Benjamin's concern about .org holder awareness and engagement.

[Sam Lanfranco]

	Benjamin, 

	You have raised an important point here, one that applies to more than
just the .org domain name holders, won’t go away, and requires increased
attention.
	Every person, community, company, and government is now a resident in the
Internet ecosystem. Most have no idea of their rights and obligations as
"citizens" in those digital spaces. 

	In literal citizenship one’s rights and obligations evolve out of
appropriate legislation, and education around acceptable behavior. There
are starts around privacy rights, e.g. EU’s GPDR.  

	There is also an issue in this .org transaction, with ICANN’s attempts
to give questionable powers to registries and registrars under the
ill-named banner of DNS Abuse.  

	Making .org domain name holders aware of their rights and obligations, and
engaging them in the policy and behavior dialogues, are important parts of
defining digital citizenship.

I also align with this letter, however I just have some concern playing in
my head.
How does this process get the representation of the about 10 million
registrants of the .org TLD , knowing fully that many of them don't even
participate in the IG processes? It is just a question in my head.
However this is a good approach compared to others.
Regards,
Benjamin
