[governance] Comments from Bill Drake [attachment]

[Lee McKnight]

Hi Bill,

Re your suggested deletion of my EU paragraph:

The point was to line up CS, the EU, WGIG, and the US all in favor of
Internet first principles, namely 'openness, interoperability and the
end-to-end principle.'  Your edit takes that phrase out.  I say we put
it back in; I know the EC-crats are proud of themselves for having
gotten their member governments to stand up and salute that phrase.  So
I doubt they will object to CS citing their document's use of the
phrase. But we can say it ourselves without reference to the EU, if you
prefer, as it's not like they thought of it first, just that they are
the ones most explicitly pushing it at the international level this
minute. So I don't see any harm in patting them on the back for 'getting
it.' 

But whatever, as long as the phrase remains in the CS doc, I don't
otherwise mind toning down the praise for the EU. 

Finally, note that by including explicitly the phrase, we also give CS
political cover from others who might suggest we are lining up with
those looking to overly control the net.

Hi,

I attach some additional suggested revisions, comments in bold.  I
agree
with Rony Koven on Art. 29, or at least think this needs clarification
by
whoever wrote it.  I understand Lee's intention, but suggest dialing
back
the praise for the EC slightly.  The question of whether and in what
manner the US should declare its intention not to monkey with the zone
file for political purposes is an interesting one that needs some
discussion, methinks.  Comments in bold.

Best,

Bill
