[governance] IGF 2012 - CIR?

[Carlos A. Afonso]

Dear people,

The February synthesis paper of the open consultations published in the
IGF official site mentions the following regarding "critical Internet
resources":

25. In terms of Critical Internet Resources it was seen by several
commentators that further debate is needed around issues such as the
institutional structure of IG, including the future of ICANN, IP
addressing, root servers and Internet exchange points.

26. Several suggestions were made for the Critical Internet Issues
theme, including, inter alia;

• Best Practices for eliminating barriers to access to the Internet;

• IPv6 and the impact and opportunities for the developing world that
may result from the transition to IPv6 and how does the coming depletion
of IPv4 addresses affect developing countries?

• What is the effect of the deployment of multilingual domain names,
i.e. IDN.IDN?

• Issues of ICANN's naming policy and the impact of the new gTLDs and
IDN gTLDs;

• Technical issues such as DNS blocking and how such technical issues
drive or impact policy.

--- end doc citation ---

In light of the ongoing ITU process leading to WCIT 2012 aiming at,
among other goals, radically revising the 1988 ITR to try to take
account of the ICT challenges posed by the Internet, I think the above
points are far from sufficient.

At a minimum, IGF's CIR "track" should include a review of the ITU
meetings' outcomes.

fraternal regards

--c.a.
