,
I wrote to Glen asking her to add you and Konstantinos to the registrants
rights drafting team & listserv, you should get notice from her
shortly. So I believe the team is now
Avri Doria - GNSO Chair -NCA
Chuck Gomes - GNSO Vive Chair Registry c.
Tim Ruiz - Registrar c.
Stéphane van Gelder - Registrar c.
Adrian Kinderis - Registrar c.
William Drake - NCUC
Baudouin Schombe NCUC
Karen Banks NCUC
Konstantinos Komaitis NCUC
Alan Greenberg - ALAC
Daniel Monastersky - ALAC (LACRALO)
Beau Brendler - ALAC
Evan Leibovitch ALAC
In response to your question and others raised by Konstantinos privately,
the group has yet to get started, there's been no traffic on the list, so
there are no documents or established work patterns to point
to. But things will have to get going soon. If I recall
correctly (don't have access to everything here) we have 30 days from
Board approval of the RAA amendments on 21 May to put together the
team/mandate and until end July to draft a charter, something like
that. I'm copying Avri as well as Alan, one of them can undoubtedly
clarify. Also copying other ALAC folks who indicated they wanted to
be involved. ALAC did some work on this in the past that we can
draw on in thinking about what kinds of public interest oriented
provisions we'd like to see and could reasonably ask for under the terms
of the board resolution etc, as well as longer term priorities. In
any event, there should be close cooperation between NCUC and ALAC folks
on this, including (one would hope) on outreach to potentially interested
civil society people who are not presently involved in either
group. I suppose as a first step we ought to set up a listserv and
share pointers to background docs and dialogues etc.
Perhaps I should add---and this will undoubtedly surprise you to no
end---that when this was discussed in the council a month or two back
there was a lot of push from the biz c to narrowly define the mandate,
abandon use of the term "charter of rights," and so on.
Presumably the monkey business will get back into full swing once the
list starts firing up. Should be a heartening complement to the
attacks on NCSG council seats, charter, etc.
Best,
Bill

Could you count me in for group 2, thanks (and, would you mind point me
to any useful updates on this group's work? i'm afraid i haven't followed
the discussion in NCUC this past month or so..)

In follow-up to our constituency
call today, we are looking for volunteers for the following 3 new NCUC
teams:
1. New gTLD group to work on a response to the new gTLD proposals
(concern for free expression, high costs, IRT "wish list",
favoritism of entrenched interests over innovators, etc).
2. New group to provide input into the Registrant Rights Charter
discussion (bring in outside expertise and craft positions on a
Registrant Rights Charter, work with At-Large/ALAC, etc).
3. NCUC Membership Committee (develop and implement ideas to bring
in new non-commercial members and increase participation in NCUC and
ICANN).
Please let me know if you are interested in participating in ANY of the
above new NCUC teams that are being set up (or if you have any questions
on them).
Thank you!
