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