<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html charset=utf-8"></head><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;" class="">Hi everyone,<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I think a community discussion around some of the broader issues associated with the .cat case could be really excellent, if maybe in a more hypothetical way linking to Internet shutdowns. It could certainly be an ideal topic for NCSG to lead on.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I’m trying to think of the correct way to phrase the question, but I had in mind something along the lines of:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">"When does enforcement of government legislative mechanisms on domain registry operators extend beyond proportionality to impact the resiliency of the DNS and fundamental human rights, and what - if any - responsibilities and options exist for ICANN and its community in such circumstances?"</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Separately, I’m also thinking back to the discussion on performance metrics we had a few months ago, and how ICANN is conducting outreach activities. I’m wondering if there might there be an opportunity to host a community session on:</div><div class="">- why we need to conduct outreach;</div><div class="">- what such activities should seek to achieve</div><div class="">- who has roles to play and how we can collaborate</div><div class="">- how do we measure success.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I use the term ‘we’ deliberately because, whilst the primary focus is ICANN’s activity, I personally think its important that this forms part of a collaborative action plan involving governments, businesses and civil society to increase knowledge and sustained participation that supports sustainable growth and development. Such a community session might facilitate this kind of dialogue.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Kind regards,</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Nick</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""><div class="">

<br class="">
As someone who was in the sessions about Open Data in ICANN, I don't agree with this being a cross community session.<br class="">
I could not really see any concrete steps an example of open data use cases and guidance to the community.<br class="">
<br class="">
On the other hand, there are pressing topics that still need to be addressed.<br class="">
<br class="">
In preparation to ICANN63, shouldn't we have a cross community session to re-examine the .cat case?<br class="">
Whatever one's views on the political aspect of it all, the technical and legal aspects are certainly of interest to ICANN community and I would propose we gather a variety of community members who could speak to this. So far governments have spoken a lot about it, but not civil society.<br class="">
<br class="">
The same goes for the WT5 ongoing work. The GAC has request 3 meetings in ICANN60 to discuss the dot-Amazon case. WT5 seems worth at least 1 cross community topic. This has also to be an informed debate, with participants who have pioneered new gtlds and those who are interested in using them. While this seems to me like an important session, I would think it could be a challenge for the new PC NCSG representatives from NCUC, when they are announced. They could call the session: "Why does GAC wants this so much?"<br class="">

Best,<br class="">
