Hi,<br>
<ol>
<li>Is there a way to see the concerns in the conversation NCUC
thread re "the arbitrary use of FACEBOOK for the ICANN Fellows"?</li>
<li>Is it within our mandate as TTF to consider, discuss and
advise?</li>
<li>I don't quite understand how the article relates to anything
of ICANN or the ICANN Fellows.</li>
<li>Specific to the article issues of Internet access, Internet
literacy which are the actual challenges related to the Facebook
Free Basics on-ramp, they may seem better tackled by another I*
organisation.</li>
</ol>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>In a recent discussion on the NCUC list we saw a serious
backlash to the arbitrary use of FACEBOOK for the ICANN
Fellows. </div>
<div>This was retracted but its illustrative of the lack of
awareness of issues facing many folks that don't have access
to Facebook or have serious concerns about Facebook rules</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am adding to this discussion an article on THE VERGE on
Facebook issues </div>
