Re: [council] Notes from Council/staff meeting on new gTLDs

[Robin Gross <robin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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
