As no petitions were received, the Rejection Process therefore terminates automatically. Under the ICANN Bylaws, a formal notice certifying the termination will be delivered by the Empowered Community Administration to the ICANN Secretary. NEW: Evolving ICANN’s Multistakeholder Model: Continuing the Conversation and Preparing for ICANN65 Executive: Theresa Swinehart, Senior Vice President, Multistakeholder Strategy and Strategic Initiatives FOR: All Community Leaders INFORMATION SHARING Brian Cute has published his latest blog post <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001DEP0q2vMrWmXgKcseMjSOArEGPpMGgWT1FOPyJbMb098…> updating the community on the work related to evolving ICANN's multistakeholder model.

NEW: CSC Findings on PTI Performance for April 2019 From: Byron Holland, Customer Standing Committee (CSC) Chair FOR: All Community Leaders INFORMATION SHARING I am pleased to inform you that the CSC has concluded that Public Technical Identifier (PTI)’s overall performance over April 2019 was “Excellent” - PTI met the service level agreement at 100% for the month of April 2019. The related PTI report to the CSC, listing the individual service level metrics along with their actual and historical performance, can be found here <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001DEP0q2vMrWmXgKcseMjSOArEGPpMGgWT1FOPyJbMb098…> . I’m also very pleased to inform you that the CSC and PTI made considerable progress in updating the Service Level Agreements (SLAs) identified in our Findings Report <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001DEP0q2vMrWmXgKcseMjSOArEGPpMGgWT1FOPyJbMb098…>. The CSC was informed that ICANN and PTI have completed the amendment of the IANA Naming Function Contract to allow for a differentiated approach to changes of the SLAs. The CSC has agreed with the PTI plan how to update two (2) Service Levels listed in the CSC Findings Report: 1. Update to “Technical Checks – Retest” to better align with operational realities. The change refers to the timing for tests (current SLA 1-5 minutes, the actual performance is between 5-8 minutes and the proposal is to change it to 10 minutes). It is understood that this change does NOT have an impact on the services to the direct customers, and therefore and in accordance with agreed procedures no public comment period is required. 2. The second change is the introduction of a new SLA for processing Label Generation Rules (LGRs) with respect to Internationalized Domain Name tables and publishing these tables. This is a new SLA to be introduced at the suggestion of the CSC. PTI will shortly start a public comment forum to seek feed-back and input on the proposed SLA. More detailed information around both SLAs can be found at: - Technical Check Change (PDF) <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001DEP0q2vMrWmXgKcseMjSOArEGPpMGgWT1FOPyJbMb098…> - New SLAs for Publication of LGRs <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001DEP0q2vMrWmXgKcseMjSOArEGPpMGgWT1FOPyJbMb098…> In addition, the CSC has adopted and agreed to the proposed implementation of the four (4) recommendations by the CSC Effectiveness Review Team. - Documenting and make public the very limited role if the CSC with respect to individual complaints related to the IANA Naming Function Services. - On-boarding of new members and liaisons - Develop a skill/expertise matrix to assist appointing organizations in their selection process - Inform the members and liaisons appointing organizations timely about the attendance record of their appointees. The CSC response to the recommendations of the CSC Effectiveness Review is fully concluded (eight months after it started). BACKGROUND Generally, the CSC regular meeting is scheduled at or around the 15th every month, and the CSC. Findings report on the PTI performance is sent out shortly after that meeting. If you would like to be informed of upcoming meetings or receive CSC reports directly, you may want to subscribe to our announce list <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001DEP0q2vMrWmXgKcseMjSOArEGPpMGgWT1FOPyJbMb098…>.

REMINDER: Meet with the ATRT3 Review Team at ICANN65 Executive: Theresa Swinehart, Senior Vice President, Multistakeholder Strategy and Strategic Initiatives FOR: All SO/AC Chairs INFORMATION SHARING The third Accountability and Transparency Review Team (ATRT3) will meet in Marrakech to advance its work.

We will send you a preliminary set of questions ahead of the meeting to aid the discussion. We also welcome any questions you wish to raise in advance. Our goal for Marrakech is to: - Socialize our terms of reference and scope; - Conduct investigation of identified objectives - Seek input from the community to help us shape our findings and draft recommendations. BACKGROUND The ATRT review is mandated by ICANN Bylaws Section 4.6 (b) to examine ICANN’s execution of its commitment to maintain and improve robust mechanisms for public input, accountability, and transparency so as to ensure that the outcomes of its decision-making reflect the public interest and are accountable to the Internet community. Prior to meeting in Marrakech, the review team met on 3-5 April in Los Angeles for its first substantive meeting to develop our terms of reference and work plan, in response to the Board Resolution (2018.10.25.15) requesting that “ATRT3 adopt its Terms of Reference and Work Plan within 60 days of convening its first meeting, and submit these documents to the Board and to the leadership of the Supporting Organizations and the Advisory Committees, to confirm that the team's scope and timeline are consistent with the requirements of the ICANN Bylaws and ICANN community expectations.” We look forward to hearing from you.

BACKGROUND Supporting the evolution of RSS governance contributes to the commitment of ICANN to strengthen the security, stability, and resiliency of the Domain Name System. It also enables direct interaction between the ICANN community and the RSOs. Furthermore, it ensures that global root service remains accountable and sustainable into the future. Evolving the governance of the RSS will result in significant changes to the ICANN community and ICANN org. The community-driven process to develop a final governance model envisions considerable work and commitment of resources. Any budgetary and financial implications will be handled through ICANN processes that ensure accountability and transparency. NEW: Get Ready for ICANN65 Prep Week Executive: David Olive, Senior Vice President, Policy Development Support FOR: All Community Leaders INFORMATION SHARING ICANN released the schedule for ICANN65 Prep Week <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001h7qZzKjSLWLCFC4E0PhJ1vSme1Cb_2QTbXX-7Tda8cUP…>. The Prep Week will feature eight webinars, including updates on several community-led projects. This initiative aims to streamline the pre-ICANN Public Meeting experience to enable more substantive conversations during sessions, increase awareness of cross-community and high-interest topics, and enhance briefings and readout sessions. Register and submit any questions via this form <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001h7qZzKjSLWLCFC4E0PhJ1vSme1Cb_2QTbXX-7Tda8cUP…> by Friday, 7 June 2019. All registered attendees will receive participation details days before the webinar dates. NEW: ICANN Publishes Revised Draft Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years 2021-2025 Executive: Theresa Swinehart, Senior Vice President, Multistakeholder Strategy and Strategic Initiatives FOR: All Community Leaders INFORMATION SHARING This Revised Draft Strategic Plan <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001h7qZzKjSLWLCFC4E0PhJ1vSme1Cb_2QTbXX-7Tda8cUP…> reflects comments received during a public consultation <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001h7qZzKjSLWLCFC4E0PhJ1vSme1Cb_2QTbXX-7Tda8cUP…> held between December 2018 and February 2019 on the Draft Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years 2021–2025, and at a public session <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001h7qZzKjSLWLCFC4E0PhJ1vSme1Cb_2QTbXX-7Tda8cUP…> held at ICANN64 in Kobe, Japan. A summary of how comments were considered in the Revised Plan is available in a document that lists, sorted by contributor, comments received and ICANN organization's responses. The summary document can be found on the Strategic Plan Public Comments proceedings page <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001h7qZzKjSLWLCFC4E0PhJ1vSme1Cb_2QTbXX-7Tda8cUP…> . The Public Comment process and session at ICANN64 yielded helpful and specific clarifications, but no fundamental substantive changes or feedback. Therefore, as a next step, the Revised Draft Plan will be presented to the ICANN Board in June 2019 for consideration and adoption. The affordability of this Strategic Plan will be considered as part of the Five-Year Operating and Financial Plan currently under development. IN TWO DAYS: End of Rejection Action Petition Period Executive: David Olive, Senior Vice President, Policy Development Support FOR: All Community Leaders INFORMATION SHARING Under the ICANN Bylaws, the ICANN Board's approval of the FY20 Operating Plan and Budget and updates to the Five-Year Operating Plan on Wednesday, 8 May 2019 triggered a Rejection Action Petition Period for the Empowered Community. This 21-day period will end at 23:59 PDT (Los Angeles being the location of the principal ICANN office) on Wednesday, 29 May 2019, or 06:59 UTC on Thursday, 30 May 2019. The ICANN Bylaws also require that Decisional Participants in the Empowered Community “promptly inform their constituents” of the delivery of the relevant ICANN Board notices. Please refer to Annex D of the ICANN Bylaws <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001h7qZzKjSLWLCFC4E0PhJ1vSme1Cb_2QTbXX-7Tda8cUP…> for additional details on the Rejection Process, including all pertinent deadlines and requirements for Rejection Action Petitions. REMINDER: CCT-RT Recommendations Executive: Theresa Swinehart, Senior Vice President, Multistakeholder Strategy and Strategic Initiatives FOR: All Community Leaders INFORMATION SHARING The ICANN Board passed a resolution on 1 March 2019 that calls for a set of Competition, Consumer Trust, and Consumer Choice Review Team (CCT-RT) Final Recommendations to be passed through, in whole or in part, to community groups. Notifications will be circulated to the community group the CCT-RT identified for the fourteen passed through recommendations. As articulated in the Board resolution, "passing through these CCT-RT recommendations is not a directive that the groups identified should formally address any of the issues within those recommendations. It is within the purview of each group to identify whether work will be taken on and the topics that the group will address". BACKGROUND The CCT-RT released its Final Report <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001h7qZzKjSLWLCFC4E0PhJ1vSme1Cb_2QTbXX-7Tda8cUP…> on 8 September 2018. It contains 35 recommendations and is the culmination of nearly three years of work, reviewing how the expansion of top-level domain names impacted competition, consumer trust, and choice. More information <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001h7qZzKjSLWLCFC4E0PhJ1vSme1Cb_2QTbXX-7Tda8cUP…> about the CCT Review and Specific Reviews.

The Board’s decisions on each recommendation are documented here <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001h7qZzKjSLWLCFC4E0PhJ1vSme1Cb_2QTbXX-7Tda8cUP…> and a blog post about the Board action can be found here <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001h7qZzKjSLWLCFC4E0PhJ1vSme1Cb_2QTbXX-7Tda8cUP…> for more context.

Notifications will be circulated to the community group the CCT-RT identified for the fourteen passed through recommendations.

It is within the purview of each group to identify whether work will be taken on and the topics that the group will address".

Fwd: [soac-chairs] Chair’s Blog: Wrapping up the Istanbul Workshop
by Maureen Hilyard May 18, 2019

May 18, 2019

Chair’s Blog: Wrapping up the Istanbul Workshop <https://www.icann.org/news/blog/chair-s-blog-wrapping-up-the-istanbul-works…> [image: Thumb cherine blog final feature 01] In this blog, I share some of the more significant discussions from the ICANN Board workshop, which was held earlier this month in Istanbul, Turkey, as well as a summary of the key resolutions passed during the public Board meeting in Istanbul. I will also update you on three Board actions we have taken since the workshop. *Istanbul Workshop* We followed the agenda which was detailed in my preview blog <https://www.icann.org/news/blog/chair-s-blog-a-preview-of-the-istanbul-boar…>, with one exception. The open Board session regarding approval of the IDN v4 Guidelines that was planned for 2 May 2019 was postponed so that the Board can review and consider a request received by the GNSO Council <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/drazek-to-chalaby-30ap…> on 30 April 2019 to review the policy implications prior to a decision being made. A new date and time for the IDN v4 Guidelines discussion will be announced. *Community Reception* While in Istanbul, we also had the pleasure of attending a reception with more than 40 community members. *RSSAC37 & RSSAC38* During the Istanbul workshop, the Board continued our discussions on the Root Server System Advisory Committee's proposal for a DNS Root Server System (RSSAC037 <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/rssac-037-15jun18-en.pdf>) governance model and recommendations for next steps on the Proposed Governance Model for the Root Server System (RSSAC038 <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/rssac-038-15jun18-en.pdf>). As part of the ICANN Board’s consideration of RSSAC037 and RSSAC038, ICANN org, working with the Board Technical Committee, prepared a “Concept Paper on a Community-Driven Process to Develop a Final Model Based on RSSAC037” that outlines a community-driven process to finalize a cooperation and governance model for the Root Server System, based on the recommendations in RSSAC037. This effort will be led by the Root Server System Governance Working Group (GWG), to be composed of nine invited representatives, including two from the Registry Stakeholder Group. As a next step in this evolution process, the Board directed ICANN org to publish RSSAC037, the Concept Paper, draft charter and draft GWG documents for Public Comment. *FY20 Operating Plan & Budget* The Board adopted the FY20 Operating Plan & Budget after conducting a final review of the public comments. *FY21 – FY25 Operating and Financial Plan * The Board reviewed the framework document for the Operating and Financial Plan for Fiscal Years 2021-2025. This document will be posted for Public Comment at the beginning of June, and following this, the framework will be developed into a comprehensive draft plan that will be posted for a second Public Comment period by December 2019. A detailed Operating Plan & Budget for the first year of the plan (i.e. Fiscal Year 2021) will also be posted for Public Comment in December 2019 so that the community can review the two documents together, and within the context of the Strategic Plan. *Strengthening ICANN's Multistakeholder Model of Governance* The Board received an update on the progress made in developing a Governance Plan to improve both the efficiency and effectiveness of our multistakeholder model. We appreciate the participation of the SO/AC leadership thus far, and want to encourage everyone to participate in the open public comment <https://www.icann.org/public-comments/evolving-multistakeholder-model-2019-…> on this topic, which closes 4 June 2019. *B**oard Resolutions* On 3 May 2019, we held a public Board meeting and passed several resolutions <https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/2019-board-meetings>, including: - March 2021 ICANN Meeting Venue Contracting <https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2019-05-03-en#1.b> - June 2021 ICANN Meeting Venue Contracting <https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2019-05-03-en#1.c> - Appointment of Nominating Committee Chair-Elect for the Remainder of the 2018-2019 Term <https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2019-05-03-en#1.h> - Transfer of the .TR (Turkey) top-level domain <https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2019-05-03-en#2.a> - Acceptance of the Second Organizational Review of the RSSAC – Final Report and Feasibility Assessment and Initial Implementation Plan <https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2019-05-03-en#2.b> - FY20 Operating Plan and Budget and the Five-Year Operating Plan Update <https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2019-05-03-en#2.c> - Public Comment on Root Server System Evolution <https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2019-05-03-en#2.d> *Board Actions since the Istanbul Workshop* On 15 May, we held a Board meeting and passed the following three resolutions: *1- Expedited Policy Development Process (EPDP) on the Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data* During the Istanbul workshop, the Board had an extensive discussion of the recommendations presented by the EPDP team. On 15 May, following the workshop, the ICANN Board adopted all the recommendations <https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2019-05-15-en#1.b>, apart from portions of two recommendations. The Board action is in the best interests of ICANN and the community and will serve the global public interest by allowing ICANN and gTLD registry operators and registrars to continue to comply with existing ICANNcontractual requirements and community-developed policies concerning gTLDregistration data (including WHOIS) in light of the GDPR. More detail is available in the Board Resolution and the accompanying Rationale and scorecard. The Board has adopted twenty-seven of the twenty-nine recommendations in the Final Report. The Board did not adopt two of the recommendations in full, where the Board has identified that portions of those recommendations are not in the best interests of the ICANN Community or ICANN and is initiating the consultation process between the Board and the GNSO Council. This concerns recommendation #1, purpose 2 and recommendation #12, deletion of data in the Organization field. The Board is grateful for the efforts of the EPDP Team and the GNSO Council. We are aware that significant work still remains, both in the context of the implementation of these recommendations as well as phase 2, and look forward to a successful conclusion. *2- .AMAZON* In Istanbul, the Board reviewed the history of the .AMAZON applications, from the development of the Applicant Guidebook to the present state of discussions with ACTO member states and the Amazon corporation. The Board had a discussion about whether it needed any additional inputs or information prior to taking a decision on the .AMAZON applications in line with the 10 March 2019 resolution, and agreed that it would be ready to move forward to a decision on the .AMAZON applications in light of the Amazon corporation’s 17 April 2019 proposal. On 15 May 2019, the ICANN Board took action <https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2019-05-15-en#1.c> in accordance with the process established in the resolution adopted on 10 March 2019 <https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2019-03-10-en#1.a> and in recognition of all input received, directing ICANN org to continue processing the .AMAZON applications toward delegation. The Board has taken this action in accordance with the process established in the resolution adopted on 10 March 2019, and in recognition of all input received relating to the applications. The Board recognizes the need to balance the concerns of all those involved, and to act fairly and transparently. The Board is also cognizant that seven years has passed since the .AMAZON applications were originally submitted. And, since the Amazon corporation prevailed in its Independent Review Process against ICANNin July 2017, the ICANN Board and org have engaged with the Governmental Advisory Committee ( GAC), the Amazon Cooperation Treaty Organization (ACTO), and the Amazon corporation to find a mutually acceptable solution, as evidenced by the many meetings, proposals, and letters received on the topic over the past few years. The Board believed that its March 2019 resolution, allowing a further short period of time before the Board made a final decision about whether to move toward delegation of the .AMAZON applications, was appropriate and in line with requests by ACTO member states. The Board remained hopeful that additional time could lead to a mutually acceptable solution regarding those applications. However, the ACTO and the Amazon corporation were unable to come to a mutually acceptable solution or agree on an extension of time for continued discussions. The next step in the process is to publish the Public Interest Commitments (PICs), as proposed by the Amazon corporation, for a 30-day public comment period, per the established procedures of the New gTLDprogram. *3- **Consideration of GAC Advice: Kobe Communiqué* The Board passed a resolution <https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2019-05-15-en#1.a> approving a scorecard that includes the Board’s response to the GAC advice contained in the Kobe GACCommuniqué. The Board took action on all items in the Kobe Communiqué, including the items related to WHOIS and data protection legislation and the ICANN Board’s Consideration of the CCT Review Recommendations. The Board also took action on one item from the San Juan Communiqué which was previously deferred. For more details about the Board Meetings and a complete list of resolutions passed, please see the Board Page <https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/2019-board-meetings>. Preliminary Reports and Minutes of all ICANN Board Meetings are available here. The Board will hold its next workshop from June 21-23, in Marrakech, Morocco, ahead of ICANN65 <https://meetings.icann.org/en/marrakech65>. Sent from my iPhone David A.

Hi Judith and Alan, Alan, thanks for the note. Judith, the text at the bottom of the Liaison selection table states: Re-appointment TBD. Please let me know where you are seeing a deadline of today. Thanks, Heidi From: Alan Greenberg <alan.greenberg(a)mcgill.ca> Date: Friday, May 10, 2019 at 3:44 PM To: "judith(a)jhellerstein.com" <judith(a)jhellerstein.com>, Judith Hellerstein <judith(a)jhellerstein.com>, "alac(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org" <alac(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org>, ICANN Staff <staff(a)atlarge.icann.org> Subject: [Ext] Re: [ALAC] Nomination of Vanda Scartezini for GAC Liaison To be clear, all Liaisons to AC/SOs are appointed for one year terms and must be reappointed if they are to continue (or a new person selected by the ALAC). If the incumbent is willing to serve, the ALAC has the option of reappointing without issuing a call for nominations. I am not aware of Maureen having started that process this year. Normally it will begin at some point after the June meeting. Alan -- Sent from my mobile. Please excuse brevity and typos.

HIT Topics for Marrakech
by Maureen Hilyard May 9, 2019

May 9, 2019

Hi everyone Thank you all for the contributions and discussions that arose out of this request for topics for the HIT/CC sessions in Marrakech. 1. The first issue was the consolidated approach that was proposed by Keith and there were four areas that were suggested and accepted by 8 respondents initially 2. Then after Sebastian suggested DoH there were 15 respondents who agreed to include DoH adding their reasons to Sebastian's "because it is important to end-users and important to keep the Internet open to all". So from the email discussions, the suggestions are: 1. DOH 2. Future of Multistakeholder Model of Governance 3. Effectiveness of Specific Review recommendations 4. UA 5. Combined EPDP2, GDPR, Who is accuracy and Unified Access Model Something to discuss in the CPWG meeting is that if the SO-ACs decide on only 4 sessions, which one would you remove? Also we will need talking points on their final list. Maureen
