Just a quick note to advise that ICANN last night hosted representatives from a range of Registries and Registrars at our office in Marina Del Rey in California.
It was a precursor to a North American Regional gathering that was held today and will continue tommorrow. Around 65 people are in attendance. Amongst others, I attended today and gave a presentation on what we are doing on transparency and accountability and other things. Not surprisingly the meeting had a strong business focus. I think transparency and accountability are crucial for business certainty.
The other thing I think that is crucial – not just for business – is certainty of process. I think we can do more at ICANN to make our processes clearer and more certain for users as a result.
More reflections on this last point in the future.
But for now – thanks to Tim Cole and Craig Schwartz from ICANN for organising the event.
How about an update later in the week Tim/Craig?

Transparency and accountability are definitely key – key for good business, key for profitable business, key for sustainable business. Most companies and organisations recognise this – or say this – because it’s what the textbooks would say. But most companies or organisations will still do nothing about it, and will merely just give lip service in this area.
A company that actually does something about it is a different story altogether – you’ve got to ask if this is the kind of organisation you’re going to be. Will you be serious about it, or just talk about it?

I think this might actually be a new form of human-produced or cleverly produced contextual comment spam.
This comment *appears* to make sense but doesn’t actually say anything. If someone wants to retain this comment, you will get an email noting this response so if you reply noting what my response says, then it can stay up, but otherwise it will be treated as spam and blocked.
