[NA-Discuss] thoughts on ICANN Summit planning group

[Robert Guerra]

Suffice it to say that I've discussed the proposal with my ALAC latin  
american colleague (LAC)  Carlos Aguiere. He tells me that LAC is  
interested in the idea too.


personally I am of the view that the proposal should not come from  
the NA region, but instead as a collaborative efforts between those -  
interested - from the regional RALOs and elsewhere. In a sense, it  
should be bottom up and have buy-in from other regions

In summary, those who are interested in putting together a group to -  
draft - a proposal, should work together in an open and transparent  
fashion. If  ICANN spaces are used for the discussions, fine - if not -
get the discussion going in some other space.

Like the rest of you - I'm tired of hearing of process issues. This  
is not a difficult thing to do, let those interested move ahead,  
otherwise we'll never get anywhere.


regards,

Robert
