Marilyn,

Can I ask who answered the Antitrust questions so that I may look them up in
the archives?  I do not mean to bring this up again, but when criminal laws
are possibly implicated, I would like to be 100% certain.

Thanks.

A few of you missed the time of the call, noted in the subject  line:

2:00 p.m. EST, US, through 4:00 p.m.

I added Louie as well... sorry, Louie, missed you on the first email.  A
couple of questions for you/Dan at the end of the original email. My
apologies for the spell check error in one of the questions. Should read:
Important enough... while I don't believe it a problem, I'd like some
feedback from the legal staff.

The other questions regarding the "anti-trust" which I believe have been
answered, answered, answered... sorry, got stuck there a bit, can be
answered AGAIN, so it is off the table and everyone feels comfortable.

 ONE MORE TIME: IF your constituency has concerns, you are responsible to
air them with the TF, so the TF can decide how/whether to address them.
These are important times for ICANN and its processes -- none of us wants to
be part of failing in our responsibilty nor contributing to the naysayers
about ICANN's ability to achieve its goals and perform its overall
responsibilities, regardless of where we come out on a particular decision.

Regards, Marilyn

of the constituencies is questioning the voting privileges of another

You need to advise me of who will cast your vote.

under discussion and relate to the TF, should have been raised within the
TF.  Further, as chair, and someone who considers the integrity of the TF
work important, as I would hope you all would, if your constituency is
planning such a challenge at the NC on Wednesday, you really should advise
the TF of this. It isn't fair to the work of the TF, which has a robust
agenda, beyond WLS, to conduct such discussions externally, which will have
a negative impact on the trust level and internal cooperation of the TF, and
not advise the TF. This might be viewed as a strategy to affect the outcome
of a single vote, but it will also have the effect of undermining the Task
Force, and generally, the integrity of the policy development process. While
you might think it good for your constituency, it definitely is  not good
for the NC or ICANN.

about what our recommendations are, where we may differ.

the NC level for just this same purpose.  We don't want the community to be

otherwise.

Monday's call.

have been advised by a registrar that they have been advised that Registrars

been under the impression that their participation raises anti-trust issues.
I have asked the ICANN staff to advise on that area.

presented with the recommendation on Wednesday.

NC to spring concerns on the TF and each other at the NC level.  :-)  I am
sure that won't happen.  :-) Respect, after all, for both each other as
individuals, and for the process of working together, even when we disagree,
in a trustworthy environment, is key.
