Thanks to those BC members who have posted their individual contributions regarding AART and also the Applicant Guidebook. That is very helpful to your colleagues, and a very useful courtesy within the BC. Thanks, Konstantine, for this posting. <BR>
<BR>
By now, all should have seen the USG letter to the Board regarding concerns about adherence to the AoC. I went to the ICANN website and looked at what ICANN says they are doing to implement each element. In most cases, they cite work at the GNSO council, PDPs, etc. <BR>
<BR>
As many of you know, I am very concerned that the failure to deliver on the economic report leaves out the significant externalities impact -- cost and other -- to the existing large trademark/portfolio holder where there are IP rights involved in a domain name through affiliation with a trademark. <BR>
<BR>
But, the USG letter is telling for other reasons, and that is that the government who negotiated it and who is in fact on the AART, is expressing a clear sense that ICANN is not delivering -- within year one, on the very commitments that are needed to keep ICANN out of the clutches of various other entities. <BR>
<BR>
I am also disturbed to see that once again, staff [and presumably, with the agreement of Rod] have eliminated the commitment to 'bottom up, consensus based, private sector led organization. This has been an ongoing struggle since I was on the President's Strategy Committee [PSC] that formulated many of the recommendations in the AoC. That phrasing is very important to business, and especially as we strive to help ICANN board come to a better approach to collaborating with the GAC in a constructive dialogue, without changing the role or authority of the governments within ICANN. <BR>
<BR>
This will be a stressing week, and an important one. <BR>
<BR>
If you cannot be in Columbia in person, we hope to see you online. <BR>
<BR>
