set up to fail is an interesting question. Every single
attempt to resolve WHOIS disagreements has failed, in my
opinion, so I don't think we should ponder the set up too
much, although I will confess to being curious about whether
plan B (the Board imposed emergency policy) had been in the
minds of Board members and some stakeholder groups all along. </span></span><br></p><p><span class="m_4694810679857608388size" style="font-size:undefinedpx"><span class="m_4694810679857608388font" style="font-family:Lucida Grande">The important question
that I think we need to examine now is why these attempts are
failing. This group has assembled an impressive group of
experts, who have put in many many hours of work. We have
expert staff and experienced leadership. I for one have
agonized about slowing things down and insisting on certain
caveats, knowing how unpopular my views/experience on privacy
policy application are, but each expert owes it to his/her
discipline to present that perspective. I think the problem
is the reluctance of many to actually listen to the other
perspectives with respect, to present facts not opinion, and
to have a genuine desire to learn and to reach a solution.
The ad hominem attacks certainly have not helped, and perhaps
the leadership could have taken a harder line when dealing
with an evident reluctance on the part of many to actually
complete the homework assignments (i.e. read the documents
presented by the other guys they are arguing with).</span></span><br></p><p><span class="m_4694810679857608388size" style="font-size:undefinedpx"><span class="m_4694810679857608388font" style="font-family:Lucida Grande">I hope the leadership
team is thinking hard about how to reconstitute/restructure
the group. I certainly am. Neither the emergency policy, nor
the expedited PDP can possibly deal with all the issues that
are as yet unresolved, in my view. Time will tell, but I see
no evidence that ICANN leadership including the Board have a
bag of pixie dust they are about to haul out to make this
thing fly .</span></span><br></p><p><span class="m_4694810679857608388size" style="font-size:undefinedpx"><span class="m_4694810679857608388font" style="font-family:Lucida Grande">As to Nathalie's last
comment....The GDPR is as a fact. It will be as difficult to
apply as any regional treaty that has international or
extra-territorial implications. It is based on a sound
international human rights framework. Just because
jurisdictional conflicts are inevitable is no reason not to
keep trying. We would not be in the environmental and fishing
mess we are currently in if countries had not given up on the
Law of the Sea as an instrument; fortunately those who are
fighting human trafficking don't give up when they see lack of
enforcement in their particular sphere of activity. There are
countless examples of failure in international negotiations,
over issues that really matter for our mutual safety,
security, and survival as a species. I don't see why this
effort to resolve what is basically a disagreement about the
mechanisms of using personal data to resolve participation in
the DNS, human rights, cybersecurity, and trademark
enforcement in the DNS should be unsolvable, if enough people
care about reaching an agreement.</span></span><br></p><p><span class="m_4694810679857608388size" style="font-size:undefinedpx"><span class="m_4694810679857608388font" style="font-family:Lucida Grande">Looking forward to
