Apologies for the late response to this thread, but I was on holiday with limited Internet access. I would like to get involved in domain name takedowns, UDRP review, and engagement with developing countries, so please count me in. Thanks.

I'd like to propose that we spend the first hour of the November NCSG Open Policy Meeting focusing on these "big picture" policy goals as you suggest. (The NCSG Open Policy Mtg will be scheduled at the end of this week for sometime between 14-16 November.) So it would be great if members who have opinions, expertise or desired outcomes on any of the below policy issues come to that meeting ready to discuss them and to volunteer to work on them in the next year. Thanks again! All best, Robin On Oct 31, 2011, at 5:58 AM, Wendy Seltzer wrote: On 10/31/2011 06:24 AM, Avri Doria wrote: Any answer regarding plans to finish the NCUC meeting? I don't speak for NCUC, but in developing NCSG policy, I'd love to convene people online and/or in real-time voice/chat to discuss issue areas for focus in the next 6-12 months. Among those I see on the table: Registrar Accreditation and Law Enforcement requests registrants' rights best practices for domain name suspension (it's happening; at least it should happen with due process checks and controls) UDRP review, and other TM-rights-protection mechanisms (RPMs) Engagement with developing countries Engagement with the GAC New gTLD roll-out Technical security and stability ...and I'm sure I'm missing several. I'd love to see volunteers from among the membership take leadership of issue areas and commit to watching for developments, tracking opportunities for involvement and NCSG response, and drafting issue analyses and public comments. --Wendy NCSG Councilor, individual registrant, NCUC -- Wendy Seltzer -- [log in to unmask] +1 914-374-0613 Fellow, Yale Law School Information Society Project Fellow, Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University http://wendy.seltzer.org/ https://www.chillingeffects.org/ https://www.torproject.org/ http://www.freedom-to-tinker.com/ IP JUSTICE Robin Gross, Executive Director 1192 Haight Street, San Francisco, CA 94117 USA p: +1-415-553-6261 f: +1-415-462-6451 w: http://www.ipjustice.org e: [log in to unmask]
