RE: [gnso-review-dt] FW: GNSO review

["Gomes, Chuck" <cgomes@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am really bothered by the ongoing mischaracterization of the bicameral house 
structure as an 11th  hour compromise.  It's fine to argue for adding questions 
on structure but please base your arguments on facts not inaccurate 
characterizations.  I have repeatedly asked for specific examples illustrating 
the failure of the house structure in policy development and have only received 
broad generalizations.

Dear colleagues,

Thanks for sending this mail along, Jen.  I support Philip's list of review 
items.  Just want to weigh in on this with the request that we consider adding 
these elements to the 360 review.

To quote Philip: " Without this breadth the review will be inadequate. "

Kind regards,

RA

Hi everyone,

I am forwarding an email from Philip Sheppard of the Brand Registry Group, 
commenting on the transcript of our most recent meeting.  I have copied him 
here so that you may include him in any replies to his comments.  I do also 
have a request out to the SIC to clarify if their intent is to cover structural 
issues separately or if we should include it in our recommended scope.  This 
will be forwarded out as soon as received.

I look forward to continuing our discussion on list and to meeting in person in 
London.  

With kindest regards,

Jennifer

Jen,
please forward this to the list for me.
I have also send a subscribe request but that has been forwarded to the list 
owner.

---------------------------------------

I just read the transcript of the 5 June GNSO review group call.
I was especially interested in the comments  (from Ron Andruff and others) on 
ensuring the survey asks broad questions such as challenging the Houses 
structure.  Ron rightly pointed out there was no objective rationale for
this - it was an eleventh hour negotiated compromise.   

In general, speaking on behalf of new stakeholders to ICANN, we would hope the 
GNSO review survey would allow opinion on the rationale for (and 
representativeness of):
- constituencies
- stakeholder groups
- houses
- Council
- Non com appointees
- liaisons 

as well as seeking to resolve: 
- how best to involve the public interest , and
- how to embrace ICANN's new registry stakeholder groups such as brand, geos, 
communities.
  
Without this breadth the review will be inadequate.
