A while back, I was able to leave comments (just a handful over several months) and noticed that at a certain point in time, I was no longer able to use my e-mail address/website link. My e-mail address is based on Dot-LA as is my website address. Now, I'm forced to participate in a more obscure basis via an ISP e-mail address for concern that I won't be able to express my thoughts on this blog. Can you please explain whether, or not, ICANN is preventing certain individuals from participating on this blog? I'm willing to take this question off-line via e-mail or phone. Thanks Kieren,

The video has now been translated into Arabic, Chinese, French, Spanish and Russian and all of these transcriptions are available on the video itself by clicking the language box at the bottom of the video. The English transcript has also been added to this post - see above. Kieren A second quick update.

Then those who prefer HTML/ASCII text can access it directly, whereas those who prefer to wade through 6+ minutes of video/flash each time they want to find the quote they were looking for can choose the video.

I hope you also took the opportunity to make these points during the first comment period. If so, you should see them reflected in the upcoming summary and analysis of comments. There will also be a second public comment period starting soon where I hope you will also make any comments you feel appropriate following review of the summary/analysis and the revised Applicant Guidebook. <a href="http://blog.icann.org/wp-admin/comment.php?action=editcomment&c=16024" rel="nofollow">@ George Kirikos</a> and <a href="http://blog.icann.org/wp-admin/comment.php?action=editcomment&c=16025" rel="nofollow">Denis Rice</a>: I'm afraid I have to disagree with you wrt the use of video. Video is an extremely effective means of communication and certainly in this context I would argue is more effective than a text update (incidentally, we also put out an <a href="http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-3-09jan09-en.htm" rel="nofollow">extensive text update</a> on the process on 9 January). The whole point is that ICANN staff are attempting to communicate as widely as possible, and in as many different formats as possible, news of progress on the Applicant Guidebook prior to the release of the revised guidebook. From the feedback we have received so far, and from the number of people that have watched the video - currently over 1,100 - I would argue that this video approach has been extremely effective. When we have the transcript translated into another five languages, we will also be able to explain to the wider Internet community the process that ICANN is following. It may seem daft to point this out, but the existence of a video has no impact on the revised text that will be released for community review and which will be the guide used for the new gTLD process. What the video should help to do is build up greater awareness and so result in more eyes looking at the actual text - and that can only be a good thing.

I know the officers like to see their visages on the web, but I think consideration should be given to those of us who are still trying to evaluate the pros and cons of this new regime in these difficult economic times.
