Hi Chuck
NCSG have been looking at the motion re Rec6 CWG
Would you regard the following as a friendly amendment?
.... change the wording of the 2nd RESOLVED clause, which currently reads:
"WHEREAS, numerous stakeholders have expressed concerns about the proposed
implementation of the GNSO Council's Recommendation 6 regarding procedures for
addressing culturally objectionable and/or sensitive strings;"
to (proposed changes in bold) -
"WHEREAS, various stakeholders have expressed concerns about the proposed
implementation of the GNSO Council's Recommendation 6 regarding strings that
contravene generally-accepted legal norms relating to morality and public order
that are recognized under international principles of law;"
To many of our members as well as NCSG colleagues on this working group, the
new wording is a more accurate description of what Rec 6 states, as opposed to
a broader concept of cultural "sensitivities" or "objectionable" strings.
Cheers
Rosemary

Subject: [council] Motion to Support Rec6 CWG
It was suggested to me that it would be a good idea to document our support for
the community working group that the GAC requested to discuss new gTLD
recommendation 6 on morality and public order. In follow-up to that
suggestion, I am making the following motion.
Chuck

WHEREAS, ICANN aims to ensure that the New gTLD Program contains appropriate
safeguards to address culturally objectionable and/or sensitive strings, while
protecting internationally recognized freedom of expression rights;
WHEREAS, numerous stakeholders have expressed concerns about the proposed
implementation of the GNSO Council's Recommendation 6 regarding procedures for
addressing culturally objectionable and/or sensitive strings;
WHEREAS, the GNSO Council desires to participate in a joint working group with
other interested Supporting Organizations (SO's) and Advisory Committee (AC's)
to provide guidance to the ICANN new gTLD Implementation Team and the ICANN

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT:
RESOLVED, that the GNSO Council supports the formation of a cross-community
working group to provide guidance to the ICANN new gTLD Implementation Team and
the ICANN Board with regard to the implementation of recommendation 6;
RESOLVED FURTHER, that Stéphane Van Gelder shall serve as the GNSO Council
