Hi Sunny and Hong.

 

I had been travelling for about a couple of weeks and was looking for the draft ToR that Peter had amended. Curiously enough I did not see it until this ToR v3.

 

The ToR includes what I—and I suppose some others too—consider ambitious. I’m concerned that if we take as long as we did in crafting the ToR as our APrIGF CFP template, then many moons might pass. And the APrIGF had the benefit of a couple of runs.

 

May I suggest this: we do the run. And we meet f2f to aim to conclude the ToR.

 

I am proposing a 1-day session because I am thinking of the Indian bureaucrats who may form a sizeable group. It’s really a primer. I’m also concerned that a longer duration would not be manageable. Also, I’m concerned that if it’s too extended, people would have a hard time extending their stay.

 

Appended below is the draft curriculum. Essentially—background+context, the technical aspects (to explain the root server), the stakeholders and their roles, and then the current status.

 

I have highlighted the speaker for PM1 as I was in Sri Lanka and met Rohan Samarjiva and he had expressed interest to attend if we invite him. Rohan is a friend, ex-professor at Ohio State in telecom, a former DG of Sri Lanka Telecom but now heading a think-tank in ICT policy. He is therefore comfortable in both the ITU and Internet space and therefore not hostile to the Internet.

 

Speakers for the other slots are open.

 

Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks, Sunny, the modifications look very good. Regarding 5.1, yes we would need to compose the WG sooner rather than later.

Dear Kelvin,

Thanks for circulating the ToR v3 for comments and thanks to Peter for providing his suggested changes.

APNIC suggested changes are in the attached version 4 document.

With regards to APILP or APIGLP, we prefer with APILP as it is broad and inclusive which can cover a number of topics.

5.1.a
This is a very important and is a very big job but who will do it?


Regards
Sunny

I seem to be having trouble posting to the list - please forward this

Thanks Kelvin,
This is an excellent start - it seems to have been a productive
meeting at ICANN Singapore, and I am sorry I missed it.

I have made some suggested changes in Version 3 of the document which
I attach.
In proposing these, I note first how much easier it is to critique
other's work than it it is to create it - thanks again for the first
draft, which sets the scene very effectively.

Other than some changes such as numbering and some grammar edits, I
think there could be some productive discussion about a couple of items:

1. The name - as its about Internet Governance, it seems sensible to
me to include that in the name of the document and the name of the
exercise.
Its not just about "Internet Leadership" which is being done in many
areas, of registry management,  law, security etc, but specifically
about IG. I think its healthier to acknowledge and display that focus.

2. I am not accustomed to describing the Asia Pacific area as "APAC",
so started to re-name it AP - but didn't continue....happy to defer if
there is a widespread acceptance of that abbreviation.

3. I am somewhat concerned at the current focus on the domain name
industry: I have highlit the term a few times. I think both that there
is more to the IG topic than that, and also that the domain name
industry can be expected to be busy taking care of itself through such
organisations as APTLD, ICANN and the newly formed Domain Name
Association ( "DNA"). Although I think we need to be careful about
opening the door to an unlimited range of topics, I have added IP
address allocation mechanisms, multistakeholderism, online human
rights, network security and network neutrality as possible topics. In
any event, these should be signals, rather than instructions to those
who will eventually draft the actual curriculum.

4. I have separated out and made clearer the tasks of preparing the
curriculum from preparing business and financial plans to support it.


I hope these suggestion might be thought useful in furthering the
discussion - thanks.

Regards


Peter
