[ncdnhc-discuss] ccSO

[Chun Eung Hwi]

Dear Milton Mueller and others,


No, nobody will want to get such a result as you have just guessed. 
Then, even in the case that you have just made, I don't think that ccSO
would fully represent Registries because ccTLD group is composed of many
diversified interest groups from their own governance structure. And I
also proposed some kind of best practice guidelines for ccTLDs as a
consensus policy of ICANN community.

One of main motivations that ccSO is proposed in ccTLD community is the
fact that while ccTLD related policies are the main concern of ccTLDs,
ICANN had been dealing largely with gTLD issues and Board has not dealt
with ccTLD issues with legitimate concern. And in dealing with other
things than ccTLD related issues, ccTLD community should and would seek
consensus policy. Therefore, if more democratic governance structure of
each ccTLD and more close and effective cooperation between DNSO and ccSO
could be arranged and structured, I think that ccSO would contribute to
making more sound DNS policies.  

Throughout this discussion, I found that some people are thinking that
ccTLD would ultimately represent commercial interest while some others
think that ccTLD would take more locally balanced public views on DNS
policies. Maybe, reallistically, ccTLD would take somewhere around such
extreme positions. Anyhow, I think that the existence of ccSO would be
better than the present commercial interest dominating DNSO sole structure
because it would become another negotiation channel for making sound DNS
policies where public interest group would participate in many other ways. 
What matters is how to ensure such democratic governance structure in most
ccTLDs.
