[NCUC-DISCUSS] Session on termination of domains for hate speech at ICANN 60

All,
I agree with Michale, Jeremy and others on the need to address this as a group, and I do not “fear” the consequences of talking for the sake of talking, I do agree with James or Milton to avoid any official communicate, but it does have policy relevance for ICANN and the GNSO. 

From James “Sorry Martin but in no way does ICANN enforce registrars TOS on its customers with regards to right to not provide service for content matters.” This is not what I meant at all. I think we actually may see eye to eye on what role ICANN and Contracted parties may have, but I think that the debate is relevant in this forum and re-stateing neutrality of content in ICANN policy is a must when this sort of events raise confusion and uncertainty.

On the IGF Brazil, please do debate, is a relevant forum for a relevant topic and very graceful community, but I don’t see how that is going to replace Jeremy’s request on ICANN space or the global community that ICANN gathers. 

Cheers,
Martín Silva

It's bad enough we are going to have members who cannot attend based on their activist backgrounds. If we approach this from the perspective of avoiding any discussion that might make waves, there's no point even showing up.

I wouldn't expect the discussion to end with any sort of "official" conclusion that Cloudflare was wrong (or right), but given that this is an issue with implications for ICANN going forward, it would be useful to come together and share some preliminary thoughts about future challenges. At least, that's how I see it. Let's have the conversation.

And as Gustavo I think we would have a better civilized, productive debate, with both sides being represented in Brazil than in Abu Dhabi where the enviroment about freedom of expression isn't that good.
