RE: [bc-gnso] RE: ICC's informal contribution: Impact of new gTLDs on ICANN structures

Ayesha,


Thank you for sending this along.  I think you have hit on at least three 
things that will certainly need to be addressed -- a rapid increase in 
participation, the likely faster-than-all growth of the contracted parties and 
the increased interest for any single entity to have an interest in multiple 
constituencies and stakeholder groups.  It is likely that the upcoming GNSO 
review will address those changes.


One think you suggest that I had not heard before but makes a lot of sense is 
the need for uniform voting rights in this new era and across all SOs and ACs.  
I know that each island in the ICANN archipelago currently controls its voting 
procedures, but as the multiple interests of individual entities bridge two, 
three or more of them, uniform voting rights make a lot of sense for, well, the 
sense of it.


Cheers,


Berard

Dear BC colleagues,
 
Attached please find ICC’s informal contribution on the impact of the new gTLD 
programme on the ICANN structures and priorities.  
The informal contribution is also available at: 
http://www.iccwbo.org/advocacy-codes-and-rules/areas-of-work/digital-economy/documents/
 
This informal contribution is a compilation of input received from members of 
ICC’s Commissions on the Digital Economy and Intellectual Property to a survey 
we sent out to get feedback on these matters. This input provides a range of 
views on some issues, and is meant to enrich the discussions going on 
informally within ICANN. This contribution does not reflect consensus 
positions.  Rather, it highlights a range of priorities from the diverse ICC 
membership. 
 
This input has been sent to ICANN leaders as an informal compilation of our 
survey results. We hope that this will be a useful contribution to discussions 
on these matters.
 
Kind regards,
Ayesha
