<p>Hi Sam</p>
<p>Interesting take. I agree with you on your first framing. <br>
</p>
<p>On the second though, isn't ICANN already doing just that through
GE/GSE, etc. <br>

comments here with a particular perspective. <br>
There are two ways to frame this question and while they may
appear to just be variations of the same question, they are
not. <br>
<br>
The first framing is:<i> Should ICANN extend its internal
pdp-wg focus beyond the stability and security of the DNS? </i><br>
<br>
The second framing is a bit more complications and needs a
Whereas preface:<br>

<ul>
<li><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">Whereas global
Internet ecosystem governance policy issues and policy
making are growing rapidly </font></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">Whereas ICANN,
with its particular remit, is a stakeholder in global
Internet ecosystem governance</font></li>
</ul>
<p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"><i>S</i><i>hould
ICANN respond as a stakeholder within the broader
multistakeholder global Internet ecosystem policy
development process?</i></font></p>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">My own assessment of
the situation is that ICANN should answer NO to the first
framing of the question, <br>
but that it should answer YES to the engagement as found in
the second framing of the question. <br>
<br>
The global Internet ecosystem is beginning to struggle with
how it builds the structures and processes for policy making
within the broader global Internet ecosystem. <br>
ICANN is a stakeholder and should participant in that process,
but how ICANN should do that is not an easy question to
answer. <br>
But being not easy does not mean that ICANN should ignore the
challenge. <br>
<br>
ICANN should be a stakeholder participant from the start,
initially helping to build the structures and processes for
policy making within the broader global Internet ecosystem.<br>
For ICANN not to take an active stakeholder role in that wider
process would likely mean that may matters of policy substance
that currently reside within ICANN's remit would<br>
slowly erode away to other global Internet ecosystem policy
forums, and slowly reduce ICANN to a solely technology-centric
policy focus. <br>
The challenge for ICANN is not YES or NO, but YES and HOW?<br>
<br>
To repeat my position. The second question is:</font><font
face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"><i> S</i><i>hould ICANN
respond as a stakeholder within the broader multistakeholder
global Internet ecosystem policy development process?<br>
<br>
</i>My position is YES and the internal ICANN dialogue should
be around the HOW. <br>
This, of course, goes way being a single question for a
meeting with the Board. <br>
