<p class="MsoNormal">Hello everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Just a minor point of clarification about usage of the word “Cross Community Working Group” and the acronym “CCWG” – under the Uniform Framework of Principles for Future Cross Community Working Groups that was adopted by the ccNSO and GNSO
Councils last year, it is clearly stated that <i>“A CCWG should not be a substitute for existing mechanisms that can be used to address the problem(s) identified, including processes that are used for policy development work. A CCWG is intended to inform and
enhance or supplement policy development work, and may precede it, but does not replace it.”<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hence, if there is agreement to move the work on this topic to a cross-community-based mechanism, it will likely have to be a different vehicle from what is commonly known as a “CCWG” in current ICANN usage.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I hope this is helpful.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">In response, I believe -- and again, this is a personal view at this time -- that the starting point for any compromise should be a proposal that is limited to Geo terms and that proposes some discrete limits on
governmental powers. This strawman allows any government to add any Geo, culturally significant, or any other term to the proposed RGN without any limitation and without even the necessity for an underlying national law.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Second, I would hope that the entire Council would oppose any attempt to move a gTLD issue to a CCWG. That could be the beginning of the end of our powers and to private sector/civil society leadership. The GAC
has ample opportunity to provide input to a PDP WG and of course can provide GAC advice in regard to any Final Report that is approved by Council.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<br>
<br>
Just want to point out that this is just one example of a possible<br>
starting point for a proposal. what we were trying to do is point out<br>
that there are possible solution that compromise among the various<br>
points of view. As in any compromise we may find, it will seem odious<br>
in part to everyone.<br>
<br>
<br>
I would also like to point out that we are under pressure to allow this<br>
issue to go to a CCWG.<br>

> last document referenced above (the Co-Chairs’ draft additional<br>
> compromise strawperson). After spending some time reviewing all of<br>
> the proposals, Avri and I have tried to draft a Strawperson that<br>
> includes a number of elements from most of the proposals we saw. We<br>
> could not draw from every proposal since some of them were<br>
> diametrically opposed to each other.<br>

> That said, this is just a strawperson and _not_ a proposal. Avri and<br>
> I are not advocates for this document, but we would be happy to answer<br>
> any questions as to why the draft says what it says. The sole purpose<br>
> of putting this strawperson together is to stimulate conversation<br>
> beyond the discussions that have taken place so far. We understand<br>
> that there are some very strong held positions by many members of the<br>
> community, but we hope that by putting this together, we can hopefully<br>
