On the other hand, there is the definition of ?public interest? in the ICANN context, it?s relevance to the ICANN by-laws and the ongoing work of the accountability-CCWG, and how human rights fits into it. The discussion with Fadi in DC seemed promising to me on this, and certainly warrants some kind of follow up. I suggest that we also try to get on top of this prior to the Singapore meeting, and perhaps bring it up during the NCSG meeting with the ICANN board. If we have some solid suggestions by then, then perhaps we can propose to the board how to move forward with this. Anyone care to volunteer for this one?

I don?t think it?d be premature to raise this as one of our three questions to the board, building on the DC conversation and prior, and reflecting the variations in perspective.   I?d be happy to present it in the meeting if nobody else is itching to.

Same here. Going over the transcripts of the meeting with Fadi, I was really impressed (and dare I say hopeful) with where you all left things with him on public interest and human rights. The reason why I thought we may be able to have something ready by Singapore, and possibly address the board with it during our meeting with them is because this is not really a new topic on this list. We?ve been discussing it for months.

I?m fine with Bill presenting this to the board. I also don?t see the harm in anyone else furthering the discussion with them following the initial presentation of the topic.

Thanks Marilia, Matt, David and Bill for agreeing to take this on.
