That was a discussion in the context of Consumer Trust. Still, I see
both Consumer Trust and the Public Interest as being related.<br>

Dear all,<br>
<br>
further to discussions about the Public Interest, please be so
kind to find a response from the Chair of the ICANN Board to the
Chair of the GNSO concerning a query about Exclusive Registry
Access for gTLD Strings Representing Generic Terms.<br>
As a reminder, when the ALAC discussed the Public Interest with
the ICANN Board at the Marrakech meeting, Bruce Tonkin, Board
member, responded with a vision of the Public Interest mission of
ICANN that was purely technical in terms of making sure Domain
Names resolved to the proper IP addresses. During the ALT meeting
with the ICANN Board Chair, the ICANN Board Chair responded that
this was not quite correct and provided some language that
broadened the use of the term "The Public Interest" which was more
aligned to the ALAC's view that all actions that ICANN took needed
to take into account the Public Interest. (I'll have to read the
transcripts back for the exact wording)<br>
<br>
In the attached letter, the Chair of the ICANN Board quotes
Paragraph 3 of the Articles of Incorporation - so that's a very
technical baseline. He then explains the current status of
information collection from the ICANN research on the global
public interest framework. But nothing more so far.<br>
<br>
I would like to take this up with the Public Interest working
group - but would appreciate your feedback first.<br>
<br>
Kindest regards,<br>
<br>
Olivier<br>
