Thanks Steve.

I may not be getting the point you are making, but I would feel it 
inappropriate for the BC as a group to recommend use of an organisation that is 
so closely linked with one specific TLD (Dot XXX).

I would prefer a more general comment along the lines of "in general, the BC is 
in favor of industry self-regulation and recommends that for the specific 
industries outlined in the GAC's advice on safeguards, an appropriate entity be 
selected to provide guidance to help each industry sector self regulate."

Just very rough wording, but you get the general idea of my comments I'm sure ;)

Thanks,

For many of the safeguards requested by the GAC, the BC might recommend 
industry self-regulation via IFFOR (The International Foundation for Online 
Responsibility).  (link<http://iffor.org/safeguard>)

See Kieren McCarthy's article on CircleID 
(link<http://www.circleid.com/posts/20130510_what_new_gtld_applicants_need_is_a_quick_lightweight_answer_to_gac/>)
   note: Kieren serves on IFFOR's Policy Council.

Since we are currently drafting BC comments on GAC advice, it would be helpful 
to hear BC member feedback on whether we should recommend IFFOR

This may have been what Marilyn and Ron were getting at during the last two 
conference calls.
