[Gnso-newgtld-wg-wt3] WT3 - Definition of "community" Proposal

Thu Jun 1 21:40:33 UTC 2017

Hi

(co-chair hat off)

I think that communities should have a history that at least predates
this New PDP process.  I think that an grouping that is assembled for
the purpose of a gTLD application is a cooperative or an association or
a non profit company but can't be a community. Personally I think
communities emerge over time and are rarely intentional.

As for Occupy, i do not know enough about their structure to know if it
is a community. I do not think that a political movement is a
community.  They certainly have a right to a gTLD.  Also I think that we
need to pay as much attention to freedom of assembly in talking about
communities, not specifically freedom of expression.  And I believe that
having institutionalized structures is an essential ingredient.  A mob
or a happening is not a community, it comes together for a purpose and
then dissipates.  Communities are long lasting and hard to kill off
(though governments and other often try)
