[council] NTIA letter to ICANN

[Adrian Kinderis]

If the USG had not have sent that letter would we have felt the need to “re-open” the discussion?
As you have said, we already tried and got nowhere. What has changed?
I believe it is up to the Board to determine if this is an issue. We don’t take direction from any one government last time I checked. I won’t even ask if the GNSO Council would want immediate discussions if the Australian Government sent an letter of the same ilk...
I am not interested in re-opening any debate or discussion and strongly suggest the GNSO Council observe and move on.

I agree we won't be in a position to respond at the moment, and certainly not in the next week, but my thought was: (1) given that we'd had a WG looking at the issue which reached no consensus, the Council as managers could (should?) at least start a discussion as to whether or not to re-open the issue within the GNSO community; and (2) in view of its potential implications for the new gTLD program, if we do decide to start discussing it, it might be useful to do so ahead of the special Board meeting on Monday.

I am not sure to what end?
Why would we discuss this?
Haven’t we already got a full agenda? Why is this particular letter so important. I am not convinced the GNSO Council is in a position to respond nor assist here...

Despite the unfortunate timing (16 June) I think this is an important development and support discussing it on Saturday. We may need to have a follow up discussion, but it would be good to have at least an initial conversation as soon as possible.

[council] NTIA letter to ICANN

Councillors,

For those of you that haven't seen this, here is a link to the letter NTIA has sent to ICANN re the new gTLD program.

 http://www.icann.org/en/correspondence/strickling-to-dengate-thrush-16jun11-en.pdf

This is one of the topics that we could discuss during our Saturday morning session, if there is interest in doing so.

Stéphane
