[council] FW: FW: [Gnso-newgtld-wg] Update from the Co-Chairs on Geographic Names Sessions @ ICANN 59

In response, I believe -- and again, this is a personal view at this time -- that the starting point for any compromise should be a proposal that is limited to Geo terms and that proposes some discrete limits on governmental powers. This strawman allows any government to add any Geo, culturally significant, or any other term to the proposed  RGN without any limitation and without even the necessity for an underlying national law.


Second, I would hope that the entire Council would oppose any attempt to move a gTLD issue to a CCWG. That could be the beginning of the end of our powers and to private sector/civil society leadership. The GAC has ample opportunity to provide input to a PDP WG and of course can provide GAC advice in regard to any Final Report that is approved by Council.

Hi,


Just want to point out that this is just one example of a possible
starting point for  a proposal.  what we were trying to do is point out
that there are possible solution that compromise among the various
points of view.  As in any compromise we may find, it will seem odious
in part to everyone.


I would also like to point out that we are under pressure to allow this
issue to go to a CCWG.
