probably "occupy" the 2 public sessions for EWG i.e. attending them ,  ask
the hard questions and debunk the myth of having consensus.
privacy issue was suggested by Marilia as 1 of the topics for the meeting
with Board too,
we also should comment the report itself in due time.

Hi

p. 6  "This Final Report, including its recommendations and proposed
principles for the next- generation RDS, reflects a consensus.”

p. 164  "With the delivery of this Final Report and its 180
consensus-supported principles, the Board’s vision has indeed materialized.”

p. 165 "Among the EWG members were seasoned entrepreneurs and global
leaders (Ajayi, Ala- Pietilä, Neylon, Rasmussen, and Shah). Their
collective expertise in balancing risks and their results-oriented problem
solving style paved the way to reaching an early consensus among the EWG.”

This characterization doesn’t seem to quite fit with Stephanie’s excellent
and (astonishingly) suppressed Dissenting Report…

How shall we proceed in London?

Report

Dear All:

The Expert Working Group on gTLD Directory Services (EWG) has issued
their Final
Report
<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/final-report-06jun14-en.pdf>.
Given your group's interest in this topic, I wanted to bring this to your
attention, along with the public sessions the EWG has scheduled at the
ICANN London meeting:


   - An introduction to the Final Report: EWG Overview of Final Report
   <http://london50.icann.org/en/schedule/mon-ewg-final-overview>, Monday,
   23 June, 1515 – 1615
   - Two cross-community discussion sessions:
      - EWG Final Report Discussion Session
      <http://london50.icann.org/en/schedule/mon-ewg-final-discussion>, Monday,
      23 June, 1700 - 1900
      - EWG Final Report Discussion Session
      <http://london50.icann.org/en/schedule/wed-ewg-final-discussion>,
      Wednesday, 25 June, 0800 – 1000


The Final Report fulfills the ICANN Board's directive to help redefine the
purpose and provision of gTLD registration data, and provides a foundation
to help the ICANN community (through the GNSO) create a new global policy
for gTLD directory services. This report represents the culmination of an
intense 15 month period of work during which this diverse group of
volunteers
<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/gtld-directory-services-2013-02-14-en>
created
an alternative to today's WHOIS to better serve the global Internet
community -- a next-generation Registration Directory Service (RDS).

The EWG looks forward to discussing this with the ICANN community. Thank
you for sharing this notice broadly.

Regards,
Denise
