<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"></head><body ><div>Hi,</div><div><br></div><div>In terms of legitimacy, isn't one of the topics that needs to be explored internationalisation of ICANN, and IANA? Isn't that a topic at the top of the list? That seems to be in scope.</div><div><br></div><div>And the ICANN Board seems to be on-board as Fadi was meeting with a subset of them (including the Chair) and AC/SO leadership every morning. I wasn't in the meetings, and don't know who the rep from gnso was since Jonathan wasn't there, so don't know what the level of buy in was, but I heard no complaints on the ground. </div><div><br></div><div>So whatever we might say about scope creep Fadi is not being renegade.</div><div><br></div><div>As for scope creep Fadi and the leaders of the other I* seem to be acting in coordinated faction, so it is within their scope, and would seem to be in scope for any one of them to act on I*'s behalf in organizational talks with governments on a meeting planning.</div><div><br></div><div>So, in this case at least, I see no fundamental problem of overreach by Fadi. And, whether he fully understand what it means, he seems to be carrying the banner of multistakeholderism into these discussions.</div><div><br></div><div>So, at least this once, I am not ready to join in Fadi-attack.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div style="font-size:75%">avri</div><div style="font-size:75%"><br></div><div style="font-size:75%">Sent from a T-Mobile 4G LTE Device</div></body></html>
