ICANN News Alert -- Call for Participation - Privacy & Proxy Services Accreditation Issues Policy Development Process (PDP) Implementation Review Team (IRT)
by ICANN At-Large Staff Sept. 20, 2016

Sept. 20, 2016

[ICANN]<http://www.icann.org/> News Alert https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2016-09-19-en ________________________________ Call for Participation - Privacy & Proxy Services Accreditation Issues Policy Development Process (PDP) Implementation Review Team (IRT) 19 September 2016 On 9 August 2016, the ICANN Board of Directors adopted<https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2016-08-09-en#2.e> the recommendations of the Privacy & Proxy Services Accreditation Issues Policy Development Process (PDP) Working Group as listed in its Final Report<http://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/raa/ppsai-final-07dec15-en.pdf> [PDF, 1.23 MB]. Staff from the Global Domains Division (GDD)-responsible for leading the implementation of the policy recommendations-is hereby issuing a call for volunteers to form an Implementation Review Team (IRT) to work with staff to implement the policy recommendations adopted by the Board. This call for IRT volunteers is for the attention of the members of the Privacy & Proxy Services Accreditation Issues PDP Working Group at a minimum. However, other members of the community who did not participate on the IRT are also invited to the IRT. The key responsibilities of the IRT are as follows: * Work with ICANN staff to ensure that the implementation fulfills the original intentions of the adopted policy recommendations * Review the proposed implementation work plan, as drafted by staff, for the recommendations as adopted by the Board * Assist in case questions regarding the PDP or a need for clarification arises in relation to the adopted recommendations * Advise on technical and operational details related to the implementation of the adopted recommendations Familiarity with the policy recommendations as well as the deliberations that informed those recommendations is a minimum requirement for IRT members. IRT volunteers should be able to attend regularly scheduled IRT meetings for the duration of this project. Staff currently anticipates that this implementation project could take up to 18-24 months to complete. All volunteers responding to this call will be expected to understand the role and remit of the IRT for the implementation project. If, in the course of implementation, the IRT identifies a need for potential modifications to the policy recommendations, the team must refer these to the GNSO Council for its consideration and additional guidance. How to Apply If you are interested in participating, please send an email to the GNSO Secretariat via gnso-secs(a)icann.org<mailto:gnso-secs@icann.org> no later than 30 September 2016, 11:59 UTC. Background The Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA) is the contract that governs the relationship between ICANN and its accredited registrars (a directory of accredited registrars can be found at http://www.internic.net/regist.html) The RAA also may have impacts on registrants and other third parties involved in the domain name system. In initiating negotiations for the 2013 RAA between ICANN and the Registrars Stakeholder Group in October 2011, the ICANN Board had also requested an Issue Report from the GNSO that would start a GNSO Policy Development Process (PDP) to address remaining issues not dealt with in the RAA negotiations and that would be suited to a PDP (the Board's Resolution can be found at http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/resolutions-28oct11-en.htm#7<https://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/resolutions-28oct11-en.htm#7>). In June 2013, the ICANN Board approved a new 2013 RAA (the provisions of which can be found at http://www.icann.org/en/resources/registrars/raa/approved-with-specs-27jun1…<https://www.icann.org/en/resources/registrars/raa/approved-with-specs-27jun…>) [PDF, 913 KB], and this PDP was launched in October 2013. The Final Recommendations of the Privacy & Proxy Services Accreditation Issues PDP Working Group, which GDD is now preparing to implement, are the consensus outcomes of that PDP. Once implemented, this Privacy and Proxy Services accreditation program will supersede requirements in the 2013 RAA's Specification on Privacy and Proxy Registrations<https://www.icann.org/en/resources/registrars/raa/approved-with-specs-27jun…>.

ICANN News Alert -- Inauguration of the Centro de Emprendimiento e Internet in Paraguay
by ICANN At-Large Staff Sept. 20, 2016

Sept. 20, 2016

[ICANN]<http://www.icann.org/> News Alert https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2-2016-09-19-en ________________________________ Inauguration of the Centro de Emprendimiento e Internet in Paraguay Center Calls for Applicants for the First Training Course 19 September 2016 The Centro de Emprendimiento e Internet is an open initiative from Paraguay's National Secretariat for Information and Communication Technologies (SENATICs<https://www.senatics.gov.py/>), the Latin American and Caribbean Country Code Top-Level Domain Association (LACTLD<https://www.lactld.org/>) and ICANN<https://www.icann.org/>. The goal in establishing the Center is to contribute to the evolution of the Internet ecosystem in Latin America and the Caribbean region. The Center will serve as a knowledge repository and networking point for acquiring and sharing expertise, resources, training and support for the implementation of initiatives and projects in digital environments. Initially, the Center's focus will be on regional capacity building on the topic of the Domain Name System (DNS) industry ecosystem. The training and education will provide opportunities to team up with relevant partners to share experiences, build a network of experts and find new avenues to advance and strengthen the sector. The idea for the Center came from discussions between SENATICs and ICANN. These discussions resulted in an agreement to support the development of the Internet DNS industry in Paraguay and in the region. LACTLD joined the efforts to create synergies among the regional country code operators. The Center is now open and is seeking a wide range of partnerships from the industry. Regional stakeholders from the Internet governance community formed an Advisory Committee to guide the implementation and strategies of the Center. The committee is composed of Andres Piazza (General Manager of LACTLD), Antony Harris (Executive Director of CABASE), Ernesto Bojorquez (Commercial Director of NIC.mx), Gabriela Szlak and Celia Leman Friedman (eInstituto), Gonzalo Navarro (CEO at ALAI), Leon Sanchez (Partner at Fulton & Fulton SC), Mark King (Caribbean Region, Barbados), Rubens Kuhl (Manager NIC.br) and Vanda Scartezini (Polo Consultores Associados). The Center's inauguration event will be on 12 October 2016 in Asunción, Paraguay. This celebration will coincide with the first day of the Center's first training course.
