1. Information leads to a bit confusion about ICANN jurisdiction/mandate.2. Since Veni Markovski is nominated, how abt feeding him with the data that he may be needing so that ICANN is better represented. best wishes-Ganga

Thank you Sam. We are championing for ICANN not to become a content regulator and ICANN staffer get appointed to EC initiative on fake news and online disinformation. I really wonder why. Why should ICANN be even involved with this?

FYI:

The European Commission (EC) has appointed 39 experts to a new High Level Group (HLEG) on fake news and online disinformation.
It comprises representatives of the civil society, social media platforms, news media organisations, journalists and academia.
Professor dr. Madeleine de Cock Buning is nominated to chair the Group.

The ICANN person in the HLEG  is Veni Markovski, currently ICANN's Vice-President for UN engagement, based in New York.
