[Ws2-hr] Welcome and call planning

Mon Aug 1 17:13:26 UTC 2016

Indigenous peoples have not been neglected in ICANN discussions.

One of the reasons the community exception was built into the new GTLD 
policy and then implementation process was specifically to give 
indigenous groups and other "non-modern economy" groups the chance to 
defend terms which were important to them - but which were not 
specifically covered by intellectual property law.  The illustrative 
"dot maori" was referred to often during the policy making process.

It is also an illustration of how policies put in place for a specific 
purpose have been utilised more generally by the domain name 
communty/industry.    Such a rule of unintended consequence is one which 
this working group will need to consider carefully in its work.
