Hi Alice<br>
<br>
I would also note that the working group responded to the task it
was given by the Board:
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;
charset=windows-1252">
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;
charset=windows-1252">
<br>
<meta name="Title" content="">
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:17.0pt;font-family:Helvetica;
mso-ansi-language:EN-AU"><br>
"The Working Group was formed by the Board to <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:17.0pt;font-family:Helvetica;
mso-ansi-language:EN-AU">(1) identify the different purposes for
which ICANN’s
Geographic Regions are used; <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:17.0pt;font-family:Helvetica;
mso-ansi-language:EN-AU">(2) determine whether the uses of
ICANN’s Geographic
Regions (as currently defined, or at all) continue to meet <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:17.0pt;font-family:Helvetica;
mso-ansi-language:EN-AU">the requirements of the relevant
stakeholders; and <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:17.0pt;font-family:Helvetica;
mso-ansi-language:EN-AU">(3) submit proposals for community and
Board consideration
relating to the current and future uses and definition of the
ICANN Geographic
Region"<br>
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
There was no real discussion of the global strategic challenges
facing ICANN in a world where Internet activity and power is
shifting dramatically away from the hubs of the late 1990s which
underlie ICANN's present structures.<br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
The sections on page 15 talking about change in number of regions
say to reduce the number would be too burdensome on travel for
some members of the community and to increase them will increase
the costs of the support. Hardly a strategic analysis.<br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
I think this issue is a very important one for the strategic
viability of ICANN and for that matter the general acceptance of a
single Root.<br>
</p>
