<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>On this issue, they will
undoubtedly reply that there was a public announcement Dec 3 and we failed to put
anyone forward. What they won’t say is that the membership in this group was
vetted and if no they could have made an effort to attain some kind of
political balance reflecting the longstanding divisions over privacy/data protection.
Also that putting up a web page in the middle of December that asks you to read
two weighty reports before even knowing what the group is doing and then
forming the group after only ten days is not all that conducive to
participation. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>3. Parity in ICANN policy-making process w/r/t inclusion of
noncommercial interests<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>3a. Unfortunately, we have yet another instance where ad hoc
creation of an advisory group (that has potential to influence policy) results
in draft report which fails to include noncommercial interests, much less
address potential policy conflict. In this case, the zone file access
(ZFA) advisory group failed to adequately consider in its draft report how
a uniform, third-party ZFA contract might impact and conflict with the
variance in national privacy laws concerning registrant data. If ICANN's
intent is to make consensus policy it is imperative that its processes,
including "advisory groups," include all perspectives - from the
start.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>3b. On a positive note! Thx for providing the
opportunity to discuss noncommercial interests with the Board. Having met in
Seoul and now in Nairobi, we believe these regular f-2-f interactions benefit
both the Board and noncommercial interests and hope they will become
a regularly scheduled occurrence going forward. <o:p></o:p></p>
