<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hello Bruce,<br>
<br>
I'm writing w.r.t. Recommendation 6, pages 19, 20 and 27 of the
14-Dec-15-Board_Comments_to_CCWG[1][1].pdf.<br>
<br>
First, I agree with the Board's observations (p19, para1) that the
work has not progressed sufficient to allow non-placeholder text
to be inserted into the Bylaws.<br>
<br>
Second, I appreciate the expression of concern (p19 and 20) that
placeholder text may be construed by third-parties as having
meaning not intended by its authors.<br>
<br>
Third, I wish to observe that to the best of my limited knowledge,
no body of law is directly applicable to the "skitter core" (a
term we owe to the intelligence and industrious activity of k.c.
claffy
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;
charset=windows-1252">
<span class="st">and her co-workers at the Center for Applied
Internet Data Analysis (CAIDA)), which is where the global
uniqueness of identifiers (names-to-addresses) is manifested --
something not contained by any one territorial jurisdiction, yet
present in all (including .kr, which has AS</span><span
class="st">131279, announcing 175.45.176.0/22).<br>
<br>
This particular observation leads me to also observe that "the
full scope of defined work on human rights should include
consideration of impacts across all of ICANN's activities" is
problematic. Whatever "human rights" may mean in the context of
ICANN's core mission -- technical coordination of globally
unique identifiers -- is the usual language -- it is unlikely
that the same or even a comparable meaning exists for "human
rights" within the contexts of the day to day operations of the
offices in Los Angeles or Istanbul or Singapore, or the contexts
of the Corporation and the Contracted Parties, etc., for which
bodies of law exist.<br>
<br>
With regard to the Board's proposal (page 20, C) I wish to
remind you as the Board's liaison of the exchange of notes on
the subject of availability of, and correctness of, resolution
of globally unique identifiers to underlying resources, in the
CCWG mailing list, in which the current chair of a standards
body has opined that prior efforts by the Corporation, through
its Board Chair and CEO could be described as merely effecting
operational concerns, not asserting some general right of access
to resources through the resolution of globally unique
identifiers.<br>
<br>
Finally, I wish to repeat the observation I shared at the Los
Angeles face-to-face meeting of the CCWG, and many members of
the Board -- that access to namespaces is within the direct
control of the Corporation, and have been shown through the
success of the .cat sponsored linguistic and cultural registry,
</span><span class="st"><span class="st">the ccTLD IDN Fast Track
program, </span>and the expansion of the IDN Fast Track from
ccTLDs to the 2014 new gTLD program, to have substantively
advanced literacy and ease of use in (large populations) living
languages. While not expressed as a "human right", the history
of progressive support for namespaces and for identifiers in
scripts other than the Latin script by the Corporation is a
history of advancing a recognized human right. <br>
<br>
Personally I'm not concerned if this work is undertaken in WS1
or WS2, as I'm confident of the Board's intention to incorporate
some meaningful, and correct, statement concerning the core
function of the Corporation and some human rights, such as the
advancement of languages other than English among users of the
resources associated with globally unique identifiers via the
DNS.<br>
