<p>HI Seun,</p>
<p>I agree with you. I do not see why we need to change the model
that we have used for other CCWG or other working groups. I am
also for what Seun is suggesting as a role for participants who
are not members, but I know that is the decision of that
particular Working Group. I am not for divergent opinions just for
the sake of it, but I am also not for forced opinions either.
People should feel free to express their selves and if they want
to put in a divergent view point we could try and understand why
that is the case and what are the reasons as perhaps it could be
mis-understanding or perhaps there are cultural or other issues
that are leading for this divergence. Possibly after talking to
the person we car resolve these issues and come out with a
coherent and unified response. But if not, there is nothing wrong
with a minority viewpoint.</p>
<p>Best,</p>
<p>Judith<br>

<div>Hello,<br>

I think what may be important is that there is an opportunity
to understand our diverse view and that IMO should not imply
that we then ensure to have a single position. However there
are issues that may so end up to be shared by us all and when
some don't happen that way we shouldn't attempt to make it so.
Our diversity should ultimately be our strength.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>That said, it does seem to me that "how we participate" is
the only thing formerly on the table for discussion now hence
there are no Geo topics related issues at the moment. I look
forward to participating in this particular WG (I hope there
will be option for participants apart from the selected 5?)
and yes I think we should take note of the Evan's caution.<br>

<div>Tijani, why do
you say that
attempting to
ensure that
multiple views are
represented will
result in a
"neutral" group.
It could be that
there are only two
main views and a
majority of
At-large espouses
one of them.<br>
<br>
The difference
between this and
other groups that
we have worked in
is that in most
other cases,
At-Large to a
great extent was
speaking from a
single point of
view, perhaps with
minor variations.
That *may* be the
case here, or not.
That is what I was
trying to
determine.<br>
<br>
And the question I
was asking is that
IF there are
multiple views, do
we want to try to
ensure through the
selection process
that they are
represented? That
is a separate
question from
whether we ensure
that we have five
regional reps
which so far there
is strong support
for (as expected).<br>
<br>
To use your own
words, this is in
the interest of
diversity.
Diversity of views
and not only
geographic
regions.<br>

We don’t

You are
disagreeing
with one small
POSSIBLE
consequence of
what I
suggested and
I am not sure
to what extent
you are
disagreeing
with the main
part, that we
TRY to ensure
that all major
viewpoints
held by
At-Large
people are
represented.<br>
<br>
It is fine to
say that if we
don't like the
outcome, we
will not
ratify it, but
just as in our
reply to Rec 1
of the review,
we say we are
MUCH better
off if we can
effect the
outcome so it
is good,
rather than
just object
afterwards, in
this case, we
need to ensure
that our
participants
in the process
represent the
range of
views.<br>

I̢۪m afraid
I don̢۪t
share your

<br>
What you are
proposing is
to send to the
WT a neutral
(balanced)
opinion. You
even propose
to have
opinion
balance rather
than regional
balance.<br>
This means
that if we
have more than
a region with
the same
opinion, we
have to take
only one and
take 2 or more
from a region
with various
opinions. What
would be the
result????<br>
Regions much
more
represented
than others
for an issue
about
geographic
names…¦..<br>
<br>
I believe we
should act
exactly as we
did for the
CCWG: select 5
members from
the 5 regions,
and each
member
expresses his
opinion in the
WT. The final
report of the
WT will be
ratified by
the Chartering
organizations,
and that̢۪s
where the
opinion of the
ALAC as a
whole will be
shaped. (</font><b>with

The GNSO PDP
on New gTLD
Subsequent
Procedures has
decided to
initiate a
Work Track on
the use
geographic
names at the
top level, and
the ALAC,
along with the
GNSO, ccNSO
and GAC, has
been invited
to
participate.<br>
<br>
As a first
step,
co-leaders are
being
requested and
as you know
from<span
class="m_5136827732460725261m_4353503581383577792Apple-converted-space"> </span><a

class="m_5136827732460725261m_4353503581383577792Apple-converted-space"> </span>,
the ALAC is
seeking
someone to
take on this
role on behalf
of the ALAC.<br>
<br>
The
co-leaders,
once selected,
will work with
the PDP WG
Co-Chairs to
establish the
further
procedures and
the full terms
of reference
will likely be
established by
the WT itself
However, it is
envisaged that
this new Work
Track will
operate with
procedures
comparable to
a CCWG. If
this is indeed
what happens,
the Work
Track, unlike
most GNSO PDP
efforts, may
include:<br>
<br>
- Members
formally
appointed by
the AC/SOs;<br>
-
Participants;<br>
- A decision
process
wherein
Members only
may take part
(used only if
necessary)<br>
- The .<br>
<br>
The ALAC needs
to decide how
it will
participate,
and the
criteria for
selecting
Members
(presuming
this is the
path chosen).<br>
<br>
The first
part, I think,
is relatively
simple. I
believe the
ALAC should
agree to be a
full
participant
with the
understanding
that we agree
to the terms
of reference,
and that we
are not bound
by the
outcomes until
and unless we
ratify them at
the conclusion
of WT5 work.<br>
<br>
The selection
of Members (if
there are any)
is more
complex.
Normally, we
are allotted
five Members
and I would
expect that to
be the case
here. We
typically
solicit
volunteers and
the ALAC
Appointee
Selection
Committee
makes
recommendations
to the ALAC,
with the
expectation is
that there be
one candidate
per region.<br>
<br>
This situation
is more
challenging in
that the ALAC
and At-Large
may have a
variety of
positions
ranging from:<br>
<br>
- National or
local
governments
should have
absolute
control over
the use of
their names
(or other
geographic
identifiers);
to<br>
- We have many
examples of
the use of
geographic
names in
existing
domains and
there is no
evidence of
harm, so we
should allow a
very liberal
use of
geographic
names in the
new TLDs.<br>
- In between,
there are
views that
there should
be a mechanism
to arbitrate
when there are
different
parties
seeking a
name, or a
process like
the Trademark
Clearinghouse
where parties
can register
their
"interest" in
a name.<br>
<br>
It is
therefore
really
important to
understand the
variety of
views and make
sure that our
delegation to
the WT
represents all
of these.<br>
<br>
In order to do
this, I think
we need a
discussion of
what positions
are held. This
is NOT an
opportunity to
agree or
disagree with
positions
presented, but
to simply
understand how
views vary
within
At-Large.<br>
<br>
I would like
to open the
discussion on
this list to
start with,
and once we
have a good
idea of ideas,
to validate
them with the
wider At-Large
Community.<br>
<br>
With this
mail, I am
soliciting
input on three
questions:<br>
<br>
1. Do you
agree with my
proposal on
the conditions
for
participating
or if not,
what do you
propose
instead?<br>
<br>
2. Assuming we
will be asked
to appoint
Members,
should we try
to balance
their views to
make sure the
majority of
our community
has a voice on
the WT? This
*might* mean
we end up
balancing
views and not
have all five
regions
represented.<br>
<br>
3. What are
your views on
how to address
the use of
geographic
names in Top
Level Domains?<br>
<br>
