Re: [council] Notes from Council/staff meeting on new gTLDs
Hi Olof, Thanks for these notes. There were 2 points in the draft that I had concerns with. 1. Under the "Country, territory and place names" section it says: "It is unclear whether GAC views should trump other views ..." I don't remember hearing anyone at the meeting say GAC views should trump the views of other stake-holders. I don't think anyone suggested that ICANN should no longer be led by the private sector and that anyone stakeholder should be able to trump other stake- holders. Who suggested this at the LA mtg? 2. Also under the "Country, territory and place names" section, a point that I made in LA is missing from these notes. I stated that it was inappropriate to use the Paris Convention to justify not permitting tlds with country names in them since the Paris Convention regulates commercial speech ONLY - not ALL speech. So I think this point, which was made in the LA mtg, should be included in the notes. Thanks. Best, Robin
