Reminder - Important - Available Travel Slots for ICANN63
by ICANN At-Large Staff July 17, 2018

July 17, 2018

Dear All, Please see below a note from Alan Greenberg, ALAC Chair, regarding available travel slots for ICANN63. ** The ALAC has several travel slots available for the ICANN63 meeting in Barcelona from 20-25 October 2018<https://meetings.icann.org/en/barcelona63>. There are two travel slots that will be allocated to At-Large participants who are ACTIVELY involved in some ICANN policy activity, or those with a strong history of such involvement in the past and an interest to restart. Those include gNSO or ccNSO PDPs, CCWGs, ALAC support Working Groups and the At-Large Review (with a lesser emphasis on the latter). Other slots may be opened due to other travellers not being able to attend or not requiring full funding. If you are interested in being considered for one of these travel slots, please complete the following survey: https://goo.gl/forms/IruNuvaXpZdKLjCs2 [goo.gl]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__goo.gl_forms_IruNuvaXp…> We have a very short time in which to finalize our traveler list, so replies are due no later than 23:59 UTC on Thursday 19 July 2018.

Call for comments
by Alan Greenberg July 17, 2018

July 17, 2018

As I hope you are all aware, due to the European General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), access to some gTLD Domain Name registrant information (WHOIS) is being restricted. Traditionally, for a registrant who did not use a proxy service a WHOIS Query would reveal their full name, address, phone number and e-mail address. If you do a lookup for one of my addresses today you will see almost nothing! Try looking up alangreenberg.org at https://whois.icann.org. This increases privacy for some registrants and also makes information harder to access for those who currently use WHOIS. There are serious monetary fines associated with GDPR, so compliance is important. In addressing the new regulations, there has been a lot of discussion within ICANN over the last year. A GNSO Policy Development Process (PDP) started about 2 years ago which should have provided a new system (now called a Registration Directory Service (RDS) instead of WHOIS), but unfortunately that process has not completed in sufficient time. As a result, to meet the GDPR deadline of 25 May 2018, the ICANN Board implemented a Temporary Specification Policy to allow us and our contracted parties (Registrars and Registries) to be GDPR-compliant. That temporary policy must be replaced by a permanent one within one year - a VERY short time for ICANN policy development. The GNSO is starting an Expedited PDP which can complete faster than a regular PDP. The ALAC is being given two Members in the this group. We need to establish what our guiding principles are. Please visit https://community.icann.org/x/_YlHBQ, read what others think, and contribute your thoughts on what positions we should be taking. Alan
