ICANN staff proposal for further concessions to IPC-BC

[Alain Berranger]

Thanks Robin. Dear all,

Is it not the essence of a strawman solution to be imperfect and to be
subjected to further testing, consultations and brain-storming?

Can we ask IPC/BC and/or ICANN staff why a strawman solution is chosen as
opposed to a Working Group or a PDP or whatever else ICANN uses to
establish policies? Maybe I should know the answer but I don't. I may only
speculate that time is of the essence for commercial interests and  that
the proposed strawman solution suits their purposes.

Can any insights be shared from the IP lawyers in NCSG or anyone else in
the know?

Thanks, Alain
