RE: [soac-mapo] Cartagena session on Rec 6

["Mary Wong" <Mary.Wong@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the clarification, Mark - my apologies that I had overlooked
the reference to the CWG's work in the GAC letter of 22 November. To the
extent that the GAC takes up consideration of the CWG recommendations
during its deliberations in Cartagena, I think it will certainly
alleviate concerns that may have arisen amongst some in the ICANN
community that either the cross-community cooperative process or its
consensus-based outcomes, or both, can being disregarded in favor of
direct engagement between more well-defined or entrenched interest
groups on any particular issue.
 
Thanks and cheers
Mary

As the third GAC participant, I agree with Bertrand's and Frank's
statements: I regard it as a focus group with a clearly defined set of
objectives: so a very valuable cooperative-based initiative designed to
move things forward. I had expected the outcome - the CWG
recommendations - to be considered by the GAC in tandem with the
proposal tabled by Greece in Brussels.   
 
The work of the group and the recommendations were referred to in the
GAC's letter of 22 November to the Board (attached). 
 
Best regards

Subject: [soac-mapo] Cartagena session on Rec 6

Has there been any further information on the above session, scheduled
for Wednesday 8 December at 11 a.m. (e.g. panelists, moderator, scope
etc.)?
 
Unfortunately - particularly in the context of our recent discussion
over the likelihood of any GAC comment on this group's recommendations -
it's being held at exactly the same time as the GAC discussion of new
gTLDs and the AGB :(
 
BTW, my thanks to Frank and Bertrand for their thoughts on the GAC
issue. Like I said, I understood that the CWG Rec 6 proposals were not
ones endorsed by the GAC and that they were not participating in the
group either as GAC delegates or officially of their respective
governments. Nonetheless, since the GAC had expressed support for the
CWG concept and mandate, it is unfortunate that GAC communications on
the issue since then have not acknowledged or referred to the existence
of the CWG recommendations. 
 
Since the AGB, including, specifically, Rec 6, is on the GAC agenda for
Cartagena, I hope that some consideration will be given to the CWG
recommendations during the discussions.
 
Cheers, and safe travels to those heading out to Cartagena,
Mary
