Hi Niels,

 

Thanks for this question. 

 

It is important to me that ICANN acts only in accordance with its bylaws.

 

So, I believe ICANN has a public responsibility to ensure the stable and secure operation of the Internet’s system of unique identifiers.

 

I believe ICANN has a public responsibility to allocate new gTLDs in a transparent and equitable manner.

 

Similarly, I believe ICANN has a role to play in ensuring there is consumer choice and effective competition.

 

And its policies must be fair, respecting fundamental rights, including the rights to privacy and freedom of expression.

 

I do not support any mission creep that would see ICANN venture into content regulation, as the use of a domain name is outside of ICANN’s remit.

 

I hope this is helpful in understanding where I fall on this issue. I would be happy to respond to any other questions, or to clarify my remarks, if necessary.

 

Best wishes,

 

Ayden Férdeline
