As NCSG, we should only go to governments through the GAC and keep using our GNSO procedures to complain if we are being left out. Going berserk on ICANN with borrowed state power breaks the whole model, something that is way beyond what we need to do in this case. It’s a dangerous precedent. Why Europe? What about other jurisdictions? other states? We can still coordinate with the GAC, and as non-commercial activists we can do public campaigns and state claims in defense of our rights, but it should not be an NCSG action. We have procedures to escalate the problem inside the model, let’s use them fearless. Let’s call the ombudsman, keep writing to the board, fill the open mic, massively go into working group coordinating our members, etc (we have councilors!). Asking data protection agencies to put pressure for us, in NCSG name, outside the process we set for ourselves is not ok, is a pandora box of precedent.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">2) Even if we all agree that NCSG should ask a governmental agency to put it’s nose in the GNSO process, which I am NOT saying we do, the paragraph hits a big brick wall of rhetoric problems. If you read the letter, the letter is perfect, is reasonable, is harsh, it makes you blush to think the issue is at such a poor situation. Is backed by other stakeholder, opposite to you. Once you read the threat you loose all the communication bridges you build before in the letter. Anyone with some knowledge of the GNSO will stop thinking on the ICANN problem of addressing GDPR, they will read that NCSG is threatening, to go to EU to force ICANN, and the multistakeholder model. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">3) The letter is perfect, we do need a punch in the last paragraph that states both our level of concern, alert and the demand to be heard. But we should threaten to use either specific tools of the ICANN Process, or a vague thing that allows us to afterward choose the best tool.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Cheers,</div><div class="">Martín</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><br class=""><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Oct 13, 2017, at 6:55 PM, Ayden Férdeline <<a href="mailto:icann@ferdeline.com" class="">icann@ferdeline.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div class="">Hi Martin, thank you very much for this feedback.
