At-Large Public Comments Requested: Draft ALAC Statement on the IRT Final Report
by At-Large Staff June 30, 2009

June 30, 2009

Dear Community Members, We are pleased to notify you that the Draft ALAC Statement on the IRT Final Report is now open for comments by the At-Large community. Comments will be taken until 26th June; these will then be reviewed for incorporation in the final text by the At-Large IRT Working Group members. The statement may be found at: https://st.icann.org/alac-docs/index.cgi?statement_of_the_alac_on_the_irt_s… Amongst the points introduced in this statement which were not a part of the ALAC Statement on the Draft IRT Report are the following, as provided by ALAC Member Patrick Vande Walle: - We believe the IRT's proposals are beyond the scope of ICANN and trademark law: If such an IP clearinghouse needs to be created, it should be by institutions external to ICANN. - There is no way dictionary words can be reserved by IP holders on the basis thay they use such words as brands. - "Post Delegation Dispute" is Inappropriate, in that it would extend the registries contractual compliance to include treatement of trademarks, with rather vague and subjective criteria on how well they would perform on that aspect. - The Whois section adds a sentence mentioning that no reach out to, and requests comments from, national and regional Data Protection Offices, and that it should be part of the process. -- Regards, Nick Ashton-Hart, Heidi Ullrich, Matthias Langenegger, Gisella Gruber-White, Marie-Helene Bouchoms ICANN At-Large Staff email: staff(a)atlarge.icann.org

by ICANN AtLarge Staff June 30, 2009

June 30, 2009

Dear All, In accordance with the adopted At-Large Policy Advice Development Schedule ( http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=rJKtp8gl3W5-ZcY_xMpPg5w) the vote on the Statement on the Draft Travel Procedure for FY2010 is now open. Members of the ALAC can cast their vote online until Sunday, 05 July at 2359 UTC. The question to be put will be the following: Do you support the ratification of the Statement on the Draft Travel Procedure for FY2010 for communication to the relevant Public Comment process? With possible answers: Yes No Abstain The statement text is available at: https://st.icann.org/alac-docs/index.cgi?statement_on_the_draft_travel_proc… In their meeting on June 26th, the ALAC adopted the following rules for all online votes: 1. As the vote is proceeding, we can see how many people have voted. 2. As the vote is proceeding, we can see who has voted. 3. As the vote is proceeding, we can see a tally of how the votes have been cast. 4. The order of the options should not change as the vote proceeds. 5. Outsiders who cannot vote can look at all of the above interim results. 6. When the vote is ended, we can see how each person has voted. Unfortunately, the system does not currently allow to publish a URL where the names of voters can be tracked live as they come in without being able to see how they voted. We are in contact with the programmers at BigPulse to change this as soon as possible. Due to the urgency of the current vote, we were not able to implement it before the start of the vote. We will, however, manually send you updates of who has voted as the vote proceeds. Members of the ALAC will shortly receive a second email with their voting credentials. Please get in contact with us if you have not received it yet.

Alan Greenberg noted that Working Groups will be conducted in English. The ALAC is to catch up with Mason Cole during Sydney meeting - electronically or in person. There is a Workshop on Post-Expiration Domain Name Recovery (Wed; 24 June; 14:00-16:00) Volunteers are required. Alan noted that good, vocal, reasonable people are needed. The Challenge is getting inter-cessional work as productive as during meetings. There is a need to work across regions on a regular basis. Topic: Post-Summit review and Reporting of At-Large working group activities Regional leaders need to review WG members and encourage engagement. If these people don't want to be officers, they need to be replaced. Heidi Ullrich to make standing agenda item for RALO meetings: - At-Large WGs - update/engagement of members. Working Group leaders are asked to (re-)establish goals and objectives of WGs as there is a need to re-visit the issue of standing WGs (re; work not always on-going) There is a need for well-established deadline on the At-Large Policy Advice Development Schedule; ALAC and the Secretariats have an important role to play to keep this document up-to-date.

Also, Staff will add the opening and closing dates of consultations to the At-Large Google Calendar. Ron Sherwood and Rudi Vansnick to work together on issue mutualism of ccNSO and At-Large.

At-Large and ccNSO will work together in outreach activities. There is a particular challenge in the Asia-Pacific region. CLO and Ron Sherwood will talk more on this issue; Also, regional leaders (AFNIC/AFRALO etc.) need to work more closely together on identifying outreach and activities. Sebastien Bachollet pointed out that At-Large, the ccNSO and the GAC should speak more regularly. Ron Sherwood will be making report on Thursday, it was requested that At-Large members provide him with information in writing. so please give in writing to bring to meeting.
