[bc-gnso] posting of individual comments to our list/please do share/ETNO input on draft ATRT recommendations

[Marilyn Cade <marilynscade@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to those BC members who have posted their individual contributions 
regarding AART and also the Applicant Guidebook. That is very helpful to your 
colleagues, and a very useful courtesy within the BC. Thanks, Konstantine, for 
this posting. 
 
By now, all should have seen the USG letter to the Board regarding concerns 
about adherence to the AoC.  I went to the ICANN website and looked at what 
ICANN says they are doing to implement each element.  In most cases, they cite 
work at the GNSO council, PDPs, etc. 
 
As many of you know, I am very concerned that the failure to deliver on the 
economic report leaves out the significant externalities impact -- cost and 
other -- to the existing large trademark/portfolio holder where there are IP 
rights involved in a domain name through affiliation with a trademark. 
 
But, the USG letter is telling for other reasons, and that is that the 
government who negotiated it and who is in fact on the AART, is expressing a 
clear sense that ICANN is not delivering -- within year one, on the very 
commitments that are needed to keep ICANN out of the clutches of various other 
entities. 
 
I am also disturbed to see that once again, staff [and presumably, with the 
agreement of Rod] have eliminated the commitment to 'bottom up, consensus 
based, private sector led organization. This has been an ongoing struggle since 
I was on the President's Strategy Committee [PSC] that formulated many of the 
recommendations in the AoC.  That phrasing is very important to business, and 
especially as we strive to help ICANN board come to a better approach to 
collaborating with the GAC in a constructive dialogue, without changing the 
role or authority of the governments within ICANN. 
 
This will be a stressing week, and an important one. 
 
If you cannot be in Columbia in person, we hope to see you online. 
 
 
Regards
 
Marilyn Cade
BC Chair
