outreach to "Internet World" - comments on accountability (and IANA transion) - sending again?tion)

[kilnam chon <chonkn@xxxxxxxxx>]

My comment covers both ICANN accountability and IANA transition.



1.     Background

There are 2.7 billion Internet users in the world now, and the number will
be around 7 billion within 10 years.

These 2.7 ~ 7 billion users are the ICANN customers from over 250 countries.

ICANN participants are typically from around 50 countries now.

ccNSO has 150 countries as its members, but regular participants are from
around 50 countries.

Many of inter-governmental organizations have around 190~200 countries as
their members.



Many countries do not have good understanding on multistakeholder models
and do not practice multistakeholder

Approach even though NTIA specifies the multistakeholder approach for the
IANA transition proposal development.



2.     Base data development

ICANN needs to develop good base data (society, economics,
infrastructure,..)on 200~250 countries and on 2.7 billion

Internet users, possibly with internet index organizations such as Web
Foundation, World Economic Forum.

ICANN may develop good data base on human contacts and organizational
contacts with ICANN support organizations and

regional organizations such as *TLD, RIRs,..

3.     Outreach meetings in each region (and countries)

ICANN may organize regional meetings (and subregional meetings) in each
continent on ICANN (globalization), multistakeholder models and

Practice, and IANA transition among others with ICANN branch offices, ICANN
support organizations, regional name and number organizations.

4.     Meeting content development

For these meetings, ICANN needs to develop various contents including
Multistakeholder models and practice.

5.     Remarks

Hope ICANN starts these outreach efforts starting from the tutorial
development and instructor training as soon as possible (this summer?).

Strongly recommend ICANN to give a tutorial on the multistakeholder
model(s) and practice at every ICANN meeting as well as develop the
standard course with course material in many languages (30~50).

ICANN needs to cover at least all UN member countries (193), or needs to
collaborate with some inter-governmental organizations which cover these
countries (ITU, UNESCO,..).

This may be a good chance for ICANN to develop good working relationship
with (sub-)regional name and number organizations (*TLD, RIRs) through
ICANN branch offices as well as with 200 countries.

i am sending again (with minor modification) to make sure that you receive
my message which i sent through MS Outlook.
