      <p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Dear Friends<br>
        <br>
        Greetings. I have
        now read the report twice and I think this report merits an
        extended
        reply by the GNSO.<br>
        <br>
        I will refrain from derisory comments about
        the report as far as a I can, only one, the first page looks
        like IG
        buzzword bingo on steroids and like steroids it replaces
        substance
        with short term illusions!<br>
        <br>
        A good example is the first
        buzzword "crowdsource". Crowdsource is a good thing, but as
        it is used in the report it is just a distraction the real
        problem.
        The problem of IG in general and of ICANN in particular is not a
        lack
        of participation, it is not even a question of language and
        acronyms<font face="Cambria, serif"><font style="font-size:
            11pt" size="2">.
            The uncomfortable fact remains true that Cyberspace</font></font><font

              of the
              population and 98% of these don’t even know that the 1%
              exist! This
              represents a real legitimacy problem for all current IG
              processes.

              report says: (page4), “For an institution to merit the
              peoples
              trust, it first has to trust its people”. The people we
              are
              talking about here is the global Internet user community,
              all of
              them. Trust can only come when all the people know their
              rights and
              responsibilities. In the case of IG the responsibility to
              inform all
              is not simply discharged by awareness campaigns and nice
              pictures,
              but by demonstrating the relevance of IG to every level of
              its user
              community. People engage with things only if they are
              relevant to
              them, awareness is a result of relevance, empowerment and
              trust are
              the result of trusting the internet users in understanding
              the true
              significance and deep relevance of IG in all our lives. </font></font></font><font

              language, its not
              the time, its that we have to find a way to make the WG
              topics
              relevant to a large number of people. This will not happen

        Accountability can only come from the awareness of all what IG
        is
        accountable for. Transparency in contracts and processes only
        makes
        sense when all understand what the contracts are about.
        Innovation
        has to come from informed participation based on relevance not
        engineered organizational processes.</p>
      <p style="margin-bottom: 0in">I am surprised by the liberal
        recommendation by the report of on-line tools that are only
        available
        to an elite and not the average online user in a developing
        country.
        Like the whole report, these recommendations reflect a first
        world
        centered view on IG and technology.
      </p>
      <p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Are other councilors also disturbed
        by
        the liberal use in the report of the “ICANN should...” phrase
        followed even sometimes by a time line and the clear indication
        that
        the expectation is on speedy implementation without much
        discussion
        and control? Maybe the authors of the report should be the first
        who
        take their own recommendations serious:”In the future, we need
        to
        eschew the kind of self-serious pomposity that gets in the way
        of
        change and embrace humility and fallibility as touchstones to
        progress”. Wise words, well spoken, unfortunately completely
        ignored
        in the very same report.<br>
      </p>
      <p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Happy to work with fellow councilors
        on a more detailed reply.<br>

                        how to redesign the way ICANN runs itself is

                        generalities, geopolitics and technical detail
                        are a part of ICANN's life, but I would argue

                        it is clear in its view that the current version
