[Internal-cg] FW: Please find attached revised summary proposal

[Mueller, Milton L]

Joe,

I would like to suggest some improvements in  the paragraph on the NTIA criterion pertaining to governments.

You wrote:

A range of comments addressed the role of governments.  Among the most relevant: a couple felt that government roles would be too constrained and they would not be able to fulfill all of the criteria of the Tunis Agenda; a couple also highlighted a concern for the possible role future legislation by US government based on concern of jurisdiction; and more commentators focused on what they perceived to be a possible enhanced voting role for the GAC and concerns of governments as owners of ccTLDs in the CSC.  The proposal cannot address all hypothetical situations and has relied on the community processes to find the right balance across the stakeholder equities and operational requirements.  The ICG sees no further action as appropriate at this point, but notes the concerns raised.


I would propose to replace this paragraph with the following statement:

The overwhelming majority of comments agreed that the proposal does not replace NTIA stewardship with a government-led or intergovernmental solution. Some comments felt that governmental roles would be too constrained; others felt that the role of the U.S. government was still too strong due to the retention of U.S. jurisdiction. A few other commentators expressed concerns about the role of government-controlled ccTLDs in the CSC. The ICG notes the concerns raised, but believes that the proposal has relied on the community processes to find the right balance across the stakeholder equities and operational requirements, and thus sees no further action as needed.

A small number of comments expressed concern about the strengthening of the GAC in the new accountability arrangements. The ICG notes that insofar as they justify changes in the proposal, these comments are best addressed by the CCWG on enhanced accountability.

Please note that I found no cross reference in our proposal to the role

of government as multistakeholder participant that would address the

concern raised that such participation may bee seen as at odds with the

NTIA criteria.  I have tried to raise an innocuous addition as a

footnote to deal with the concern in a neutral fashion.  I have

highlighted it in red to facilitate ease of comment.  Those topics

highlighted in yellow are possible places where other more specific work

may supersede this language and be replaced by a cross reference.  There

is one margin question as well.



Thanks.
