[ALAC] Content regulation

[rinalia.abdulrahim at gmail.com]

Hi, Carlton.

If the ALAC and At-Large would like to see real movement on this, I suggest that the ALAC prepare a short and focused issues/discussion paper on the related topic of public interest and consumer trust for a discussion with the Board.  

Best regards,

Rinalia

We have established the causes for this business of 'coordination' claimed as mission for ICANN; it is to make the DNS space exploitable for the many uses already identified. Add to these - channeling the descriptives of the myths from elsewhere - those yet 'invisible and unknown'.
