+1 to Malcolm's comment on how much has been achieved.<br>

I am sorry that I was not able to attend Paris, but may I ask a
question about the amendment including international conventions in:<br>

local law and through
open and transparent processes that enable competition and open

Did the group consider the situation where two or more authoritarian
countries sign an international statement or convention recognizing
that the DNS in their countries can only be coordinated by their
country institutions or worse recognizing that it can only be done
by multilateral organizations etc. Would this constitute an
"international convention" - a much less universal term than
"international law" - and hence would ICANN be bound by this bylaw
to recognize this? Hence not be able to run a complete Root Zone in
the IANA, not be able to enter into registrar contracts for
registrars in those countries etc.<br>

<pre wrap="">Becky,
These papers looks very good, and shows how much we have achieved. We
seem to be just about done, so congratulations.
I can find on the paper just one note of disagreement still being
recorded, relating to the appointment of the IRP Provider.
* Greg had proposed that the appointment process be conducted by ICANN
and the community jointly.
* I had said I thought that this was likely to be unworkable, and that
it would be sufficient to have ICANN consult the community on the terms
of the tender process, but selection itself should be by ICANN.
Where did we get to on this? I remember a back-and-forth between me and
Greg on this list, but don't remember it being discussed by the group.
-> If it hasn't been decided by WP2 collectively, may I ask that you
test the group's opinion as to whether they prefer my approach or Greg's?
-> If it has been decided and I just missed it, and the collective view
was to prefer Greg's proposal, you may remove the footnote noting my
disagreement: it is not my view that this is such a serious issue that I
would want to preserve my objection as a minority statement to go into
the Final Report for Public Comment.
Kind Regards,
Malcolm.
