Brief Update for APRALO and ALAC
by Salanieta T. Tamanikaiwaimaro Feb. 10, 2014

Feb. 10, 2014

Dear Colleagues, *Review of Trusted Community Representation in Root Zone DNSSEC Key Signing Ceremonies* Following the last APRALO Call and the invitation by ALAC Chair to the wider RALO for members to hold the pen on statements, I advise that I had volunteered to draft the statement on the Review of Trusted Community Representation in Root Zone DNSSEC Key Signing Ceremonies. The task involved consulting with the wider community of At Large and also through my own local ALS. By extension, APRALO held the pen. There was feedback from EURALO, LACRALO and NARALO. The final statement can be found via: https://community.icann.org/x/nge6Ag There were instances where there were divergent views expressed and care was taken to include all the views except for one where it was suggested to use the UNESCO model. The statement will go before the ALAC for their final vote. *APRALO and APTLD MoU* A MoU was drafted to capture intentions of both APRALO and APTLD. Ths involved exchanges of email between APTLD GM and the drafting team. The draft was sent to the APRALO for comments following a briefing on the APRALO call. Members were invited to make submissions and comments before 31st January, 2014. Confirmation was received that there were no comments nor submissions published on the Wiki nor sent to Siranush and the APRALO list. *Middle East DNS Forum* I am happy to report that I attended remotely through the channels and it was a very interesting and eye opening Forum where I got to learn about the experiences of the Arab Speaking region. I tweeted on occasion. You can discover what people were saying or thinking via twitter #MEDNSF. What stood out for me was how internet proliferation and access is being redefined with the introduction of Arabic script into the root zone. People were excited and this is fantastic news for communities in the region - many of whom are part of our RALO. It was also great that Ali was there in person. I am not sure how many ALSes were there but it would be great to hear about possible opportunities for further and better engagement with that region. I am also curious as to whether At Large and APRALO brochures were given out at the DNS Forum. Congratulations to Baher, Fahd and the TRR Team in Dubai for hosting a fantastic event! The Adobe was very clear and I was able to stream in on both Adobe and alternated via ITunes live stream. *Middle East Strategy Working Group Workspace* The Middle East community have also been engaging in developing a Middle East Strategy. Ali Almeshal has been active in this space. To monitor developments in this space, kindly visit the Middle East Strategy Working Group Workspace via https://community.icann.org/display/MES/Middle+East+Working+Group. The Strategy Document as well as the FY14 Implementation Plan can be found on the same link under "Documents" (see left pane of the wiki space) at https://community.icann.org/display/MES/Documents. If your ALS is located in the Middle East and you are not aware or part of the Working Group, I would suggest that you contact: Baher Esmat via baher.esmat(a)icann.org *ICANN Oceania Working Group* The Working Group is tasked with working on and developing a regional strategy for engagement. Noting that there are only 5 ALSes in the whole of Oceania which has 27 countries and territories with ccTLDs assigned to them. Work is ongoing. For ALSes in Oceania who are interested in engaging in the Working Group's activities, kindly contact: Save Vocea via save.vocea(a)icann.org Calls are scheduled every fortnight on Wednesdays and we have a call this week. Kind Regards, Sala

Request for Information on Contact Data Validation and Verification Systems (Available Until 7 March 2014)
by Salanieta T. Tamanikaiwaimaro Feb. 7, 2014

Feb. 7, 2014

Dear All, Apologies if you have received this already. Relevant announcement below: Regards, Sala ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: ICANN At-Large Staff <staff(a)atlarge.icann.org> Date: Sat, Feb 8, 2014 at 10:02 AM Subject: [ALAC-Announce] ICANN News Alert -- Request for Information on Contact Data Validation and Verification Systems (Available Until 7 March 2014) [http://www.icann.org/images/gradlogo_bow.jpg]<http://www.icann.org/> News Alert http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-07feb14-en.htm ________________________________ Request for Information on Contact Data Validation and Verification Systems (Available Until 7 March 2014) 7 February 2014 ICANN is publishing a Request for Information (RFI)< http://www.icann.org/en/news/rfps/contact-data-validation-rfi-07feb14-en.pdf> [PDF, 395 KB] to identify any commercially-available services and software that might be capable of validating or verifying domain name registration contact data (such as WHOIS). This RFI is intended to inform two distinct ICANN projects that require address validation and verification. The first project relates to a near-term need for postal address cross-field validation services arising out of requirements applicable to those registrars who have signed the new 2013 Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA Project). In addition, ICANN is seeking similar information for a separate longer term project in connection with Expert Working Group on Next Generation gTLD Directory Services ("EWG") recommendations to identify a replacement to the current WHOIS system. The EWG is now developing recommendations for a new system that could better meet global Internet community needs for domain name registration data while offering greater privacy, accuracy, and accountability (EWG Project). Purpose of RFI The purpose of this RFI is purely informational - that is, to inform the development of policies and procedures that may follow both of these initiatives. As a result, potential Respondents responding to any future RFP for either the RAA Project or the EWG Project will not be bound by the estimates, prices, or other information provided in response to this RFI. RFI Attributes * RFI Availability Date: 7 February 2014 * The Requirements and Instructions are more fully described in the RFI< http://www.icann.org/en/news/rfps/contact-data-validation-rfi-07feb14-en.pdf> [PDF, 395 KB] * RFI Close Date: 7 March 2014, 23:59 UTC * RFI Language: English only * Responses should be submitted via email to rfi-response(a)icann.org <mailto:rfi-response@icann.org> ICANN greatly appreciates any insights on this topic from those commercial providers interested in sharing information about their services. Background on the RAA Project Registrars who are accredited under the 2013 RAA are currently required to perform limited validation of registration contact data. The agreement envisions< http://www.icann.org/en/resources/registrars/raa/approved-with-specs-27jun1…> that registrars will also perform cross-field validation of address data (e.g., the house number exists on the street, which exists in the city and province, and the postal code is correct). This cross-field validation requirement becomes effective 6 months after ICANN and a working group of registrar volunteers have agreed that cross-field validation is technically and commercially feasible. ICANN has convened the registrar working group that is exploring address validation service options. The RFI published today intended to help inform that working group's work. Background on the EWG Project In December 2012, ICANN announced the creation of an Expert Working Group (EWG) on next-generation gTLD Registration Directory Services, as a first step in fulfilling the ICANN Board's directive to help redefine the purpose and provision of gTLD registration data. The EWG's findings are expected to serve as a foundation to help the GNSO create a new global policy for the provision of gTLD registration data. A significant milestone was reached on 24 June 2013< http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-3-24jun13-en.htm> with the publication < http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-3-24jun13-en.htm> of the Expert Working Group on gTLD Directory Services< http://www.icann.org/en/groups/other/gtld-directory-services> (EWG)'s Initial Report and FAQs, opening a consultation period with the ICANN community. The Initial Report< http://www.icann.org/en/groups/other/gtld-directory-services/initial-report…> [PDF, 1.70 MB] enumerated the users, purposes, data elements, recommended principles and features, and proposed model to guide the development of a next generation Registration Directory Service (RDS) to replace WHOIS. Prior to the ICANN Meeting in Buenos Aires, the EWG published its Status Update Report< http://www.icann.org/en/groups/other/gtld-directory-services/status-update-…> [PDF, 2.26 MB] to highlight the EWG's thinking on these and many other key issues. It also provides a great deal more detail on the analysis that lay behind the Initial Report< http://www.icann.org/en/groups/other/gtld-directory-services/initial-report…> [PDF, 1.70 MB]. The EWG is currently in its research and information gathering phase. This RFI is one of several research efforts that the EWG is currently undertaking to ensure that its final recommendations are supported by facts and informed by current practices. The EWG expects to complete its recommendations in 2014, informed by Community feedback and in-depth analysis of selected areas, including the responses to this RFI. The EWG plans to reconvene in March 2014 to derive fact-based recommendations after carefully examining the results of its research, and expects to deliver its final report to the ICANN Board by June 2014. Questions If questions arise about the RFI regarding the EWG Project, please contact Margie Milam, or Mike Zupke regarding the RAA Project. Any such inquiries should be sent to PP-EWG-Survey(a)icann.org<mailto:PP-EWG-Survey@icann.org>. _______________________________________________ ALAC-Announce mailing list ALAC-Announce(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org https://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/alac-announce At-Large Official Site: http://www.atlarge.icann.org

Announcement: At-Large Board Director Slate of Candidates Selected by the BCEC and Next Steps
by Siranush Vardanyan Feb. 6, 2014

Feb. 6, 2014

Dear APRALO colleagues, In accordance with the agreed schedule for Board Selection (Seat 15) (see the timeline here - https://community.icann.org/display/ABMS/At-Large+Board+Direct+Selection+Ti…) on January 28 ICANN staff officially announced the names of the slate of candidates to fill Seat #15 of the ICANN Board - the official wiki page is here - https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?spaceKey=ABMS&title=At-La…. First of all I would like to congratulate all selected candidates, but particularly Rinalia Abdul Rahim, for being included in the slate from At-Large Board Candidate Evaluation Committee (BCEC), who represents our region. According to the timeline, now it is the time for each RALO to identify additional names if any. Thus, with this e-mail I raise the call on APRALO list to ask whether APRALO members wish to suggest or add any names (out of submitted names, the list you can see below) to be included in the final slate of candidates or should someone's name petitioned for inclusion by us. Please, note, that additional candidates should be OUT of applicants who submitted EOIs but were not selected by the BCEC, meaning from the list of already applied candidates, and the name whom we wish to add should be later supported by two other RALOs. The deadline for identifying new candidates is February 11, but to allow us the sufficient time for further processing, the deadline for this call is February 7, 23:59 UTC. Please, send me directly all your suggestions within the deadline. If no names or objections will be received by February 7, then we will announce that APRALO region has no objections with the final slates of candidates. Thank you very much for your cooperation and looking forward hearing from you.
