As far as ICANN is concerned, I’m fascinated by your proposal to leverage the Registry Transition Process to seek better protections for .org registrants!! I have to admit that I had not considered that at all, and think there is something to work with on this - the beginnings of a strategy that might actually make practical sense to pursue.</div><div class=""><br class=""/></div><div class="">I also very much like your proposed approach of focusing on contractually binding obligations regarding PIR, instead of addressing concerns on who owns it, at least so far as ICANN is concerned. I know you mentioned this on-list here, but would prefer to give you a hard time than give you the satisfaction of outright agreeing with you. :-)</div><div class=""><br class=""/></div><div class="">Thanks again.</div><div class=""><br class=""/></div><div class="">Amr (the wimp) ;-)<br class=""/><div><br class=""/><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Nov 25, 2019, at 6:29 PM, Mueller, Milton L <<a href="mailto:milton@GATECH.EDU" class="">milton@GATECH.EDU</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"/><div class=""><div class="WordSection1" style="page: WordSection1; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: TrebuchetMS; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">Hello all,<o:p class=""></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">As it seems to .ORG sale is generating some pressure, here is our proposal as to where to take this.<o:p class=""></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><a href="https://www.internetgovernance.org/2019/11/25/what-to-do-about-org/" style="color: rgb(149, 79, 114); text-decoration: underline;" class="">https://www.internetgovernance.org/2019/11/25/what-to-do-about-org/</a><o:p class=""></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">Dr. Milton L Mueller<o:p class=""></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">Georgia Institute of Technology<o:p class=""></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">School of Public Policy<o:p class=""></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span id="cid:image001.png@01D5A383.A0E345B0"><image001.png></span></div></div></div></blockquote></div><br class=""/></div></body></html>
