To all,
While
certainly supporting civil society engagement, I am
concerned that the individual end user concerned with with
the noncommercial public interest aspects of domain name
policy are receiving no to little attention from those
responsible for engagement and outreach at ICANN. In fact,
in Los Angeles I was told by an ICANN staff member
involved in civil society engagement that the individual
end user was best placed in ALAC, not in the NCSG.
ALAC
and the NCSG have different remits. I would ask those in
the NCSG leadership ensure that ICANN staff understand the
role of the individual end user in the NCSG and resist
staff efforts to marginalise or otherwise ignore this
vital component of the NCSG as they promote, with thanks,
continued and increased civil society involvement.
Best,
Ed
