[NCSG-PC] Discussion with CSG leadership

[farzaneh badii]

Hi Rafik

Sorry it took me some time. Yes we have concerns we cannot go as proposed
and I don’t understand why PC doesn’t speak up!

If we agree to propose this as is to the board it will come across as we
are aligned on what the priorities are and obviously they are not aligned
with us. To a board that is already either clueless about what the
noncommercials priorities are or doesn’t really want to consider them.

I suggest this:

A. Policy developments

   1. Registration data (accuracy, contactibility, access, privacy, and
   transparency)
   2. DNS Abuse implementation, safeguards, and registrant and end users
   rights and access
   3. Registrant remedies and due process
   4. Human rights and privacy considerations in DNS policy across ICANN

B. Strategic issues for the future of the DNS

   1. AI and the future of Internet access, human rights in DNS policy
   2. Government intervention, fragmentation, accessibility, and impacts on
   the global DNS
   3. Emerging challenges affecting Internet users and the multistakeholder
   model
