<div>Colleagues:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Apologies for jumping in to this thread so late. But it occurs to me that by using the word "law" we are significantly (and, IMO, inappropriately) limiting the potential pool of NomCom appointees to lawyers.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Recommend that we replace each instance of "law" with broader terms, like "issues" or "concepts" or "topics."</div>
<div><br>
Thank you,
<div><br>

skill set at a higher level of abstraction (knowledge of and experience in relation to law relevant to the DNS), would that satisfy all concerns?</span></div>

</div>
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>Not really. We would still be specifying a set of legal skills that we think would likely be useful to council deliberation, rather than a set of legal skills that we think would likely be useful to
council deliberations AND that the council is unlikely to already have. </div>
<div>To reiterate - my issue with having intellectual property law on the list isn't because I think intellectual property law isn't important (it clearly is), my issue is that any given council almost certainly has at least two experts in IP law, and I've
don't think in the time I've been in iCANN there have been less than three on council. </div>
<div>The more specific we are in our instructions to NomCom, the likely we are that NomCom will give us some of what we ask for.</div>
<div>And NomCom does seem to pay attention to the list, though clearly reliant on who applies (for example, the prior list included both intergovernmental expertise and economics, and we got Carlos, an economist who has been in the GAC. Thanks, NomCom!). </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'd have no particular objection to adding Brian's 'general comprehension of IP law' to the baseline criteria expected of all councillors - I presume all of us could explain what a trademark, copyright, and patent are if pressed, and most of us have significantly
more knowledge than that - though it doesn't seem as important to me as the other baseline criteria, such as basic knowledge of DNS systems and industry structure. But the variable criteria are to 'fill gaps in the skill set of the Council' (quoting directly),
and I don't think intellectual property law is a notable gap.</div>

<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;">I agree with you that consumer protection is a justifiable and proper rationale for the creation and extension of intellectual monopoly rights and has been deemed so in Anglo-American jurisprudence,
at least, since the Bakers Marking Law of 1266. We may on occasion disagree with the structure and scope of such rights but I'm delighted there seems to be some practical agreement on the purpose of the rights themselves.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
