Cities are amongst some of our oldest institutions. So I just want to show a couple of quick slides for some context. So luckily, the IGC was able to help sponsor this event and here we are. And I thought that the cities are not learning from one another for one thing and the public is not engaged in the process. But in 2010 the process went dark as governments started to get involved. It was a document that we talked about that enabled cities to talk to each other and we have a draft of that. And at the time we talked about a Paris Understanding. In 2005 I got a call from a fellow who encouraged me to get reengaged in the process and who will remain nameless but he said that they were just about to finish, the ICANN was about to finish the process and that I should get involved because we would be able to get involved in perhaps a second round of city TLDs but I started looking in to it and in 2006 I got involved I committed to and formed a non profit organisation and attended an ICANN student session in Prague that was hosted by my neighbor Wolfgang and ICANN passed a new TLD resolution which included major cities which Dirk had provided a good deal of effort in to it as well as others. Basically said that the city should require dotNYC and develop it as a public resource. I have a couple of slides here for about five minutes that will explain how I came here and I guess all of you can follow through.Īnd although I was involved very briefly in 1998 when ICANN was being formed my first time came in 2001 as ground roots governance. The $185,000 fee proposed by ICANN would turn the Internet in to a less than permissible situation. And she was unable to talk to you about the concerns about the pricing issues as they affect the Africa countries. And I want to make a word about Hawa Diakite of Mali. This is a thanks, first of all, to the Internet Governance Caucus and the Internet Governance Forum for enabling this presentation. I am going to provide a little information about this. And so welcome to City TLD Governance of Best Practices. So I would like I have a little guide, that I can if it is on the screen there that's good to connect with, but and there it is. I hope he is and we are working with Jonathan and we hope that you will be able to participate with your voice at a certain point. And we will try and work that out if we are lucky and I am not sure if Jonathan is listening in at this point. It seems like there are problems in connecting with Hong Kong and we are hoping that a Skype message might get through and there is a loop of some sort that is causing difficulties. > THOMAS LOWENHAUPT: So we are going to get started. It is posted as an aid to understanding the proceedings at the session, but should not be treated as an authoritative record. Although it is largely accurate, in some cases it may be incomplete or inaccurate due to inaudible passages or transcription errors. Note: The following is the output of the real-time captioning taken during Fifth Meeting of the IGF, in Vilnius.
