Tijani:
Thanks so much for the email. I understand better now where you are coming from on this issue. I have a broader view of the term "private sector" than do you (and some others on the list). I am using the term the same way Larry Strickling mentions it in his written congressional testimony from last year -- http://www.ntia.doc.gov/speechtestimony/2014/testimony-assistant-secretary-strickling-hearing-ensuring-security-stability-re. According to his testimony, we are on a process to "privatize" the function -- it is in this context of how I am referring to the term. I don't support removing the term "private sector" as we are moving down the path towards "privatization" -- I am fine if we want to add some more context.
Best,
Jon

> The millennium summit found that it will be better to have those noisy people inside the room rather than making trouble in the street, and the first experience of accepting all stakeholders in the meetings was the world summit on information society (WSIS). Nobody thought that it will be possible to make them work with the governments in an organized and efficient manner, but it happened. I will not be long on how we created an organizational structure (Civil Society Bureau) and a content and themes structure for the preparation of the substantial contributions, and how we surprised the ITU (organizer) and the governments by the seriousness and the depth of our participation.

> I consider that the best use of the multi-stakeholder model is in ICANN, and I’m proud of it. It is not the private sector model. It is multi-stake holder where Governments, private sector (contracted parties and business sector), ccTLDs, technical community, end users, etc. have their say. If you call all those stakeholders “private sector”, I think there is a problem of terminology. If you consider that only the private sector should have a say, this is a different thing. But I’m sure this is not your intention.

It is a fundamental tenet of the multi-stakeholder model that should not be ignored in the document. If being explicit about it would polarize the folks on the list or those reviewing these accountability recommendations, so be it. Let's have the debate and settle the issue. We should not sweep the proverbial dust under the rug on an issue that is a core value to the model. Being explicit should not create animosity, but rather clarity of expectations. The NTIA was explicit in 2014 when it announced the transition. I don't see why we shouldn't be as well.

> I raised this matter at one of our call and asked for deletion of that term.
> All stakeholder, irrespective being private, public, and etc. SHALL be treated equally. This issue was raised at various occasions by NTIA indicating / emphasizing that no single category of the stakeholder should benefit from preference over other categories of stakeholders .This term was used at very early stage of the introduction of the ICANN into the business. Over the time when we discussed that the process should be inclusive, democratic, then it was agreed by everybody that no category of the stakeholder should have any preference, what so ever, or should have a preferred treatment over other categories of the stakeholders.
> In view of the above, I urge you to kindly correct such a big mistake which if it is not corrected would put us in a very delicate situation that we did not respect impartiality and neutrality in treating various categories of the stakeholders.
> There are 4 or 5 times that such a reference to »private led multistakeholder are referred to in the doc.
