[governance] JPA

[William Drake]

The ICC has come out against ending the JPA until ICANN addresses

1. Safeguard against capture, of all types
2. Accountability and transparency
3. Contract compliance
4. Streamlining priorities and processes to increase meaningful  
participation

One of the rather few occasions I can recall where ICC and ISOC had  
different positions on IG...


Meanwhile, CDT, which is probably the most influential NGO on Capitol  
Hill re: IG, says the JPA should be extended for one year to allow  
international dialogue and consensus building and so that ICANN can

1. Affirm, in a Binding Fashion, a Narrow Mandate
2. Recommit to the Consensus Principle and Articulate Precise and  
Exclusive
Criteria for Decision-Making
3. Develop an Accessible and Credible System of Quasi-Judicial Review
4. Establish a Suitable Relationship with Governments
5. Improve and Institutionalize the Transparency and Reliability of Its
Processes
