I downloaded the complete video from RIPE and watched it a few times. I was also watching live.
Its large - but if you can do, download it and watch it. https://ripe74.ripe.net/archive/video/Andrew_Alston-Anti-Shutdown_Policies_-_The_Rationale-20170508-171822.mp4' Then again, when the Chairman of ICANN stands up and says that ICANN can help. "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. 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. 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.

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.

I'd say he was more worried about the policy being used for much more than it is currently intended for.
