Re: [ga] International concept

["kidsearch" <kidsearch@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'd like to submit a survey of questions to the ICANN staff and Directors. A list of questions as to how they see their jobs and the role of ICANN. Not a "why did you do this or that" list. Actual nonpartisan questions that ask in general how they see ICANN's role. A WG could also be formed to create this questionaire if they would be willing to answer it.

  Allowing ICANN to become an internationl organization is a bad idea.

  As was well pointed  out in PC World;

  "Also, the U.S. is unlikely to agree to such a change, which would essentially shield ICANN from any liability or judicial supervision," he wrote. (referring to Froomkin -Icannwatch)

  But the title of the article at; http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,130476/article.html
  Reads "ICANN may go private". It might just be me, but, a corporation which exists without stakeholder membership is private. The headline we should be reading is: "ICANN will go public".

  Moving further into isolation from accountabiliy and responsibility is the wrong direction.
  ICANNs job would be so much easier if the were more open and transparent and inclusive.

  I guess an individuals place in all this is to bring as much visibility and hopefully participation as personally possible.
