IT IS SOMETHING I HAVE TALKED ABOUT MANY TIMES BECAUSE IT IS BAKED INTO OUR DNA, THROUGH OUR BYLAWS, THROUGH OUR AFFIRMATION OF COMMITMENTS, TO THE REVIEWS BUT ALSO NOW THE IANA AGREEMENT WILL REQUIRE THAT WE VERIFY, THAT WE FOLLOW THE GLOBAL PUBLIC INTEREST.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:13.5pt;color:black'><br>THAT BEGS US TO CONSIDER WHETHER THE BOARD OUGHT TO ASK THE COMMUNITY TO TRY TO DEFINE WHAT THAT MEANS. WE OUGHT TO BE INSPIRED AT LEAST BY A LITTLE EXPERIENCE OVER THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS. WE RESPONDED TO A BOARD RESOLUTION FROM THE CARTAGENA MEETING ASKING THE COMMUNITY TO DEFINE "CONSUMER TRUST, CONSUMER CHOICE AND COMPETITION" IN THE CON TENSE OF THE DNS. AND THAT WAS PURSUANT TO AFFIRMATION REVIEW A YEAR AFTER THE NEW TLDs OR IN THE ROOT. IF YOU ASK THE COMMUNITY, I THINK WE HAVE DEMONSTRATED THE DRAFT ADVICE THAT HAS BEEN POSTED FOR PUBLIC COMMENT THAT WE CAN GO THROUGH A RIGOROUS PROCESS OF COMING UP WITH NARROW SCOPE DEFINITIONS THAT ARE STILL A HIGH BAR FOR ICANN TO HIT.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:13.5pt;color:black'><br>I WILL CLOSE BY SAYING IT IS NOT JUST DOABLE FROM THE COMMUNITY BUT I WILL EVEN KICK START THE PROCESS TO SUGGEST IF WE WERE TO DEFINE "GLOBAL PUBLIC INTEREST" IT WOULD BE LIMITED TO THE TWO THINGS WE DO, WE DO REGISTRATIONS. AND WE DO RESOLUTIONS. THAT'S ALL ICANN MANAGES. AND THE ONLY THINGS WE WANT TO HAVE IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST IS TO HAVE THE AVAILABILITY AND THE INTEGRITY OF REGISTRATIONS AND RESOLUTIONS. THAT'S THE BARE BEGINNING OF A DEFINITION. I THINK WE CAN WORK WITH THAT. AND I WOULD INVITE THE BOARD TO ASK THE COMMUNITY TO TRY TO RESPOND TO THAT CHALLENGE.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:13.5pt;color:black'><br>>>STEVE CROCKER: THANK YOU.
