Indeed, a very good initiative. The implications in gnso
policy-areas of the principles we put forward should provide for
very interesting discussions.<br>
<br>
And to Maria's point, I would believe that the "open, peer-to-peer"
nature of the Internet should be amongst the basic fundamental
principles that drive our community's involvement in gnso policy. <br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear all - reflecting on my first
few months as a GNSO councillor and the various NCUC
and NCSG conversations it occurred, imho, that there
seems to be a reasonably frequent resort to *<b>fundamental</b>*
principles-type discussions from various voices in
the policy discussions (domain name take downs, UDRP
review, law enforcement, IPR to name a few) ….
Meanwhile I was taking a fresh look at RFC 1591 and
participating in a policy principles discussion on
TLD policy in New Zealand that was kind of
interesting and got me to thinking: </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">as a new NCSG member, what do I
know about the policy principles that guide the NCSG
(not the principles in our various Charters, but
policy principles that inform our SG policy inputs
as a whole into ICANN related activities)? What are
the perspectives on these and what do members think?
Are there some core policy principles that we are
agreed about? If so, how these could be drawn on to
help guide our policy inputs in ICANN related
matters (particularly as Councillors responsible for
considering issues in light of diverse NCSG views)?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am may be mad for thinking
about this (and I feel very gratified to be in a SG
that will clearly tell me if this is so!) but I
would like to initiate a dialogue about this in NCSG
– even if it takes some time to work through. I am
willing to take responsibility for facilitating this
discussion and to, get the ball rolling, wonder if a
list of policy principles for NCSG might, for
example, look like this: </p>
