Public Comment on changes to Community TLDs
by Alan Greenberg April 4, 2018

April 4, 2018

Community TLDs have been of interest and importance to At-Large. ICANN has put out a proposal for how such TLDs could be changed once delegated and Justine Chew volunteered to look at it. In general, the draft procedure is fine, but Justine did identify a few places where change is warranted and has drafted a statement. The comment period formally closed yesterday, but we have a short extension. Please review the draft comment at https://community.icann.org/x/fBW8B, and if you have any thoughts, please add a comment to the Wiki prior to 23:59 UTC on Thursday, 05 April 2018. For the record, I support the comment and thank Justine for doing this. Alan

The CCWG-Accountability WS2 final report is a compilation of eight reports generated through individual sub-groups of the CCWG-Accountability, each of which has already been the subject of public comment. These eight reports are on the topics identified at Section 27.1. of the ICANN Bylaws2, which defined WS2. Current Status: At its 9 March 2018 face-to-face meeting[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_news_blo…> at ICANN61 in San Juan, Puerto Rico, the CCWG-Accountability completed its approval of each of the sub-group reports for inclusion within the WS2 final report. Next Steps: The inputs from the public comment period will be analyzed by the CCWG-Accountability, which will consider amending the report in light of the relevant comments received about inconsistencies. The CCWG-Accountability will publish a report on the results of the public consultation. If there are no significant changes required, the CCWG-Accountability will forward its WS2 final report to its Chartering Organizations for endorsement and then to the ICANN Board for consideration and adoption.

The CCWG-Accountability will not be in a position to re-address substantive issues and open new public comment periods on portions of the report and complete WS2 within its proposed and budgeted completion date of June 2018. 2 Section 27.1 of the Bylaws defines nine topics for inclusion within WS2. However, the Cooperative Engagement Process (CEP) was identified as better suited for coordination with the work on updating ICANN's Independent Review Process, as opposed to handling with WS2. By agreement with the CCWG-Accountability and the community group supporting the updates to the Independent Review Process, the CEP was removed from WS2.
