[ga] RIRs on the Second Interim Report

[DannyYounger@cs.com]

To:  Vint Cerf, Alejandro Pissanty, Stuart Lynn
 
From:  APNIC, ARIN, RIPE NCC
 
Subject:  The ICANN Reform Process
 
This message is being sent to the Chair of ICANN Board, the Chair of the
ICANN ERC, and the ICANN President and CEO.  It is also being sent to
the ERC comment list.
  
This is to acknowledge the teleconference that occurred on 10 September
2002.  Participants were ICANN (Stuart Lynn, Louis Touton) and APNIC
(Geoff Huston, Paul Wilson).  While the APNIC participants were not
speaking on behalf of ARIN and RIPE NCC, they were conveying the intent
of the RIRs as stated in the two carefully prepared and coordinated
papers commenting on ICANN reform.  The APNIC participants of the call
did not hear any indication that ICANN was reading these papers nor did
they get any specific response to any of the points raised in those
position papers.  Therefore the RIRs make the following statement:
 
1.  The RIRs are dismayed with the second interim report of the ICANN
E&R Committee in terms of the lack of consideration and response to the
submissions of the RIRs to ICANN. 
 
2.  In the light of this, the RIRs are unwilling to accept the proposed
changes to the composition of the ASO, the proposed changes to the
support mechanisms of the ASO and proposed changes to the role of the
ASO within ICANN.
 
3.  The RIRs will be providing a substantive blueprint for reform within
the next several days.
 
Sincerely yours,
 

Paul Wilson
