a country where 1% of the population governs 99% of the
population,
and most don’t even know that the 1% exists! Legitimate
democratic
governance depends on the awareness and participation of the
populous. Legitimacy in Internet governance requires greater
awareness and participation of stakeholders. Civil society is
the
most disenfranchised part of the whole processes, and it has
the most
to loose.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Thank
you all for confirming your interest in proceeding
with the planning for an SO-AC High Interest
Session in Los Angeles. Working with our staff
Meeting Team colleagues, it appears that Monday in
LA will again offer the best window for the
session. I have informed the ICANN 51 Steering
Committee of the need for the session and we have
discussed the following scenario.</span><span

style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Monday
programming will offer opportunities for community
discussion on a range of topics of high interest
to the community. We can count on their being at
least one session addressing the IANA Stewardship
Transition and another session addressing the
ICANN Accountability matter. Heather has also
noted the likelihood of a GAC request for a
session on Registration Data (WHOIS) issues.</span><span

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span><span
style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">As a
result of this overall concept, we suggest
planning to conduct a session that highlights one
or two topics of high community interest <u>that
are different</u> from these three main topic
areas. It would be helpful to have you share
topic suggestion on this list over the next week
or so. Staff will compile the list of all
suggestion received by 25 August and then I’ll
circulate the list of possibilities to all of you
for winnowing down. My hope is that, via email,
we can quickly reach consensus on a couple of
topics so that all of you will have the
opportunity to glean your community views to share
during the session.</span><span

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Logistically,
we will plan to run the session largely like the
previous hot-topic session in Buenos Aires –
recall the Brad White-led format. I am happy to
get feedback from you on any improvements we can
introduce to that format previous format.</span><span
