[PC-NCSG] Fwd: Re: [CCWG-ACCT] Public comment on draft Articles of Incorporation?

[matthew shears]

Dear all

I would draw your attention to the message below from one of our members 
and to the proposed comments I had circulated earlier through Trello and 
spearately.  At a minimum I believe that NCSG should comment on the 
issues related to GPI, as stated in the proposed draft text here in this 
google doc:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_0L_c5vCdksJ9TVzfCDoN5OesxJLiRmLwyqQtdLBdrY/edit?pref=2&pli=1

I look foward to your comments on this particular point and on any 
others related to the restated AoI you may wish to raise. Please comment 
directly in the google doc.

The restated articles are here:

https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/draft-restated-articles-incorporation-25may16-en.pdf

The full consultation details can be found here:

Thanks for your contributions.

Matthew

Thomas,

As stated in our public comment, I am concerned about the ambiguity of 
the AoI text on the global public interest. As I sent to the list last 
Sunday, I do not believe that Samantha's new text on the global public 
interest addresses the concerns raised in the June 20 call. 
Specifically, that the proposed phrasing leaves open the possibility 
that the GPI could at times be determined by non-bottom up 
multi-stakeholder process.

I suggest that the CCWG request the following text instead of Samantha's 
text circulated last Sunday: _as such the global public interest shall 
be determined by the multistakeholder community through an inclusive 
bottom-up multistakeholder community process consistent with the mission 
set forth in the bylaws of the Corporation (?*Bylaws*?)._

I believe that this text would remove any ambiguity about how GPI is 
determined.

I understand that this would be more controversial and not necessarily 
legally necessary, but I think that the AoI would be clearer if 
"organized" were replaced by "incorporated" or "organized and 
incorporated" and the location of the headquarters was inserted.

Best,

Brett
