I would be grateful if my dissent be clearly indicated in the Header of any eventual final document based on this draft.</div><div><br></div><div>1.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>I have placed at the disposal of the IAG and the staff the consequences of this policy in the EU, insofar as I am able as a private individual. My contribution in this respect has been systematically ignored by the staff. I question your competences to do so. In particular, even under the proposed Alternative Trigger, each Registry and each Registrar would still have to make separate individual applications for a waiver through each of their national authorities. I have explained to the IAG several times, why that is unnecessarily onerous, notably in view of the harmonisation of EU law in this area. I have requested a block exemption per jurisdiction. e.g. for the EU as a whole.</div><div><br></div><div>2.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Regarding 'Annex 4': as I have said before, I do not accept that these are 'Minority' statements. I consider that they reflect the opinion of a large number of entities and organisations, including those with formal responsibilities in the field. ICANN staff are not empowered to dismiss such as a 'minority'.</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Specifically, I request that the reference to these statements in the text be associated with a direct active Link to all the texts in Appendix 4.</div><div><br></div><div>3.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>More generally, if I understand the gist of the Transition, ICANN's Board and staff would become much more closely scrutinised by the global community.</div><div> <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Thus, I regret to have to remind you that in that context, should the staff continue to ride roughshod over consistent and informed advice from members of the community, the prospects for a stable outcome post-Transition could indeed be prejudiced.</div><div><br></div><div>Without apology for brevity, I have already spent enough time trying to help you to get this right, apparently without success. As an active participant in CCT-IAG, CWG, CCWG and At Large, I feel that ICANN is asking too much if the time devoted to supporting your procedures is simply acknowledged by the staff in a<i><b> fin de non reçevoir</b></i>. Please record my dissent.</div><div><br></div><div>CW</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div><div>On 13 May 2016, at 04:35, Jamie Hedlund <<a href="mailto:jamie.hedlund@icann.org">jamie.hedlund@icann.org</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div bgcolor="white" lang="EN-US" link="#0563C1" vlink="#954F72" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div class="WordSection1" style="page: WordSection1; "><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; ">All,</span> </div><div><br></div></div></div></blockquote></div></div></div></blockquote></div></div></blockquote></div></body></html>
