<p class="MsoNormal"><a name="_GoBack"></a><span style="color:windowtext">Thank you for the extended deadline in relation to the Multi-Stakeholder Model Evolution. My comments are my own and not those of my law firm or any client or other interested party.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext">Notwithstanding the fact that the work that has been done was initiated in accordance with a Strategic Objective, the work to be done in future on the eight issues identified in the evolution of the Multi-Stakeholder
Model, including possible revisions/improvements to that Model should all be reviewed against the following:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext">ICANN’s Renewed Vision<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext">ICANN’S Approved Strategic Plan<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext">ICANN’s Approved Strategic Objectives<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext">This review will be important in order for outcomes in the work on the Model to align with the principles contained in the Strategic Plan that was adopted by the ICANN Board. By way of example, if the Renewed
Vision states that ICANN’s process will be “OPEN” (as it does), will the appointment of a representative group of Chairs of the SOs and ACs meet this value stated in the Renewed Vision?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext">Representative governance is in fact a very different model from the current process that values individual participants equally with the officers of established SOs and ACs. If ICANN elects to pursue a representative
governance model in the PDP policy process or in Cross-Community Working Groups, there is a risk that valuable individual Minority Views will be lost and/or overwhelmed. It will also be much harder for new participants to have an influence on Internet policy.
ICANN already struggles with new participants feeling like “outsiders” due to the specialized language and acronyms and the time it takes to get “up to speed” on organizational dynamics and decision-making. The barriers to effective participation by newcomers
should not be increased.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext">Accordingly, each entity appointed to address an issue identified in the projects for the Evolving the Multi-Stakeholder Model, should, as an obligatory first step, be required to assess the task to be accomplished
in relation to the ICANN Renewed Vision, Strategic Plan, and Strategic Objectives. This exercise should help to focus the work and to ensure that the work to be accomplished is consistent with longer term goals.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext">Thank you for the opportunity to comment.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
