RE: [bc-gnso] Antony Van Couvering on the upcoming Congressional hearing

[Phil Corwin <psc@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

To watch the live webcast (or the archived webcast, post-hearing) just go to 
http://judiciary.house.gov/index.html ; there will be a link on that home page 
tomorrow morning to the live webcast, or just click on the Hearings & Markups 
tab post-event.

So far as Antony's viewpoint, I am also surprised by the lack of diversity in 
the witness list. Why isn't there a witness from the Department of Commerce to 
give the Administration's viewpoint, as it has certainly been active within the 
GAC on the scorecard? And why isn't there a proponent of new gTLDs, like 
Antony, to represent investor groups who have been waiting for the application 
window to open? Instead, with all respect to BC members who will be testifying, 
there is Kurt and five witnesses who will all (I expect) be critical of ICANN, 
and  the whole new gTLD program, from a generally IP-centric viewpoint. The 
Subcommittee would be better served by hearing a broader range of perspectives.
