This appears to be a message for the flagpole to see who salutes but even at
this stage, I share your concern. <br>
<br>
As I read it, the EU Commissioner's construct emphatically channel a rump of
the G20 as supplanting and increasing the role of the GAC in the current ICANN
dispensation at the expense of civil society actors, including the At-Large.<br>
<br>
Hopefully those from civil society groups in Brussels will make the case for a
more inclusive role for civil society.<br>

is an interesting if predictable development. One concern I would have if it
developed is that a fully privatised ICANN taking recommendations from a G12
(with or without the end of the JPA) leaves civil society input to the
unpredictable channels of NCUC and ALAC, both of which could disappear in any
future review that views ICANN as an industry regulator.<br>
<br>
Interested in other thoughts here. This might gather speed with governments as
a sensible step forward – and although Reding sees this as a replacement for
JPA, G12 might as well exist with or without JPA as an alternative to GAC for
higher level governmental involvement.<br>
<br>
Interested in what others think about this or what impressions those attending
this meeting might have about the chance of this gathering momentum. In any
case I am concerned about the civil society role in such a model.<br>

Governance: EU Commissioner Reding calls for full privatisation and full
accountability of ICANN as of 1 October<br>
<i>In a video posted on her website this morning, Viviane Reding, EU-
Commissioner for Information Society and Media, called for greater transparency
and accountability in Internet Governance as of October 2009. Key decisions
related to Internet Governance, like top level domains and managing the
internet's core directory, are currently made by the Internet Corporation for
Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), a private not-for profit corporation
established in California. So far, ICANN has been operating under an agreement
with the US Department of Commerce. However, this agreement expires on 30
September this year. For the time after, Commissioner Reding today outlined a
new governance model for the internet. This would include a fully private and
accountable ICANN, accompanied by an independent judicial body, as well as a "G12
for Internet</i></span></b><b><i><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:

governments to discuss general internet governance policy and security issues. <br>
</span></i></b><i><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>"I
trust that President Obama will have the courage, the wisdom and the respect
for the global nature of the internet to pave the way in September for a new,
more accountable, more transparent, more democratic and more multilateral form
of Internet Governance," </span></i><span style='font-size:11.0pt;
font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>said EU<i> </i>Commissioner Viviane Reding
in her Internet video message this morning.<i> "The time to act is now.
And Europe will be ready to support President Obama in his efforts."</i> <br>
<br>
Reding stressed that<i> "a moment of truth will come on 30 September this
year, when the current agreement between ICANN and the US Government expires.
This opens the door for the full privatisation of ICANN; and it also raises the
question of to whom ICANN should be accountable, as from 1 October."<br>
</i><br>
ICANN deals with some of most sensitive issues related to Internet Governance,
such as top level domains or management of the internet address system that
ensures that millions of computers can connect to each other. ICANN was
established in 1998 in California, under an agreement with the US government.<br>
<br>
<i>"Accountability of ICANN is a must,"</i> said Reding. <i>"The
Clinton administration's decision to progressively privatize the internet's
domain name and addressing system is the right one. In the long run, it is not
defendable that the government department of only one country has oversight of
an internet function which is used by hundreds of millions of people in
countries all over the world."<br>
</i><br>
EU Commissioner Reding also outlined how <b>a new model of Internet Governance</b>
could be shaped after 30 September. It could include in particular the
