Fwd: [EURO-Discuss] EURALO Delhi report 3

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Wolf Ludwig <wolf.ludwig(a)comunica-ch.net> Date: 2008/02/13 17:05 Subject: [EURO-Discuss] EURALO Delhi report 3 To: Europe disc at large <euro-discuss(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org> Hi all, Yesterday (Tuesday) morning we had a meeting of the At-Large Regional Secretariats discussing all kinds of pending questions that have been listed in Los Angeles (Nov. 07) and should be solved in the coming months. A focus was improvement of information that ICANN provides to its regional organisations (RALOs) to be passed on to their respective At-Large structures to enhance participation. Immediately afterwards we met some of the board members for an exchange of information and opinions. There had been other interesting cross constituency meetings such as preparation of today's GNSO Council session and a conference on "IT success of India" with four leading Indian business managers. In the afternoon ALAC met with Robin representing the Non-commercial Users Constituency (NCUC – of the Generic Names Supporting Organization, GNSO) discussing common concerns and exchanging view points. All those who haven't had enough so far could just follow the rest of the Board meeting with the GAC. The focus of this open meeting was on the midterm review of the JPA and what transition to the private sector will look like for ICANN. The complete schedule for ICANN's 31st meeting, as well as links to webcast sessions and our public participation website, can be found at: http://delhi.icann.org/.

Re: [APAC-Discuss] [At-Large] Regional Outreach Meeting to be held in April 2008 in Dubai
by Nick Ashton-Hart Feb. 13, 2008

Feb. 13, 2008

Thanks very much for your comments (and those of others on this topic). I do have a bit more information now which I can share. Firstly, during the first day session when the multistakeholder model in ICANN is discussed, an invitation will be transmitted to the new Chair of APRALO, Bilal Beiram, to attend and speak from the At-Large perspective - I do not believe that this invitation has yet been issued; it is worth noting that we are trying to provide the region and the community with the latest information about this event as soon as we can - and in fact in advance of it even being posted - so that the planning can be as inclusive as possible of the community. We would of course ask your indulgence as by giving you the 'latest and greatest' we are speaking about an event that is still being planned, so some elements may change in some respects as things progress. As I mentioned, the meeting was organised in response to requests from various communities for information on the state-of-the-art in respect of a couple of areas of policy in particular, those being IDNs and New GTLDs - there is and was no attempt or thought to exclude anyone or any perspective, but rather the opposite - ICANN is responding to requests and the meeting is being tailored around those requests. I hope you will all appreciate this sort of 'demand-driven' response to requests of this kind. I understand that Bilal can expect to be in regular contact with relevant staff as the event's organisation progresses. I hope that you will all find that the planning in the case of this meeting responds to some of the issues that the At-Large community expressed related to the Taipei regional meeting's organisation. Of course further information will come as soon as I have it.

URGENT: Signers for tomorrow
by Nick Ashton-Hart Feb. 13, 2008

Feb. 13, 2008

Could each of you who is present in New Delhi please ensure that 1) If you are signing tomorrow, I have your name correctly below for the document; 2) If you are signing tomorrow, that the name of your ALS below is correct for the document 2) If your name does NOT appear below and you are an ALS, that you send me your name and your organisations's name as you wish it to appear on the document. REMOTE PARTICIPATION: I very much regret to tell you that remote participation via teleconference is at best very problematic. I am truly sorry about this but unfortunately I am unable to do anything to help the situation. I recommend that you listen to the audio stream and video stream of the event rather than try to connect to the teleconference links. There will be a running order of events for the ceremony posted shortly this morning - I will forward it and the online link to it as soon as it is posted. I will also post a version of the text which will be signed tomorrow online shortly too. It is identical in all respects to the version electronically signed by your ALSes with the exception of the signature line, which recognises that you have already signed and are reaffirming that previous signature. Surname Forename ALS Name Aizu Izumi Internet Users Network Allinson Les Pacific Islands Chapter of the Internet Society Beiram Bilal Arab Knowledge and Management Society Chung Edmon Internet Society Hong Kong Farrar David Internet NZ Langdon-Orr Cheryl The Internet Society of Australia -- Regards, Nick Ashton-Hart Director, At-Large ICANN Tel: +33 (450) 40 46 88 USA Tel: +1 (202) 657-5460 Fax: +41 (22) 595 85 44 mobile: +41 (79) 595 54 68 email: nick.ashton-hart(a)icann.org Win IM: ashtonhart(a)hotmail.com / AIM/iSight: nashtonhart(a)mac.com / Skype: nashtonhart Online Bio: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashtonhart

Re: [APAC-Discuss] [At-Large] slides on new gtld recommendations
by Annette Muehlberg Feb. 12, 2008

Feb. 12, 2008

Dear Alan, sure, I am happy to forward your message to the regional lists. best Annette ----- Original Message ----- From: Alan Greenberg To: Annette Muehlberg ; At-Large ; Europe disc at large ; lac-discuss(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org ; afri-discuss(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org ; Asia-Pacific Discuss ; NA Discuss Sent: Sunday, February 10, 2008 6:45 PM Subject: Re: [At-Large] slides on new gtld recommendations Annette, your citations are taken out of context, and made worse by poor wording on the slide. The heading of the list on slide 12 was "Examples of narrow exceptions under consideration: where to draw the line?". From discussion (transcript is or will be posted), it was clear that this list was a summary of the types of restrictions on free speech found in various national laws. It was clear that this total list was not what ICANN would use to screen gTLDs. Perhaps we may not be happy when we see what ICANN staff finally recommends to the Board, but it is unfair to characterize the list on the slide as such. The title line could have been clearer. Since I am not on all of these LAC, AFRI, APAC and EURO lists, I presume this message will bounce. I would appreciate it if you would forward this to them.

Fwd: [EURO-Discuss] EURALO Delhi report 2
by Izumi AIZU Feb. 12, 2008

Feb. 12, 2008

FYI ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Wolf Ludwig <wolf.ludwig(a)comunica-ch.net> Date: 2008/02/12 12:33 Subject: [EURO-Discuss] EURALO Delhi report 2 To: Europe disc at large <euro-discuss(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org> Hi all, This morning we had the official Opening Ceremony: The New Delhi meeting is the first of the three public ICANN meetings in 2008. Afterwards in the Public Forum - President's Report and Comments: "This year is an important one for the future of ICANN. The U.S. government is in the middle of its Midterm Review of its Joint Project Agreement with ICANN, and we're arguing it's time to take the final step to originally envisioned private sector model for ICANN," said Peter Dengate Thrush, ICANN's Board Chairman. "In fact the public comment period closes on the final day of this meeting – so we expect plenty of discussion about this in New Delhi, and we will be encouraging everyone who believes in the ICANN model of coordination not control to make their thoughts known." "There wlll be key discussions at the New Delhi meting about our ongoing work to develop a new application and approval model for new generic top-level domains or gTLDs, and our work on Internationalized Domain Names or IDNs, which will mean the languages and scripts of most of the world could be used to write domain names," said Dr Paul Twomey, ICANN's President and CEO. There was a question from Wolfgang (by remote participation) asking for the future of At-Large at ICANN and the Summit which is supposed to happen in June 08 in Paris. The question was repeated by Sébastien. But there was no answer or comment neither from Paul Twomey nor from Peter Dengate Thrush. Whether the planed Summit will happen in Paris is still uncertain and no ICANN representative wanted to expose himself on this question. Public Discussion / JPA Review session Peter Dengate Trush gave a presentation on ICANN's submission to the US government over the JPA midterm review. ICANN's view is that the JPA should be concluded. In the afternoon Workshop we had an Update on Internet Governance and the last IGF with Nikin Dessai and Markus Kummer (what seems to be a new step towards peaceful coexistence ;-). The last part of the afternoon programme was a controversial debate on IDN (Progress on the Fast-Track Process for Introduction of a Limited Number of IDN ccTLDs). Discussions around IDNs will include two workshops, one on the Fast-Track Process to find a way to represent territory identifications in local languages as country-code top-level domains as quickly as possible in the areas of highest need, and another on the pioneering work India is doing on IDNs in Indian Languages and Scripts. The complete schedule for ICANN's 31st meeting, as well as links to webcast sessions and our public participation website, can be found at: http://delhi.icann.org/.
