<p>I want to underscore the central point in Julf's comments. <br clear="none">
</p>
<p>The GAC is not a tight and informed coalition of representatives
of national governments. It has some key players that send highly
knowledgeable contingents (e.g. the European Community). However,
many representatives are under-equipped either for knowledgeable
engagement in GAC business (and much less ICANN's remit) or to
knowledgeably represent the nuances of their country's positions
on issues that are on the ICANN agenda. <br clear="none">
</p>
<p>It is one thing to remain on guard against GAC's potential
influence as a camel's nose under the edge of the ICANN
multistakeholder tent. It is an additional concern to worry about
the internal dynamic within GAC as it arrives at its advisory
positions. <i>Virtually none of the individual GAC countries
would tolerate such an internal dynamic within their own
national policy discussions. </i><br clear="none">
</p>
<p>My own (possibly unpopular) view is that national civil society
constituencies should dig into how their own governments select
and inform their GAC representatives. Internet governance, and
GAC's role in ICANN would be improved if that domestic engagement
were promoted.<i> How many of us know who is, or engage with, our
government's GAC representative, or even which department of our
government they come from? >>>> <a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="https://gacweb.icann.org/display/gacweb/GAC+Representatives">

<pre>I really like Michael's suggestion:
</pre>
<blockquote type="cite">
<pre>Could we ask the representatives more generally about how they develop
their policy positions, and whether and how they consult with human
rights/privacy/data protection voices in government, or with domestic
NGOs or civil society voices, in formulating the policy positions that
they bring to ICANN - maybe phrasing the question a bit more broadly
than just asking directly about the RPMs. I feel like this might need
to be approached delicately, but it may be a good question to get the
GAC delegates themselves to reconsider...
</pre>

<pre>W§e have to remember that a lot of GAC members are fairly junior,
pretty new to ICANN, and not always very well briefed. They also
often biased to see GNSO as "A club of domain industry lobbyists with
a small group of free speech academics". I think it would be good to
point out that we speak on behalf of civil society in their countries
too, and encourage the GAC members, as representatives of their
governments, to extend the sphere of people they talk to and seek
advice from.
