Re: [ga] BC mailing list now has a public archive/MODERATED

[Hugh Dierker <hdierker2204@xxxxxxxxx>]

I note this is the same Philip Shephard from the BC trying to derail consumer 
advocacy regarding business practices, onto a cyber-crime syndicate(possibly 
aniti-cyber crime???).
 
Here is his piece off the "new" BC list: 
http://forum.icann.org/lists/bc-gnso/msg00000.html ;
Here is his piece off the consumer list:
AIM support for this petition

Subject: AIM support for this petition 
From: "Philip Sheppard" <philip.sheppard@xxxxxx>

The stated mission of this new constituency is:

"The major areas of consumer interest related to the Internet are issues such 
as fraud,
spam, phishing, and identity theft; .... While "cybercrime" issues do not 
directly fall
within ICANN's remit, none of this activity is possible without using the DNS 
for abusive
and fraudulent activity. Thus, the focus of the Consumers Constituency will be 
to ensure
that consumers' safety, security and stability concerns regarding the DNS are 
adequately
represented within ICANN policy development". 


This aspect of DNS development has been neglected for too long in ICANN
This are the hidden "externalities" of ICANN policy development where the costs 
are borne by
users.

AIM, representing major blue chip and SME consumer-focused companies welcomes 
this petition.
A stable internet is more than technical stability. It is an Internet that does 
not have its
business potential compromised by fear of fraud and exposure to criminality.

Hi folks,

The Business Constituency mailing list is now unmoderated and archived for the
public at:

http://forum.icann.org/lists/bc-gnso/

(the link to the new archive should appear at
http://gnso.icann.org/commercial-and-business/ eventually)

As one of the BC members long in favour of the increased transparency that this
kind of list brings, I'm hopeful that all other GNSO Constituencies make the
same choice, as per the discussions in relation to GNSO Constituency renewals
at:

http://forum.icann.org/lists/gnso-constituency-renewals/msg00005.html

or be compelled by the ICANN Board to do so as a condition of their renewals
within the GNSO.

Happy reading!

Sincerely,

George Kirikos

P.S. As usual, I speak only for myself and/or my own company, and not for the
BC.
