Re: [ALAC] [SOAC-Leaders-ICANNMeeting-Planning] ICANN69 Topic Proposal: The Domain Name Services Marketplace
by Hadia Abdelsalam Mokhtar EL miniawi Aug. 12, 2020

Aug. 12, 2020

Hi Jonathan, Indeed both topics are very much needed Hadia ________________________________ From: ALAC <alac-bounces(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org> on behalf of Jonathan Zuck <JZuck(a)innovatorsnetwork.org> Sent: 11 August 2020 07:52 To: Maureen Hilyard; ALAC; Joanna Kulesza Subject: Re: [ALAC] [SOAC-Leaders-ICANNMeeting-Planning] ICANN69 Topic Proposal: The Domain Name Services Marketplace Consumer Protection Post EPDP In this session, we’ll explore how things have changed since ICANN’s implementation of the Temporary Specification to comply with the GDPR. We’ll hear from Consumer Protection Professionals, Cybersecurity Researchers and Corporate Fraud Prevention Experts on how the massive changes to WHOIS have impacted their work and their ability to get the necessary data from contracted parties or find alternatives. We will also invite speakers from the Registrar community to share their experiences with data requests during that same time. Is the volume overwhelming, are the requests poorly scoped? How does the this small slice of consumer protection look going forward? Recommendation Trepidation The community is now looking at literally hundreds of recommendations that have been made by various WGs and RTs. What does that landscape look like and how do we resolve conflicts and prioritize the rest? We’ll have representatives from the board, ATRT3 and some of the WGs and RTs that made these recommendations to begin to look at the state of “reform” inside ICANN, post the recommendations of ATRT3 Helpful?

M ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Tanzanica S. King <tanzanica.king(a)icann.org<mailto:tanzanica.king@icann.org>> Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2020, 1:08 pm Subject: [SOAC-Leaders-ICANNMeeting-Planning] ICANN69 Topic Proposal: The Domain Name Services Marketplace To: SOAC-Leaders-ICANNMeeting-Planning <soac-leaders-icannmeeting-planning(a)icann.org<mailto:soac-leaders-icannmeeting-planning@icann.org>> Dear Community Leaders: Please see the first plenary session topic proposed for ICANN69 below. As a reminder, please submit topic proposals via the ICANN69 Plenary Topic Proposal Form [icann.wufoo.com]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/icann.wufoo.com/forms/plenary-session-to…> by Thursday, 13 August @ 7:00 UTC for discussion during the planning call this week. Best, Tanzanica Plenary Session Topic Proposal Form (69) Group/Affiliation * GNSO RySG Contact Name * Jonathan Robinson<mailto:jrobinson@afilias.info> Proposed Session Title * The Domain Name Services Marketplace (Market dynamics, business models and commercial drivers) Brief Description (max 250 words) * An education, outreach and engagement session from the ICANN Contracted Parties (Registries && Registrars). The session aims to improving broader community understanding of the key dynamics of the industry sector on which the finances of ICANN and the ICANN community are based. Generic Top Level Domain Registries and Registrars occupy a unique position within the ICANN community in that they are directly contracted with ICANN. Moreover, ICANN's current funding model depends on the commercial success these domain name businesses. This session will provide insights into the current marketplace for domain names and related services as well as the dynamics driving change within that market place. Second, it will provide insight into the various business models of service providers within the marketplace and the key drivers of these business models. Third, it will create the opportunity for questions, answers and discussions around key business and economic aspects of the businesses and how these may need to be considered within the broader ICANN Community and policy making functions. In addition to the development of the market, topics such as the secondary market for domain names, approaches to abuse and issues with resellers will be covered by Registrars. From Registries, consideration will be given to the different approaches generic (open) TLDs, brand TLDs and geographic TLDs, as well as key contractual requirements. This session was originally proposed and accepted for ICANN 67 Rationale/Desired Outcomes * A recent session targeted at ensuring that ICANN Board members have a robust understanding of the variety of Registrar and Registry approaches to the marketplace was very well-received. Following on from the session with the ICANN Board it was proposed that a similar, expanded and interactive session with the broader community could provide good value to all. Policy making that is well-informed by fact is clearly optimal. Such policy making includes having the best access to all data including an understanding of the commercial drivers of the protagonists. The domain name services sector has seen far reaching changes take place over a number of years including the development of a range a diversity of business models within both Registry and Registrar business. Extensive competition has developed in some areas and substantial consolidation and corporate transactions continue to take place. The broader ICANN community will benefit from an understanding of the key marketplace drivers and dynamics when considering all future policy, including high-profile current issues such as future rounds of new gTLDs. Session Format * Given the outreach and informative nature of the session, it is expected that it will be biased towards presentation of material. But, additional emphasis will be placed on question, answer and discussion. Further, organisers will be receptive to any other techniques to drive levels of interactivity. Session Leaders/Facilitators * To be confirmed Community Interest * Broad. As above, the business and commercial drivers of the registry and registrar businesses underpin their own finances as well as those of the ICANN Organisation as a whole. This is a crucial pillar of understanding for the broad community and so interest is expected to be high and broad. Error!

News from Lacralo
by Sergio Salinas Porto Aug. 4, 2020

Aug. 4, 2020

Dear friends, I am sending this email to inform you that we have happily advanced in LACRALO in our internal laws, the New Rules of Procedure have been approved, this is another great step forward than taking the region. Now it remains to resolve the adaptability of our metric rules to the new laws already approved. I must congratulate here all those who got involved in the LACRALO Governance Working Group. as well as David Plumb who helped us to resolve the internal conflicts of LACRALO in a first stage (these are already part of the history) and in this new stage to be able to reach deep subregional agreements. Now is the time to delve further into the Working Group participation model, involving the community more strongly in ICANN policy issues from the perspective of LAC internet users. Today several groups are in action: Governance, Communication, IDN (who is the one that carries out the activities of Universal Acceptance), LACRALO WG Domains and their relationship with Users (who have taken up the issue of DNS Abuse). We hope shortly to have other working groups that can draw the attention of our colleagues in the region and put some ALSs (which have been dormant for a long time) into action! I send you happy for this news a big hug from Argentina!

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=0013q-nnMjFJRAFa6d-fX9N9A7NBPudka1I0wBjryCXTvxJ…> 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=0013q-nnMjFJRAFa6d-fX9N9A7NBPudka1I0wBjryCXTvxJ…>, the GNSO Council adopted the charter <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0013q-nnMjFJRAFa6d-fX9N9A7NBPudka1I0wBjryCXTvxJ…> 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.

Fwd: call for volunteers: ccPDP4 on the (de)selection of IDN ccTLD strings
by Maureen Hilyard July 30, 2020

July 30, 2020

Hi everyone Please see the request below from the ccNSO. They are seeking volunteers from within At-Large to represent the ALAC on a working group to look at an alternative to the current IDN Fast Track Process. More information is provided below, but it would be helpful if you have some background in this regard or are prepared to do the required reading to get up to speed so that you are better able to participate effectively in this activity on behalf of the ALAC. If anyone is interested, please let me know before 28 July so that the ALAC can endorse and send the names of our representatives to the ccNSO before their closing date of 7 August. Regards Maureen ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Joke Braeken <joke.braeken(a)icann.org> Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2020, 12:33 am Subject: call for volunteers: ccPDP4 on the (de)selection of IDN ccTLD strings To: Maureen Hilyard <maureen.hilyard(a)gmail.com> Cc: ICANN At-Large Staff <staff(a)atlarge.icann.org>, ccNSO Secretariat < ccnsosecretariat(a)icann.org> Dear Maureen, All, The ccNSO seeks volunteers for the Working Group which is tasked to develop policy recommendations for the (de)selection of IDN ccTLD strings, as part of the fourth ccNSO Policy Development Process (ccPDP4). In time, the results of this ccPDP will replace the IDN ccTLD Fast Track Process, which currently guides the selection process of IDN ccTLD strings. This Working Group is open to participants from other ICANN stakeholder groups and the ccNSO welcomes ALAC representatives to join this important policy development effort. The call for volunteers will close Friday, 7 August 2020 (23:59 UTC), however participants can join after this date as well. The Group is expected to kick off its work at the start of September. Members, participants, and experts commit to participate actively and regularly in the work of the WG and are expected to have at least a basic understanding of the reference material (see attachment and included below). Those that apply also commit to the charter <https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/138969190/Draft%20Charter%…> of the WG, including but not limited to the internal decision making and standards of behavior. Should there be interested parties that intend to join as a participants - once your respective SO/AC has completed its internal appoint procedure - please inform the ccNSO Secretariat (ccnsosecretariat(a)icann.org) about the names and email addresses, to add them to the mailing list. *Read more* - Detailed background information about ccPDP4 is included below. - Recently, the ccNSO Secretariat held a webinar to inform the community about the topics to be addressed and the working methods of the ccPDP4 WG. Consult the recording and slide deck here <https://community.icann.org/x/H4VIC>. - On 16 July, the ccNSO Secretariat shared a call for volunteers with the ccNSO membership and broader ccTLD community, targeted at ccTLD managers as potential members of the Working Group. Please find the call for volunteers here <https://ccnso.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-16jul20-en.htm>. You may find the information regarding who can join, the workload and working method and the background and reference materials useful. - In attachment you will be able to find information regarding the call for volunteers, that can be shared with your respective SO/AC. Kindly ensure to adjust the “how to apply” section. *About ccPDP4* In September 2013, the ccNSO submitted the IDN country code policy development process (ccPDP2) Board Report to the ICANN Board of Directors. The recommended policy ccPDP2 contains two parts: 1. High-level proposals for the criteria and requirements for the IDN ccTLD string selection and activities, roles, and responsibilities of the actors involved in the string selection and string evaluation processes and procedures. 2. Proposals to enable the inclusion of IDN ccTLDs in the ccNSO. By mutual understanding between the ccNSO and the ICANN Board, the Fast Track Process evolved, to test and gain more experience with the policy aspects pertaining to the introduction of IDN ccTLDs. The latest step in the evolution of the Fast Track Process was the introduction of the Risk Mitigation Panel and related process in case of confusing similarity of a requested IDNccTLD string in 2018. In March 2019 the ccNSO Council tasked a team (Preliminary Review Team or PRT) to review ccPDP2 in light of the impact of the following related processes on the recommended policies: - The evolved Fast Track Process, - The request of the ICANN Board of Directors with respect to IDN Variants and - Other relevant developments such as retirement of the (IDN) ccTLDs Based on its high-level analysis, the PRT identified various issues with the recommended policy for the selection of IDN ccTLD strings and advised Council to launch a ccNSO Policy Development Process (ccPDP4) to address these issues, including the de-selection of IDN ccTLD strings. In January 2020, the ccNSO Council requested an Issue Report. In May 2020, after the Issue Report was submitted to Council, including the opinion of ICANN’s General Counsel, the ccNSO Council initiated the ccNSO Policy Development Process 4 to develop policy for the (de-)selection of IDN ccTLD strings. In addition, it was proposed to conduct ccPDP4 by way of a chartered working group, according to the proposed timeline. The Issue report will be published for comments shortly. The public comments, if any, will be used to inform the discussions of the WG. *Reference Materials & Links* - Issue report <https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/132088151/Item%205%20a-%20…> - ccPDP4 section on ccNSO website: https://ccnso.icann.org/en/workinggroups/idn-cctld-strings.htm [ccnso.icann.org] <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/ccnso.icann.org/en/workinggroups/idn-cct…> - ccPDP4 Workspace: https://community.icann.org/x/ZoBIC Thank you.
