[NCSG-PC] Fwd: [Epdp-dt] Candidate Confidentiality

[Robin Gross]

Secrecy of the candidate statements is a non-starter.  This is a global public policy issue of great public interest and it deserves appropriate public scrutiny.  Too often people forget that we are engaging in global governance at ICANN, and ICANN’s commitment to transparency in its bylaws cannot be ignored or lowered out of concerns about being in the public eye.  Accountability demands transparency in the formulation of this critical global policy. 

Thanks,
Robin

I believe they should be confidential or, at a minimum, the candidates should at least have the option to decide whether they wish to have their candidacy made public. Given the subject matter of this PDP, I thought we might be a bit more sensitive to privacy.

The SSC is more representative of the GNSO and has a methodology in place for selections as a result of the processes they've undertaken to date.
