The London School of Economics Public Policy Group is seeking feedback on the ICANN Generic Names Supporting Organisation (GNSO). You can give your feedback at this site. And here's what they have to say about the review and comment collection efforts:
The LSE Public Policy Group has been commissioned by ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) to carry out an independent review of the Generic Names Supporting Organisation (GNSO). GNSO is the specific part of ICANN responsible for developing and recommending to the ICANN Board policies relating to generic Top Level Domains (gTLD).
During March 2006 we will be using this website to collect comments and views from as wide a range of global stakeholders as possible on the performance of GNSO in developing policy recommendations for ICANN. We would like to get your views in particular:
• How well the GNSO represents Internet users worldwide;
• How effectively the GNSO translates global views into policies;
• How transparent and open is the GNSO in its work; and
• What are the main challenges for the GNSO in the next few years?
We offer three main ways for you or your organisation to have your say on GNSO:
• Online surveys for different groups of Internet users or service providers;
• Web discussion forum; and
• Email posting facility.
In order to increase international feedback, we have provided as much information as possible in different world languages. Our surveys however are in English only due to limited resources. Please see the Glossary and Terms of Reference for information on the scope and objectives of this Review.
