Dear Stuart, On behalf of ETSI, please find enclosed the contribution agreed by ETSI to the ongoing discussion on ICANN reform. This document is the first reaction of ETSI to the initial proposal made by you and drawn to the attention of the PSO PC on the 25th of February. ETSI will send further comments as the discussion process goes on. The PSO PC decided in our last teleconference meeting that each of the four PSO member organizations will decide on whether or not and how to react and contribute to this open debate on ICANN reform. Should you need any clarification on the content of the attached contribution, please contact me or Mr Tapio Kaijanen, my colleague ETSI representative in the PSO PC.

Best regards, Vlad -----Original Message----- From: M. Stuart Lynn [mailto:lynn@icann.org] Sent: Sunday, February 24, 2002 11:50 PM To: 'vladmir.androuchko@itu.int' Subject: Proposal for ICANN reform Vladimir: Could I possibly prevail on you to share the appended note with the Protocol Council. Thank you. Stuart Dear colleagues: This is to give you a heads-up that I presented a proposal for major ICANN reform to the Board at its retreat this weekend. The Board discussed the proposal carefully and encouraged me to post it for public comment and suggestions. The proposal can be found at http://www.icann.org/general/lynn-reform-proposal-24feb02.htm, This proposal is based on my firm belief arrived at after serving in this job for a year, that, for the reasons discussed in the document ICANN cannot achieve its mission without major reforms. I have not arrived at this decision easily. I also do not believe for a moment that the problems we are facing can be solved by tinkering with our present situation. Continuing on the present course will lead us nowhere. We have to think about a very different kind of ICANN, one that can be much more effective but one that retains our essential core values of openness, transparency, and participation. I am convinced that with the right kind of reforms, we can not only achieve our mission but accomplish more and do it better. Major reforms are very unsettling and can cause much confusion and uncertainty. I do not expect the community will come to grasp all the reasons behind these proposals right away. A few may judge these proposals by what it means for them. I am confident, however, that given time for dialog and understanding, most of the community will consider what I am proposing in the broader context of what is best for the Internet as a whole and will come to understand why we must act and move forward along the lines I am proposing. I will look forward to opportunities to discuss these proposals with you over the coming weeks. I will also look forward to your thoughtful feedback and suggestions. Please feel free to share this note.
