by Alan partly in jest, that statement does have merit.</span></font></p>

font-family:Calibri;color:#1F497D">
– As the letter sent around by Jonathan shows, the GAC is thoroughly annoyed with the GNSO for starting a policy process on the protection of IOC and Red Cross marks. They believe (although unstated), that they have exclusive jurisdiction over these types
of public policy issues and do not want the GNSO to take “years” to work out whether these organizations (which they believe are protected by law) should receive protections in the new gTLD process. Without commenting on the merits of this argument, look
at what they have done. They have called the protections as nothing more than “implementation” and therefore, the GNSO should explain itself as to why we believe we have a right to start a policy process on it. After all, implementation can just be enacted
by the Board. There is no need for the GNSO to get involved, in their view…nor do they want it.</span></font></p>

font-family:Calibri;color:#1F497D">:
The ICANN Board sought guidance from the entire Internet community on whether the recommendations involved “implementation” or “policy”. Why? Because if it is implementation, there is no need to involve the GNSO community and it can just be enacted. Those
that supported the recommendations wholeheartedly called them “implementation.” Those that opposed the recommendations called it “policy.” I believe that many who called it policy actually truly believe there are policy issues involved, but some called it
policy, to have it go through the long drawn out process we call a PDP (with the hopes that it dies a slow death). Neither side of this debate is blameless.</span></font></p>

font-family:Calibri;color:#1F497D">:
For the record, I was a part of the group that discussed the straw man in Brussels and LA over the past few weeks. I found those discussions very useful and appreciate the efforts being made by the new ICANN CEO, who I have a tremendous amount of respect
for. I believe he truly will make a huge positive impact on ICANN for many years to come. But, now the debate has turned into what is policy and what is implementation. The IPC/BC and their representatives have called all of their proposals “implementation”.
The NCSG, Registries, Registrars and Applicants have called much of it policy. ICANN staff has now weighed in on their thoughts and have classified certain items as implementation (thereby negating the need for GNSO policy development), and other items as
policy, thereby requiring extensive involvement from the GNSO community – note I did NOT say necessarily PDP).</span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="#1f497d" face="Calibri"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;color:#1F497D">I believe we all need to take a step back from the issues
<u>immediately</u> and decide once and for all an agreed upon bottom-up multi-stakeholder definition of what is “policy” and what is “implementation.” Or at the very least a framework for making that assessment when issues arise. I would advocate for a cross
community group made up of members from ICANN staff, the GNSO, the GAC and others to come together to figure this issue out, so that we get out of this rut we are now in. At the same time, we need to fix the image of the GNSO policy processes so that they
are no longer feared, but embraced. They need to not be used as vehicles for delay, but rather utilized for the common good.</span></font></p>

can focus on the merits). If not, I see these issues getting much worse over the coming months/years. I believe the future of the GNSO, and even the multi-stakeholder model in general hinge on the definition of these 2 words.</span></font></p>
