I guess I'm not entirely clear on the distinction between "Public
Interest" and the "Interests of the Stakeholders." In my
view, the component organizations (GNSO, ccNSO, SSAC, ALAC, etc.) and their
subordinate organizations & constituencies, were the components of the
"Public Interests." Or are we saying that this term is more
than the sum of its parts?<br>
<br>
Looking forward to some clarifying dialogue on this.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Scope document following the Cartagena meeting. Bearing in mind that we
should be aiming to communicate our scope of work to both ICANN insiders and
those not so familiar with the context of these review teams, I have amended
the draft scope to add in context from the AoC, including quoting the fact that
the team is constituted under the AoC, the relevant paragraph (9.3.1) and other
overarching principles contained within the AoC relating to ICANN's obligations
to make policy in the public interest and "not just in the interests of a
particular set of stakeholders" (para 4).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

hope we will discuss in London, is to what extent should we be looking at the
policy process which has led to the current WHOIS policy - because it seems to
me that these overarching principles about public interest vs interests of
particular stakeholders is in part answered by a look at (1) where does
responsibility for Whois policy formation sit within the ICANN organisation (2)
how do the relevant strands (gNSO, GAC, SSAC) that we see referenced in the
background materials provided by staff fit together, and what role does the
board play and (3) with regard to WHOIS policy, what mechanisms/processes are
in place to ensure that the end result is made in the public interest?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

DNS are made in the public interest and are accountable and transparent"

in the DNS marketplace" (paragraph 3(c)), and that the outcomes of ICANN's
private coordinating process should "reflect the public interest...and not
just the interests of a particular set of stakeholders" (paragraph 4).
