<p class="MsoNormal">I have had time to go over it carefully and
am somewhat shocked at the role of GAC in this plan.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Not only does the plan seem to be willing
to accredit almost anyone, but it puts the GAC in a unilateral
policy making role and also makes it the primary gatekeeper to
Whois data.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">PLEASE ask the board about this when you
meet with them. Ask if they understand the long term
implications of revolutionizing the GAC’s role – are they
making ICANN into an intergovernmental organization? Also ask
them if they think the GAC is able to do this in two months.
Based on past behavior, it is doubtful whether GAC could come
up with something in two years. Please ask the board why they
are throwing so much responsibility onto an advisory entity.<o:p></o:p></p>
