New ICANN Bylaws
by Hillary Jett Sept. 22, 2016

Sept. 22, 2016

Original link: https://www.icann.org/news/blog/new-icann-bylaws New ICANN Bylaws Author: Steve Crocker Today, on behalf of the ICANN Board, I am pleased to announce the adoption of the new ICANN Bylaws, which reflect changes made as a result of the IANA Stewardship Transition package of proposals. The new Bylaws are the result of hundreds of hours of work by the community and the legal teams. The Regional Internet Registries Service Level Agreement and Internet Engineering Task Force Memorandum of Understanding Supplemental Agreement have also been approved for signing and will go into effect after the transition. Later today, ICANN will be transmitting the new Bylaws to the U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA). NTIA has previously stated that adoption of the new Bylaws is required for them to complete their review of the proposals, which is expected to occur in June. This is an important milestone for ICANN and the community. As we await the release of NTIA’s report, we continue to prepare for implementation of the transition proposals. We thank everyone for their continued hard work and support during this transition process. -- Hillary Jett Communications Coordinator Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Mobile: +1 (202) 674-3403 Email: hillary.jett(a)icann.org

I have been on both sides of non-disclosure agreements - both ones requested by me and ones requested by my clients. Typically, a client (in the position of ICANN) may request that a consultant sign an NDA so as to protect the confidentiality of its efforts or its intellectual property. Sometimes a consultant might have a proprietary methodology or process that they are using on behalf of the client that they wish to protect. Neither circumstance applies here that I can see. And in no case that I am aware of has a client ever asked me to keep confidential my fee ... I don't broadcast them, but I'm in the private sector. For ICANN, which is an NGO acting in the global public interest, I cannot see any reason at all why ICANN would want or agree to a confidentiality arrangement as to the size of the fee paid.

I also think that anyone who is in this category, should have to declare if they re also representing companies in a SO/AC. Or advising governments. In the BC, we do not allow an ICANN consultant to be a BC member, regardless of the amount, but if someone is a backdoor advisor to ICANN and also a group of entities, in a SO/AC, that would not be so obvious, but I think that for integrity sake, of course, any such entity would recuse themselves from advising companies, while also advising ICANN. And I would expect ICANN to disqualify such entities as their consultants. Thanks, Phil, for this useful clarification.

So while the seven firms may not be engaged in what is considered lobbying under current U.S. law, they are still likely engaged in helping to assure officials outcomes desired by ICANN corporate. It is for that reason - as well as for the exercise of effective oversight over ICANN budgeting and expenditures - that the community should have more data on this. If ICANN is prohibited by its contracts with these firms from disclosing its expenditures that is unfortunate - and in the future I would hope that ICANN would tell any firms being considered for such duties that its own transparency obligations to the community preclude it from agreeing to such restrictions (I'd wager that the majority of the firms would waive confidentiality rather than lose the contract). At a minimum, ICANN should disclose the aggregate amounts spent with these seven firms since they were engaged - surely their contracts don't bar such aggregate reporting. Philip S.

Does this only apply to the CCWG and the public or does it also apply to other parts of the ICANN community, specifically the Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees? Thank you for the link on lobbying disclosures. For those who are interested, here are ICANN's lobbying expenditures based on the disclosure website of the U.S. Congress. [cid:image001.png@01D1E27F.24BC9E00] I do have a couple of additional questions. Would this source capture lobbying exclusively directed toward the US Executive Branch? Has ICANN spent any funds during this period lobbying governments other than the US?

I just wanted to make sure you had a clear visibility on this information, which provides for (i) categories of expenses, (ii) the individual names of the vendors grouped for each category, and (iii) the total value of the expenses for each category. With respect to the contractual obligations of confidentiality in commercial contracts, ICANN is subject to them, like all business organizations. That said, we disclose what we can consistent with standard business confidentiality provisions in vendor contracts. We cannot disclose the specific amount of spend with each vendor but we were able to disclose the names of the service providers engaged. Regarding the lobbying expenses, as you are aware, both organizations that hire lobbyists and firms that lobby on behalf of organizations are required under U.S. federal law to file lobbying disclosure reports. In addition to ICANN's quarterly lobbying disclosures posted on our website, you can find the amounts ICANN has paid to individual outside lobbying firms at http://disclosures.house.gov/ld/ldsearch.aspx. I hope this helps and clarifies. Thank you.

We currently publish the list of all vendors from whom ICANN obtain services in relation to the IANA Stewardship transition. The $$ value of the services received is aggregated by category of expenses, which you mention below (US Government affairs, Education/engagement/advice,...). This presentation is driven by 2 factors: providing clarity as to the type of services received, and abiding by the contractual obligation of confidentiality in force with each of the vendors (resulting from standard business sensitive information). We do publish however the detail of the legal advice, by firm and by working group, on this same page (see for example the link to the report of fees by firm: https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/iana-stewardship-expenses-legal…)<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/iana-stewardship-expenses-legal…>.

Re: [CCWG-ACCT] CCWG WS2 Next Steps - Human Rights
by Aikman-Scalese, Anne July 28, 2016

July 28, 2016

With respect to the Human Rights subgroup in Workstream 2, I would like to ask that the UN Declaration on the rights of Indigenous Peoples be included in this inquiry as we seek to develop a framework of interpretation. The CCWP on Human Rights (led by Niels) has already agreed to include the Rights of Authors (UN Universal Declaration Article 27) in its bullet points for discussion with respect to Subsequent Procedures. ICANN also needs to be looking at the Human Rights of indigenous Peoples in this context and in the context of development of the framework. BY WAY OF DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS, I represent the Pascua Yaqui Tribe in Tucson Arizona. (I do not, however, have instructions from them with respect to participation in this Workstream 2 group.) Provisions which I think are relevant to the framework of interpretation on Human Rights are pasted below. The link to the Declaration is here: http://www.un.org/esa/socdev/unpfii/documents/DRIPS_en.pdf Article 11 1. Indigenous peoples have the right to practise and revitalize their cultural traditions and customs. This includes the right to maintain, protect and develop the past, present and future manifestations of their cultures, such as archaeological and historical sites, artefacts, designs, ceremonies, technologies and visual and performing arts and literature. 2. States shall provide redress through effective mechanisms, which may include restitution, developed in conjunction with indigenous peoples, with respect to their cultural, intellectual, religious and spir - itual property taken without their free, prior and informed consent or in violation of their laws, traditions and customs. Article 12 1. Indigenous peoples have the right to manifest, practise, develop and teach their spiritual and religious traditions, customs and cer - emonies; the right to maintain, protect, and have access in privacy to their religious and cultural sites; the right to the use and control of their ceremonial objects; and the right to the repatriation of their human remains. 2. States shall seek to enable the access and/or repatriation of cer - emonial objects and human remains in their possession through fair, transparent and effective mechanisms developed in conjunction with indigenous peoples concerned. 7 Article 13 1. Indigenous peoples have the right to revitalize, use, develop and transmit to future generations their histories, languages, oral tradi- tions, philosophies, writing systems and literatures, and to designate and retain their own names for communities, places and persons.

Please note that the Subgroup sign up Google Doc will be closed as of 12 July 2016, to sign up as either an active participant or an observer in any of the Subgroups going forward please send your request to ACCT-Staff (acct-staff(a)icann.org<mailto:acct-staff@icann.org>). WS2 SUBGROUPS The following timeline was presented in Helsinki with the work divided into two approaches. Simple topics are anticipated to be short term and should be able to reach consensus quickly with a Public Comment period planned for October 2016 and the final output to be presented at the ICANN meeting in Copenhagen. The more complex topics will take longer to develop and as such will provide an update on the progress of the subgroup’s work in Copenhagen, with the final report expected to be delivered in June 2017. An early indication from the Subgroup Rapporteurs as to whether their topic is on the simple timeline or the complex timeline would be useful so that the CCWG can plan its work to enable full participation in the subgroups of interest for each participant. Helsinki Timeline - Simple Topics – Short Term • June 2016: sub-groups agreed, commence work on docs for public input • Aug 2016: first discussion with CCWG • Sep 2016: refining work • Oct 2016: CCWG agrees for public input • 20 Oct-30 Nov: Public Input comment period • Dec 2016: Analyze public comment staff/subgroups • Jan 2017: Sub-groups refines and revises output • Feb 2017: CCWG agrees final Output for consideration by community FOR ADOPTION at Copenhagen Helsinki Timeline - Complex Topics – Intermediate/Long Term • Jun 2016: sub-groups agreed • Sep-Oct 2016: first discussion with CCWG - identifies whether and how to update community at Hyderabad • Nov-Dec 2016: second discussion with CCWG (first SUBSTANTIVE) • Jan 2017: refining work • Feb 2017: CCWG agrees docs for public input • 1 Mar to 10 Apr: Public Input comment period • Apr 2017: Analyze public comment staff/subgroups • May 2017: Sub-groups refines and revises output • May/Jun 2017: CCWG agrees final Output for consideration by community SUBTEAM LEADERSHIP The following have indicated that they wish to be rapporteurs for WS2 topics. • Diversity - Fiona Asonga, Rafik Dammak • Human Rights - Niels ten Oever, Nigel Roberts, Paul McGrady • Jurisdiction - Greg Shatan, Vinay Kesari • Ombudsman - Sebastien Bacholet • SO/AC Acct - Cheryl Langdon-Orr, Farzaneh Badii, Steve DelBianco • Staff Acct. - Avri Doria • Transparency - Michael Karanicolas • Reviewing CEP - Ed Morris • Guidelines for standards of conduct presumed to be in good faith associated with exercising removal of individual ICANN Board Directors - Lori Schulman Designated rapporteurs will need to reaffirm their time commitment, including the meeting time to work with the CCWG leadership team in preparatory and post drafting of their recommendations and reports. SUBGROUP DELIVERABLES Each subgroup is expected to deliver a report of its findings and recommendations to the CCWG Plenary for discussion and consensus. Periodic updates on the work of each subgroup will need to be provided by the Rapporteurs during CCWG Plenary sessions to track progress. The expectation is that the output reports and recommendations will look like an Annex of the Work Stream 1 report. The structure is an executive summary; a description of the issue, including the description of the current state of play and incorporation of the discussions and inputs received from the Work Stream 1 effort, the supplemental report; and a section describing the requirements for the recommendation and how the recommendation has been validated against WS1 recommendations. The report and recommendation will also need to include text to demonstrate how the subgroups recommendations are meeting what was previously known as the NTIA requirements. Each subgroup needs to be careful to demonstrate that they are conducting the due diligence needed in meeting the NTIA criteria with each and every one of its recommendations and requirements. These requirements will then be translated into specific Bylaw articles after CCWG plenary discussion and consensus and a Public Comment period has been held on the CCWG recommendations. SUBGROUP SCHEDULING Staff can support up to nine (9), one hour meeting slots per week, which will be available for the WS2 subgroup Rapporteurs to work together to select their group’s meeting dates and times. The weekly 1-hour available slots for July and August will be as follows: • three (3) slots at 05:00 UTC, • three (3) slots at 13:00 UTC • three (3) slots at 20:00 UTC The timing of the available slots will be reconsidered at the end of August so adjustments can be made, if necessary. However the nine (9) weekly one (1) hour slots will remain consistent in order for ICANN staff to support the work of all the subgroups with no more than three (3) slots to occur on any one day of the week.

Notes-Recordings-Transcript links for IRP Implementation Oversight Team (IOT) Meeting #5 - 20 July 2016
by MSSI Secretariat July 25, 2016

July 25, 2016

Hello all, The notes, recordings and transcripts for the IRP Implementation Oversight Team (IOT) Meeting #5 - 20 July 2016 will be available here: https://community.icann.org/x/si2OAw A copy of the notes may be found below. Thank you. Kind regards, Brenda Notes * Becky Burr Chairing * 16 participants, 1 Presenter, 2 staff. * Becky Burr: Apologies for the short time for reviewing the documents. No final decisions will be made today as confirmed on the list. This document is a consensus between ICANN Legal and Sidley on the Supplementary Procedures. There are questions for this group to consider as per the CCWG recommendations and as such we will be going through the red-lined document. * Becky Burr: ACTION for ICANN Legal and Sidley may need to modify this to include the PTI Causes of Action. Need to ensure all disputes types are covered. * Becky Burr - question to drafters - why the limitation re in advice from SOACs, Ed McNicholas - was meant to be an example as including but not limited to - Samantha Eisner - agree. Chat seems to support. * Becky Burr: Does the definition of claimant need to pick up the PTI clauses. Ed McNicholas - the definition of disputes was lifted from the Bylaws - have to check vs DEFINITIONS 1B and 1C. * ACTION Ed McNicholas Agree claimant definition has to be modified to reflect B and C. * Becky Burr: Emergency Panelists - suggested language for this works for me - no comments. * Becky Burr: Definitions for IRP panels. Procedures Officer concept for consolidation etc.David McAuley: This concept seems fine. * Becky Burr: Purposes of the IRP is useful to make the document understandable. * Becky Burr: Scope - David McAuley - need to take care to address appeals of consolidation. May be a good point to add the Bylaws to the inconsistency rules. Becky Burr: interesting and potentially important point. Samantha Eisner - we would fully agree with this - this shows this must be done very carefully. Becky Burr: summarizing the Bylaws are the ultimate source of authority - however Samantha Eisner is reflecting some points with respect to the provider who needs a fully fleshed out document. We need to ensure we have very carefully reflected the Bylaws in this. * Becky Burr: David McAuley's point on consolidation etc. what happens if the rules change on appeal - this is a good and hard question. Another such question a process by which the supp. procedures could be modified since this process is not in the Bylaws. David McAuley: maybe we could apply later rules but give party an opportunity to show prejudice by that. Becky Burr: seems reasonable. Samantha Eisner - would this apply to existing IRPs? Need a delineation between existing rules and what we are working on here. Two questions - are we modifying IRPs that are currently under way. Secondly how would iterative rule changes be brought in. Becky Burr: David McAuley 's procedures would be fine for when the new rules in place - we need to have a separate discussion with respect to current cases. Samantha Eisner rules for ongoing cases should be the rules when it was filed. Ed McNicholas: agree with David McAuley. Amy Stathos: we need to look at this. Need to have the rules that are in place when you file the ones that apply to ensure certainty. * Gregory Holly: substance vs procedure point - agree with Ed McNicholas. Becky Burr: ACTION asking the legal drafters to recommend something on this point. * Becky Burr: I want to put a marker down re the substantive standard. I have very significant heartburn about the current standard of review and I want the opportunity to discuss that in the context of existing IRPs - for a later conversation. * Becky Burr: Panelists - Can a drafter explain the last few sentences of this section - Ed McNicholas: this is a reference out to the ICDR rules - question is do we want to proceed with their rules. Amy Stathos - yes this has come up - a panelist passed away on a case and the party picked a new panelist. Becky Burr is this the ICDR rules. Amy Stathos: uncertain. Ed McNicholas: the supplemental has a reference back to the initial selection procedure. Becky Burr: should use the rules in place here vs introducing new rules for this. * Becky Burr: Time for Filing. There was no specific time in the CCWG recommendations. David McAuley: glad this is days and not business days. and strongly support footnote 14. Recommends 45 days. David McAuley: Under para 4, time for filing, I support 45 or 60 days - I don't think we can use the term "business days" as that varies around the world. David McAuley: I like footnote 14 on para 4, time for filing, requiring that fees be paid in order to have met deadline. Becky Burr: what is the current requirement? Amy Stathos: 30 days following the posting of the Board materials. Becky Burr: Robin Gross any thoughts on timing? Robin Gross: I believe it was in the 30-45 days also. Samantha Eisner: 30 days, increased from 15. Becky Burr: we will be suggesting 45 days as a straw man. Support in chat for this * Becky Burr - Conduct of the review - Proposed language seems to correctly reflect our discussions. David McAuley: Is there any way to put a high hurdle on panel calling live testimony? Becky Burr - There is a debate to be had on this point for us for in-person meetings. Samantha Eisner - Sidley has recommended language that is different from that proposed by ICANN Legal. Look forward to guidance from the IOT on this while keeping in mind the effectiveness and costs. Live-person testimony generates skyrocketing costs. Need strong oversight for this. Ed McNicholas: the mechanism proposed is default efficiency - but allows the panelists discretion - there is an inherent restriction in here and panelists would be guided by the wish of the community in the Bylaws. Amy Stathos: just want to confirm we need to talk about this more - live testimony is an order of magnitude more expensive. Discretion of the panel may not be sufficiently restrictive. If we want to be certain we properly reflect the wish of the community, we need more language. Becky Burr: does the current language include IN THE EXTRAORDINARY EVENT? Amy Stathos; yes. Becky Burr: So the current language allows the panel latitude (Amy Stathos - but no witness testimony - the experts added this in the 2013 rules). Becky Burr: we are going to talk about this next week - we need to all reflect on this and discuss on the list - generally agreed. Still very much a discussion point. * Becky Burr Written Statements - straightforward. * Becky Burr - Section 7 Consolidation, Intervention, and Joinder - there are no existing rules for this. The CCWG recommendations asked for this. David McAuley: good idea to give the panel some discretion on this but there needs to be a time limit on this. Also need page limits for this. Amy Stathos: consolidation and joinder issues - we have some experience in the new gTLDS and another where the same lawyer represented different parties. Becky Burr: interveners? Amy Stathos: new gTLD programs. Becky Burr: would be useful to affirmatively contemplate where one party makes a claim re Bylaws and another party is directly affected. David McAuley: I agree panel discretion will be wise in para 7 on consolidation, intervention & joinder but I also think we should look for some objective "cut off" time to stop these kinds of things once evidence starts coming in - to avoid confusion and avoid the need for parties to restate positions in light of new allegations David McAuley: Also on consolidation, there should also be a cumulative page total so one party can't be unduly swamped by several joined parties. Becky Burr: courts usually have rules on page limits etc. ACTION - Can the drafters suggest something here. * Becky Burr: 8 Discovery Methods - no existing rules on this. This is complicated and important issue which goes to accessibility on one side and to due process on another. Samantha Eisner: This is a significant change from the current rules which will require the IOT to properly consider all aspects - there is divergence bet the legal teams on this point. Again issues of costs and efficiency. Ed McNicholas: this was deferred to the discussion in the IOT - the question is what discretion does the panel have - due process question is central here (forcing disclosure of documents). Could simply have a requirement to have each party disclose relevant documents which would be policed by the panel. We could also look into having the panel decide based on facts and circumstances - much debate to be had here. Becky Burr: critical discussion - we need to discuss this on the list. Next call needs to discuss these points. * Becky Burr: Summary dismissal - this seems consistent with the recommendations. Robin Gross - believe we struck Vexatious. * Becky Burr - 10 - Interim Measures - based on the Bylaws. * Becky Burr - 11 - Standard of Review - taken from the Bylaws. * Becky Burr- 12 - IRP panel decisions - from the Bylaws. * Becky Burr 13 same. * Becky Burr14 - Appeal - based on the final proposal but need to discuss next week. * David McAuley: The interim measures in para 10 seem fine but also appear to be ex parte. There should be added a review of sorts within a short time as well - a chance to rebut. As to the standard of review, para 11, perhaps this is a bit over the top following the DotAfrica case, but shouldn't we add a sentence at Para 11.a. along lines like this: "The IRP Panel has no authority to fashion any kind of relief of any nature to such findings of fact in light of the fact that its ultimate * Becky Burr: I will kick off the discussions on the list over the coming weeks. Everyone should read this document in detail. Would like to thank all lawyers who drafted this. Call next week.

Re: [CCWG-ACCT] [community-finance] IANA Stewardship Transition - Project Expenses - FY16 Q3 update
by Marilyn Cade July 20, 2016

July 20, 2016

Ken, Loriright. but we are not asking for that kind of reporting. We are asking for something more factual and more about informing the community of ICANN, not just the IRS. :-) I think we want a bit more and a general sort of 'rule' of openness. So, if you accept a contract with ICANN, expect it to be known, just as the contracts to do a Review are, and state what you do for ICANN. I respect ICANN having consultants, and hiring people to do awareness and engagement to explain the IANA transition, or fund travel for the Chairs of the CCWG, etc. to provide awareness, this is within, in my view, the role of the organization in fulfilling its mission. So, I may be more flexible than some. After all, I spend most of my business life trying to explain IG in developing countries, and trying to find funders to allow me to do that. :-) ICANN is not a client but in my view, as I do broader IG work, creating understanding about what ICANN does and does not do is real work. It is important and if we, the community, are not aware of its importance, then we misunderstand how we need to support ICANN, broadly, as awareness.... We are very fortunate to have this opportunity, as this will build the support needed for ICANN to be more internationalized. I suspect we are all on the same page - mostly -- and thus, I hope we will ask for the facts and figures, and then focus on what is needed to continue to build support for the transition in the US, and well beyond.

I have been on both sides of non-disclosure agreements – both ones requested by me and ones requested by my clients. Typically, a client (in the position of ICANN) may request that a consultant sign an NDA so as to protect the confidentiality of its efforts or its intellectual property. Sometimes a consultant might have a proprietary methodology or process that they are using on behalf of the client that they wish to protect. Neither circumstance applies here that I can see. And in no case that I am aware of has a client ever asked me to keep confidential my fee … I don’t broadcast them, but I’m in the private sector. For ICANN, which is an NGO acting in the global public interest, I cannot see any reason at all why ICANN would want or agree to a confidentiality arrangement as to the size of the fee paid.

I also think that anyone who is in this category, should have to declare if they re also representing companies in a SO/AC. Or advising governments. In the BC, we do not allow an ICANN consultant to be a BC member, regardless of the amount, but if someone is a backdoor advisor to ICANN and also a group of entities, in a SO/AC, that would not be so obvious, but I think that for integrity sake, of course, any such entity would recuse themselves from advising companies, while also advising ICANN. And I would expect ICANN to disqualify such entities as their consultants. Thanks, Phil, for this useful clarification.

So while the seven firms may not be engaged in what is considered lobbying under current U.S. law, they are still likely engaged in helping to assure officials outcomes desired by ICANN corporate. It is for that reason – as well as for the exercise of effective oversight over ICANN budgeting and expenditures – that the community should have more data on this. If ICANN is prohibited by its contracts with these firms from disclosing its expenditures that is unfortunate – and in the future I would hope that ICANN would tell any firms being considered for such duties that its own transparency obligations to the community preclude it from agreeing to such restrictions (I’d wager that the majority of the firms would waive confidentiality rather than lose the contract). At a minimum, ICANN should disclose the aggregate amounts spent with these seven firms since they were engaged – surely their contracts don’t bar such aggregate reporting. Philip S.

I just wanted to make sure you had a clear visibility on this information, which provides for (i) categories of expenses, (ii) the individual names of the vendors grouped for each category, and (iii) the total value of the expenses for each category. With respect to the contractual obligations of confidentiality in commercial contracts, ICANN is subject to them, like all business organizations. That said, we disclose what we can consistent with standard business confidentiality provisions in vendor contracts. We cannot disclose the specific amount of spend with each vendor but we were able to disclose the names of the service providers engaged. Regarding the lobbying expenses, as you are aware, both organizations that hire lobbyists and firms that lobby on behalf of organizations are required under U.S. federal law to file lobbying disclosure reports. In addition to ICANN’s quarterly lobbying disclosures posted on our website, you can find the amounts ICANN has paid to individual outside lobbying firms at http://disclosures.house.gov/ld/ldsearch.aspx.
