In an exchange of views on the NARALO list, the following brief statements were made:

Wendy: "I believe it is not ICANN's or registrars' role to address criminal activity, beyond not knowingly aiding it."

Beau: "I actually fundamentally disagree with that position. And that position is distilled from what I know from the "consumer" or "user" community."

Would the candidates care to elaborate further?

Thanks,
Danny Younger

ICANN lacks the due process requirements built into government, and its processes have been notoriously lacking in transparency. I would therefore recommend against giving it greater reach into defining and constraining individuals' online expression and innovation.

Further, every additional requirement we place on registrars adds to the cost of an individual domain name registration and adds barriers especially to unpopular speech. I don't want a welter of inconsistent "terms of service" facing someone who tries to register a stable location for political organizing. (I take negative example from the spam wars, where blacklists frequently overblock, and don't want ICANN instutiting anything similar directly or through contract.)

Thanks, Wendy

If ICANN doesn't have the authority to enforce compliance instruments such as the RAA, then I'm not sure what the point of ICANN is. If its destiny is to evolve into a trade association, so be it. But even trade associations are active in developing consensus and guidelines on best practices. I'm not sure ICANN and its communities have demonstrated the maturity to self-police.
