Tempest in a Tea Cup? NCSG is a community of interest made up of individuals ranging from those for whom NCSG is almost a full time volunteer job to those who wish to, or can only afford to, lurk and learn, contributing when and where they can. NCSG-discuss postings range across several areas of interest from the labour and attention intensive ICANN working groups and ICANN policy and implementation agenda to items about issues in the parallel universes of Internet governance elsewhere in the Internet Ecosystem (e.g. IGFs). Occasionally posting are just items of interest for information for NCSG members. As for ICANN’s CEO, each of us has a different intensity in the watching brief we keep on the CEO’s moves and promotional work. As an economist my warning flags went up when the CEO started waltzing with the World Economic Forum around the Netmundial Initiative. Posting an occasional link to the CEO’s activities, or other ICANN activities, is a useful reminder of what ICANN is up to, what its public face looks like, and IMHO should redouble NCSG efforts to keep ICANN on track. As for posting links to what others (GAC, business members, etc.) are up to, an occasional reminder of what others are up to elsewhere (e.g. IGF) is useful. If there is a line to be draw here between NCSG member and staff postings, I would suggest that it is useful for the staff to retain leeway to post occasional in house ICANN links as information for the NCSG community, under an understanding with the Chair of NCSG.
