<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Thank you for your perspective as a Board member who was ※a complete ICANN outsider§ prior to selection.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">With respect, when I look at the members of the current Board I do not discern such a significant difference from the makeup of the ICANN community that the
former can be presumed to always act reliably on behalf of the global Internet community while the latter cannot be trusted to do so. And if the belief is that the community is not sufficiently diverse to be trusted with certain accountability enforcement
mechanisms, then how can it be trusted to make DNS policy through the bottom-up, multistakeholder process that this whole transition-plus-accountability exercise is designed to protect? As a just-reelected member of the GNSO Council, I believe that we and
the community we represent are quite diverse and trustworthy, and I know that we strive to carefully devise policies that benefit both the ICANN and the global community.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Further, while the last thing I want to do is test either group against some ethnic/gender/geographic scorecard, both the Board and the community might well
be adjudged to be insufficiently reflective of the global Internet community, depending how one is measuring that. Yet in nearly twenty years of operation I know of no charge that ICANN has acted against global interests.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">As for language differences, under Fadi＊s leadership great strides have been made in translation not just of discussions but of documents. On the matter of
cultural differences, ICANN is a U.S. corporation designed by U.S. lawyers, so I＊m not sure whether or how that should be addressed -- but I also don＊t see it as relevant to the question of who can be trusted to carry out the global public interest.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">As I have previously urged on this list, I do not think it is productive to raise charges such as ※instability§, ※capture§, and ※against the global public interest§
without citing specific examples of what bad act might result. So, rather than charging that under some proposed model ICANN processes might somehow be captured by a subset of SOs and ACs who might then act against the global public interest, can we please
require that those raising such concerns cite specific examples of what bad acts might result 每 so the threat can be evaluated and stress tested? <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Without such specificity, this discussion begins to seem like children seeing ghosts and goblins in dark shadows, which disappear instantly when the lights
are switched on.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">I would beg to differ that the ICANN community is currently sufficiently reflective of the global Internet community. If anything, it is on the contrary. The
barriers to participation can be quite high 每 language is one of them as well as the ※speak up§ culture so dominant at ICANN meetings which is certainly not the norm in many Asian cultures/communities.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">Of course there have been tremendous efforts made to increase diversity in the ICANN community via outreach activities and programmes, but we still have a long
way to go before we can say that the ICANN community is reflective of the global Internet community. At the recent ICANN meeting in Singapore, there was a (very sadly) low number of participants from the ASEAN region. The ICANN community has a long way
to before we can truly say we are geographically diverse (or gender balanced for that matter!)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

</div>
<div>
<p><span style="color:black">It has a later role as a decision-maker, according to criteria that have already been established by Board resolution.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p><span style="color:black">A careful multi-stakeholder process over almost a year has analysed the community's requirements and come up with a model that can do it - based around membership.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p><span style="color:black">The Board has abused its role as a decision-maker in this process. In effect, it has sought to replace the open, public, deliberative proposal development process with its own definition of what the community requires, and its own
solution that can deliver its evaluation of those requirements.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p><span style="color:black">In doing so, it has profoundly challenged the legitimacy of the multi-stakeholder model of decision-making that ICANN and its Board claim to uphold.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p><span style="color:black">Worse, as a matter of process, the Board has attempted to use its decisional role at the end of the Accountability to move the trajectory of debate away from what the community's requirements, fairly analysed dictate -- trying to
force the group to "jump the tracks" and into a solution that is unlikely to be able to deliver on those requirements.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p><span style="color:black">It's an ugly display of force in what should be a rational and requirements-based conversation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p><span style="color:black">I sincerely regret the Board's choice as a group to take that approach. The effect is to give fodder to all of those people, countries and groups who have long argued that the entire notion of multi-stakeholder Internet policymaking
is a charade, behind which decisions are made simply and alone by "the people who matter".<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span style="color:black">In terms of the CCWG's work, this email combined with your statement in Los Angeles reduce the chances of any consensus being able to emerge between what the Board has asked for and what the CCWG has developed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p><span style="color:black">It leaves me very sad that the groups here (Board and CCWG) have arrived at this position. There is an apparent lack of listening and comprehension; few displays of empathy or willingness to see things from another point of view;
and a consequent inability to really talk through and resolve the conflicting perspectives and aims here.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p><span style="color:black">I hoped the Board might make some overtures in that direction. I know I and other CCWG members have been trying to do. To get this sort of response indicates that that attempt serves no further purpose.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

the structure we have been using. We understand that many believe it is possible to constrain these powers in order to provide established protections, accountability and thresholds: This is unproven territory and will require more detail and time to understand
and test the impact on our bedrock multistakeholder balance. </span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
