by Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond Oct. 4, 2012

Oct. 4, 2012

Dear All, I have just received this invitation. Having attended previous conferences organised by the NCUC, I can thoroughly recommend that you go, if you have the ability to arrive in time for Friday 12 October. I have registered and will pass by the conference. All details below. Kind regards, Olivier -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Invitation to At-Large / ALAC members to attend NCUC's policy conference in Toronto on Friday 12 October "Security & Freedom in a Connected World" Date: Thu, 4 Oct 2012 14:58:43 -0700 From: Robin Gross <robin(a)ipjustice.org> To: Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond <ocl(a)gih.com> CC: Brenden Kuerbis <bnkuerbi(a)syr.edu> Dear Olivier: I am writing to invite you and your At-Large / ALAC members to attend NCUC's policy conference in Toronto on Friday 12 October at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel. "ICANN & Internet Governance: Security & Freedom in a Connected World" <http://www.amiando.com/NCUC-ICANN45> < http://www.amiando.com/NCUC-ICANN45 > NCUC hopes the conference sessions will be of some interest to your members and welcomes the attendance and participation of your members at the conference next Friday. Please see the event announcement below, which I invite you to share with your members, and let me know if you have any questions about this event. Thank you very much. Best, Robin ### *Top Civil Society Leaders Converge in Toronto for /"ICANN & Internet Governance: Security and Freedom in a Connected World"/* *Cyber-Security Expert Ron Deibert and new ICANN CEO Fadi Chehade Address Non-Commercial Users Policy Conference on Eve of ICANN #45* - Public interest groups involved in ICANN will gather for the event, "ICANN & Internet Governance: Security & Freedom in a Connected World" <http://www.amiando.com/NCUC-ICANN45> on Friday 12 October at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel in Toronto, Canada. Sponsored by the Noncommercial Users Constituency (NCUC), the voice of civil society in ICANN, the policy conference will focus on key ICANN policy issues like the need to promote both cyber-security and human rights in the development of global Internet policies. The event kicks-off with a morning address from cyber-security expert Ron Deibert, Director of the Canada Centre for Global Security Studies and The Citizen Lab, an inter-disciplinary research and development hothouse at the University of Toronto. Deibert will address the need to establish a cyber-security strategy for global civil society. "Cyberspace is at a watershed moment. Global civil society, now increasingly recognised as an important stakeholder in cyberspace governance, needs to step up to the challenge," said Deibert. "What is required is nothing less than a serious and comprehensive security strategy for cyberspace that addresses the very real threats that plague governments and corporations, addresses national and other security concerns in a forthright manner, while protecting and preserving open networks of information and communication." The afternoon sessions begin with welcoming remarks from Fadi Chehade, ICANN's new Chief Executive Officer, a Lebanese-Egyptian IT entrepreneur, who took the helm of ICANN last month and pronounced he was committed to strengthening the multi-stakeholder process of Internet governance. Additional speakers at NCUC's policy conference include Fiona Alexander from the U.S. Commerce Department and other governmental representatives. The all-day event's four panel sessions include participation from ICANN board members and senior staff, civil society and Internet business leaders. The conference will explore a broad range of ICANN policy issues including privacy concerns related to the whois policy that requires the publication of registrants' personal data and discussion of ongoing negotiations with law enforcement agencies regarding a related policy that privacy authorities have called "unlawful". The geopolitical landscape of Internet governance models and the shifting role of stakeholders will be addressed by experts from around the world. NCUC's conference will also explore policy issues related to controversial new domain names such as protection for freedom of expression in the face of cultural differences and sensitivities. Concerns about intellectual property rights and new top-level domain names remains an area under rapid development and will be ripe for discussion as well as activities related to extra-territorial domain name seizures. Including human rights principles in ICANN policy development will be considered, in addition to ways civil society can become involved in the development of ICANN policies, which impact Internet users worldwide. NCUC represents more than 250 noncommercial organizations and individuals from around the world on ICANN policy matters and was formed in 1999 in Berlin at one of ICANN's earliest meetings. Currently NCUC represents a wide range of non-commercial interests in ICANN policy development including universities and educational institutions, human rights organizations, development, promotion of the arts, children's welfare, scientific research, community networking, and many other non-commercial interests. NCUC participates at ICANN as a constituency within the Non-Commercial Stakeholder Group (NCSG) and the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO), which makes ICANN policy recommendations and selects board members. "The conference subtitle recognizes our shared twin goals of security and freedom, and questions to what extent must we sacrifice one for the other," said meeting organizer Robin Gross of NCUC and IP Justice, a civil liberties organization based in San Francisco. The constituency's 2012 Toronto conference builds on the policy conference NCUC held in 2011 in which craigslist.org founder Craig Newmark addressed the ICANN community in San Francisco. The 2012 conference concludes with an evening reception at the historic Fairmont Royal York overlooking the beautiful Canadian waterfront. The event is free to attend and open the public, but advance registration is required because space is limited. NCUC's conference is held with support from the Brazilian Internet Steering Registry CGI.br, the Public Interest Registry (PIR), and ICANN. Civil Society event partners include The Citizen Lab, the Association for Progressive Communications (APC) and the Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic (CIPPIC) based at the University of Ottawa. Conference sessions will be audiocast live and archived for later downloading, and remote participation will be available from the event's website via Adobe Connect for those not able to travel to Toronto on 12 October.

Fwd: [At-Large] Alternate Model Trademark Clearinghouse Call on October 9th, 9 am Eastern US Time

FYI -- thanking Jeff for forwarding this to us. You are encouraged to attend this call. Warmest regards, Olivier -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [At-Large] Alternate Model Trademark Clearinghouse Call on October 9th, 9 am Eastern US Time Date: Wed, 3 Oct 2012 15:40:47 -0400 From: Neuman, Jeff <Jeff.Neuman(a)neustar.us> Reply-To: At-Large Worldwide <at-large(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org> To: At-Large Worldwide <at-large(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org> CC: wshorter(a)verisign.com <wshorter(a)verisign.com>, Jeff Eckhaus (eckhaus(a)demandmedia.com) <eckhaus(a)demandmedia.com>, Chris Wright <chris(a)ausregistry.com.au> All, As most of you are aware, ICANN posted its proposed implementation model of the TMCH earlier this year, with the most recent drafts posted on September 24, 2012 (http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-7-24sep12-en.htm) For a number of months, several registries and registrars have been working on an alternate mechanism for implementing the Trademark Clearinghouse at least with respect to how the Clearinghouse interacts with the gTLD Registries and Registrars. A paper discussing the issues presented by the proposed ICANN implementation model along with our proposed alternate Sunrise and Trademark Claims models has now been posted by ICANN at: http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/about/trademark-clearinghouse/sunrise-model-26… http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/about/trademark-clearinghouse/claims-model-26s… http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/about/trademark-clearinghouse/model-issues-26s… ICANN has graciously volunteered its resources to host a call on October 9th at 9am Eastern US time for the authors of the alternate models to discuss our models and rationale. We wanted to make sure that you all were aware of the call as well. This call will be good preparation for the meeting in a couple of weeks in Toronto. I hope that ICANN will send out a more formal announcement about the call. But just in case they do not, here is the call-in information that ICANN has given me.

Board solicitation of input on how it should receive input and advice
by Alan Greenberg Oct. 3, 2012

Oct. 3, 2012

I call your attention to a recently opened Public Comment in which the ICANN Board solicits input on how it should receive input and advice in making its decisions. I have been asked by Olivier to lead the development of an ALAC contribution, supported by Cheryl. The public comment description can be found at http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/input-advice-function-24sep12-e…. Input should preferably be made to the At-Large Wiki at https://community.icann.org/x/K5AoAg. If anyone cannot cannot access the Wiki to submit comments, please submit your comments to this list WITH AN EXPLICIT REQUEST TO POST TO THE WIKI at the start of the message. The comment period ends shortly after the ICANN meeting. I normally have abundant time to work on such statement en route to ICANN meetings, but in this case my flight time is under an hour, so my work-methods must change. PLEASE your thoughts by the end of the day (wherever you are) next Tuesday, October 9th. Hopefully draft will be prepared for discussion and then decision during the ICANN week. Alan

Re: [ALAC] Fwd: Draft Motion and Updated Final Issue Report on the Protection of the Names of International Organizations in New GTLDs

See my comments below. Alan At 02/10/2012 06:17 PM, Salanieta T.

Although a letter is fine if the ALAC wishes, I do not believe that there is any substantive benefit from doing so. The ALAC is already on record as supporting a PDP. Moreover, although I have been surprised in the past, I cannot see the GNSO not initiating a PDP as a result of this Issue Report. It is rare (perhaps never) that the GNSO has not initiated a PDP when the staff recommendation is to do so. Moreover, the threshold is quite low and it would take close to a supermajority of the Council to reject a PDP. Regarding "Splitting the PDP" could you please be more specific on what part(s) you want split out and why? Regardless, I find it hard to imagine that the Council would initiate two parallel PDPs on related subjects. >If there is consensus to add other things, then so be it.

For the Board to reject a PDP outcome that has been approved by a supermajority of the GNSO Council (typical in that once the recommendations make their way through the diffcult WG process, they are not likely to be vetoed by Council, even if one SG is totally against the outcomes), it takes a supermajority of the Board to reject it. Certainly possible if the Board as a whole feels that the outcome would be bad for ICANN, but I do not believe that it has ever happened. >Kind Regards, >Sala > >On Wed, Oct 3, 2012 at 10:02 AM, Alan Greenberg ><<mailto:alan.greenberg@mcgill.ca>alan.greenberg(a)mcgill.ca> wrote: >Before we decide on the mechanism, perhaps we should decide on WHAT >it is we want to say. > >Alan > > >At 02/10/2012 04:57 PM, Salanieta T.

I can speak. No guarantee anyone takes my sage advice to heart. Occasionally they do. If it is something that is deemed to be of importance, then we should be doing prior one-on-one talking to get support and gauge what other opinions are. Draft motion just came out and I have no sense of others' thoughts on it.
