Updated Statistics [Dashboard]
by Salanieta T. Tamanikaiwaimaro Jan. 6, 2012

Jan. 6, 2012

Dear All, Thanks to Dev who kindly directed me to the Dashboards created last year, I pulled together some statistics and assembled them to see the extent of our Reach as a unit. Grateful if someone could help me with how many ALS's are in EURALO. The dashboards all across the Board *may *need updating. I will kindly seek the assistance of various RALO representatives to the ALAC to encourage the respective Secretariats to update the same or clarify the figures. The caveat with these statistics is that it is possible that there are new ALS's that are not counted in the dashboard. Aside from EURALO, it would be great if Staff could assist with gathering the following information within the RALO region: Countries with ccTLDs in ccNSO Countries with ccTLDs NOT in ccNSO Countries with ALSes and ccTLD in ccNSO Countries with no ALSes but ccTLD in ccNSO Countries with ALSes but ccTLD NOT in ccNSO Countries with no ALSes and ccTLD NOT in ccNSO It would be great if at some point we had some sort of consistent systematic template for the dashboards. I also noted a distinction in the number of countries that EURALO has on their dashboard and the one in * page 10 of the Final Report of the ccNSO Regions Working Group which shows the modification of UN Statistics to fit ICANN regions.* * * *Only one more "x" to fill, so help please.* > *Number of At Large Structures within RALOs by region* > > > > *Regions* > > *Countries and Territories**[1]* > > *Countries and Territories that have ALS* > > *No. Of Countries and Territories yet to be reached* > > *No of ALS within RALOs* > > *Latin American and Caribbean[1]<file:///C:/Users/User/Documents/ICANN/DRAFT%20PROPOSAL%20TO%20ADDRESS%20CAPACITY%20BUILDING%20WITHIN%20ICANN.doc#_ftn1> > * > > *33* > > * 15* > > * 18* > > * 38* > > *Asian Australasia and Pacific* > > *73* > > *16* > > * 57* > > * 23* > > *African[2]<file:///C:/Users/User/Documents/ICANN/DRAFT%20PROPOSAL%20TO%20ADDRESS%20CAPACITY%20BUILDING%20WITHIN%20ICANN.doc#_ftn2> > * > > *54* > > * 15* > > * 39* > > * 21* > > *European[3]<file:///C:/Users/User/Documents/ICANN/DRAFT%20PROPOSAL%20TO%20ADDRESS%20CAPACITY%20BUILDING%20WITHIN%20ICANN.doc#_ftn3> > * > > *75 (76)[4]<file:///C:/Users/User/Documents/ICANN/DRAFT%20PROPOSAL%20TO%20ADDRESS%20CAPACITY%20BUILDING%20WITHIN%20ICANN.doc#_ftn4> > * > > *14* > > * 62* > > * x* > > *Americas[5]<file:///C:/Users/User/Documents/ICANN/DRAFT%20PROPOSAL%20TO%20ADDRESS%20CAPACITY%20BUILDING%20WITHIN%20ICANN.doc#_ftn5> > * > > *51* > > * 3* > > * 48* > > * 22* > > * * > > > ------------------------------ > > [1] *The figures are the result of Modification of UN statistics regions > to obtain ICANN regions from page 10 of the Final Report of the ccNSO > Regions Working Group* > > > > ------------------------------ > > > <file:///C:/Users/User/Documents/ICANN/DRAFT%20PROPOSAL%20TO%20ADDRESS%20CAPACITY%20BUILDING%20WITHIN%20ICANN.doc#_ftnref1> > > > [2]<file:///C:/Users/User/Documents/ICANN/DRAFT%20PROPOSAL%20TO%20ADDRESS%20CAPACITY%20BUILDING%20WITHIN%20ICANN.doc#_ftnref2> > https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ao5dV8HXW3JzdHBJOWR6SDE5NWJzan… > > [3]<file:///C:/Users/User/Documents/ICANN/DRAFT%20PROPOSAL%20TO%20ADDRESS%20CAPACITY%20BUILDING%20WITHIN%20ICANN.doc#_ftnref3> > https://docs.google.com/open?id=0Ao5dV8HXW3JzdF9KTy1JZEp0YzNIRkhLNUdXVWlwSFE > > [4]<file:///C:/Users/User/Documents/ICANN/DRAFT%20PROPOSAL%20TO%20ADDRESS%20CAPACITY%20BUILDING%20WITHIN%20ICANN.doc#_ftnref4>The EURALO Dashboard in terms of number of countries differs from the > *page 10 of the Final Report of the ccNSO Regions Working Group* > > [5]<file:///C:/Users/User/Documents/ICANN/DRAFT%20PROPOSAL%20TO%20ADDRESS%20CAPACITY%20BUILDING%20WITHIN%20ICANN.doc#_ftnref5> > https://docs.google.com/open?id=0Ao5dV8HXW3JzdDI2YTI2S0ppMkNYaUFPWmFDVFIzOHc > > > > -- > Salanieta Tamanikaiwaimaro aka Sala > > Tweeter: @SalanietaT > Skype:Salanieta.Tamanikaiwaimaro > Cell: +679 998 2851 > > > > -- Salanieta Tamanikaiwaimaro aka Sala Tweeter: @SalanietaT Skype:Salanieta.Tamanikaiwaimaro Cell: +679 998 2851

Preliminary Issue Report on the Registrar Accreditation Agreement Amendments
by Alan Greenberg Jan. 4, 2012

Jan. 4, 2012

The Preliminary Issue Report on the Registrar Accreditation Agreement Amendments requested by the ICANN Board in Dakar has been published today. A public comment forum has been opened until January 13, 2012 - <http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-2-12dec11-en.htm>http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-2-12dec11-en.htm. It perhaps goes without saying that it is vitally important that At-Large review this document and provide any relevant comments by the deadline. Given the holiday season, this may be difficult. My personal opinion is that this Issue Report will trigger a PDP that will certainly last well over a year and perhaps much longer, as the issues may well be contentious. As such, allowing a few more weeks for comments may well have resulted in a better PDP without any meaningful extension in the process duration. But 1 month is what was decided. Alan

Final ALAC Statement on Preliminary Issue Report on Thick Whois
by Alan Greenberg Dec. 28, 2011

Dec. 28, 2011

The revised version of the statement based on comment submitted has been posted at https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=30345624. Aside from stylistic changes, the only two substantive changes were: - In sub-item 1, the intent of the statement needed to be clarified as suggested by Eduardo. - Sub-item 3 was added based on a comment I made early in the process with no one disputing it. Of the other suggestions, they generally were: - counter to community input in the earlier round of e-mail comments; - supported but did not change what was already in the draft statement; or - were issues related to the substantive discussion of whether the change from thin to thick should be made, the subject of the PDP if one should be started, but was not required in this vetting of the Preliminary Issue Report. If you have any concerns with this final statement, please contact me. Alan

Re: [ALAC] Final ALAC Statement on Preliminary Issue Report on âThickâ Whois
by Alan Greenberg Dec. 24, 2011

Dec. 24, 2011

Perhaps it would have been more precise, but I am happy to leave it as is. The intent was to try to ensure that those who feel that thick is less private than thin have some opportunity to raise the subject. Privacy in relation to whois in general will not be the subject of this PDP (I *HOPE*), so the generic question of who can hide in whois is not on the table.

Re: [ALAC] [ALAC-Announce] CALL FOR COMMENTS: ALAC Statement on the Geographic Regions Review
by Wolf Ludwig Dec. 17, 2011

Dec. 17, 2011

Dear all, thanks for this forward of the statement. This is just to note that EURALO shares some of the concerns expressed in the draft ALAC statement, e. g.: *"It removes countries from their original regions to which they belong to a different region, far from their lands, with very different language and culture, and a far different level of Internet penetration (Example: Yemen from Asia to Europe)" -- besides other strange and unconceivable examples like this. Furthermore and as indicated in an earlier EURALO suggestion, we support the ALAC advise that • any country should be allowed to request for a change from its current region • the request for change should bring the country to a region closer to its land.

Fwd: Message from the GNSO IRTP Part C Working Group
by Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond Dec. 16, 2011

Dec. 16, 2011

FYI. We will be speaking briefly about this during our ALAC conference call next Tuesday, in the section "Policy Advice Development Calendar". Although the ExCom has concluded that we neither have the bandwidth nor the immediate knowledge to comment in the current public process ending 22 Dec 2011, I encourage members who have the knowledge and interest of such matters to participate actively. Seeing that the message contains a call for volunteers to participate in the group and that the attached file contains questions to our community, I shall be asking if there are any volunteers to collate our response in time to submit it by 6th January 2012. Kind regards, Olivier -------- Message original -------- Sujet: Message from the GNSO IRTP Part C Working Group Date : Fri, 16 Dec 2011 02:51:45 -0800 De : Glen de Saint Géry <Glen(a)icann.org> Pour : ocl(a)gih.com <ocl(a)gih.com> Copie à : James M. Bladel <jbladel(a)godaddy.com>, Avri Doria <avri(a)acm.org>, Marika Konings <marika.konings(a)icann.org>, gnso.secretariat(a)gnso.icann.org <gnso.secretariat(a)gnso.icann.org>, Heidi Ullrich <Heidi.Ullrich(a)icann.org> Dear Olivier, The GNSO Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy (IRTP) Part C Policy Development Process has begun and the Working Group formed to do the work is requesting your group's input to help inform its deliberations. As required by the ICANN Bylaws an ICANN Public Comment period <http://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/irtp-c-charter-21nov11-en.htm> is currently open until 22 December. As recommended by the new GNSO Policy Development Process which was adopted by the ICANN Board on 8 December, the WG is making direct outreach to several Advisory Committees and to the ccNSO. The IRTP Part C Working Group has been charged with responding to three charter issues: * "Change of Control" function, including an investigation of how this function is currently achieved, if there are any applicable models in the country-code name space that can be used as a best practice for the gTLD space, and any associated security concerns. It should also include a review of locking procedures, as described in Reasons for Denial #8 and #9, with an aim to balance legitimate transfer activity and security. * Whether provisions on time-limiting Form Of Authorization (FOA)s should be implemented to avoid fraudulent transfers out. For example, if a Gaining Registrar sends and receives an FOA back from a transfer contact, but the name is locked, the registrar may hold the FOA pending adjustment to the domain name status, during which time the registrant or other registration information may have changed. * Whether the process could be streamlined by a requirement that registries use IANA IDs for registrars rather than proprietary IDs. To assist the GNSO Constituencies and Stakeholder Groups with producing their comments, an input template has been created. The WG has decided to forward you copy of this template with the request that your group consider using it as a basis for comment on the issues being discussed by the WG. The template is attached to this email. While the template was created specifically for the GNSO Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies, it is hoped that it might also be useful in any comments your group might decide to submit to the IRTP Part C WG. However, should you decide to submit your comments in a different way that would be welcome too. The WG membership would also like your group to know that the IRTP Part C WG is open to participation by members of the ICANN Community either as representatives of a group, such as an AC, or as individuals participating in their own capacity. We encourage your members to participate in the IRTP Part C WG if they are concerned by the issues in the WG's charter and wish to have a direct voice into the bottom-up formation of the WG recommendations. The WG also would welcome a designated observer or participant in the group, which can be designated using the template or via email. If possible, we would appreciate your feedback by 6 January 2012 at the latest. Best Regards, James Bladel and Avri Doria, co-chairs of the IRTP Part C Working Group
