<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>thank you for developing the draft report on this difficult and important subject.<br></div>
i would like to comment on a few topics to improve the report.<br><br></div>1. internet users; 2.7 billion users now, around 40%<br></div> there is fairly good consensus on rapid increase on the internet users in the coming decade,<br>
</div> and we expect over 5 billion users or more by 2020, primarily due to low cost smart phones <br></div> and tablets.<br></div> the challenge is <br></div> - how to facilitate these users to learn the internet.<br>
</div> - how to outreach the 5 billions on over 200 countries to participate icann activity meaningfully.<br><br></div>2. remote hub<br></div> travelling to icann meetings in the era of 5 billion internet users from 200 countries is not good enough.<br>
</div> we need to use internet technology for icann participation including remote hubs.<br></div> we may experiment with the remote hub-based participation with good facilitation in several cities<br></div> around the world such as Lagos, Cairo, New Delhi, Sao Paulo and cities with icann branches with good<br>
communication links and video/audio facilities initially.<br><br></div>3. multistakeholder model<br></div> multistakeholder models are being discussed without any good references on documents, and tutorial video<br>
</div> even though they are used as the primary scheme for icann and other internet organizations.<br></div> icann shall develop a base document with a tutorial ppf and video to be used at icann and other internet<br>
</div> organizations. this is particularly important as NTIA requires the internet community to develop a transition<br></div> proposal by the internet community (3 billion internet users from 200 countries) with the multistakeholder approach.<br>
</div> do you know how many countries have good understanding on the multiskakeholder models and practice<br></div> it in the world today? i would like to see icann to take a lead on this challenge with collaboration of other internet<br>
</div> organizations.<br><br></div>kilnam chon<br></div>
