<html><head></head><body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><div>Hi Tulika</div><div><br></div><div> There is a MAG + working group that is actively debating the topics and questions for the CIR session. Jennifer Warren of Lockheed Corp, Is the facilitator. The discussion unfortunately has fallen short of being consensual, with Avri and I arguing for inclusion of the WCIT and other geopolitical topics like enhanced cooperation, contentious string selection, and jurisdiction and extraterritoriality (SOPA, ICE, etc) we think are likely to be of broad interest in November, while business folks have been less receptive to these matters and are plumping instead for more narrow gauge and technical topics like Internet of Things, IPv6 (again!), migration of resources to IP nets, and spectrum/mobile. I don't know Where this end up, but my hope is that we can arrive at a balanced compromise on four topics that gives each side a bit of what it wants, the government reps on the list have been silent, and it would be helpful to hear their thoughts either way. Since you are not on the (still active) 2011 MAG I don't know if you can join, but you might try, otherwise I'd be happy to pass along any statements from you as inputs.</div><div><br></div><div>Best</div><div><br></div><div>Bill<br><br><div><br></div></div><div><br>On Mar 2, 2012, at 18:02, TULIKA PANDEY <<a href="mailto:tulika@nic.in">tulika@nic.in</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><div></div><blockquote type="cite"><div>Dear All,<div><br></div><div>I would like to hear some response to Carlos's concerns and inputs for the CIR session as I tend to agree with all his suggestions, especially his inputs on ITU initiatives.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Tulika Pandey<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Feb 26, 2012 at 7:29 PM, Carlos A.

<br>
The February synthesis paper of the open consultations published in the<br>
IGF official site mentions the following regarding "critical Internet<br>
resources":<br>
<br>
--- begin doc citation ---<br>
<br>
25. In terms of Critical Internet Resources it was seen by several<br>
commentators that further debate is needed around issues such as the<br>
institutional structure of IG, including the future of ICANN, IP<br>
addressing, root servers and Internet exchange points.<br>
<br>
26. Several suggestions were made for the Critical Internet Issues<br>
theme, including, inter alia;<br>
<br>
• Best Practices for eliminating barriers to access to the Internet;<br>
<br>
• IPv6 and the impact and opportunities for the developing world that<br>
may result from the transition to IPv6 and how does the coming depletion<br>
of IPv4 addresses affect developing countries?<br>
<br>
• What is the effect of the deployment of multilingual domain names,<br>
i.e. IDN.IDN?<br>
<br>
• Issues of ICANN's naming policy and the impact of the new gTLDs and<br>
IDN gTLDs;<br>
<br>
• Technical issues such as DNS blocking and how such technical issues<br>
drive or impact policy.<br>
<br>

<br>
In light of the ongoing ITU process leading to WCIT 2012 aiming at,<br>
among other goals, radically revising the 1988 ITR to try to take<br>
account of the ICT challenges posed by the Internet, I think the above<br>
points are far from sufficient.<br>
<br>
At a minimum, IGF's CIR "track" should include a review of the ITU<br>
meetings' outcomes.<br>
<br>
