Also on 6 Bucket List

[Milton L Mueller]

As I indicated in my earlier comment, the concept of arbitrary buckets into which people are divided is a fundamentally bankrupt concept and simply should be abandoned.

BTW, the "bucket list" concept is now being discussed among two other groups and we have already begun to make changes and to explore a number of other avenues.  So, if you have any comments, questions, concerns or would otherwise like to engage in discussions about the long-term concept, please speak up.

Hi Cheryl and everyone,

This week's ICANN meeting has provided us all with useful feedback about the community's concerns and questions regarding a new NCSG. I for one am glad also that Carlos and I had the opportunity to chat with you, and to confirm that we all would like to move forward from previous disagreements, and work together towards a robust and workable NCSG within the reformulated GNSO structure.

In that regard, may I suggest that NCUC members take the time to review again both the majority NCUC proposal and that put forward by Cheryl and the potential cyber-safety constituency, with a view toward identifying remaining issues of divergence and discussing whether these differences can be bridged?

Thank you all,
Mary

Dear Bill,

As it states, the 6 buckets list was only a template for discussion.  I am not "proposing" this, only that further study and analysis be done about the vision of a fully mature NCSG before setting an inconsistent structure in place.

I would be happy to engage in discussion with you if you have questions.

Cheryl,

Thanks for clarifying your thinking, I was pretty confused in the
meeting by your prior explanation of how you expected this to work.  I
would strongly encourage you to file an amendment to your submission
to the board so that they too will have a better understanding of what
you are proposing.

Best,

Bill
