<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">I wouldn’t disagree with Donna’s comments. But I suspect most of the concerns about making sure we have representation are to do with the central role of the
MRT as the current proposed wording has it. People are going to want an entity with so much power (or seen to have the power) to have representative and balanced membership with their constituency in control, of course. It is not that people want to politicise
the committee, it is that they already see it as strategic, and therefore needing control.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">It is a serious concern that I have got with the draft: that we seem to be setting up bodies with central and decisive roles. The proposal hardly (if at all)
refers to the MRT engaging with the wider community. That is a problem.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">I’d say that the MRT should provide the framework for convening the wider stakeholder dialogue, not replace it. I certainly would not be happy with a committee
that made momentous decisions like calling in the contract and where Nominet did not have a say. Even having a European ccTLD manager on the committee in my mind would not necessarily be enough. None of its decisions should be taken away from the framework
of discussion with, and developing consensus among, the wider stakeholder community. And actually I’d say that the MRT role should be almost completely very boring.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Until we recognise this and get the wording right, we are going to have turf-warfare on membership.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

The vast attention that has been addressed to this relatively simple issue has doubtless attracted the conviction of stakeholders, who before knew not otherwise, that participation in control of the process has become indispensable. In that context, today,
a 'non policy making entity' does not exist. If you do not want to multiply policy making, you need fewer entities, not more.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

follow from such an approach, makes no sense given the function of the MRT. It represents a dysfunctional swelling of the MRT to unwieldy proportions, and a politicization of its function. The purpose of MRT is not to optimize ease of representation for the
GAC, nor is it to maximize “global engagement” in a non-policy making entity. It is a contracting authority for the IANA functions. Global engagement comes in the policy process. We need to stop thinking of the MRT as something that represents diverse policy
views. I see no reason why a single GAC representative is not sufficient to provide the kind of oversight needed to determine whether governments think the IANA contractor is doing an acceptable job. If the GAC can aggregate its views enough to elect a single
chair, or to write a single communique, why can it not select a single MRT representative?</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

5 and 5. But we just didn’t know how to create that parity easily given the GNSO’s 4- stakeholder group structure. I would encourage you think of ways to do that in ways that would be acceptable to the GNSO as a whole. Perhaps 2 from the RySG instead of 1

GAC is a policy advisory committee, so is ALAC. It makes absolutely no sense to have the MRT stacked with entities whose main concern is policy. Further, many governments are direct owners or licensors of their ccTLD so they would be represented when and if

for key decisions. The composition is structured and balanced to ensure that the MRT embodies a strong commitment to efficient and neutral administration of the DNS root zone rather than any specific policy agenda. Safeguards must be in place to ensure that
it is independent of ICANN corporate but also cannot be captured or unduly influenced by governments, intergovernmental organizations, or specific economic interests. The MRT should draw most of its ICANN community members from ICANN’s GNSO and ccNSO, with
the GNSO forwarding 4 (1 member for each Stakeholder Group), and the ccNSO forwarding 5 (1 for each world region). The root server operators should also be represented on the MRT with 2 positions. Each ICANN Advisory Committee (GAC, SSAC and ALAC) should appoint
2 members. There should be 4 independent experts external to the ICANN community selected through a public nomination process administered by [who? ISOC? IEEE?] but subject to conflict of interest constraints. Additionally, 2 non-voting but fully participating
liaisons from the other operational communities should be appointed (by ASO for numbers and by IAB for protocols) to facilitate coordination across the different IANA functions. MRT members should be appointed for limited terms sized appropriate to the contract
renewal cycle.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
