CCWG-Accountability-WS2-Plenary-20180309-Agenda-ScheduleV1.0BT - REMINDER RE JURISDICTION
by Bernard Turcotte March 8, 2018

March 8, 2018

All, The Co-Chairs wish to point out that the agenda for the face to face meeting includes the first and second readings of the Jurisdiction recommendations (Items 4 and 11). Given when the Jurisdiction recommendations were completed (2 March a few hours prior to the expiry deadline) and our requirement to finalize all recommendations for the public consultation we simply do not have the time to schedule the second reading at a separate meeting - which would have to be in two weeks time given the ICANN meeting. As such the agenda presents the Jurisdiction recommendations as the first and last major subjects of the day at the face to face meeting which will allow participants the most time possible between readings. It may also be useful to point out, as noted by Kavouss Arasteh at the last Jurisdiction meeting which approved the recommendations, that the Jurisdiction recommendations are the result of a very long process, 57 meetings, and represent a very delicate balance of the views of all participants, often down to each word in a recommendation, which is important for the plenary to keep in mind when considering these recommendations.

Thiago earlier suggested that “Comments by other countries in support for the further jurisdiction-related discussions, in particular immunities, should be specifically referenced." * After further discussion, Thiago’s revised suggestion appears to be: * Comments by other countries in support for the further jurisdiction-related discussions, in particular immunities, should be specifically referenced. * it would be fair to also explicitly give similar satisfaction to the contrary voices * These are not really contrary to Brazil’s dissent, which should be made explicit in the report as part of the subgroup’s response to the comments received.” No change has been made to the Report based on this Note, as it is unclear what the level of support for this plan. The Subgroup needs to determine if this addition should be made and if so, how. * Concept agreement to some new words which will be suggested by GS. · Note 5 * This text is proposed to be added at the end of the recommendations on sanctions: * When implementing each of the recommendations in this section, their utmost importance to ICANN in carrying out its mission and facilitating global access to DNS should be considered. Taking into account this importance, the implementation phase should start as soon as possible, but in no event later than six months after approval by the ICANN Board.” * Agreed · Note 6 * This is a general note that the Stress Tests have now been “accepted” into the Report document. * Agreed. · Note 7 * A “friendly amendment” was made on last week’s call to Stress Test 1 in “Proposed Accountability Measures,” to clarify that any registrar’s ability to “accept domain registration requests from citizens of any country” is still “subject to limitations and obligations due to applicable law and registry restrictions.” * Agreed without “and registry restrictions”. Requests: * GS will circulate draft final to list by 1800 UTC today and comments need to be provided ASAP as the deadline for submitting the final recommendations is Friday 2 March 2359 UTC.
