ALAC Decision on Fundamental Bylaw Change
by Alan Greenberg July 14, 2017

July 14, 2017

The ICANN Board has requested Empowered Community approval for a change to an ICANN Fundamental Bylaw as documented at https://www.icann.org/public-comments/bylaws-bgc-2017-03-31-en. The change creates a new Board Committee (Board Accountability Mechanisms Committee - BAMC) and assigns responsibilities associated with ICANN Accountability Mechanisms to it. Following the Community Forum on the change held during the Johannesburg meeting, we have 21 day following the close of the meeting during which we may approve or reject the Bylaw change. For the change to take effect, at least three of the five Empowered Community Members (GNSO, ccNSO, ASO, ALAC, GAC) must approve the change and no more than one may reject the change. The ALAC comment said that we would have appreciated more detail in the charter (which is pointed to by the link above). The response was only that this would be done by the Board in due time. At the Community Forum, I made it clear that this answer was not an encouraging one. The Board member representing the Board, Chris Disspain agreed that the staff reply was not good. That being said, I beleive that the Charter that was provided does give sufficient information to allow me to feel comfortable in recommending that the ALAC approve the Bylaw change. During discussion in Johannesburg, Sebastien raised the issue of why it was essential to make this change now, and not to wait until the CCwG Accountability had completed. During the Community Forum in Johannesburg, the rational was described in some detail. The core of it being that the current committee had a lot on its plate, and the Accountability actions were diverting it from its core work. Moreover, there is little dependency on other CCWG activities, so there is not a lot of linkage. Moreover, although not the reason for acting now, but an added benefit is the ability to "test" the Empowered Community processes on an issue that is not as onerous as some of the powers. With this message, I am requesting that Staff initiate, a BigPulse vote of the ALAC on the motion below. The vote should start as soon as possible and must end no later that 12:00 UTC on 20 July 2017. To pass, in accordance with ALAC RoP 24.1, the motion must receive the support of at least 10 ALAC Members. Motion: Whereas: - The ICANN Board has proposed a revision to the ICANN Fundamental Bylaws; - As prescribed by the ICANN Bylaws on the Empowered Community, the revision was discussed at a Community Forum held in Johannesburg on 26 June 2017 Therefore: - The ALAC wishes to exercise its power as a Decisional Participant in the ICANN Empowered Community by supporting the Fundamental Bylaw revision creating the Board Accountability Mechanisms Committee.

No, not really, since the fact that the Auctions funds came from gTLD auctions is really peripheral to how the funds will be used, which is the subject og the CCWG. The funds could well have come from selling lollipops and the questions in the CCWG would be largely the same.

At the moment, we have little choice but to respond on our own behalf, but with whatever knowledge is available about other At-Large opinions. We really need to convene a support group for this though!

Re: [ALAC] WHOIS Element Usage for GDPR Analysis
by Alan Greenberg July 13, 2017

Here is what I have come up with. From a simple "user" perspective, there are not an awful lot of situations when you need to do a WHOIS query. Far more for registrant. But I am sure I have missed some use cases. Please let me know what I am missing and what I have wrong.

WHOIS Element Usage for GDPR Analysis
by Alan Greenberg July 13, 2017

July 13, 2017

This is coming very late, but following Johannesburg I was swamped with non-ICANN issues and am trying to dig my way out. As was discussed at the meeting, ICANN has (finally) woken up and is addressing the GDPR. As I understand it, as part of this, ICANN needs to get expert legal opinion and present a case to European data commissioners. The first step is to identify how various parties use WHOIS data elements today. This is not an exercise in determining whether the particular elements are in fact "personal information" nor to determine if the usage is legitimate (under any particular rules). It is just to identify uses. I am looking at this from three different perspectives: 1. User 2. Individual registrant 3. What I call user "tech support" - those of us who, for free or charge, help non-technical users and registrants solve their problems Attached you will find. A. Meeting notes from the introductory meeting held in Johannesburg B. A list of WHOIS elements C. Matrix Instructions D. Usage Matrix ("User Stories") to be filled in. I will send you what I have completed shortly. I must submit it by the end of Saturday, so time is short. Alan

Criteria/Selection for Additional Travel Slots to ICANN50.
by Alan Greenberg July 11, 2017

July 11, 2017

As discussed in Johannesburg, The ALAC has requested additional revel slots to be used for "At-Large workers who are active participants in At-Large and other ICANN policy activities". We were allocated two such slots as a pilot program for FY18 starting at ICANN60. To use these slots, we must establish criteria to be met. As we must decide on who is attending this before the end of July, time is tight. I am requesting a small group, one person per RALO to be created to work with the ALT to develop criteria and recommend participants to the ALAC. My strong preference is that the RALO representative be the current or incoming RALO Chair. Whoever is selected must be available to work over the next few weeks. It is not expected to be a heavy workload, but the timing is tight. With this message, I am asking each RALO Chair to identify who will participate from their RALOs, with a deadline of no later than Friday, preferably earlier. Alan
