[governance] VIDEO: House Hearing - Internet Governance Progress After ICANN 53

[Joly MacFie]

Fadi and Larry were up in front of the Congress today to give an update -
not only on IANA, but also new gTLDs. Among the tricky IANA aspects: "How
to ensure that stakeholder groups – supporting organizations (SOs) and
advisory committees (ACs) in ICANN parlance – would have standing under
California law to enforce the changes to the bylaws;  How to incorporate
the Government Advisory Committee (GAC) into the new ICANN structure
without increasing its power relative to the other SOs and ACs; and,  How
to resolve outstanding questions regarding the potential for lawsuits that
could impact the SOs and ACs."  A CCWG proposal for an ICANN membership
structure bit the dust in Buenos Aires, and we are pretty much back to the
drawing board on this.   On gTLDS, issues such as .amazon, .wine/.vin, and
.sucks were discussed. Enjoy!
