ICANN Thursday
Today - the public forum. Not enough time for public comments. Many many reports.
This afternoon - endless board huddling. All discussions are over before dinner, which doesn’t always happen.
One more meeting, and then a break for the evening.
Tomorrow: back to telecom policy again.
ICANN Wednesday
This morning, the GNSO Council voted neither to adopt OPOC nor to sunset the current whois clauses (all jargon unpacked in yesterday’s post). AP story here, WIRED story here. The report that the board gets about this result should be useful in making clear exactly what the obstacles were to changing the status quo.
This afternoon was taken up with board committee meetings, a meeting about the accountability/transparency of ICANN, and meetings about the strategic plan.
Tomorrow - more meetings. The public forum in the morning - webcast - and then the board huddles all afternoon and evening.
At some point, someday, this blog will do more than report meetings, but for right now that’s all I can manage.
