Fellow registrars, please find attached the IPC constituency statement.
I will be writing a very rough draft of a statement from us for TF1 and
submitting it to the list shortly.

Paul - a general question about TF1.

Why is the TF focused on specific technical solutions instead of desired policy outcomes? No good can come from a technical solution specified by a policy committee.

Personally, I have a very big problem with the direction of this TF and am very concerned that it has gone a long way down the wrong path.

I strongly recommend that our submission takes a strong position on this point. Promoting diversity and competition are key components of ICANN's mission. Developing and promoting technical implementations are not.

If TF1 is developing requirements that are going to be fed into a technical implementation, then that is very much a different thing - and if it is, we should recognize it as being different and move forward on *those* terms.
