Suggested revision of At-Large Policy Development template
by Alan Greenberg May 13, 2018

May 13, 2018

It has been pointed out to me that the template we use has a space for "First Draft" and then "Final Draft". This works for issues that do not generate a lot of dialogue and revision of the statement. For such statements, there is no specific place to post the revised version(s). Simply changing the first draft does not really work, because then we are left with Wiki comments on that draft that refer back to something that is no longer there (unless you go to the trouble of finding the correct earlier version). I suggest that we change the title from "FIRST DRAFT SUBMITTED" to "DRAFT STATEMENTS" and add instructions saying that if multiple draft versions are posted, old versions should remain, with the newer version posted at the top of the box, prefixed with the date posted and author, and separated from earlier versions by a horizontal line. That way we have a full history of the draft evolution. Does anyone see a reason not to do this? Alan

Community OnBoarding Program
by Alan Greenberg April 12, 2018

April 12, 2018

We never got to this on the meeting today. I have asked a qualifying question about whether we can have 2 mentees (and one already funded mentor) or only 1 mentee and 1 mentor as prescribed in the program. Hopefully we will have an answer tomorrow and can decide how to proceed. Alan

DNSSEC KSK Rollover test
by Alan Greenberg March 30, 2018

March 30, 2018

Please take a moment to go to http://dnssec-failed.org. One of two things will happen: 1. You will not be able to reach the site. or 2. You will get a page on Comcast Network Management. If 2 is your result, the DNS resolver you are using is NOT DNSSEC-enabled and the KSK Rollover will be invisible to you. If you will be on the ALAC meeting, please do this before the meeting so you can report your results. Alan

KSK Rollover on today's ALAC Agenda
by Alan Greenberg March 29, 2018

March 29, 2018

Here is my last try at summarizing things. What is wrong or missing? ----------------- What I am hearing (extrapolated) is: * Our community understands the need to roll the KSK but is divided on which path to follow at this point. * We want an intense awareness campaign including targetting ISPs, Telcos, Major industries. Use RIRs where they can identify potential DNS providers. * Information packet we can send to our community (ALSes, Individual Members) to get them to prompt their local ISPs or others and which can be similarly used by other constituencies within ICANN. * A holistic review of the situation (including a risk assessment of alternatives) in time for further discussion at ICANN62, including the then current state of whatever data is available and forecast of Sentinal availability. * We would like to better understand under what conditions a rollover date change is possible to avoid doing it at the end of a week.

Multistakeholder Ethos Award Submission
by Alan Greenberg March 29, 2018

March 29, 2018

As per the decision of the ALAC today, I have nominated Stephane Van Gelder for the Multistakeholder Ethos Award. Alan ===================== 1. Demonstrated ability to work across community lines with both familiar and unfamiliar ICANN Stakeholders with the aim of consensus building and collaboration that substantiate ICANN's multistakeholder model; >Stephane was the classic example someone who was from one particular >constituency within ICANN, but clearly believed that all voices must >be heard and given due consideration. The discussion and e-mail >traffic within At-Large and the ALAC discussing the possibility for >this submission was truly amazing. People who one would have thought >would have had no contact with Stephane all had stories of how they >collaborated with him in some way over the years. 2. Facilitator of dialogue and open discussion in a fair and collegial manner, through the spirit of collaboration as shown through empathy and demonstrating a sincere desire to engage with people from other backgrounds, cultures, and interests; >As Chair of the GNSO Counsel and later Chair of the Nominating >Committee, Stephane had ample opportunity to deal with difficult and >contentious situations. Based on the reports of all who have worked >with him in both environments, he tirelessly met the challenge with >his characteristic aplomb showing even-handedness, intelligence, >sensitivity, positive attitude and of course, humor. 3. Demonstrated additional devotional factors exhibited by time spent supporting ICANN's multistakeholder model and its overall effectiveness through volunteer service via working groups or committees. >Stephane served in a wide variety of roles in ICANN for almost 20 >year. No matter how much one cares about the Internet and ICANN and >one's business interests, to do that for such a period of time >signals a very high level of devotion. The submission is being made in my capacity of Chair of the ALAC based on a formal decision of the ALAC. However, I would like to add a personal note. I do so with some concern, since as a past member of the Ethos Award Panel, I have questioned whether panelists should submit candidates (and several have over the years). This is an exceptional case. The submission was of course triggered by Stephane's untimely death yesterday. But there are few people in ICANN who I believe merit this award as much as Stephane did and does. I worked with Stephane when I was ALAC Liaison to the GNSO and he was Chair. His ability to make me feel a true part of the Council and not an interloper is something for which I am very grateful.

URGENT: Proposal for a motion for the ALAC
by Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond March 28, 2018

March 28, 2018

Dear Alan, the European At-Large Organisation (EURALO) has held its call a moment ago and after holding a 1 minute silence in memory of Stéphane van Gelder who has left us in tragic circumstances, participants on the call fully supported the proposal of a motion to be made by an ALAC member, for the ALAC to decide to nominate Stéphane van Gelder for the ICANN Ethos Award. The Ethos Award nomination period has been extended to 28 March 2018, so any vote of support should take place today. https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2018-03-20-en In the meantime, I am also sending a 24H consensus call for support of this motion to the EURALO mailing list. Stéphane was a EURALO individual member and will be greatly missed. Please be so kind to consider this motion even though it is arriving at such short notice before the ALAC call. Kindest regards, Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond EURALO Chair

GDPR on today's ALAC Agenda
by Alan Greenberg March 28, 2018

March 28, 2018

Attached and in the body of this message are the notes for today's discussion of GDPR on the ALAC Call. ----------------------------- ALAC Meeting 27 March 2018 GDPR Discussion The ALAC and At-Large are divided on whether the proposed Interim Model meets the requirements of the GDPR and specifically whether the rationales for collecting various data items are specified in sufficient detail and are sufficiently compelling. There are also differing views on whether the transport of data to Registries in compliance with "thick WHOIS" rules is GDPR compliant. In the absence of concerns over privacy, ICANN has previously determined that the thick WHOIS model is the one that should be used and we should not re-litigate that here. We have similarly decided that single points of failure must be avoided and all data must be escrowed in case of any of multiple forms of failure. All data items have proven useful in the past (that was the result of ICANN's earlier work). Whether it can be justified in the current situation is the question. All of these issues will need to be judged by DPAs and to the extent that they make clear statements, we will have to abide by them. The ALAC has the responsibility to look at all issues from and end-user perspective. We also have concerns for registrant issues, but where they differ we support users. 1. Must registrars continue to collect the contact details for administrative and technical contacts and transmit them to the registry and escrow provider? 2. Should anonymized e-mail addresses should be substituted for the e-mail addresses for registrant, administrative, and technical contacts in public WHOIS? 3. Should registries and registries be permitted to optionally apply the model on a global basis? 4. Should the model apply to contact details supplied by registrants who are legal persons? 5. Which elements of WHOIS data should be published in public WHOIS while an accreditation program for layered/tiered access is being developed? 6. How many levels should the "tiered" access mechanism support? 7. Bulk access should it be allowed?
