<br>
As someone who was in the sessions about Open Data in ICANN, I don't agree with this being a cross community session.<br>
I could not really see any concrete steps an example of open data use cases and guidance to the community.<br>
<br>
On the other hand, there are pressing topics that still need to be addressed.<br>
<br>
In preparation to ICANN63, shouldn't we have a cross community session to re-examine the .cat case?<br>
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>
<br>
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>
