[council] Re: Second Milestone Report of the JAS
CWG<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV class=h5>
<DIV></DIV>Hi Rafik, Carlton,
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Having read the JAS WG report, I want to congratulate you and the
group on the impressive amount of work that has been achieved.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I have several questions which I thought I'd put to the list so
that they might benefit any discussion we might have on this during our
next Council meeting. These are to help my personal understanding of the
report and what the group is recommending.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>On page 3, it says that the group is responding to requests from
its charters and the Board and the GAC. Should we understand by this
statement that the group has been taking input directly from the Board
and the GAC, on top of its chartering organisations?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>On page 4 it says "This WG is comprised of members who support
these aims and are committed to lowering the barriers to full
participation in the gTLD program by a truly global and inclusive
community." As co-chairs, do you feel the group's membership was
representative of a sufficiently diverse set of views, opinions and
approaches?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Page 6 says that one criteria for eligibility is "Service in an
under‐served language, the presence of which on the Internet has been
limited". This is further explained in 3.1.2. But I don't understand
what the metrics for these criteria are? What makes a language
under-served and how can we measure if its presence on the Internet is
limited?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Page 9, section 3.3 goes back to my earlier question about where
and from whom the group has been getting input. Here it says that the
group had agreed on one set of recommendations (govs not entitled to
support) but are now working to change those after the GAC has asked
them to. Do you, as co-chairs, feel comfortable with this?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Page 12, section 4.2 Do you not feel the deferment of DNSSEC is not
in keeping with ICANN's mission of ensuring a stable and secure
Internet? As DNSSEC is such a clear security feature, would it not be
better to seek (financial) support for applicants that find the cost of
implementing it too high, rather than suggesting they need not implement
it upon start-up (with the risk that it may then be years before they
actually do implement it)?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>On the same section, what does the group mean by "relaxed VI rules"
in the light of the latest Board resolution on VI?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for any help or any answers you can provide and once again,
I would like to thank you for the hard work you have both put in to this
group.</DIV>
<DIV> <BR>
<DIV>
<DIV>Stéphane</DIV>
