Fwd: GAC Human Rights Core Value Implementation: Invitation
by Maureen Hilyard Sept. 12, 2019

Sept. 12, 2019

Hi everyone I've just received this from the GAC. They'd like to know if there is anyone who would like to participate in a discussion in Montreal with the GAC and other constituencies about how we in At-Large approach the implementation of the Human Rights Core Value. Do we have a volunteer? Let me know. Maureen ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Benedetta Rossi <benedetta.rossi(a)icann.org> Date: Wed, 11 Sep 2019, 9:53 PM Subject: GAC Human Rights Core Value Implementation: Invitation To: ICANN At-Large Staff <staff(a)atlarge.icann.org>, Maureen Hilyard < maureen.hilyard(a)gmail.com> Dear Maureen, Heidi and all, I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to you on behalf of the GAC Human Rights and International Relations WG who is hosting a session in collaboration with the CCWP on Human Rights in Montreal relative to the Implementation of the Human Rights Core Value in ICANN’s Bylaws. The brief session description is as follows: 1. A brief introduction to the subject, the work so far in the community in this regard by CCWP and HRILWG; 2. Focus on an open exchange on how ICANN as a community and its component parts (ICANN Org, SO/ACs) approach the implementation of the HR Core Value; and 3. Consider follow-up as appropriate. The session is scheduled on *Wednesday, 6 November 2019 at 8:30 am for one hour*. The GAC would like to see if there are interested speakers from At-Large who would like to participate in this session especially relative to the open exchange on how ICANN as a community and its component parts approach the implementation of the HR core value. Can you kindly seek interest within At-Large members to see who would be the most appropriate speaker for this session if there is indeed interest in attending and participating? Thank you ever so much for your help, Kind regards, Benedetta -- *Benedetta Rossi *| GAC Advice and Policy Support Manager benedetta.rossi(a)icann.org | +33.610.38.27.02 *ICANN* | Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers

Re: [ALAC] Review of ROP fo ALSes

Daniel, this is the core component of addressing Issue #2 of the At-Large Review and you will see a proposal on how we proceed with this very shortly. And yes, there will be an opportunity for you to contribute to this. As a specific point, the case if Connecting.NYC is a good example, as is the phrase in your message "Connecting.nyc Inc. (NARALO ALS) ceased to exist after the death of its member". An ALS which has just one member or just one person interested in ICANN is problematic. The Review proposals made it clear that a prime benefit of an ALS is its members. Alan At 10/09/2019 08:11 AM, DANIEL NANGHAKA wrote: Dear All, Following one of the calls, one of the key issues that came up was to review the ALSes structure. With reference to an update from NARALO (In this case - NARALO leadership best understands the situation) which I believe many of At-Large Structures may fall fate. Connecting.nyc Inc. (NARALO ALS) ceased to exist after the death of its member. Quoting the link "Recently we lost of our NARALO ALS which is Connection.NYC was Tom Lowenhaupt. Tom passed away and the organization ceases to exist and verified by Joly MacFie." I see this as an urgent call to action, where there is a need for a periodic review of ALSes to confirm their representatives after a given period of time. The lose or death of a member should not hinder or affect the representation of a community or group. Furthermore, Some of the ALSes that have passed due diligence - there works or activities may not be related to the mandate of ICANN. So this calls for a review of the ALSes in there respective participation and engagement in the respective processes. Is there a way to measure metrics of engagement and participation of ALS on whether they reflect the objectives and mandate? Another challenge is currently there are no or limited activities that involve ALSes reporting to there respective communities and vice verse - hence there is a need to rethink how ALSes engage with their respective communities in order to drive participation and effective engagement in ICANN PDPs. Some of the issues may be strong or a challenge to implement, though, with the growing need and shift in Policy issues that affect the end-users, there is a need to come up with new and innovative approaches to streamline participation and representation of end-users. Am open to suggestions or ways of how this can be effectively implemented and furthermore, I look forward to contributing to any working group that will be or is tailored towards this. Daniel K.

These considerations would not change the process by which decisions are made but could instead serve as tools for the community to reinforce the commitment to the public interest and to demonstrate how specific recommendations, advice, and public comments are in the global public interest. This includes the ICANN community guiding the ICANN Board about the public interest determination the latter must make in its decisions. To learn more about the framework, please read the discussion paper (PDF) <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001rACmbMoN-TgEDa6BT3wJOjsRRc1pyMtTnxw62Sr0LnaH…>.

The aim of this survey is to collect opinions from individuals and groups in the ICANN community on ICANN’s accountability and transparency, and to help the ATRT3 Review Team identify areas which require improvement and could benefit from a recommendation. The individual survey is available here: http://input.icann.org/go?iv=eupcis2ldyww The group survey (intended to capture group responses from ICANN community groups) is available here: http://input.icann.org/go?iv=3j46tfx0r5yzt Following the close of both surveys on Friday, 13 September 2019 at 23:59 UTC, the ATRT3 Review Team will evaluate responses as input to its draft final report. REMINDER: Submission Deadline for NCAP Study 1 RFP Extended Executive: David Conrad, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) FOR: All Community Leaders INFORMATION SHARING On 9 July 2019, the ICANN org opened an RFP to select a contractor to research and write Study 1 of the Name Collision Analysis Project (NCAP), a project overseen by SSAC at the request of the ICANN Board. Very few organizations indicated their intention to bid on this work, so the ICANN org decided to extend the deadline for proposal submission to Friday, 23 August 2019. More information <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001UpdT1Kg3IDKbWxRs60v6RiIrsrvCJ5eUaTGOWwKUq1dv…>. All community leaders are encouraged to share this information with any organizations they believe might be interested and capable of performing the work. REMINDER: NextGen@ICANN Survey Executive: Sally Costerton, Senior Adviser to President and Senior Vice President, Global Stakeholder Engagement FOR: All Community Leaders INFORMATION SHARING The ICANN organization is initiating a community consultation <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001UpdT1Kg3IDKbWxRs60v6RiIrsrvCJ5eUaTGOWwKUq1dv…> to identify improvement opportunities for the NextGen@ICANN Program <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001UpdT1Kg3IDKbWxRs60v6RiIrsrvCJ5eUaTGOWwKUq1dv…>. The review will start with gathering community input via a survey about several aspects of the NextGen@ICANN Program, including its purpose, goals, processes, and synergies with the ICANN academic community. The survey <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001UpdT1Kg3IDKbWxRs60v6RiIrsrvCJ5eUaTGOWwKUq1dv…> (PDF with background at the beginning and questionnaire questions at the end) is intended for all ICANN community groups; individuals are encouraged to work with their relevant Supporting Organizations, Advisory Committees, stakeholder groups, and constituencies. Responses are due Monday, 9 September 2019. Based on the input received from the survey, ICANN org will draft a proposal for program improvements that will be published for Public Comment. Once all feedback is received, ICANN org will prepare the final proposal for program improvements. Sally Costerton's blog about the NextGen@ICANN Community Consultation <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001UpdT1Kg3IDKbWxRs60v6RiIrsrvCJ5eUaTGOWwKUq1dv…> REMINDER: Planning Assumptions for Subsequent Procedures for New gTLDs Executive: Cyrus Namazi, Senior Vice President, Global Domains Division FOR: All Community Leaders INFORMATION SHARING In December 2015, the GNSO initiated a Policy Development Process (PDP) to determine if changes to existing policy recommendations are needed before the next round of gTLDs. The PDP Working Group expects to publish its final report with its recommendations by December 2019. These recommendations may lead to procedural changes for subsequent rounds of gTLD applications, which ICANN org must implement and manage. In the course of our preparatory work toward the planning and implementation of the new policy, ICANN org has compiled a number of fundamental operationally focused assumptions to help with the preliminary planning and operational readiness of the organization. These are working assumptions informed by the current work of the Subsequent Procedures PDP Working Group. Depending on outcome of the PDP Working Group and community input, the assumptions may be updated. These assumptions have been shared with the ICANN Board, as well as the PDP Working Group and other parts of the community. ICANN org has held discussions and/or received input from the Subsequent Procedures PDP Working Group, GAC, ALAC, and RSSAC. ICANN org plans to summarize the community input received on the operational planning assumptions and share with the ICANN Board at its September workshop. Any community input received by Friday, 30 August 2019 will be included in the summary. To submit additional feedback, please contact Trang Nguyen, trang.nguyen(a)icann.org ICANN66 Planning DESIGN DEADLINE THIS WEEK: Publication Support for ICANN66 Executive: David Olive, Senior Vice President, Policy Development Support FOR: All Community Leaders INFORMATION SHARING Design Deadline If you require design assistance for an ICANN66 publication, all text, images, layout, and publication type/size requirements (i.e. newsletter, 1-pager, tri-fold, etc.) are due Friday, 23 August 2019. Due to budget constraints, please keep in mind that all materials, new or updated, need to be evergreen. Translation Deadline If your ICANN66 publication requires translation, please provide the final material(s) by Friday, 6 September 2019.

If your materials require design assistance (outlined above), please note that the final materials will have to be complete, including the edit/approval process, by this deadline in order to be translated. Print-Only Deadline If you only need your ICANN66 publication printed (meaning your publication is ready to send directly to the printer and needs no translation or design/layout modifications), please provide the file along with the quantity you want printed and dimensions of the publication by Friday, 20 September 2019.
