by ICANN At-Large Staff Dec. 10, 2015

Dec. 10, 2015

[ICANN]<http://www.icann.org/> News Alert https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-3-2015-12-10-en ________________________________ The Cyrillic Script Community Forms Generation Panel for Developing the Root Zone Label Generation Rules (LGR) 10 December 2015 ICANN is pleased to announce the formation of the Generation Panel to develop Root Zone Label Generation Rules (LGR) for the Cyrillic script. Following the Call for Generation Panels to Develop Root Zone Label Generation Rules<https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2013-07-11-en>, on 2 December 2015 the Cyrillic script community submitted to ICANN the Proposal for the Generation Panel for the Cyrillic Script Label Generation Ruleset for the Root Zone<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/cyrillic-script-lgr-proposal-10…> [PDF, 563 KB]. ICANN staff has reviewed the proposal including panel composition and scope, to ensure that requirements set forth in the LGR Procedure<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/lgr-procedure-20mar13-en.pdf> [PDF, 772 KB], and in particular the criteria set forth in the Call for Generation Panels to Develop Root Zone Label Generation Rules<https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2013-07-11-en>, are fulfilled. "On behalf of ICANN we are grateful to the Cyrillic script community for volunteering to develop the Cyrillic script LGR proposal for the Root Zone," said Sarmad Hussain from the IDN Program at ICANN. With composition and work plan approved, the Cyrillic script Generation Panel will start its work on the label generation rules. According to the LGR Procedure<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/lgr-procedure-20mar13-en.pdf> [PDF, 772 KB], the starting point of any Generation Panel's work is the Maximal Starting Repertoire (MSR), with its second version (MSR-2<https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2-2015-04-27-en>) released on 27 April 2015. The full specification of Generation Panel's tasks can be found in the LGR Procedure<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/lgr-procedure-20mar13-en.pdf> [PDF, 772 KB] in particular, Section B.3 "Variant Rule Generation Procedure". ICANN has provided a central public workspace<https://community.icann.org/display/croscomlgrprocedure/Cyrillic+Script+GP> on the project website where the Cyrillic script Generation Panel composition, work plan updates, public reports, contact details, and any other relevant information will be included. As a reminder, and to highlight the importance of script community involvement required in the development of the IDN Root Zone LGR, we would like to reiterate the Call for Generation Panels to Develop Root Zone Label Generation Rules<https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2013-07-11-en>. A successful development of the Root Zone LGR depends on having Generation Panels for each script represented in the Root Zone. In addition to ongoing efforts by the communities for Chinese, Cyrillic, Ethiopic, Greek, Japanese, Khmer, Korean, Lao, Latin, Neo-Brahmi and Thai, Generation Panel formation is expected to cover other scripts including Georgian, Hebrew, Myanmar, Sinhala and Tibetan. For further information on how to form a Generation Panel, please refer to the Call for Generation Panels to Develop Root Zone Label Generation Rules<https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2013-07-11-en> and to the additional supporting documentation provided on the Root Zone LGR Project website<https://community.icann.org/display/croscomlgrprocedure/Root+Zone+LGR+Proje…>.

ICANN News Alert -- Notice of Preliminary Determination To Grant Registrar Data Retention Waiver Request for Ascio Technologies, Inc. Danmark - filial af Ascio Technologies, Inc. USA
by ICANN At-Large Staff Dec. 10, 2015

Dec. 10, 2015

[ICANN]<http://www.icann.org/> News Alert https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2015-12-09-en ________________________________ Notice of Preliminary Determination To Grant Registrar Data Retention Waiver Request for Ascio Technologies, Inc. Danmark - filial af Ascio Technologies, Inc. USA 9 December 2015 ICANN has made a preliminary determination that it is prepared to grant a data retention waiver request submitted by Registrar Ascio Technologies, Inc. Danmark - filial af Ascio Technologies, Inc. USA ("Ascio") under the 2013 Registrar Accreditation Agreement (the "2013 RAA"). Section 2 of the Data Retention Specification (the "Specification") of the 2013 RAA provides that prior to granting any exemption under the Specification, ICANN will post its determination on the ICANN website for a period of thirty (30) calendar days. Pursuant to Section 2 of the Specification, Ascio has submitted to ICANN a Registrar data retention waiver request ("Waiver Request") on the basis of Ascio's contention that compliance with the data collection and/or retention requirements of the Specification violates applicable law in Denmark. The Waiver Request was accompanied by a written legal opinion from a nationally recognized law firm citing section 5 (5) of the Danish Act on Processing of Personal Data of 31 May 2000 (the "DPPD"). That section provides as follows (the following is an unofficial English translation from Danish): Section 5 (5). The data collected may not be kept in a form which makes it possible to identify the data subject for a longer period than is necessary for the purposes for which the data are processed. Following receipt of the Waiver Request, and in accordance with the 2013 RAA, ICANN through its legal counsel and Ascio discussed the matter in good faith in an effort to reach a mutually acceptable resolution of the matter. The outcome of those discussions is that Ascio is seeking a waiver with respect to Sections 1.1.1 through 1.1.8 of the Specification that seeks to reduce from two years to one year the period for which these specified data elements must be retained after the Registrar's sponsorship of the Registration ends. ICANN has determined on a preliminary basis that it is prepared to grant the Waiver Request. ICANN is posting this preliminary determination for a period of thirty (30) calendar days to seek feedback and input from the community on the proposed data retention waiver. After the thirty (30) calendar day period following this posting has expired, ICANN will consider all feedback and input received before making a final determination on whether to grant the Waiver Request. The scope of the proposed waiver would be to permit Ascio to maintain the information specified in Sections 1.1.1 through 1.1.8 of the Specification for the duration of its sponsorship of the Registration and for a period of one (1) additional year thereafter rather than two (2) additional years thereafter. In all other respects the terms of the Specification would remain AS-IS. The specific change to the Specification would be that, for the duration of the Waiver, the retention requirement of Section 1.1 of the Data Retention Specification be changed from "two additional years" to "one additional year." If ICANN does make a final determination to grant the Waiver Request sought by Ascio, the provisions of Section 3 of the Specification would apply to similar waivers requested by other registrars located in Denmark and subject to Danish law. Section 3 of the Specification provides as follows: If (i) ICANN has previously waived compliance with the requirements of any requirement of this Data Retention Specification in response to a Waiver Request from a registrar that is located in the same jurisdiction as Registrar and (ii) Registrar is subject to the same applicable law that gave rise to ICANN's agreement to grant such waiver, Registrar may request that ICANN to grant a similar waiver, which request shall be approved by ICANN, unless ICANN provides Registrar with a reasonable justification for not approving such request, in which case Registrar may thereafter make an Wavier Request pursuant to Section 2 of this Data Retention Specification. The Registrar's Waiver Request and supporting documents are available here: https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/waiver-request-ascio-technologi… [PDF, 6.39 MB] A public comment period will remain open until 23:59 UTC, 11 January 2016. Public comments will be available for consideration by ICANN staff and the ICANN Board. * Comments can be posted to: comments-ascio-technologies-09dec15(a)icann.org<mailto:comments-ascio-technologies-09dec15@icann.org> * Comments can be viewed at: http://forum.icann.org/lists/comments-ascio-technologies-09dec15/
