[council] FW: NomCom appointee skill sets

[Heather Forrest]

Dear colleagues,

I read Brian's suggested addition of IP law to the skillset as motivated by the specification of certain relevant areas of the law but not others. If we articulate the skill set at a higher level of abstraction (knowledge of and experience in relation to law relevant to the DNS), would that satisfy all concerns?

Best wishes,

Heather

Hello Susan.


- At the end of the day consumer protection, insuring that the domain name system is safe and secure, should be one of our highest priorities.


I agree with you that consumer protection is a justifiable and proper rationale for the creation and extension of intellectual monopoly rights and has been deemed so in Anglo-American jurisprudence, at least, since the Bakers Marking Law of 1266. We may on occasion disagree with the structure and scope of such rights but I'm delighted there seems to be some practical agreement on the purpose of the rights themselves.


-We could restructure the list

International law which includes the following:
     Data protection
     Privacy
     Consumer rights
     Human rights
     Competition law
     Intellectual property law


I think this is a fine and practical proposal that I support.

Thanks so much for your contribution.

Regards,

Ed
