<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Thanks Chris.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">In Focus Area 4, aside from saying that they will continue to implement ATRT recommendations, and recognizing that ICANN will come under greater scrutiny and review, the only new language that appears to be ethics-related
is “ICANN will continue to evolve Board of Director policies to reflect best practices in multi-stakeholder model governance.” (p. 17) That’s pretty general. It also makes no reference to best practices for staff, not just the Board. And it’s not clear what
other multi-stakeholder entities they may be looking toward to gauge best practices, as ICANN is fairly unique in its operating style.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">So I, for one, will be interested in hearing actual details in the ethics area described in Dakar. I am also particularly interested in whether ICANN believes that California law prevents it from imposing post-employment
occupational restrictions, because if that is the case it may well feed additional criticism of ICANN’s operational model – as a California non-profit corporation with enforcement powers limited strictly to contractual compliance with contracted parties.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Finally, in regard to contracted parties, while there is a reference on p. 10 to improving “the contractual compliance regime for registrars and registries” in relation to reducing registration abuse and malicious
conduct, there is not a hint of implementing contracts with UDRP providers (and it’s unclear to me whether URS providers for new gTLDs will be placed under contract or simply accredited and left to go their merry way). Last year the BC called for a halt in
accreditation of any new UDRP providers under a standard agreement was entered into with all incumbent providers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">See you, and many BC members, in Dakar. Safe travel.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
