[npoc-voice] Re: Commentary on “The Quest for a 21st Century ICANN: A Blueprint”

[Klaus Stoll <klaus.stoll@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Sam, Dear Friends

Greetings and Thank You Sam for this excellent document. I had the 
pleasure to read it now twice since last night and I honestly think it 
is a very important document not only as a comment on the Strategic 
Panel but also from NPOC and ICANN as a whole, as parts of Sams thinking 
go far beyond the concerns of the panel. I have the feeling that this is 
an important contribution of our constituency to the overall ICANN 
discussion, (although it is clear that the work has been done by Sam). I 
encourage all the NPOC members not only to read but also to comment on 
the paper in order to get a more input,. We also need to get the paper 
disseminated into as many IG arenas as possible. I will send the paper 
as a contribution of NPOC and Sam to the GNSO council which has 
requested input on the Strategic Panel paper and I will also send it to 
circle of IG friends. Sam, I guess you have submitted this directly to 
the Strategic panel, if not, I think it should be done. Any other 
suggestions how NPOC can promote and disseminate the paper. Should it be 
send as a official NPOC submission and statement?
Let's discuss it, this paper is to valuable in many respects not to be 
taken full advantage of.
Yours

Klaus
