RE: [gnso-restruc-dt] object to proposal to change name of Non-Contracting Parties House

There may be a lack of understanding here, so please let me try and clarify
the background to this request. This request was made as ISPs are NOT
'users' and the proposed term is a much more accurate reflection of the make
up of that house. The term 'providers was initially widely used in the past
but dropped once it became clear (particularly to the Board) that ISPs were
indeed 'providers' as much as other parties.

 

Splitting the GNSO down the middle between contracted and non contracted
parties is a sub division that does provide a negative perception to the
outside world and that divide shouldn't be seen as the basis for all policy
development.

 

Robin - I hope that having provided that information the NCUC will
reconsider there stance on this. 

 

Regards

 

Tony

Subject: [gnso-restruc-dt] object to proposal to change name of
Non-Contracting Parties House

 

One point on today's draft document:


After internal discussion, NCUC objects to Philip's proposal to change the
name of the Non-Contracting Parties House to the "Users and Providers" House
and we prefer to leave it as "Non-Contracting Parties" House since it is
better alignment with the other house, the "Contracting Parties House". Also
adding on "providers" is just too ambiguous and will likely lead to
confusion as to what kind of providers. Registrars are a "provider" of sorts
for example. So NCUC does not accept the proposed name change of the house.

 

Thanks,

Robin
