[PC-NCSG] Proposed subject change for board meeting tomorrow

[Kathy Kleiman]

+1 Matthew. I watched the Registrar/Registry agreement with the Board 
today and they read a strong statement asked ICANN to stay out of 
content. Apparently the IPC presented a letter to the Board today asking 
ICANN to get much more involved in content issues -- asking for 
"voluntary standards" but "with teeth" (this is 2nd hand as I have not 
seen the letter).  But voluntary standards with teeth mean binding 
commitments - and outside the PDPs.

I don't know if our call on content with Alan Grogan, ICANN's compliance 
officer, ever took place. But this would be a good time for us to add to 
our noncommercial voices to the call for ICANN to stay out of content -- 
and support ICANN. Because Fadi has said, and said again in today's 
session, that ICANN should stay out of it too.

If someone takes the lead, I am happy to help in the background. It 
could be a short, but very important, point.
Best,
Kathy
