[NCUC-DISCUSS] Another chat with the CEO/any comments?

[Kathy Kleiman]

Hi Farzi,

Great question from Renata. My question has to do with Compliance. More 
and more people are coming to ICANN to do more and more. It all sounds 
good: "anti-abuse," "law enforcement," "protecting copyright and 
trademark." But a lot of the requests amount to massive limitations on 
Free Expression and Free Speech -- and procedurally, bringing ICANN into 
the regulation of content.  The Consumer Trust Review Team 
recommendations, if adopted, would make ICANN into the greatest global 
monitor of content ever.

Fadi flatly refused this role for ICANN - telling Washington, Wall 
Street and the world that ICANN manages and oversees the infrastructure 
of the Internet, but not what it is used for -- the roads, bridges and 
tunnels, but not what is being carried within a car (his analogy).

With Goran, how does he see these enormous and very passionate pressures 
to bring ICANN into the global content monitoring (and takedown) debate? 
What will he do to protect the traditional lines and limits of ICANN? 
How does that "square" with the work of Jaime Hedlund in Compliance and 
its expanding role?

Best and tx,

Kathy
