[ICANN-CSC] [Ext] Re: IANA Naming Function Escalation Report

[Naela Sarras]

Dear Jay,

Sorry for the late reply, I was on Thanksgiving break.
    
Thank you for pointing out that we neglected to state in the escalation report that PTI had received communications from an individual representing NasaDomena.sk, a local community group.  This oversight was inadvertent.  
    
As stated in the report, the communications spanned several months. Initially, the complainant introduced himself as a citizen of the Slovak Republic living in the United States who runs a small hosting company and explained his dissatisfaction with the .SK changes.  Our suggestion at that point was for him to work with the local community to resolve these issues. Later on, the communications stated that he is speaking on behalf of the community and pointed out that the Slovak community reestablished an Association of Webhosting Providers made up of major hosting providers and registrars that’s working toward the .SK changes issue.
 
You are correct in stating that when the topic was escalated in a letter to ICANN and an email to ICANN’s Global Stakeholder Engagement representative, the complainant wrote on behalf of a local community group. I apologize that the escalation report did not recognize the individual was acting as a representative of a local community group.

Best regards,
Naela

    Hi Naella
    
    Is it fair to describe this as an email from an "individual" when he claims, with strong evidence to support this claim, that he is writing on behalf of an organisation with close to 10,000 supporters?  As he states in one of his letters:
    
    "NasaDomena.sk has a significant range of supporters. A petition was signed by almost 10,000 people, a number increasing everyday. Initiative also includes 19 web-hosting companies, 13 of TOP 15 .SK registrars, maintaining more than 73% of all registered .SK domains. This initiative is also backed by major Internet service providers and telecommunication companies, as well as popular non-profit organizations."
    
    
    For the avoidance of doubt, my point above is not questioning the response to him, merely the characterisation which implies that he is acting alone and without the strong community support that he appears to have.
    
    kind regards
    Jay

We are submitting this escalation report to you because a community member from .SK elevated his complaint to several individuals within the ICANN organization.  Details are described in the attached report.
