[NCUC-DISCUSS] Hot topic session in BA

[William Drake]

Hi 

There will be a session comprising 90 minutes of cross community discussion of two topics, and community members are asked to rank their preferences.

1.  Evolution of Internet Governance - Montevideo Statement and Post Bali Activities
2.  Names Collision Mitigation Risks
3.  Policy and Implementation
4.  Strategic Panels

Personally, my preference ordering would be 1, 4, 3, 2.

1 would tie in well as part of a chain of conversations, mobilization efforts, and cross-silo cooperation that could raise NCUC's profile and engagement internally and externally, e.g. BA => Bern IG conference in December => Possible Fadi CS roundtable January/Feb => NCUC policy conference in March => inputs to the Brazil IG reform event.

4 would provide a way into both the substantive issues the panels are assessing and the concerns expressed here previously on how such initiatives do or don't fit into the bottom up community-driven model etc.

3 is a hardy perennial that has been and will continually be raked over in and out of the the GNSO irrespective of this session.  That said, I know some people think it's the top priority that needs to be discussed whenever wherever.

2 is interesting and important but arguably not as time sensitive.

But that's just my view, and if discussion here provides a different "sense of the room" I'll report that to the planning group.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Bill
