In preparation for the ICANN Board-GAC consultation in Brussels on 28 February and 1 March 2011, ICANN has prepared briefing papers to address the 12 topics identified in the GAC’s Cartagena communiqué as “…outstanding and require additional discussion between the Board and the GAC.” As some of the topics were considered to overlap or be inter-related, more than one topic is covered in some of the briefing papers. The aim of the briefing papers is to identify the areas of difference which remain between the ICANN Board and the GAC on the nominated topics to focus the discussion on the issues in Brussels. These areas of difference have been identified through the GAC Principles on New gTLDs, GAC communications to the Board on the new gTLD program, and GAC communiqués.

Following efforts by the well-funded trademark holder’s lobby to browbeat ICANN into submission over their desire (only partially successful) to scuttle the introduction of new gTLDs, the Recording Industry Association of America has also joined the fight. The RIAA’s Deputy General Counsel has written a threatening submission to ICANN that begins, albeit not too threateningly, saying the RIAA’s “overriding concern is to ensure that any music themed gTLD is used productively and responsibly, and not as a means to facilitate copyright or trademark infringement.” ICANN though is not the content police, and has just as much a role in ensuring that content (or behaviour) on any TLD, not just new gTLDs, abides by laws around the world as I would have thought does a recording company have on what one of its artists says or does. The RIAA ridiculously says that “under the current proposed standard, we fear that we will have no realistic ability to object if a pirate chooses to hijack a music themed gTLD to enable wide scale copyright infringement of our works.” The RIAA then complains about ICANN’s lack of transparency.
