Making ICANN Relevant, Responsive and Respected" (R3 White Paper)

The introduction of the document White Paper's introduction mentions that professionals and internet users in general considered that consider ICANN has played quite well the role of technical coordinationcoordinator quite well, but does not give specific references to it are given. And in general, in the document does not give references of this. Generally throughout the document this continues with no references given to the sources of the various points that are dealt, which questions the basis upon which the recommendations are then made recommendations.

With regard to challenges to adapt to the changes:

1) The global public interestGlobal Public Interest;

We share the belief agree that the affirmation of commitments from ICANN has a big challenge challenges ahead and that public interest is a dynamic concept which is not easy to adapt.

We believe observe that the document is not clear since it mentions unclear, in mentioning that ICANN has a concept of public interest but does not mention whichdefine that concept. It would be best to mention it for a better feeedback. It should be defined that he is meant by is recommended that such definition be inserted for reference purposes. Further, the definition of "clear strategy of participation" , since the text it does not arise. And it would be good must also be included; this is useful for readers to know the reasons why ICANN need needs mechanisms for not being captive of one of creating balanced input of its constituent units , as part of the Multi-stakeholder model (perhaps an example would be good. And mentioned which parts of the participation mechanisms that are not clearappropriate), as well as the ways in which participation mechanisms can take place.

In the strategic plan referred to, within one of the strategic areas area of focus called "A healthy ecosystem of Internet governance" within the strategic plan, some strategic objectives are ease of global participation and , increase the diversity of work of stakeholders and between stakeholders. Not to mention that increase of diversity of stakeholders' work. Also within the roles of the Board is as follows: "The fundamental responsibility of Directors (as defined below) is to exercise their business judgment to act in what they reasonably believe to be the best interests of ICANN and in the global public interest, taking account of the interests of the Internet community as a whole rather than any individual or interest group."

...

The term public interest should be part of the ICANN strategic plan, we know that the plan is divided into 4 approaches www.icann.org/en/about/planning/strategic/strategic-plan-2012-2015-18may12-en.pdf, and the public interest is the sum of all of them, therefore the accountability and impact reports are so also important.

(2) T he Multi-Stakeholder System - A choice for the future;

We are in agreement that ICANN has not introduced innovations to the model. Model never worked before Previous models with greater participation of government agencies and other actors who are able to exert influencesinfluential actors failed, so without doubt the model this Model is always tested and must adapt to new realities.

We agree with the Group on the need for real efforts by all parties which make up constitute ICANN. The balance to be searched challenge being that the balance is increasingly difficult to find when participation is higher. And levels are higher; and it is the same evolution that makes it necessary to revise the statutesrules, since the conditions and realities that were considered at the time of its dictates are not the same today.

We should be more involved with internal communities of ICANN, such as the RALOS.

Recommendations:

We agree with the recommendations given by the members of the group.As a recommendation, it but would be interesting further recommend that GAC resolutions could be public also.

We believe that the model also needs requires mobility of people within the constituent units, since the community sees that they are always recognises that there is the danger of the same people in the same group of positions or rotating between a fewthemselves, and there is no renewal of  new participants.

Likewise, model needs emphasizing to emphasize scholarship programs, like including the fellowship program, which allows new and greater participation from all sectors. And the The development of programs that allow increased participation must not be neglected.

(3) Global Governance, and

With respect to internal governance, we agree with the issues raised by the group , with an emphasis on policies of conflicts of interest that have the greatest impact in the community. A reference document should be carried out with detailing the weaknesses mentioned in the documentWhite Paper should be included.

Recommendations:

We agree with the recommendations given by the members of the group . We just want and wish to highlight the importance of the reforms of the Committee on nominations relating to the NOMCOM and the role of the Ombudsman. They are These important structures of internal governance , which by their functions should have transparency and clarity in its must have transparent and clear functions and procedures.

(4) Institutional and Practical Cooperation.

These The non techniques technical issues that mentioned the document White Paper which has have an impact on the work of ICANN , are most preexisting mostly pre-exist ICANN or Internet and yet have direct impact on the internet community in ways such as social, economic, labor and institutional, so . Therefore ICANN must make sure to assess the impact of their policies to not adversely affect adversely several aspects that are out these non technical aspects in the execution of their duties.For the achievement of this goal ICANN should  ICANN should therefore interact with all organizations trying to cooperate or coordinate various activities taking advantage of the multi cooperating or coordinating organizations in the various activities, this will leverage on the multi-stakeholder model that currently operates.

...

We agree with the recommendations given by the members of the group. We underline the need for permanent ensuring permanent and but dynamic relations with the rest of the players all stakeholders in the Internet ecosystem of the internet (http://icann.xplane.com) and development networks, perhaps . This may take place through conventions, work in Assembly Assemblies or event organization planplans.

Highlights that ICANN should also take advantage of it own human resources, since most of those involved in ICANN, as the majority of ICANN participants are also active in many other Internet governance forums or in institutions relating to the Internet..
