<div dir="auto">Hello,<div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I am not a very active participant of the NCUC but but do follow happening and as a member I find this of interest to me. I read through the blog post and it was a good read; it seem quite educating and makes a lot of sense. I may understand why a certain service provider may not like the content but am not sure I understand the reason why NCUC is making a statement against the blog post.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Overall, I know the views of members may not necessarily matter here (as it seem the EC makes the decision), i will suggest that you provide authoritative source for the definition of "dark web" and "deep web" in your statement.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Regards</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Jun 28, 2017 4:59 PM, "Niels ten Oever" <<a href="mailto:lists@digitaldissidents.org" target="_blank">lists@digitaldissidents.org</a>> wrote:<br type="attribution"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hi all,<br>
<br>
This morning the ICANN VP for Security and IT published a blogpost which<br>
appeared in this mornings newsletter, as well as on ICANNs website<br>
concerning the Dark Web.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.icann.org/news/blog/the-dark-web-the-land-of-hidden-services" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.icann.org/news/<wbr>blog/the-dark-web-the-land-of-<wbr>hidden-services</a><br>
<br>
A number of us got together and drafted an email to the author to give<br>
him an opportunity to correct the falsehoods that are stated in the blog.<br>
<br>
We have two options:<br>
<br>
1. Send the letter on behalf of the NCUC<br>
2. Sign the letter in your personal capacities.<br>
<br>
Let's discuss it here, but feel free to already sign (as a fallback option).<br>
<br>
You can find the draft letter here:<br>
