<p>With apologies to former late show host David Letterman and thanks to all those who provided input, here are my top 10 reasons why this waiver is a bad idea for ICANN and for the community:
<br>
</p>
<p></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">10. It is insensitive to the global community as it can be interpreted as an exportation of U.S.-based litigious culture</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">9. It disregards the fact that participants at ICANN meetings have always willingly and knowingly accepted personal responsibility for health issues that arise during meetings</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">8. It is a disincentive to attending ICANN meetings in person, thereby damaging the ability of the community to work together</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">7. Concerns which have arisen throughout the community about the broad scope of the waiver are not being addressed – including legal opinions warning potential participants against signing.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">6. No one is taking ownership of this waiver. The Board position on it is unclear</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">5. There has been no general explanation to the community or any attempt seek buy-in for this waiver</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">4. This kind of blanket waiver could be unenforceable and in that case, serves only as intimidation</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">3. The waiver infringes on individual rights</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">2. ICANN appears to be abandoning its duty of care to the participating community who are voluntarily contributing their time and energy to fulfilling ICANN's mandate to operate as a bottom-up multistakeholder organization</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"><b>Top reason why this waiver is a really bad idea:</b></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"><b>1. It leaves a lasting unpleasant taste in the mouths of participants contributing to ICANN's multistakeholder model -- which is presented as a source of pride and accomplishment to the internet governance community.</b></p>
