CCWG-Accountability-WS2-Plenary-20171018-Jurisdiction Co-Chair Statement on way forward
by Bernard Turcotte Oct. 20, 2017

Oct. 20, 2017

*Co-Chair’s statement on the* *way forward for the Jurisdiction recommendations * All, The Co-Chairs have reviewed the recording, chat transcript and captioning of the 18 October plenary as it relates to the discussion of the first reading of the Jurisdiction draft recommendations in an effort to determine the best way forward amongst the many opinions and requests presented at this meeting (please note that the relevant parts of those documents have been assembled by staff into one document attached to this email for your consideration). First the Co-Chairs would like to again thank all participants, but especially Ambassador Benedicto Fonseca Filho of Brazil, for the constructive and professional nature of the discussions. These discussions allowed everyone to understand the complexity of the issues presented by Brazil as well as the limitations that a process such as WS2 must impose on such work and the intrinsic impossibility of reconciling these when dealing with concerns of such magnitude. The recommendations presented by the Jurisdiction sub-group were arrived at in good faith and represent a clear step forward for the community in these specific areas. This being said, these recommendations clearly only scratch the surface of a number of very complex issues including those presented by Brazil in their minority opinion. In considering the best way forward for the Jurisdiction recommendations the Co-Chairs took special note of the following from the raw captioning record: · Benedicto Fonseca Filho - We would certainly be happy to get rid of everything related to process, anything that can be found to be [indiscernible] or anything of that sort. We want to focus on the substance, but to make clear that the report as such does not address key concerns we have and that, therefore, we avail ourselves to file this minority [indiscernible]. · Benedicto Fonseca Filho - Thank you. I'll be very short. Actually just to further clarify what I said before with regard to the official deadline. I think this issue is very complex and you don't solve complex issues in maybe one or two years, it requires a process for this because it needs to mature, there are political realities that sometimes repeat for a number of years. So what I am saying, I don't think to allow one or two or three more weeks or two months would be enough. I think that there's something that we could maybe entertain would be to see some [indiscernible] action and to acknowledge it's a file that needs to be under constant scrutiny, maybe the object of standing effort on the part of ICANN. And I think what should guide that decision that was [indiscernible] but [indiscernible] International organization that is truly International, not interGovernmental, but [indiscernible] stakeholder [indiscernible] new I understand, I fully concur that [indiscernible] it's not believed that once we [indiscernible] as to load that file. As to a third thing to be concerned with something very limited and say this is the end of it. But that's the emotion I would like to convey. Thank you. As such the Co-Chairs would propose that Brazil submit its revised minority opinion to the plenary list by 23:59 UTC 25 October so that the members and participants can consider it prior to the 27 October plenary. In order to be responsive to the issues raised, we will change the format of the face to face meeting and will be providing ample room for opinions and positions to be expressed and put on the record. This will allow for our group to recognize the different viewpoints and challenges that either could not be dealt with in the report or could not be reflected in the report to everyone’s satisfaction. During this time slot, we will be offering Brazil the opportunity to present its revised minority opinion to the plenary and answer questions on it from the members and the participants. Jurisdiction challenges have been discussed and caused controversial debates since ICANN’s inception and we hope and expect that these discussions will not end with the completion of work stream 2. Thus, a record of this discussion will surely serve as a valuable source of information to inform further discussions beyond the contents of our report. The Co-Chairs also recommend that the second reading of the Jurisdiction draft recommendations be conducted at the 27 October face to face meeting as staff have confirmed that any significant delay in approving these recommendations could endanger their inclusion in the WS2 Final Report. This would allow for the Jurisdiction draft recommendations to be published for public consultation soon after ICANN 60 and would allow the entire community to comment on the recommendations as well as the minority opinions. Although not a perfect solution we believe that this is the one which represents the majority of views. Bernard Turcotte for the CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Co-Chairs

Re: [CCWG-ACCT] [Ws2-jurisdiction] Jurisdiction Subgroup Draft Report for CCWG-Accountability Plenary Review

Okay that's helpful information Milton. Thanks Sent from my mobile Kindly excuse brevity and typos On Oct 18, 2017 10:03 PM, "Mueller, Milton L" <milton(a)gatech.edu> wrote: Seun said: If I may, how does our recommendation serve as improvement from the status quo? I mean what category of applicants will start to feel the positive impact of our recommendation? The answer is that SDNs are a very small number of people who are singled out for sanctions (e.g., a known war criminal), whereas most sanctions apply to all nationals of the sanctioned country; e.g. all registrars, all registry applicants and all domain name registrants. So there is a huge improvement if sanctions are removed from ordinary domain name registrants but a few SDNs are excepted.

Jurisdiction Subgroup Draft Report for CCWG-Accountability Plenary Review
by Greg Shatan Oct. 18, 2017

Oct. 18, 2017

All, I am pleased to submit the Draft Report from the Jurisdiction Subgroup for consideration by the CCWG-Accountability Plenary. It is my understanding that a minority viewpoint is expected to be submitted. In the interests of time, this will be submitted to the Plenary separately from the Draft Report. *During the preparation of the OFAC Recommendation, the Subgroup considered an email where a registrar declined to do business with a potential reseller, based on the registrar’s policy of not doing business with people with Iranian passports. The Subgroup also learned that this registrar, which had been registering domains for a number of Iranian nationals, refused to continue to do business with them. The Subgroup has concluded that, to the extent these instances are related to OFAC, the concerns raised by these instances are adequately covered in the Recommendation already without any additional changes. This is not in any way a comment on the validity of these particular concerns. The Subgroup will consider creating "stress tests" based on these scenarios.* I look forward to the Plenary's reading of the Draft Report. Best regards, Greg Shatan *Rapporteur*

Re: [CCWG-ACCT] [Ws2-jurisdiction] Plenary Reading of Jurisdiction Subgroup Draft Report
by Paul Rosenzweig Oct. 18, 2017

Oct. 18, 2017

Please note my apology for the Plenary meeting tomorrow. I will be on a plane somewhere over the eastern seaboard of the United States. Please accept this note as my reflecting my full support for the two recommendations presented by the subgroup and the expression of my hope that the Plenary will accept them for first reading and agree to them as final recommendations at the second reading in Abu Dhabi (which I will also be unable to attend). I also join fully in Milton Mueller’s observation that the minority dissenting reports are not really dissents (in the sense of objecting to the actual recommendations made) but are more properly characterized as lamentations that the work of the subgroup did not reach a broader consensus for what the proponents perceive as even more substantive reform. I opposed their proposals in the subgroup as impractical and unwise and continue to do so now. To the extent the Plenary considers these dissents I would urge that their concerns be tabled and that the plenary move forward with the consensus recommendations before it.

If it passes this first reading, it will be presented for a second reading at the Face-to-face meeting on 27 October. If it fails to pass a second reading at the 27 October meeting, it cannot be included in the final report. If it fails to pass a first reading at the 18 October meeting it would require exceptional circumstances to have it pass a second reading at the 27 October meeting. Please attend the Plenary session so that your views are heard, and so you can hear the views of other members of the Plenary. Greg

CCWG-Accountability-WS2-Plenary-20171018-AgendaV1.2
by Bernard Turcotte Oct. 18, 2017

Oct. 18, 2017

All, Given we do have the Transparency report and that we do not expect to raise significant issues with the plenary we have modified the agenda to have the first reading of the Transparency final report after the second reading of the Ombuds draft recommendations. We would close out readings with Human Rights and Jurisdiction (new agenda below). This would allow us to have a maximum of time for Jurisdiction while allowing other reports to be considered by the plenary. Given we do have to complete a first reading of the Jurisdiction report at the 18 October plenary we would also like to advise everyone that if necessary we will extend the meeting to allow us to complete this. Currently the meeting is scheduled for 19:00 to 21:00 UTC but we would ask plenary participants to allow for an extra 15 minutes if required. Thank you.
