Request for Comments #IOC RCRC
by Salanieta T. Tamanikaiwaimaro Sept. 23, 2012

Sept. 23, 2012

Dear All, This is in response to call for feedback from ALAC Liaison officer, Alan Greenberg to the GNSO on the GNSO Red Cross/IOC matter through an email sent to the ALAC on September 19, 2012. The GNSO has put out a consensus call and is soliciting responses prior to September 26, 2012. The context of the request for feedback is to gather and feed our input as ALAC for the IOC-RC Draft Team as they prepare their list of recommendations and options to the GNSO. I. Is a PDP necessary to resolve the International Olympic Committee and the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement issue? II. Should there be a moratorium placed on the registration of exact matches of IOC/Red Cross names contained in the GAC recommendation of September 15, 2011 at the second level in the first round of new gTLDs pending results of the PDP covering IGO names, IOC/RC names and other International organizations? These are Draft Submissions that I have made on the matter and invite your feedback before I finalise the same and send to the ALAC. I will be finalising my submissions within 48 hours. Kind Regards, -- Salanieta Tamanikaiwaimaro aka Sala P.O. Box 17862 Suva Fiji Twitter: @SalanietaT Skype:Salanieta.Tamanikaiwaimaro Fiji Cell: +679 998 2851

Dear Raja: ICANN's At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) is pleased to inform you that (169) Internet Society Malaysia Chapter has been certified as an At-Large Structure (ALS). The ALAC greatly appreciates your group’s interest in involving individual users in ICANN and looks forward to working with you and your colleagues. The purpose of ALS certification is to recognize that your organization meets the necessary criteria to involve individual Internet users at the local or issue level in ICANN activities, and that your organization will support its individual members' informed participation in ICANN efforts that affect end-users. The ALAC is eager to promote a productive working relationship between your organization, other ALS, and the ALAC (and ICANN in general), and your input on how we can make this a success would be greatly appreciated. We would like to offer some initial tools to help your organization keep its members informed (about significant news from ICANN and information on ICANN policy-development efforts) and engaged in activities of interest: - Point of Contact for your Organisation: Please send an email to staff(a)atlarge.icann.org identifying the names and email addresses of one or two individuals who will be the point of contact for information and correspondence regarding ICANN At-Large.

Thick Whois PDP
by Salanieta T. Tamanikaiwaimaro Sept. 21, 2012

Sept. 21, 2012

Dear All, For consideration of the working group: Given the GNSO Council Motion which I have copied below where it was resolved that the Thick Whois PDP would be delayed following the first GNSO Council meeting after 30 November 2012, I thought I would suggest the following:- - Preparing and Receiving Community Input; - Analysis of Recommendations made by the Whois Review Final Report; - Channelling issues raised within the At Large on Thick Whois into the Wiki space; - Requesting for feedback on current studies carried out by GNSO and give input into current studies being carried out. *20120412 - 1* Motion to delay the 'thick' Whois Policy Development Process Whereas the GNSO Council requested an Issue Report on 'thick' Whois at its meeting on 22 September 2011 (see http://gnso.icann.org/resolutions/#201109 ); Whereas a Preliminary Issue Report on 'thick' Whois was prepared by staff and posted on 21 November 2011 for public comment (see http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-2-21nov11-en.htm) Whereas a Final Issue Report on 'thick' Whois was published on 2 February 2012 (see http://gnso.icann.org/issues/whois/final-report-thick-whois-02feb12-en.pdf) Whereas the Final Issue Report recommends that the GNSO Council proceed with a Policy Development Process limited to consideration of the issues discussed in this report, and the General Counsel of ICANN has indicated the topic is properly within the scope of the ICANN policy process and within the scope of the GNSO; Whereas the GNSO Council initiated a Policy Development Process at its meeting of 14 March 2012 (seehttp://gnso.icann.org/resolutions/#20120314-1) Whereas at its wrap up session on 15 March, taking into account the current workload of the GNSO community, the GNSO Council voiced support for a delay in the start of the PDP until both ICANN staff and GNSO resources are available to deal with this. THEREFORE BE IT: Resolved, the next step (creating a drafting team to develop a charter) of the 'thick' Whois PDP will be delayed until the first GNSO Council meeting after 30 November 2012. Thanks and Kind Regards, Sala -- Salanieta Tamanikaiwaimaro aka Sala P.O. Box 17862 Suva Fiji Twitter: @SalanietaT Skype:Salanieta.Tamanikaiwaimaro Fiji Cell: +679 998 2851

Re: [APAC-Discuss] [ALAC] Thick Whois PDP
by Alan Greenberg Sept. 20, 2012

Sept. 20, 2012

Sala, That resolution was at least partially triggered by the hope that a Thick Whois would be included as a requirement in the .com Registry Agreement. When the Board approved it without that requirement in Prague, the GNSO took the PDP off of the back burner and created a drafting team to draft a charter for the PDP, which will start immediately after the charter is approved. The DT is working on the charter, and I, Evan and Carlton are members of the DT. Alan At 19/09/2012 07:19 PM, Salanieta T.

Here's a development you might wish to follow. Some analysts say it is even more dangerous than pernicious ACTA to the public interest.

APEC Fact Sheet [20th Annual Leaders' Meeting]
by Salanieta T. Tamanikaiwaimaro Sept. 9, 2012

Sept. 9, 2012

APEC: 20th Annual Leaders' Meeting Fact Sheet Office of the Spokesperson Washington, DC September 9, 2012 ------------------------------ On September 8-9, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is participating in the 20th Annual Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Leaders’ meeting in Vladivostok, Russia. APEC is the premier forum for U.S. economic engagement with the Asia-Pacific region. APEC’s 21 member economies comprise a market of nearly 3 billion consumers, account for 44 percent of world trade, and represent 56 percent of global economic output ($39 trillion in 2011). Six of America’s 10 largest trading partners are in APEC. APEC Leaders are focused on promoting increased economic growth and prosperity in the region, under the four themes of the 2012 APEC year: (1) trade and investment liberalization, regional economic integration; (2) strengthening food security; (3) establishing reliable supply chains; and (4) intensive cooperation to foster innovative growth. The United States led the way in pushing for a ground-breaking APEC List of Environmental Goods to cut tariffs to 5 percent as agreed in 2011. The U.S. is also advancing efforts within APEC to take more significant steps to ensure food security, increase supply chain performance, promote market-driven innovation policies, and improve transparency in regulatory systems across APEC economies. Results in these areas will help U.S. growth and jobs by expanding export opportunities in the world’s fastest growing region. The APEC Agenda: Creating Jobs and Growth Since APEC was created, average tariffs in the region have fallen from 16 percent to 5 percent – on a value of $2.3 trillion of goods and services trade between the United States and the Asia-Pacific economies in 2010. Between 2009 and 2011, U.S. goods exports to other APEC member economies increased nearly 45 percent, and they are up 7.5 percent for the first half of 2012 alone. APEC economies purchased 60 percent of total U.S. goods exports in 2011 ($895 billion), and nearly 39 percent of U.S. private services exports in 2010 ($205 billion), supporting an estimated six million American jobs in 2011. In Vladivostok, the United States and other APEC economies further covered trade barriers in order to support the growth of high-quality jobs, including by: - Agreeing to an APEC List of Environmental Goods that directly and positively contribute to our green growth and sustainable development objectives that will serve as the basis for APEC Leaders’ 2011 commitment to reduce tariffs on these products to 5 percent or less by 2015 – this agreement will impact more than $1 billion in U.S. exports; - Showing leadership to swiftly and meaningfully conclude negotiations to expand the product scope and membership of the WTO Information Technology Agreement, which could create significant market-enhancing opportunities for U.S. high-tech companies; - Agreeing to a comprehensive effort to improve supply chain performance in the region, which will make it significantly cheaper, easier, and faster for businesses to trade in the region; - Addressing next generation trade and investment issues, including by promoting market-driven and non-discriminatory innovation policy and increasing transparency and due process in policymaking, which will help to bring our trade policies in line with the realities of the regional environment that U.S. businesses confront; - Agreeing to strengthen our efforts to combat illegal trade in wildlife, which has economic, social, security, and environmental consequences in APEC economies; - Improving food security by continuing to reaffirm an APEC-wide standstill on agricultural export restrictions; and - Reinforcing the need for greater rebalancing of demand to strengthen the recovery, and foster strong, sustainable, and balanced growth in the future. APEC Leaders are also advancing the role of women in the economy and the expansion of private sector participation in APEC’s work, including through the creation of a new public-private dialogue focused on innovation promotion in the region. APEC Economies – The Basic Facts: - APEC’s member economies include: The United States, Australia, Brunei Darussalam, Canada, Chile, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Peru, the Philippines, Russia, Singapore, Chinese Taipei (Taiwan), Thailand, and Vietnam. - Number of Economies: 21 (6 of them among the top 10 U.S. goods export markets: Canada, China, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Hong Kong) - Market Size: 2.7 billion consumers - Combined APEC GDP: $39 trillion in 2011 (56 percent of world economic output) U.S. Benefits from Trade with APEC Economies - Total U.S.-APEC Trade: $2.3 trillion in goods and services in 2010 (56 percent of total U.S. trade) - U.S.-APEC Trade Increase: Goods and services trade up 135 percent from nearly $1 trillion in 1994 - U.S. Jobs Supported by Exports: An estimated 6 million jobs - Existing U.S.-APEC FTAs: 7 (Australia, Canada, Chile, Korea, Mexico, Peru, Singapore) Top U.S. Markets in APEC: Canada ($280.9 billion) (Goods Exports 2011) Mexico ($198.4 billion) China ($103.9 billion) Japan ($65.7 billion) Korea ($43.4 billion) Goods Exports to APEC: $895 billion in 2011 (60 percent of total U.S. goods exports) Up 15 percent from 2010 Up 77 percent from 2000 Up 175 percent from 1994 Key Export Categories: Machinery ($131.7 billion) (Goods 2011) Electrical machinery ($115.5 billion) Vehicles ($83.9 billion) Mineral fuel (oil) ($61.5 billion) Plastics ($41.4 billion) Manufacturing Exports: $765.0 billion in 2011 Up 15 percent from 2010 Agricultural Exports: $97.9 billion in 2011 Up 16 percent from 2010 Top Agricultural Exports: Soybeans ($15.6 billion) Coarse grains ($11.1 billion) Red meats ($9.7 billion) Cotton ($5.7 billion) Wheat ($5.3 billion) Services Exports to APEC: At least $205 billion in 2010 (Private) 39 percent of total U.S. private services exports Up 16 percent from 2009 Up 82 percent from 2000 Up 146 percent from 1994 -- Salanieta Tamanikaiwaimaro aka Sala P.O.

Sept. 8, 2012

Dear All, Whilst we are fundamentally reviewing the 2001 and 2009 Versions of the Registrar Accreditation Agreements, it may also be worthwhile to keep in mind the Consensus Policies that are in place which affect the RAAs irrespective of whether they are woven into the Contracts, although some may differ. The Registries remain our point of connection and as such, it is useful to be familiar with. This is a condensed overview of the Sponsored Registry Agreements which I promised to send.
