Re: [ALAC] 2020-2021 ALT Call for Nominations
by Alan Greenberg Oct. 5, 2020

Oct. 5, 2020

Note that the ALAC RoP 16.3 calls for unopposed accepted nominations to be acclaimed without any additional action of the ALAC (this applies to all ALAC selections, not just the ALT). On the substance of this thread, I do have a few comments based on my experience both on the ALT before I was Chair and for my time as Chair. Identifying ALT members is an interesting challenge. The positions do require a significant commitment over that of a regular ALAC Member, the Vice-Chairs even more. Experience can be valuable, as is a fresh perspective. Moreover, optimally, you want a set of people with complimentary skills, and a group that will work well together (that does not necessarily mean agree with each other!) Sometimes there are three great candidates from a region - all willing to take on the load. Other times, none of the people from a region really feel comfortable taking it on.

Fwd: [ICANN Community Leaders] 5 October 2020

Monday, 5 October 2020 ICANN Community Leadership Digest The ICANN org Policy Development Support function publishes this twice-weekly digest to help ICANN community leaders track requests and follow updates. Table of Contents ICANN69 Resources - Registration - Prep Week Schedule - Virtual Backgrounds Information Sharing - DUE TODAY: Interaction with the ICANN Board during ICANN69 - THIS WEEK: ICANN69 Prep Week Schedule Now Available - NEW: Information Transparency Initiative Update: New Content Available on Preview for Your Feedback - NEW: Making ICANN Public Meetings Work for You - NEW: ICANN 2020 Nominating Committee Announces Leadership Selections - REMINDER: Nominations for NextGen Selection Committee and Mentor Positions Now Open Public Comment - Proposed Amendment 1 to the .JOBS Registry Agreement - Reference Label Generation Rulesets (LGRs) for the Second Level ICANN69 Resources <#m_3705497498950226033_> Registration <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001dU4xDp8u5KDJkhAjoqxYXav3CzrH4msd-GDv6sqNs-tK…> Prep Week Schedule <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001dU4xDp8u5KDJkhAjoqxYXav3CzrH4msd-GDv6sqNs-tK…> Virtual Backgrounds <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001dU4xDp8u5KDJkhAjoqxYXav3CzrH4msd-GDv6sqNs-tK…> Information Sharing DUE TODAY: Interaction with the ICANN Board during ICANN69 From: Maarten Botterman, ICANN Board Chair Dear ICANN Community Group Chairs, Please reply no later than Monday, 5 October 2020. While 2020 has proven challenging and likely very different from what we were all expecting when we last saw each other almost a year ago in Montréal, the Board and I keep being impressed and grateful for your continued dedication to ICANN’s mission. The Board still values its dialogue with your groups and is very much looking forward to engaging with you during our 22nd and first ever virtual Annual General Meeting that will take place between 13-22 October 2020. As you keep working on the format for ICANN69, we would like to start preparing for community dialogue with the Board. As per what we did in Montréal and virtually for ICANN67, instead of sending up to three questions to the Board, we would like to offer you the alternative option of choosing a single topic and having an open discussion with the Board on that topic. We will also publish the list of questions or topics received using this digest as a successful tool for improving transparency and allowing other groups to deepen their own understanding of their peers’ point of view on different issues. As for time allocation, per what we did previously, we propose to allocate half of our time together to answer your questions or discuss your single topic and the other half to address the Board’s topic. In preparation for our meetings, the Board has chosen the following topic to have an open discussion with you: - Enhancing the effectiveness of the multistakeholder model - key issues and opportunities for acceleration. In your preparation, you may want to consider the results of the most recent public consultation and the work that has progressed with dependencies to enhancing the effectiveness of the multistakeholder model, such as the Accountability and Transparency Review Team (ATRT3) Final Report and work on prioritization and budgeting). We would be very grateful if you could send to Board Operations, board-ops-team(a)icann.org <#m_3705497498950226033_>, your single topic or list of questions, in order of priority, no later than Monday, 5 October 2020 or sooner. For your information, we are not changing the current total time allotted per group. We look forward to hearing your thoughts, questions or topics of interest and to exchange with you constructively and virtually. Best regards, Maarten Botterman ICANN Board Chair THIS WEEK: ICANN69 Prep Week ICANN org recently announced <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001dU4xDp8u5KDJkhAjoqxYXav3CzrH4msd-GDv6sqNs-tK…> the ICANN69 Prep Week schedule.

ICANN org is sending a survey to our Supporting Organization (SO) and Advisory Committee (AC) chairs to spark a discussion within each group, as this discussion belongs to the community. The chairs will then coordinate and consolidate their respective group’s feedback. The Board will also host a session at ICANN69 to continue the conversation with the community about our meeting strategy. The survey will serve as a guidepost for those discussions.

Fwd: [soac-chairs] Draft Operational Design Phase for gTLD Policy Implementation: For Initial Feedback.
by Maureen Hilyard Oct. 5, 2020

Oct. 5, 2020

Attached is a document that details Org's draft Operational Design Phase for gTLD policy implementation. It was raised at our last SOAC Leadership Team meeting and is ready for some feedback. M ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Goran Marby <goran.marby(a)icann.org> Date: Fri, Oct 2, 2020 at 12:19 PM Subject: [soac-chairs] Draft Operational Design Phase for gTLD Policy Implementation: For Initial Feedback. To: soac-chairs(a)icann.org <soac-chairs(a)icann.org> Cc: Goran Marby <goran.marby(a)icann.org>, David Olive <david.olive(a)icann.org>, Cassia Oliveira <cassia.oliveira(a)icann.org> Cassia Oliveira on behalf of Goran Marby Dear SOAC leaders, Thank you again for taking the time to meet with Maarten and me last week. I am writing to follow up on one of ICANN org’s action items from that call, which was for me to finalize and circulate to you a proposal for a new Operational Design Phase relating to the implementation of approved gTLD policies. As we discussed, the objective for an additional design phase is to allow the Board to obtain relevant information about any operational and resourcing issues associated with certain policy implementation efforts. Accordingly, the Operational Design Phase is envisioned to take place prior to Board action on GNSO-approved policy recommendations, initiated through a Board request to ICANN org. Our expectation is that an Operational Design Phase will likely only be needed for complex, costly or other large-scale implementation efforts. I appreciate the thoughtful and substantive discussion we had on this topic during our call. While gTLD policy development work is managed by the GNSO, the other Supporting Organizations and the Advisory Committees play important roles in ensuring that ICANN consensus policies are developed through community consensus and are appropriately resourced. Thank you for the comments and suggestions you made on the call, which we have tried to address as much as possible in this initial draft paper. Please circulate the paper to your community groups for their review and further discussion. As I mentioned on our call, ICANN org will continue to refine the paper and welcome your feedback as part of this iterative process. After ICANN69, we plan to conduct a fuller community consultation on the gTLD policy lifecycle, to include an updated version of this paper and to gather community feedback on any updates we can make to improve the efficacy and efficiency of the policy making process.

DUE MONDAY: Interaction with the ICANN Board during ICANN69 From: Maarten Botterman, ICANN Board Chair Dear ICANN Community Group Chairs, Please reply no later than Monday, 5 October 2020. While 2020 has proven challenging and likely very different from what we were all expecting when we last saw each other almost a year ago in Montréal, the Board and I keep being impressed and grateful for your continued dedication to ICANN’s mission. The Board still values its dialogue with your groups and is very much looking forward to engaging with you during our 22nd and first ever virtual Annual General Meeting that will take place between 13-22 October 2020. As you keep working on the format for ICANN69, we would like to start preparing for community dialogue with the Board. As per what we did in Montréal and virtually for ICANN67, instead of sending up to three questions to the Board, we would like to offer you the alternative option of choosing a single topic and having an open discussion with the Board on that topic. We will also publish the list of questions or topics received using this digest as a successful tool for improving transparency and allowing other groups to deepen their own understanding of their peers’ point of view on different issues. As for time allocation, per what we did previously, we propose to allocate half of our time together to answer your questions or discuss your single topic and the other half to address the Board’s topic. In preparation for our meetings, the Board has chosen the following topic to have an open discussion with you: - Enhancing the effectiveness of the multistakeholder model - key issues and opportunities for acceleration. In your preparation, you may want to consider the results of the most recent public consultation and the work that has progressed with dependencies to enhancing the effectiveness of the multistakeholder model, such as the Accountability and Transparency Review Team (ATRT3) Final Report and work on prioritization and budgeting). We would be very grateful if you could send to Board Operations, board-ops-team(a)icann.org <#m_-5933136900160758446_>, your single topic or list of questions, in order of priority, no later than Monday, 5 October 2020 or sooner. For your information, we are not changing the current total time allotted per group. We look forward to hearing your thoughts, questions or topics of interest and to exchange with you constructively and virtually.

Fwd: Read the SubPro PDP Newsletter - September 2020 Edition
by Maureen Hilyard Oct. 1, 2020

Oct. 1, 2020

The latest edition is now available. New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP September 2020 Newsletter CURRENT STATUS The public comment <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001kX277ITszn29XBI-QikDTInb2lTZNjbSKjN_rO4NKasd…> period on the Working Group’s draft Final Report <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001kX277ITszn29XBI-QikDTInb2lTZNjbSKjN_rO4NKasd…> closed on 30 September 2020. As of the closure date, more than 50 comments were received. ICANN org policy support staff is in the process of compiling the comments to be displayed in a transparent and usable manner. Comments will also be made available for download by anyone interested in reviewing them. On 14 September, the Working Group Co-Chairs held a webinar for the community in which they presented on a selection of the topics within the draft report, answered questions, and provided context where it was needed. The recording, transcript, and slides from the webinar are available here <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001kX277ITszn29XBI-QikDTInb2lTZNjbSKjN_rO4NKasd…> . During the public comment period, the Working Group met weekly to discuss several topics: - 10 September <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001kX277ITszn29XBI-QikDTInb2lTZNjbSKjN_rO4NKasd…>: In-depth discussion of Closed Generics proposals put forward by Working Group members. - 17 September <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001kX277ITszn29XBI-QikDTInb2lTZNjbSKjN_rO4NKasd…>: CPE Guidelines and WG Recommendations / Implementation Guidance regarding Community Applications. - 24 September <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001kX277ITszn29XBI-QikDTInb2lTZNjbSKjN_rO4NKasd…>: Continued discussion of CPE Guidelines and WG Recommendations / Implementation Guidance regarding Community Applications. NEXT STEPS With the closure of the public comment period, the Working Group will begin reviewing and analyzing the input received through public comment with the objective of finalizing its recommendations and Final Report. The Working Group will hold two working sessions as part of the ICANN69 agenda. These sessions will take place on Wednesday 14 October from 12:00-13:30 UTC and 14:00-15:00 UTC. The working group will use the sessions at ICANN69 to begin reviewing public comments received on the draft Final Report and determining whether changes may be needed for the Final Report. Following ICANN69, the Working Group will resume a biweekly meeting schedule. WHAT IS THIS ABOUT? In June 2014, the GNSO Council established a Discussion Group that was intended to evaluate the experiences of the 2012 round gTLD Program and to identify possible areas for future GNSO policy development. The Discussion Group’s deliverables <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001kX277ITszn29XBI-QikDTInb2lTZNjbSKjN_rO4NKasd…> served as the basis for the GNSO Council request for a Preliminary Issue Report in June of 2015. Following the publication of the Final Issue Report <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001kX277ITszn29XBI-QikDTInb2lTZNjbSKjN_rO4NKasd…>, the GNSO Council adopted the charter <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001kX277ITszn29XBI-QikDTInb2lTZNjbSKjN_rO4NKasd…> for the PDP Working Group, which began its work in February 2016. The Working Group first concentrated on a set of overarching issues. It then conducted initial deliberations on additional topics in its charter using five separate Work Tracks: Work Track 1 - Overall Process/Support/Outreach, Work Track 2 - Legal/Regulatory, Work Track 3: String Contention/Objections & Disputes, Work Track 4: Internationalized Domain Names/Technical & Operations, Work Track 5: Geographic Names at the Top Level. Following the publication of the Initial Report <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001kX277ITszn29XBI-QikDTInb2lTZNjbSKjN_rO4NKasd…> and Supplemental Initial Report <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001kX277ITszn29XBI-QikDTInb2lTZNjbSKjN_rO4NKasd…>, the Working Group worked at the plenary level to analyze and incorporate input received through public comment and refine draft outputs. WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT? The Discussion Group identified a number of subjects that may require further analysis and possible formulation of policy language. There are existing policy recommendations adopted by the GNSO Council and ICANN Board, which will remain in place unless the PDP WG determines that changes are needed.
