FYI [image: ICANN Announcement Alerts] *IANA Naming Function Review Team Completes Rules of Engagement, Scope of Work, and Work Plan <https://newsalerts.icann.org/HC002020NgJ8mE00P1R00Yd>* 31 March 2020 LOS ANGELES – 31 March 2020 – Today, the IANA Naming Function Review Team (IFRT) has announced that it has completed the Rules of Engagement <https://newsalerts.icann.org/f00md0P08Z001R22CNEKg00>, Scope of Work <https://newsalerts.icann.org/O0n0g02E0200NCP00M0d18R>, and Work Plan <https://newsalerts.icann.org/DC1000N0ER800n01PN2g0d2> for the IANA Naming Function Review <https://newsalerts.icann.org/I0102C80P0gONd220n0RE00> (IFR). The IFR is one of the new accountability mechanisms created as part of the IANA stewardship transition to ensure that ICANN via its affiliate Public Technical Identifiers (PTI) meets the needs and expectations of its naming customers. The IFRT will conduct the review in accordance with the scope specified in Article 18 <https://newsalerts.icann.org/NR003C2d0001gnE0PN0082P> of the ICANN Bylaws, which centers around a review and evaluation of PTI's performance of the IANA naming function against the contractual requirements in the IANA Naming Function Contract <https://newsalerts.icann.org/kC0QP0N00ng02Rd2810400E> and the IANA Naming Function SOW <https://newsalerts.icann.org/WC01RNR0P052Edg00208n00>. What are the next steps for the review team? The review team has determined an initial methodology for conducting detailed fact-finding. An outreach plan to get input from the direct customers of the IANA Naming Function Process, as well as the broader ICANN community, is under development. How can people get involved in the IANA Naming Function Review? Visit the IFR workspace <https://newsalerts.icann.org/I0102C80P0gONd220n0RE00> the latest news, updates, and participation opportunities.

Fwd: Read the SubPro PDP Newsletter - March 2020 Edition
by Maureen Hilyard March 30, 2020

March 30, 2020

FYI The latest edition is now available. New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP March 2020 Newsletter CURRENT STATUS In March, the Working Group focused on reviewing draft final recommendations <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012o43qFtByCzXTlyp2V1JdJzK09-9R4y1oPVvCuXRIhAa…>** on a topic-by-topic basis. The meetings in March focused on recommendations for the following topics: - 2 March <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012o43qFtByCzXTlyp2V1JdJzK09-9R4y1oPVvCuXRIhAa…>: Registrant Protections, Registrar Non-Discrimination / Registry/Registrar Standardization, Registrar Support for New gTLDs - 5 March <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012o43qFtByCzXTlyp2V1JdJzK09-9R4y1oPVvCuXRIhAa…>: TLD Rollout, Contractual Compliance - 16 March <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012o43qFtByCzXTlyp2V1JdJzK09-9R4y1oPVvCuXRIhAa…>: Community Applications - 19 March <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012o43qFtByCzXTlyp2V1JdJzK09-9R4y1oPVvCuXRIhAa…>: Community Applications, Public Interest Commitments/Registry Voluntary Commitments - 23 March <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012o43qFtByCzXTlyp2V1JdJzK09-9R4y1oPVvCuXRIhAa…>: Role of GAC Consensus Advice & GAC Early Warning - 26 March <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012o43qFtByCzXTlyp2V1JdJzK09-9R4y1oPVvCuXRIhAa…>: Applicant Support - 30 March <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012o43qFtByCzXTlyp2V1JdJzK09-9R4y1oPVvCuXRIhAa…>: String Similarity The Working Group held three sessions as part of the ICANN67 Virtual Community Forum <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012o43qFtByCzXTlyp2V1JdJzK09-9R4y1oPVvCuXRIhAa…> and focused these sessions on topics that are of particular interest to Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) members. In doing so, the Working Group sought to take advantage of the GAC’s focus on new gTLDs at ICANN67 and its encouragement of GAC member participation throughout the meetings. In the first session <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012o43qFtByCzXTlyp2V1JdJzK09-9R4y1oPVvCuXRIhAa…> on 9 March <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012o43qFtByCzXTlyp2V1JdJzK09-9R4y1oPVvCuXRIhAa…>, the Working Group focused on the topic of closed generic top-level domains (TLDs), and specifically discussed different perspectives on whether the Working Group should recommend allowing, limiting, or prohibiting these TLDs in subsequent application rounds. The second session <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012o43qFtByCzXTlyp2V1JdJzK09-9R4y1oPVvCuXRIhAa…> on 10 March <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012o43qFtByCzXTlyp2V1JdJzK09-9R4y1oPVvCuXRIhAa…> was devoted to the topic of the Global Public Interest, including Mandatory Public Interest Commitments (PICs), Voluntary Public Interest Commitments (which the Working Group is tentatively calling Registry Voluntary Commitments, or RVCs, for the purposes of subsequent procedures), DNS abuse, and Verified TLDs. In the third session <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012o43qFtByCzXTlyp2V1JdJzK09-9R4y1oPVvCuXRIhAa…> on 12 March <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012o43qFtByCzXTlyp2V1JdJzK09-9R4y1oPVvCuXRIhAa…>, the Working Group discussed possible draft recommendations on GAC Consensus Advice and GAC Early Warning and considered potential improvements to the Applicant Support Program. ** Note that draft recommendations for a subset of the topics (Closed Generics, Public Interest Commitments/Registry Voluntary Commitments, GAC Consensus Advice and GAC Early Warning, Applicant Support, and Community Applications) are currently included in a separate document <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012o43qFtByCzXTlyp2V1JdJzK09-9R4y1oPVvCuXRIhAa…> . NEXT STEPS The Working Group will continue to develop draft final recommendations taking into consideration the Working Group’s review of its summary documents and any additional deliberations that have taken place. For the schedule of topics that will be covered in April, please see the Working Group’s wiki <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012o43qFtByCzXTlyp2V1JdJzK09-9R4y1oPVvCuXRIhAa…> . 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=0012o43qFtByCzXTlyp2V1JdJzK09-9R4y1oPVvCuXRIhAa…> 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=0012o43qFtByCzXTlyp2V1JdJzK09-9R4y1oPVvCuXRIhAa…>, the GNSO Council adopted the charter <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012o43qFtByCzXTlyp2V1JdJzK09-9R4y1oPVvCuXRIhAa…> for the PDP Working Group, which began its work in February 2016. The Working Group initially concentrated on a set of overarching issues. It later conducted 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. 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.

Re: [ALAC] At-Large and COVID-19

? Thanks Maureen, makes sense for sure, Hadia ________________________________ From: ALAC <alac-bounces(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org> on behalf of Maureen Hilyard <maureen.hilyard(a)gmail.com> Sent: 25 March 2020 01:04 To: ALAC Subject: [ALAC] At-Large and COVID-19 Dear All, The world is experiencing an unprecedented situation in which many citizens are working from home to prevent the further spread of the COVID-19 virus. This will necessarily impact some volunteers more than others given work, home-schooling and childcare pressures. At the same time, the work of At-Large will need to continue. In order to address these challenges, I would like to suggest that we develop a list of priorities that will ensure a global strategy as we move forward over the next several months. A draft list is available at: https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+Priority+Activities+-+… . I welcome your comments. I am also asking the Chairs of At-Large WGs and the RALOs to review this list of priorities with their members during the next week or two. RALOs to As a community, we will need to work smarter rather than harder. Prioritization is a key step in ensuring that At-Large can continue to carry out its work in support of the best interests of the individual Internet user. Kind regards, Maureen

[image: ICANN Announcement Alerts] *Invitation to Join Strategic Outlook Trends Identification Session <https://newsalerts.icann.org/T7NCm0g010008Rm20P02dE0>* 24 March 2020 LOS ANGELES – 23 March 2020 – The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) invites the community to participate in an open strategic outlook trends session to help ICANN continue to be aware of trends that affect its mission and mandate. With the rapid evolution of the Internet and variety of influencing factors, trends can change rapidly and in unexpected ways. The purpose of these open sessions is to build on past trend identification work in order to update our shared understanding of opportunities and challenges relevant to ICANN's current and future strategy. In order to support broad community input, ICANN will hold two remote sessions in addition to stakeholder group-specific sessions. (Check with your community group for date and time of your stakeholder group-specific session.) Join this important discussion, all are welcome! Please note that participation will be *limited to 40 participants* per session, *on a first come, first serve basis* due to the breakout format. Sessions will be held in English. Learn more about the remote sessions in this briefing paper <https://newsalerts.icann.org/gn080NP02201RE0dC0008mg> [PDF, 172 KB]. Open Session #1 Link <https://newsalerts.icann.org/V8R9000dm10E200CP02goN0>: 30 March 2020, 15:00 – 16:30 UTC Open Session #2 Link <https://newsalerts.icann.org/V8R9000dm10E200CP02goN0>: 30 March 2020, 23:00 – 00:30 UTC Background The Strategic Outlook Program <https://newsalerts.icann.org/hPg1p0R00C0002dmN020Ea8> is a joint effort between the ICANN organization, the community and the Board. New trends or shifts in existing trends impacting the operating plans (five-year or annual), and/or budget, will be factored into the annual iteration of those plans as appropriate. Significant shifts could also result in adjustments to the strategic plan. About ICANN ICANN's mission is to help ensure a stable, secure, and unified global Internet. To reach another person on the Internet, you need to type an address – a name or number – into your computer or other device. That address must 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 with a community of participants from all over the world.
