<p>I downloaded the complete video from RIPE and watched it a few
times. I was also watching live.</p>
<p>Its large - but if you can do, download it and watch it.</p>

<p>Then again, when the Chairman of ICANN stands up and says that
ICANN can help. <br>
</p>
<p>"Hi, my name is Steve Crocker, I am Chairman of ICANN and I'm
here to help you. (Regarding) take out of the root the affected
ccTLD names" and he then volunteered assistance from ICANN staff -
also saying it would take between two and five years to get to a
decision whether to proceed or not.</p>
<p>The current policy concept does not go that far - but to me -
certainly suggests that the idea of punitive actions against
governments is worth looking at.</p>
<p>I regard it like a nuclear bomb. When in the hands of sane people
(RIR's and ICANN), it is a threat - to persuade bad actors to have
second thoughts against cutting people off from access to the
Internet. If governments choose to cut people off from access to
the Internet for political reasons, to me this is undermining the
core mission of ICANN and the RIR's, both of whom have the
potential power to do something in return. We need to enable that
power from being simply a potential to being ready for use and
hope its never needed to be used.<br>

Leslie Daigle of ISOC agrees that there is a problem. She has
concerns but sounded to me more would like to see something. She
just doesn't want to see dialogue being undermined by this policy.<br>
<br>
Perhaps talk is not enough?<br>

I'd say he was more worried about the policy being used for much
more than it is currently intended for. (referenced to the colour of
people's hair as a reason to cut them off the Internet).<br>

<div style="direction:ltr">I think for myself, the
most important thing I have seen at RIPE so far, is
the huge willingness by people from every walk of
life to engage in dialog and discussion over this,
and it was heartening to see both my own positions
and the positions of those I was discussing with
shift as explanations were given and questions were
asked and answered. Since giving that presentation
I have barely had a minute to think as people
approached me to talk this through - and I really
hope to see such engagement in Nairobi, because it
truly showed the benefit of a multi stakeholder
approach where open dialog and communication can
happen, even in the absence of agreement and in the
face of controversial material where people hold
strong and emotive views.</div>

<div>Dear Colleagues.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>You might want to see the presentation of the
controversial draft anti-shutdown policy
(AFPUB-2017-GEN-001-DRAFT-01) at a recent RIPE
meeting. I found the questions/comments from the
RIPE community similar to that shared by many on the
RPD, mostly about the inappropriateness of such
policy in our region… or any other for that matter.
Enjoy watching it.</div>
