Stacey (ex-Richemont with Freddy Mostert) is a great idea, Mary. Absolutely one of my all time favorite i.p. people, an effective advocate, more open minded than most, and a fantastic speaker. Great addition to any panel! Strongly endorsed.<span></span><br>

[NCUC-DISCUSS] Approval of NCUC Durban workshop on closed generics </p>

<p style="margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0">
H<br><br>ICANN has approved the previously mentioned proposal for a NCUC workshop on closed generic gTLDs. It is scheduled for Monday 15 July 2013, 13:30-15:30. So together with our outreach events at the African School on Internet Governance, Constituency Day, and the various NCSG & GNSO meetings, we will be fairly busy in Durban….<br>
<br>Glen and I have put up a page for the event, <a href="https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocouncilmeetings/NCUC+Workshop%3A+The+Debate+on+Closed+Generic+Top+Level+Domains." target="_blank">https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocouncilmeetings/NCUC+Workshop%3A+The+Debate+on+Closed+Generic+Top+Level+Domains.</a> <br>
<br>It needs a bit of work in two respects. First, the description is the text I wrote some time ago for a forthcoming IGF Bali workshop on the same, and could probably use improvement and updating in July in light of any smoke signals from the GAC and Board.<br>
<br>Second, the panel needs more balance in viewpoints; the folks listed are simply those I managed to get in a rush when ICANN staff said they needed the submission. At a minimum, we need someone good from an applicant or another advocate of closed applications (and yes I tried Google, no dice — Bali yes but Durban no). And maybe one more person from elsewhere in the community who can equally reflect contending perspectives within their clan, e.g. At Large. <br>
<br>If anyone has suggestions on either of these points, please be in touch.<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Bill<br><br><br><br>**********************************************************<br>William J. Drake<br>International Fellow & Lecturer<br>
