They do receive "requests" for action on content matters and it is a smaller proportion compared to WHOIS inaccuracy complaints, but apparently the effort and time required to address the content problems are disproportionately higher, especially when the "requests" come from organized and large commercial entities with lots of legal resources. The blogs are part of the effort to address that problem through education and awareness.</div><div id="AppleMailSignature"><br></div><div id="AppleMailSignature">Regarding staffing, specifically the hiring of the Consumer Safeguard Director, which I know you and the At-Large are very concerned about, there needs to be follow-up action from Compliance to draw up a job ToR for the position and to invite ALAC input. This is an action item stemming from that meeting and the Board will review the status of that action at its May meeting.<br><br><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Best regards,</span><div><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Rinalia </span></div><div><br></div></div><div><br>On Apr 14, 2016, at 11:04 PM, "<a href="mailto:gbruen@knujon.com">gbruen@knujon.com</a>" <<a href="mailto:gbruen@knujon.com">gbruen@knujon.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div>

These blogs are a distraction. There are at-least three explaining
in painful detail why ICANN cannot regulate content. Yet looking
at compliance's own statistics on the complaints they receive,
their workload is clearly consumed with contractual items. One
would think that crowds are banning on ICANN's doors to get
content pulled down. <br>
<br>
As if on cue, whenever the compliance director is asked very
specific questions about staffing, process, etc. he begins
discussing "content" when no one has brought it up. This is
leaning towards a tactic of casting any difficult issue ICANN does
not want to handle as a "content" issue. It is tiresome. <br>
