Re: AW: [council] JAS
I am fine with the concept, but the
implementation may be problematic. It is not
clear *who* would sit down at that table and
agree to a compromise that would then with any
certainty be approved by the full body. Probably
possible for the ALAC because the views there are
not nearly as divided, but not nearly as obvious for the GNSO.
But I am all for trying if others are optimistic.

convinced that the GNSO and ALAC "scopes" wouldn't give space for that.

Betreff: RE: [council] JAS
Andrei,
Despite what some have been reporting, the
reason for opposing the initial motion for JAS
had nothing to do with opposing new TLDs,
killing existing registries, forcing business to
incumbents, etc. The reason for opposition is
simply that the GNSO Council and its working
groups cannot and should not be delving into
matters that are beyond its scope even if the
Board or the GAC want that work to be done by the GNSO.
The GNSO Council does not have the right to
authorize work that does not fall within the
scope of the GNSO. That is not a value judgment
as to whether the work can and should be done,
but rather a recognition of the fact that if the
GNSO itself does not have the authority to delve
into certain matters (as determined by its
charter or bylaws), it cannot delegate those
matters to others. If the Board wants that work
done, then assuming the work is in the scope of
ICANN as a whole, the Board can delegate those
matters to its own working group.

Guys, the question is not closed. My crystal ball gives me a picture
that JAS issues will boomerang to gNSO after strong GAC statement
that larger part of the world was not considered in details.
It may end up with some kind of weird fast track 2.0 developed
without gNSO. I really don't want us to face it in the future.
JAS won't kill dot.coms, they will not rape registration business.
Let them work as ALAC + GNSO with good diversity and no artificial
limitations. There is alternative way of doing things: just do
it and spend 90% on substance, rather than procedures.
This is not a procedural game. This is real world with
real politics.
