[CONFIDENTIAL] Special Recognition
by John Laprise March 14, 2019

March 14, 2019

It's been mentioned by many people that we should consider giving special recognition to Dev for his stakeholder mapping tool. I would suggest two non-exclusive options: 1. ALAC proclamation 2. Board advice that they should recognize him for his service. It's in ver8.61 and he's been working on this thankless task for many years. I'd also recommend that we do not tell Dev. I think the surprise is part of the recognition. Best regards, John Laprise NARALO ALAC Representative

Kindest regards, Olivier -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [ICANN Community Leaders] Request relating to ICANN64 Governance Session Date: Sat, 9 Mar 2019 05:55:15 +0000 From: Mary Wong <mary.wong(a)icann.org> To: so-ac-sg-cleaders(a)icann.org <so-ac-sg-cleaders(a)icann.org> Dear community leaders, Please read the message and request below from Brian Cute, who will be moderating the governance session later this week in Kobe. Thank you. Best regards, Mary (on behalf of David Olive) All, As you heard from Cherine during your SO/AC discussion with him, and also seen in his blog following the Board workshop in Los Angeles https://www.icann.org/news/blog/chair-s-blog-wrapping-up-the-los-angeles-wo… [icann.org] I will be facilitating a conversation with the ICANN Community, org and Board in Kobe at ICANN 64 on the evolution of the multistakeholder governance model.

Fwd: FOLLOW UP (Re: ICANN64 Cross Community Session: Next Steps in ICANN's Response to the GDPR)
by Maureen Hilyard March 5, 2019

March 5, 2019

FYI ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Steve DelBianco <sdelbianco(a)netchoice.org> Date: Tue, Mar 5, 2019 at 6:24 AM Subject: Re: FOLLOW UP (Re: ICANN64 Cross Community Session: Next Steps in ICANN's Response to the GDPR) To: Mary Wong <mary.wong(a)icann.org> Cc: Chantelle Doerksen <chantelle.doerksen(a)icann.org>, Carlos Reyes < carlos.reyes(a)icann.org>, Cyrus Namazi <cyrus.namazi(a)icann.org>, Bruna Santos <bruna.mrtns(a)gmail.com>, Maureen Hilyard <maureen.hilyard(a)gmail.com>, Manal Ismail <manal(a)tra.gov.eg>, Rod Rasmussen <rod(a)rodrasmussen.com>, Maria Otanes <maria.otanes(a)icann.org>, Austin, Donna <Donna.Austin(a)team.neustar> Mary – now that the Council vote is done, could you please update the Kobe session description as follows: The EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) took effect May-2018, prompting ICANN Org to change how it enforces Whois policies. The GNSO launched an expedited policy development process (EPDP) to replace a Temporary Specification that expires May-2019. Last month, the EPDP produced policy recommendations to replace the Temporary Specification, as approved by the GNSO Council on 4-Mar. The ICANN Board will be accepting public comments before it votes to approve the EPDP policy recommendation. That’s what happened so far with GDPR and Whois. This session will focus on What Happens Next: - ICANN Org will work with a GNSO Implementation Review Team on details for the new policy. - The EPDP will resume its work to resolve open questions from and to develop policy for a system for standardized access to non-public registration data (also known as a Unified Access Model) - ICANN Org and its Technical Study Group will continue work on technical means to support a Unified Access Model. - ICANN Org will continue exploring legal framework to support a Unified Access Model. - The ICANN community must consider how to update existing policies and procedures to ensure consistency with the EPDP recommendations, including: Consistent Labeling and Display Policy; Thick WHOIS Transition Policy for .COM, .NET, .JOBS; UDRP and URS Rules; Transfer Policy and TDRP; and WHOIS Data Reminder Policy. - GNSO must decide whether and how to re-start work that may be dependent on the outcomes of the EPDP, including Privacy & Proxy Services accreditation issues and the procedure for handling Whois conflicts with Privacy Law. Attend this session to understand and comment on policy work to reconcile ICANN’s Whois policies with privacy laws and legitimate needs for registrant data. --

Re: [ALAC] Bad Actor Admission
by Evan Leibovitch March 5, 2019

March 5, 2019

Hi Bastiaan, > It does confirm to me there is all the more need for civil society and > end-user influence and push back. I take it we all agree on that. Of course > the discussion we’re having is not only about the ‘why’ but especially > about the ‘how’. I do not have the answer. Although I find the almost > academic discourses of some of our colleagues in this thread very > interesting, I think the real challenge is to translate our concerns into > practical and feasible measures which we can also clearly communicate to > our constituencies in order to engage them. > My thoughts on constructive action going forward have been expressed elsewhere. But here's one more time. *TL;DR version: Baby steps won't work. ALAC needs a hard look at itself and the impact it's making, which is currently ... not much as seen by the outside world.* ICANN At-Large seriously needs to re-envision its purpose and how it can faithfully serve the public interest while staying true to its role as defined in the ICANN bylaws. This means a conscious decision to re-evaluate what the public interest in the DNS is, well beyond the current policy processes currently limiting ICANN's governance. As just one example (but a big one): ICANN has stated emphatically that it is not a regulator. Implied in that is the assertion that the DNS does not need regulation, just the bare oversight-by-contract that ICANN currently provides. So in the DNS world there are no rules, just contract terms. Is this sufficient? Isn't ICANN in a conflict of interest by being financially dependent on the industry it is supposed to oversee? Is the public interest served by having the DNS unregulated? What are the risks of continuing lack of regulation? And If ICANN won't regulate, who should? The ITU? (shudder) If not them, then who? These questions (and others) desperately need to be asked. Industry won't ask them, because it is fine with a status quo in which it has control. The GAC, if pressed, will happily fall back on multilateralism which may be no better than the current industry capture. It's up to ALAC, and we're too busy in reacting to micro-crises (Public comments! Working groups! Combined working groups!) to actually perform our role of sober reflection on how ICANN serves the interests of end users. ALAC advice is not and never has been limited to domain policy. We are able -- we are MANDATED -- to comment on every aspect of ICANN including its own scope, governance and methods of operation. And yet ... when was the last piece of real advice that ALAC gave to ICANN about its dereliction of duty to the public interest by refusing to regulate? No, the ALAC of today is content to changing paragraphs here and there on the edges of industry-crafted policy. This tactic, while it creates occasional small victories and fleeting alliances, solves none of the larger problems. As many of you know I was deeply involved in ALAC for a long time, and now I've had sufficient time outside the bubble to see just how tiny our victories were. Meanwhile the community of billions for whom the ICANN Board have entrusted ALAC to speak sees ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to show for our thousands of person-hours and air miles. Domains remain abused, expanding in numbers without evidence of demand, locked away by speculation, only truly owned by the domain service industry, resistant to real competition and dedicated to growth at the expense of utility. What have we successfully done about any of that except smooth a few of the roughest edges? I do not hold all the answers, or even most of them. I personally believe that ALAC needs to divert a substantial portion of its budget away from travel and outreach and into R&D and public education, and that it should have enough independence so that it is able to successfully fund-raise outside ICANN without jeopardizing its core finances. These solutions of mine may be way off, but I haven't seen any alternatives beyond just continuing to run the maze assigned to us. Why must we think so small when so much needs to be done and nobody else is doing it? We need to be more than simply ICANN's response when it's accused of insufficient public accountability. I *beg* for the push-back you ask for, Bastiaan; is ALAC capable? Does it have the will? Or is it too comfortable with members playing politics? I really do hope this topic gets sufficient breathing room at the next Summit, for that IMO seems the only real forum where this can be aired in a way that can hope for any traction. - Evan
