Re: [pdp-pcceg-feb06] GNSO PDP Feb 06: Proposed Work Plan

[Mawaki Chango <ki_chango@xxxxxxxxx>]

Liz,

Me again... to correct an oversight. About the "impact on onstituency
analysis" - this was in fact the point I wanted to make on the last
call, but there was a problem with the line. As I understand the
related bylaws sections, d.1.iv and e.3, it's about anlyzing "how the
issue would affect the constituency." Allow me to provide you with my
view, since we are running out of time.

Though a few individual NCUC members may have business in the realm
of ICANN activities, at one level or another, this seems far to be a
largely shared feature of our members, and thus, could not define how
the constituency as a whole would be affected by the outcome of the
issue at hand. Rather our deliberations are often articulated around
what we perceive to be in the public interest and for the respect
and/or the improvement of individuals' rights (that's what I've seen
and understood so far). This appears in the rationale or reasoning in
our statement, since we have to, and do justify or explain our
position in such statements.

Therefore, we may not have much to add in a separate note or section,
to address this question - unless we conduct a survey, or a review
(of the kind of the one the LSE's just done of the GNSO) to find out
about how the business of each individual member organization would
be impacted by the issue, which, I believe, would be way much heavier
than what is being requested here.

So, if you accept this response, I state that to the best of my
knowledge, NCUC has no further input to submit for inclusion in the
next iteration of the TF Preliminary report. 

Thank you,

Mawaki
