Hello all, please be so kind to find the message below that links to the updated discussion paper. You will note that the views expressed in the ALAC's Statement were taken into account. I believe that what comes next is the ALAC will be asked to supply the names of two volunteers to be part of the Charter Drafting Team.

by Rinalia Abdul Rahim Dec. 24, 2015

Dec. 24, 2015

Congratulations Carlton and Kaili! I look forward to the review recommendations. :) Best regards, Rinalia ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "ICANN At-Large Staff" <staff(a)atlarge.icann.org> Date: Dec 24, 2015 9:13 AM Subject: [ALAC-Announce] ICANN News Alert -- Competition, Consumer Trust and Consumer Choice Review Team Seated To: "alac-announce(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org" < alac-announce(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org> Cc: [image: ICANN] <http://www.icann.org/> News Alert https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2-2015-12-23-en ------------------------------ Competition, Consumer Trust and Consumer Choice Review Team Seated 23 December 2015 ICANN today announced that 17 individuals have been selected to serve on the team that will review the New gTLD Program in relation to competition, consumer trust and consumer choice (CCT). Review team members represent an array of geographic regions and areas of expertise, and have demonstrated knowledge of the New gTLD Program or one of the review areas. Six review team members were endorsed by the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) and two were endorsed by the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC). Four members will serve as independent experts and bring deep knowledge of economics, consumer protection and intellectual property law, and Internet security to the team. Of the remaining five team members, two also belong to the Country Code Names Supporting Organization (ccNSO), two from the Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC), and one represents ICANN's CEO. In accordance with ICANN's Affirmation of Commitments <https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/affirmation-of-commitments-2009-09-30…>, CCT review team members were selected by ICANN CEO Fadi Chehadé and GAC Chair Thomas Schneider. The pair made their selections based on rigorous analysis of application materials from 72 candidates. Applications were evaluated against the criteria outlined in the call for volunteers <https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/call-volunteers-cct-rt-2015-10-01-en> with a particular focus on candidates' expertise in competition, consumer trust and consumer choice. Endorsements and guidance from the GNSO and ALAC were also taken into consideration. Chehadé and Schneider chose candidates representing a cross-section of experience and geographic diversity. The Affirmation of Commitments also allows the CEO and GAC chair to serve on the review team or designate representatives. Chehadé will be represented by ICANN's Jamie Hedlund <https://www.icann.org/profiles/james-hedlund>, and Schneider by Laureen Kapin <https://www.icann.org/sites/default/files/packages/applications-16nov15/kap…> [PDF, 89 KB], of the GAC Public Safety Working Group and the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. The CCT review team is expected to convene for its first meeting in January 2016 and to complete a final draft of its report by December 2016. Periodic updates on the progress of the review will be made available on icann.org <https://www.icann.org/> and at ICANN public meetings. *Members Representing an ICANN Supporting Organization or Advisory Committee* Candidate Country SO/AC Documents Calvin Browne South Africa GNSO - Letter of motivation <https://www.icann.org/sites/default/files/packages/applications-16nov15/bro…> - Curriculum vitae <https://www.icann.org/sites/default/files/packages/applications-16nov15/bro…> - Statement of interests <https://www.icann.org/sites/default/files/packages/applications-16nov15/bro…> Jordyn Buchanan USA GNSO - Letter of motivation <https://www.icann.org/sites/default/files/packages/applications-16nov15/buc…> - Curriculum vitae <https://www.icann.org/sites/default/files/packages/applications-16nov15/buc…> - Statement of interests <https://www.icann.org/sites/default/files/packages/applications-16nov15/buc…> Carlos Raul Gutierrez Costa Rica GNSO - Letter of motivation <https://www.icann.org/sites/default/files/packages/applications-16nov15/gut…> - Curriculum vitae <https://www.icann.org/sites/default/files/packages/applications-16nov15/gut…> - Statement of interests <https://www.icann.org/sites/default/files/packages/applications-16nov15/gut…> Waudo Siganga Kenya GNSO - Letter of motivation <https://www.icann.org/sites/default/files/packages/applications-16nov15/sig…> - Curriculum vitae <https://www.icann.org/sites/default/files/packages/applications-16nov15/sig…> - Statement of interests <https://www.icann.org/sites/default/files/packages/applications-16nov15/sig…> David Taylor United Kingdom GNSO - Letter of motivation <https://www.icann.org/sites/default/files/packages/applications-16nov15/tay…> - Curriculum vitae <https://www.icann.org/sites/default/files/packages/applications-16nov15/tay…> - Statement of interests <https://www.icann.org/sites/default/files/packages/applications-16nov15/tay…> Jonathan Zuck USA GNSO - Letter of motivation <https://www.icann.org/sites/default/files/packages/applications-16nov15/zuc…> - Curriculum vitae <https://www.icann.org/sites/default/files/packages/applications-16nov15/zuc…> - Statement of interests <https://www.icann.org/sites/default/files/packages/applications-16nov15/zuc…> Kaili Kan People's Republic of China ALAC - Letter of motivation <https://www.icann.org/sites/default/files/packages/applications-16nov15/kan…> - Curriculum vitae <https://www.icann.org/sites/default/files/packages/applications-16nov15/kan…> - Statement of interests <https://www.icann.org/sites/default/files/packages/applications-16nov15/kan…> Carlton Samuels Jamaica ALAC - Letter of motivation <https://www.icann.org/sites/default/files/packages/applications-16nov15/sam…> - Curriculum vitae <https://www.icann.org/sites/default/files/packages/applications-16nov15/sam…> - Statement of interests <https://www.icann.org/sites/default/files/packages/applications-16nov15/sam…> Megan Richards Belgium GAC - Curriculum vitae <https://www.icann.org/sites/default/files/packages/applications-16nov15/ric…> - Statement of interests <https://www.icann.org/sites/default/files/packages/applications-16nov15/ric…> Dejan Djukic Serbia ccNSO - Letter of motivation <https://www.icann.org/sites/default/files/packages/applications-16nov15/dju…> - Curriculum vitae <https://www.icann.org/sites/default/files/packages/applications-16nov15/dju…> - Statement of interests <https://www.icann.org/sites/default/files/packages/applications-16nov15/dju…> Gaongalelwe G.P.

An implementation advisory group recommended a set of 66 metrics <http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/reviews/cct/iag-metrics-final-recs-26sep14-en.…> [PDF, 472 KB], which the ICANN Board adopted, for the review team to consider. ICANN has been collecting data on many of these metrics <https://www.icann.org/resources/reviews/cct/metrics>. In addition, ICANN commissioned a global survey and economic study to gather data on certain metrics. Baseline reports on consumer <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2015-05-29-en> and registrant <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2015-09-25-en> awareness of new gTLDs have been published along with an economic assessment <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2-2015-09-28-en> of competition in the domain name marketplace. These and other supporting materials will be made available to the review team to inform its work. More information on the CCT review is available here <http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/reviews/cct>. About ICANN *ICANN's mission is to help ensure a stable, secure and unified global Internet. To reach another person on the Internet, you have to type an address into your computer - a name or a number. That address has to be unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN helps coordinate and support these unique identifiers across the world. ICANN was formed in 1998 as a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation and a community with participants from all over the world. ICANN and its community help keep the Internet secure, stable and interoperable. It also promotes competition and develops policy for the top-level of the Internet's naming system and facilitates the use of other unique Internet identifiers.

URGENT: Draft Comment on CCWG Proposal - Last call for changes
by Alan Greenberg Dec. 21, 2015

Dec. 21, 2015

This message was supposed to have been sent on Saturday evening (my time) but unfortunately was sent only to the IANA-Issues list. The original plan (as outlined below) was to try to get a majority of ALAC Members to ratify this prior to submission, but that is no longer practical. We will submit at the deadline (Monday, 21 December, 23:59 UTC) factoring in any corrections at the time, and ratify during the ALAC meeting tomorrow. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Attached please find the draft text for the ALAC response to the Public Comment on the CCWG-Accountability 3rd Draft Proposal. The text is based on the answers: - reviewed and revised by the IANA-Issues WG at its meetings of on 04 December 2015 and 11 December 2015 - reviewed and adjusted based on the Webinars of 16/17 December 2015 Please review the responses and identify any errors including typos no later than 13:00 UTC on Monday, 21 December 2015. Earlier input will be much appreciated. Once any revisions are incorporated, a final version will be published and a ratification vote of the ALAC will begin. The vote will be kept open for 2 days, but we will need sufficient votes to ensure that it is ratified by 23:59 UTC on 21 December 2015 when the comment is officially due to be submitted. Alan
