the multistakeholder model on its head. If we exclude certain sectors of stakeholders from a process, it really cannot be called multistakeholder any longer (and as Avri pointed out on a recent call, even an imbalanced multistakeholder group deviates from
the multistakeholder model and may not be truly multistakeholder).</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

this could be deemed a disqualification, since a party with an interest in the outcome will tend to seek an outcome beneficial to that interest, not the community's interest or the public interest. For a variety of reasons, we do not operate that way -- being
an interested party does not qualify one from participating in a multistakeholder process relating to that interest. This makes it even more important that a truly inclusive multistakeholder group be assembled to consider and resolve issues regardless of
whose ox is being gored, to balance the self-interest of the interested parties and to assure the integrity of the process.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

<br>
We need to think about who asks what of whom. And once we have the input, we also need to think about who makes the decision. But is that a general discussion or just for the GAC to devise and report back on its decision? And reporting back could be based
on when they agree to a collective decision - I'm not ok with telling the GAC that it needs to do something by a particular date and in a particular manner.<br>
<br>
Asking registrants about what will essentially be a redelegation process is not really an existing criterion for a gTLD, is it? (It could be an interesting way of doing it, but I'm not sure that it is without its problems.) And will the registrant necessarily
be the person authorised to give a view in the organisation?<br>
<br>
For so specialised a TLD, is this really something for wide community decision - stakeholders who are not stakeholders (or interested parties) in this decision?<br>
<br>
Finally, have we agreed that the IANA functions operator should not be running a TLD registry? If so, I must have missed that discussion/decision. Bearing in mind that they have been providing the role for a number of years, this seems to me to be a decision
that should be clearly justified.<br>

<br>
As best I can tell, the issue has been more or less swept under the rug by the statement "leave it to the GAC."<br>
I have no objection in principle to affording GAC a major role in developing a recommendation for .INT, but I think the CWG as a whole should not be just "leaving it" to them; we have the responsibility to develop some guidelines as to how they should deal
with it - e.g., do they actually ask the registrants what they want? Do we instruct them that IANA FO should not be running a TLD registry? Do they develop a recommendation and bring it back to the CWG? On what timetable?<br>
