Dear Maureen, I can provide an update about the webinars and I would like to suggest a session for the At-Large during ICANN69. I propose a session with the title “ Coordinating the Internet unique identifiers and the interests of the Internet users” The session would attempt to explore, identify and present the interests of the Internet users in relation to the Internet unique identifiers. The session would start by presenting how the coordination and collaboration between different stakeholders ensures that policy development and technical functions are carried in the public interest and then would present the Internet users’ possible interests from different angles. On a separate note: I don’t know when is today’s meeting. Staff could you please send me an invitation to today’s meeting and check which email those invitations are sent to. Thank you.

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?

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!

Fwd: [SOAC-Leaders-ICANNMeeting-Planning] ICANN69 Topic Proposal: The Domain Name Services Marketplace
by Maureen Hilyard Aug. 12, 2020

Aug. 12, 2020

Anyone got a proposal in mind for a plenary topic from At-Large? Jonathan Robinson's proposal is attached for your reference: the Domain Name Services Marketplace. Our completed proposal (if forthcoming) is due by 13th Aug. M ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Tanzanica S. King <tanzanica.king(a)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> 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 <jrobinson(a)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.

News from Lacralo
by Sergio Salinas Porto Aug. 5, 2020

Aug. 5, 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!
