Michael Karanicolas on the report itself, it is really
excellent! You and your colleagues did great work here.</font></font></p>

here and there, but having missed the discussion I did not want
to go too far. The "hotline" though, really needs work. The
Navex report made many excellent recommendations, is there any
possibility of revisiting after ICANN implements them, other
than the five year review you recommend? We need better
mechanisms for independent review of a number of issues, and
certainly whistleblower reports and potential appeals for retaliation
are two that seem to leap out.</font></font></p>

in and make further comments about the overall difficulty of
finding anything on the ICANN website. But thanks both for
this!!</font></font></p>

<div>Sorry about the delay in responding - I was on another
deadline today. The Comments have been fairly quiet so far.
There's been a statement from a lawyer from the <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap">National Internet Exchange of India with some fairly loopy ideas (like creating an "abuse team" to handle vexatious requests). There's also been a very nice letter signed by 53 NGOs fully endorsing the Recommendations. And that's it. Which means that ICANN staff/ICANN legal are likely going to wait until just before the deadline to put in their response.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap">
</span></div>
<div><font color="#000000"><span style="white-space:pre-wrap">As a result, it may be helpful to reinforce the need for more transparency from ICANN legal, which I'm sure is going to be contentious, but which I believe many on this list may see as a priority. It's great that the Submission mentions the need to respond despite competing work pressures, as I expect we'll get pushback there as well. </span></font></div>
<div><font color="#000000"><span style="white-space:pre-wrap">
</span></font></div>
<div><font color="#000000"><span style="white-space:pre-wrap">The only other thing I would suggest adding is to maybe reinforce Recommendation #14, which narrows the public interest test so it allows for disclosures in the public interest but not any refusal on public interest grounds. This is actually enormously important. If ICANN can refuse a request on vague "public interest" grounds, that basically renders the list of exceptions worthless. Not sure if we'll get specific pushback from ICANN on that front, but the NIEI lawyer is arguing against it, so would be helpful to reinforce.</span></font></div>

<p>Hi all</p>
<p>Hoping that you might be able to jump in on this.
See doc below.<br>
</p>
<p>Michael please have a look at the comments so far and
your thoughts as author would be greatly appreciated.
What's missing - anything we should be focused on?<br>
</p>
<p>Its due imminently and there has not really been enough
comment.</p>
<p>As my membership status is somewhat in flux perhaps you
could circulate this more broadly to NCSG discus and PC
to get input.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

<pre>Hi Stephanie,
Actually, Matthew Shears has taken over the lead on drafting the NCSG
response to the transparency report (we thought it better that he do
it - given that I was one of the group's Rapporteurs).
Maybe he can offer an update? The deadline for submissions is in a week.
Best,
Michael

<pre>Thanks Indeed Mamadou, I think that Michael Karanicolas was doing a draft on
the transparency report but beyond that I am not sure who is working on
first drafts (I just know it is not me!!)
Please folks, we need some volunteers here.

Thanks for sharing, Mamadou. I hope the NCSG will be able to respond to most
of these consultations. If we have any members from Ethiopia or Eritrea (or
who can read the Ethiopic script), we could work together on a response to
the below-mentioned Proposal for Ethiopic Script Root Zone Label Generation
Rules.
