Re: [ALAC] Overlap between ALSes and non-At-Large parts of the ICANN community

Thanks Evan. Yes, overall behaviour for our community is well out of our scope, but this was discussed and it is one of the "sidebar" things we will be recommending to the ALAC to consider. Both submitting statements of interest and possible conflicts, and regular updating. Alan At 2020-04-20 01:00 AM, Evan Leibovitch wrote: >Hi Alan, > >I agree that disclosure is the best remedy.

Fwd: [ICANN Community Leaders] 20 April 2020
by Maureen Hilyard April 20, 2020

April 20, 2020

Monday, 20 April 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 Information Sharing - REMINDER: PIR Transaction and Proposed Public Interest Commitments Update - REMINDER: Call for Expressions of Interest: Standing Panel for ICANN’s Independent Review Process ICANN68 Planning - NEW: ICANN68 Publication Support Public Comment - CLOSES TODAY: Proposal for Chinese Script Root Zone Label Generation Rules - CLOSES THURSDAY: Proposal for Bangla Script Root Zone Label Generation Rules - Phase 1 Initial Report of the Review of All Rights Protection Mechanisms in All gTLDs Policy Development Process - Addendum to the Initial Report of the Expedited Policy Development Process (EPDP) on the Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data Team – Phase 2 - Guidelines for Developing Reference Label Generation Rules (LGRs) for the Second Level Version 2 - ICANN Africa Regional Plan for Fiscal Years 2021-2025 Information Sharing REMINDER: PIR Transaction and Proposed Public Interest Commitments Update Executive: Göran Marby, ICANN President and CEO Since Public Interest Registry (PIR) formally notified ICANN of the proposed change of control transaction on 14 November 2019 <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012tUUq7jk7WfOQXQshQulqFkHFQAfypxnFK1XemLquiYA…> , the ICANN org and Board have worked together to thoughtfully and thoroughly evaluate the proposed acquisition to ensure that the .ORG registry remains secure, reliable, and stable. Throughout this process, ICANN has urged PIR, the Internet Society (ISOC), and Ethos Capital (Ethos) to engage and consult with the .ORG community, and to provide full transparency regarding the proposed transaction. Today, ICANN is publishing <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012tUUq7jk7WfOQXQshQulqFkHFQAfypxnFK1XemLquiYA…> PIR's recently updated Public Interest Commitments (PICs), which were received by ICANN on 7 April 2020. PIR proposes that these PICs be added to the . <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012tUUq7jk7WfOQXQshQulqFkHFQAfypxnFK1XemLquiYA…>ORG Registry Agreement <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012tUUq7jk7WfOQXQshQulqFkHFQAfypxnFK1XemLquiYA…> <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012tUUq7jk7WfOQXQshQulqFkHFQAfypxnFK1XemLquiYA…>should ICANN approve the change of control request submitted by PIR. Two versions of the PICs are being published: a "clean <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012tUUq7jk7WfOQXQshQulqFkHFQAfypxnFK1XemLquiYA…>" version and a "redline <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012tUUq7jk7WfOQXQshQulqFkHFQAfypxnFK1XemLquiYA…>" version that shows changes made by PIR from its 16 March 2020 version submitted to ICANN following PIR's Public Engagement process <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012tUUq7jk7WfOQXQshQulqFkHFQAfypxnFK1XemLquiYA…> . <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012tUUq7jk7WfOQXQshQulqFkHFQAfypxnFK1XemLquiYA…> The revised PICs that ICANN is publishing today are in response to additional questions posed by ICANN as part of its diligence around the change of control request. On 3 April 2020, ICANN provided PIR with two sets of questions. One set of questions are in follow-up to previous ICANN inquiries designed to further understand the proposed transaction and its potential effect on PIR and the .ORG top-level domain (TLD). The second set of questions relate specifically to the proposed PICs. PIR has indicated that it is working to answer all of the questions from ICANN. It is ICANN's intention to post PIR's responses to these questions when they are available, subject to any appropriate requests for confidentiality made by PIR. Many people have questioned the enforceability of PICs by ICANN. To be clear, PICs are enforceable by ICANN. Any Internet user may submit complaints to ICANN Contractual Compliance. In addition, ICANN Contractual Compliance may identify an issue through its proactive monitoring. ICANN's follow-up questions to PIR seek to ensure that ICANN has a clear understanding of each commitment within the PICs, such that it could be enforced should the need arise. The ICANN Board continues to have reservations regarding the enforceability of PIR's proposed PICs. The .ORG Registry Agreement stipulates a specified time period for ICANN to approve or withhold consent of the proposed change of control of PIR. ICANN and PIR have agreed to extend the deadline several times since the original deadline in mid-January, and the deadline for ICANN's response is now Monday, 20 April 2020. Similar to when voluntary commitments in the form of PICs were proposed by applicants for new generic TLDs, ICANN is providing PIR's proposed PICs to the ICANN community with this public notice. Given the fast-approaching deadline for ICANN to make a decision to approve or withhold consent on the requested change of control of PIR, the typical 30-day public notice period has been condensed to seven days. We recognize the full engagement of the .ORG community in PIR's consultation process, but wanted to ensure ICANN remained fully transparent in what is being considered, the concerns still present in the Board's review, and what the Board will be reviewing. How to Participate: Feedback may be submitted as a comment to this blog <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012tUUq7jk7WfOQXQshQulqFkHFQAfypxnFK1XemLquiYA…> or through correspondence to me or the ICANN Board. We thank the ICANN community for its active participation in this matter and remain committed to keeping you informed of new developments. REMINDER: Call for Expressions of Interest: Standing Panel for ICANN’s Independent Review Process Announcement <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012tUUq7jk7WfOQXQshQulqFkHFQAfypxnFK1XemLquiYA…> On 31 March 2020, ICANN opened a call for Expressions of Interest for panelists to serve on the omnibus Standing Panel for ICANN's Independent Review Process (IRP). Candidates for the IRP omnibus Standing Panel should review the Expressions of Interest document <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012tUUq7jk7WfOQXQshQulqFkHFQAfypxnFK1XemLquiYA…> <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012tUUq7jk7WfOQXQshQulqFkHFQAfypxnFK1XemLquiYA…>before submission.

ICANN68 Planning Meeting (16 April) & Keith Drazek email

April 16, 2020

On Apr 16, 2020, at 7:07 PM, David Olive <david.olive(a)icann.org> wrote: *-------* *ICANN68 Meeting Framework:* - Sessions listed on the formal meeting schedule will receive technical, language and meetings support as outlined by Nick on the call (i.e. ICANN Virtual Policy Forum support). - The formal meeting schedule will focus on “hot topics” (i.e. high interest plenary sessions), a Public Forum, Executive Q&A and other priority sessions identified by the community (e.g. policy topics meriting cross-community dialogue; individual or bilateral working sessions to progress important work). - Other sessions can be organized that do not appear on the formal meeting schedule – however, *only sessions that are published on the formal schedule will receive full ICANN Virtual Policy Forum support*. - These “other sessions” will be considered “regular” (normal inter-sessional) meetings and be supported by the staff teams that normally manage these sessions (e.g. Policy). - They can either be scheduled during the meeting dates (with the caveats as noted) or around the meeting (e.g. before or after the official meeting dates). - The formal meeting schedule will be supplemented by Prep Week, other sessions such as working group meetings that do not need to take place during the meeting period and post-meeting readouts and follow up webinars – as befitting a flexible, deconstructed Virtual Policy Forum. *Action Items:* 1. By next week (suggested date: *Thursday 23 April*), each community group to provide its input as to *what sessions and topics it believes should be on the official meeting schedule* (and hence receive full ICANN Virtual Policy Forum meeting support). 1. Input to include (if possible) feedback as to whether additional plenary sessions are needed (in addition to one on DNS abuse) and, if so, which (if any) of the topic(s) noted in the survey should be the subject of additional session(s). 2. For planning purposes, *community groups to take as a starting point the proposal that priority sessions be scheduled, as much as possible, during a 4-hour block between 0400-0800 UTC.* *As noted above, this does not prevent other sessions from being scheduled during the 4 days of the meeting, but full support will not be available for all such sessions.* 3. Fulfillment of requests for live interpretation and/or ICANN org’s Meetings Technical Services (MTS) support for individual community sessions outside the 4-hour block will depend on the availability of the requested service at that time. 2. By next week (suggested date: *Thursday 23 April*), each community group to provide its feedback as to whether or not to announce the recipient of the *2020 Community Excellence Award* during the Virtual Policy Forum, with the actual ceremony to take place at the next face-to-face ICANN Public Meeting. 3. By end-April, Tanzanica King to prepare *preliminary ICANN68 meeting schedule* based on community group input, taking into account availability of requested technical and language services, meeting room capacity and availability, need to ensure breaks between sessions, etc. *Next Planning Call: * - 30 April 2020 – Notice and calendar invites being sent shortly --------- David A. Olive Senior Vice President Policy Development Support Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Washington, D.C. _______________________________________________ Drazek, Keith via SOAC-Leaders-ICANNMeeting-Planning 1:32 PM (2 minutes ago) to David, SOAC-Leaders-ICANNMeeting-Planning Thank you, David. Following up the good discussion of this group on Wednesday, I’d like to underscore a couple of points for everyone’s consideration as we engage our respective communities. 1. Under these challenging circumstances, which could worsen in some places as we approach June/July, we should be focused on only what’s necessary, time-sensitive, and mission-critical. As such, we need to avoid adding extra plenary sessions just to fill time and slots. 2. ICANN 68 is our annual Policy Forum. As such, we should keep the focus of our meeting slot allocation on the actual work of policy development and associated implementation work. In the Policy Forum construct, we do not typically have a Public Forum or Q&A with ICANN Execs. As such, we should avoid adding those kinds of sessions and stick to plenary sessions that support or enhance policy development/implementation. 3. There is clear cross-community interest in the topic of DNS Abuse, and it is relevant to the current circumstances of COVID-19. I would support a plenary session on DNS Abuse, but I’m having difficulty identifying other similar topics that would warrant scarce time and support resources at a challenging hour for much of the community. Let’s be judicious in our selection of such plenary sessions and ensure we leave sufficient slots available for the policy work. That’s my initial feedback and thinking from a GNSO Council perspective. I’ll provide additional input after the GNSO community has had a chance to consider further. Best regards to all! Stay safe.

Fwd: [ICANN Community Leaders] 16 April 2020

Thursday, 16 April 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 Information Sharing - REMINDER: PIR Transaction and Proposed Public Interest Commitments Update - NEW: Registrant Course on ICANN Learn - REMINDER: Call for Expressions of Interest: Standing Panel for ICANN’s Independent Review Process ICANN68 Planning - NEW: ICANN68 Publication Support Public Comment - CLOSES MONDAY: Proposal for Chinese Script Root Zone Label Generation Rules - CLOSES NEXT WEEK: Proposal for Bangla Script Root Zone Label Generation Rules - Phase 1 Initial Report of the Review of All Rights Protection Mechanisms in All gTLDs Policy Development Process - Addendum to the Initial Report of the Expedited Policy Development Process (EPDP) on the Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data Team – Phase 2 - Guidelines for Developing Reference Label Generation Rules (LGRs) for the Second Level Version 2 - NEW: ICANN Africa Regional Plan for Fiscal Years 2021-2025 Information Sharing REMINDER: PIR Transaction and Proposed Public Interest Commitments Update Executive: Göran Marby, ICANN President and CEO Since Public Interest Registry (PIR) formally notified ICANN of the proposed change of control transaction on 14 November 2019 <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001zFMw0XXyufHBVRcNXzHvudbmSQGOQ3cqDr2LyKWIpWWE…> , the ICANN org and Board have worked together to thoughtfully and thoroughly evaluate the proposed acquisition to ensure that the .ORG registry remains secure, reliable, and stable. Throughout this process, ICANN has urged PIR, the Internet Society (ISOC), and Ethos Capital (Ethos) to engage and consult with the .ORG community, and to provide full transparency regarding the proposed transaction. Today, ICANN is publishing <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001zFMw0XXyufHBVRcNXzHvudbmSQGOQ3cqDr2LyKWIpWWE…> PIR's recently updated Public Interest Commitments (PICs), which were received by ICANN on 7 April 2020. PIR proposes that these PICs be added to the . <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001zFMw0XXyufHBVRcNXzHvudbmSQGOQ3cqDr2LyKWIpWWE…>ORG Registry Agreement <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001zFMw0XXyufHBVRcNXzHvudbmSQGOQ3cqDr2LyKWIpWWE…> <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001zFMw0XXyufHBVRcNXzHvudbmSQGOQ3cqDr2LyKWIpWWE…>should ICANN approve the change of control request submitted by PIR. Two versions of the PICs are being published: a "clean <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001zFMw0XXyufHBVRcNXzHvudbmSQGOQ3cqDr2LyKWIpWWE…>" version and a "redline <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001zFMw0XXyufHBVRcNXzHvudbmSQGOQ3cqDr2LyKWIpWWE…>" version that shows changes made by PIR from its 16 March 2020 version submitted to ICANN following PIR's Public Engagement process <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001zFMw0XXyufHBVRcNXzHvudbmSQGOQ3cqDr2LyKWIpWWE…> . <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001zFMw0XXyufHBVRcNXzHvudbmSQGOQ3cqDr2LyKWIpWWE…> The revised PICs that ICANN is publishing today are in response to additional questions posed by ICANN as part of its diligence around the change of control request. On 3 April 2020, ICANN provided PIR with two sets of questions. One set of questions are in follow-up to previous ICANN inquiries designed to further understand the proposed transaction and its potential effect on PIR and the .ORG top-level domain (TLD). The second set of questions relate specifically to the proposed PICs. PIR has indicated that it is working to answer all of the questions from ICANN. It is ICANN's intention to post PIR's responses to these questions when they are available, subject to any appropriate requests for confidentiality made by PIR. Many people have questioned the enforceability of PICs by ICANN. To be clear, PICs are enforceable by ICANN. Any Internet user may submit complaints to ICANN Contractual Compliance. In addition, ICANN Contractual Compliance may identify an issue through its proactive monitoring. ICANN's follow-up questions to PIR seek to ensure that ICANN has a clear understanding of each commitment within the PICs, such that it could be enforced should the need arise. The ICANN Board continues to have reservations regarding the enforceability of PIR's proposed PICs. The .ORG Registry Agreement stipulates a specified time period for ICANN to approve or withhold consent of the proposed change of control of PIR. ICANN and PIR have agreed to extend the deadline several times since the original deadline in mid-January, and the deadline for ICANN's response is now Monday, 20 April 2020. Similar to when voluntary commitments in the form of PICs were proposed by applicants for new generic TLDs, ICANN is providing PIR's proposed PICs to the ICANN community with this public notice. Given the fast-approaching deadline for ICANN to make a decision to approve or withhold consent on the requested change of control of PIR, the typical 30-day public notice period has been condensed to seven days. We recognize the full engagement of the .ORG community in PIR's consultation process, but wanted to ensure ICANN remained fully transparent in what is being considered, the concerns still present in the Board's review, and what the Board will be reviewing. How to Participate: Feedback may be submitted as a comment to this blog <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001zFMw0XXyufHBVRcNXzHvudbmSQGOQ3cqDr2LyKWIpWWE…> or through correspondence to me or the ICANN Board. We thank the ICANN community for its active participation in this matter and remain committed to keeping you informed of new developments. NEW: Registrant Course on ICANN Learn Executive: Sally Costerton, Senior Advisor to the President and Senior Vice President, Global Stakeholder Engagement ICANN org has published a new course for registrants that aims to educate registrants and the end user community on a registrant's rights and responsibilities, and their role in the domain name ecosystem. Register for the course. <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001zFMw0XXyufHBVRcNXzHvudbmSQGOQ3cqDr2LyKWIpWWE…> REMINDER: Call for Expressions of Interest: Standing Panel for ICANN’s Independent Review Process Announcement <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001zFMw0XXyufHBVRcNXzHvudbmSQGOQ3cqDr2LyKWIpWWE…> On 31 March 2020, ICANN opened a call for Expressions of Interest for panelists to serve on the omnibus Standing Panel for ICANN's Independent Review Process (IRP).
