I'm still find my feet as to what is the full remit/ focus "reality"/ Scope of the NCUC.<br>For example, I don't see why we should be concerned about OpenNIC, as its an alternative that has too many risks associated. If we are going to choose an alternative to raise/discuss, it should be the IPV6 Chinese one...<br><br>I've been speaking with the CEO of <a href="http://www.wcit2012.org/en/">http://www.wcit2012.org/en/</a><br>They have changed their focus to discuss a harmonised approach to policy instead for the October Conference. They are discussing with various Governments, the ITU- e-governance remit does not sit with the GATT's agreement. So from what I can see e-governance is a WTO push through <a href="http://www.wcit2012.org/en/">http://www.wcit2012.org/en/</a>.<br>What is of interest is that they look to reflect the non-commercial sector yet I can't see any non-commercial representation 'official body' for the Digital Society. Which is in my view is really necessary as the ITU (unless your very rich) is expensive to join annually ($10 000). I've negotiated to be represented at the WCIT and wrote the Scottish IT Strategic Agenda for them to discuss. One of the points was about the long term representation of non-commercial environment within the Internet, under the general ethos of accredited governance.<br><br>So regarding the working group, what I found of interest, was that they seem to have some prominent players behind them, (.secure) for instance. Why I've followed this, is because I think they are running a high risk solution. What I mean by this, is if you are going to suggest a better policy for the Internet gTLD's (example) you require a clear methodology and process for review. Not just a alternative suggestion report drafted by prominent players. But as we have seen with the IRT sometimes such like reports get taken on board.<br><br>What I'm suggesting is that as there isn't a unanimously endorsed process of how an issue should be reviewed, amended or changed...which renders the legitimacy of validation fragile. <br><br>Anyway as I said, maybe this is not a NCUC issue...you'll know.<br><br>Warmly,<br><br>Kristina<o:p></o:p></span></pre></div></body></html>
