IGC members have differing opinions on this issue, but share a
widespread concern that the continued existence of the JPA is actually
a barrier to effective global co-operation in Internet governance. As
such, it is seen as hindering the levels of global co-operation
necessary to ensure the security and stability of the Internet. Global
co-operation will be enhanced by a transition beyond the JPA to a
situation where all stakeholders feel that they have equitable
arrangements for participation. Therefore, all of us believe the JPA
should be ended as soon as is practical.<br>
<br>
Some of us believe that time is now, and that the JPA is an ineffective
mechanism to deal with the problems that must be resolved as ICANN
develops. On the other hand, some of us believe that a short term
extension of the JPA might be the most effective means to ensure that
ICANN does take on board necessary changes. We believe that, if this
extension is pursued, the JPA should in future be reviewed (and
extended if necessary) annually."</span></font></font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"><br>
I agree with Bill's comments on this that the last sentence above be
cut and the following sentence be added in the end. <br>
<br>
"</font>"Others of us believe that the JPA should be retained for now
but be
replaced as soon feasible by a new global, multistakeholder framework
for accountability, the development of which should commence in early
2010."<br>
<br>
With these changes the text should be fine with me for an IGC
statement. <br>

<div>Looking over the recent comments, I'm not clear on why you think
they require gutting the statement and simply endorsing generic
principles that already apply to varying degrees. The prior text, if
amended to take on board some tweaks that were suggested, seemed fairly
balanced and accommodative of the various views expressed. </div>

think our only path forward is a much reduced response which
concentrates on principles. So at this stage what I would propose for a
consensus call in 24 hours or so is what follows. I would be happy
however for someone else to suggest a wider ranging draft covering
additional points, but I have come to the conclusion that anything we
are likely to agree on at this stage would only take emphasis away from
the main points we want to make.<br>
<br>
I have dropped all references to models and the varying arguments as to
whether the JPA should continue or not. I do suggest that people make
individual submissions to cover their concerns in this area. For IGC as
a whole, I think we have to aim for something much simpler. <br>
<br>
My new suggested draft follows. Let me know what you think of this
approach, and of course any suggested improvements in wording.<br>

style="font-size: 12pt;">The Internet Governance Caucus is a global
coalition of civil society and non governmental organisations and
individuals actively involved the UN’s Internet Governance Forum (IGF)
process. Formed during the lead up to the World Summit on the
Information Society (WSIS), our mission is to provide a forum for
discussion, advocacy, action, and for representation of civil society
contributions in Internet governance processes. We have several
hundred members, with a wide spread of geographic representation; more
about our coalition can be found at <a moz-do-not-send="true"

<br>
We are thankful for the opportunity to comment on the JPA with ICANN,
and respectfully submit as follows.<br>
<br>
In responding to your call for comments, we are mindful of the WSIS
principles, which " recognize that Internet governance, carried out
according to the Geneva principles, is an essential element for a
people-centred, inclusive, development-oriented and non-discriminatory
Information Society”. We also recognise the need for high levels of
global co-operation from all stakeholder groups to ensure Internet
stability and security. <br>
<br>
Irrespective of whether the JPA continues or not, we believe that
certain principles outlined below need to be embedded in ICANN’s
operation. We believe these should be covered by an undertaking by
ICANN to perpetuate in its constitution, by laws, or some similar
accountability mechanism, various principles which follow. The
principles need to be embedded in such a way as to ensure they cannot
easily be changed to exclude any stakeholder group. The principles
which need to be permanently embedded are:<br>

management" with “multistakeholder management”, in line with the
multistakeholder principle which has evolved from the World Summit on
the Information Society and the Internet Governance Forum process which
the US Government has supported, and which is an important facet, we
believe, of effective internet governance arrangements.<br>
<br>
We think the establishment of firm principles to guide the evolution of
a model is the appropriate way to proceed. This should explicitly
recognize that ICANN is a global governance institution with regulatory
authority over an industry (domain name registration) and over critical
resources (IP addresses, root servers and addresses). The standards of
due process, rights, and accountability that apply to ICANN must be
developed with these facts in mind. <br>
