<div>Hi Rafik,<br></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks for your comments.<br></div><div><br></div><div>I think we need to be explicit with what we are asking, clear that our words are not an empty threat, and definitive that consequences will follow if ICANN does not meet its obligations under the GDPR.<br></div><div><br></div><div>I am happy for us to send the attached letter with Martin's revisions, though I think it does now sound like an empty threat. The ambiguity sounds to me like we do not know what our course of action will be, when that is incorrect. In the previous draft we were very clear: if ICANN does not comply with European data protection law, we will evail ourselves next May of the Data Protection Commissioners and if necessary, see you in Court. But we have spent a week trying to get comments on this letter and speaking only for myself, my motivation is now fading. We have other comments to write; so if there is consensus on this letter as attached, we might as well send it. If we do not, let's not.<br></div><div><br></div><div>I have tried multiple times over the past two weeks to have a conversation around next steps. I have tried on the policy call, on this list, on Skype channels to talk campaigns. We all have our own interests at ICANN and follow different topics; I get that. This is something I am following so I have more time for it. And it is for that reason that I say, we are not going to get allies like AccessNow or EDRi if we ourselves cannot take the time to discuss a path forward. And I feel very strongly that if we reach out to others, we should not be asking for much more than a signature on a letter. It needs to be a part of a campaign that we are leading. We cannot expect them to take the lead here. We are in the ICANN working groups, being ignored and observing ICANN's non-compliance, and our civil society members have their own priorities which I am sure they have already budgeted for for FY18. So this is on us. I think a face-to-face meeting in Abu Dhabi - separate from our policy committee meeting if possible - is essential if we decide to take this campaign forward, and I think we should.<br></div><div><br></div><div>But we might decide that we will not launch a campaign next year, because we are not committed to this issue. I kind of get that feeling.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Ayden<br></div><div><br></div><div class="protonmail_signature_block"><div class="protonmail_signature_block-user"><div><br></div></div></div><blockquote type="cite" class="protonmail_quote"><div>-------- Original Message --------<br></div><div>Subject: Re: [NCSG-PC] [Draft] Letter to ICANN re: BC and IPC correspondence<br></div><div>Local Time: 15 October 2017 3:11 AM<br></div><div>UTC Time: 15 October 2017 02:11<br></div><div>From: rafik.dammak@gmail.com<br></div><div>To: Stephanie Perrin <stephanie.perrin@mail.utoronto.ca><br></div><div>Martin Pablo Silva Valent <mpsilvavalent@gmail.com>, Ayden Férdeline <icann@ferdeline.com>, ncsg-pc@lists.ncsg.is <ncsg-pc@lists.ncsg.is><br></div><div><br></div><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_extra">Hi all,<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">thanks for those participating in the editing. <br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I understand the concerns about using a threat language. I am wondering how much we should be strategical here.  We should escalate gradually (and assertively) depending on the situation, but putting nuclear option, in the beginning, may not work. There is a sense of emergency here and we have to act quickly.<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I believe we should have a discussion about the strategy we should follow and if we want to go into the campaign path, getting media attention and so we would need to have a clear plan, get allies and experienced folks to support us.  As I shared in RDS channel, there was some effort during Privacy/Proxy service public comments and we can learn from that.  I brought that experience because it let many outsiders be aware of the situation and send their comments. I understand that is a different context but we can start by leveraging our membership: EDRi,  EFF, Accessnow and many others, I volunteer with others to reach them.<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><div>I think we can shape a letter expressing strongly our concerns and so we must continue the discussion in Abud Dhabi for next steps ( we will need to allocate time for that on formal and informal meetings) to outline a plan to follow.<br></div><div><br></div><div>let's finalize this letter, it is timing will be just 2 weeks prior to Abu Dhabi meeting.<br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Best,<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Rafik<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><div><br></div><div class="gmail_quote"><div>2017-10-15 5:21 GMT+09:00 Stephanie Perrin <span dir="ltr"><<

                perfect, but for the last paragraph:<br></div><div><br></div><div>1) Threatening to go with a public official
                NCSG campaign with State agencies of Europe to hit
                ICANN, to force the MS model, is a very bad idea. 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.<br></div><div><br></div><div>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. <br></div><div><br></div><div>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.<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,<br></div><div>Martín<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><blockquote type="cite"><div>On Oct 13, 2017, at 6:55 PM, Ayden
