[NCUC-DISCUSS] Fwd: Brief points on Public Interest Registry advisory council meeting

Except that content regulation is expressly outside the scope of ICANN 
under the new Bylaws -- and thank goodness!  (We have more than enough 
to do with our current scope. Fadi was absolutely right IMHO when he 
says we run the infrastructure, roads and bridges of the Internet, but 
we don't check what ever car, truck or bus carries.) ICANN does not do 
content.

But where a discussion should go, I don't know. Per Ayden's ideas below, 
it must be in a VERY public forum for this work to take place. But do we 
even need this copyright arbitration work done at all?  The "judicial 
remedy" -- going to court to take down the "pervasive infringement" -- 
that PIR talked about in its meeting with us in Copenhagen -- would seem 
to be a rapid process through any court with jurisdiction over PIR 
(which is located in the US).

Best, Kathy
