by Nick Ashton-Hart Dec. 19, 2006

Dec. 19, 2006

Hello everyone! As has been mentioned before, those APAC ALS representatives who were present at the Sao Paulo ICANN meeting felt it would be useful to have the whole community discuss the next steps to forming the APAC RALO, and a time and date which was chosen is as follows: DATE: 19th December TIME: 20:00 Tokyo Time ICANN will provide the teleconference bridge. If you live in one of the countries where a Freephone number is located, you are encouraged to make use of the free call into the bridge. If a freephone number is unavailable, or if you have had problems using it on previous calls, we can arrange for the conference operator to call you. If you wish to be called, please send an email to the wonderful Victoria Tricamo, at victoria.tricamo(a)icann.org, letting her know what the number you wish to be called upon is. Further details about the call will be provided in due course. As promised, and as requested at the Sao Paulo meeting, I am taking the most recent Asia Pacific text of Operating Principles and putting the relevant provisions into the format of a Memorandum of Understanding, so that you can see what provisions remain to be agreed by the APAC ALS community. This should come tomorrow, and will be accompanied by the MoU recently signed by ICANN with the LAC region for comparison purposes.

ALAC Committee - Liaisons to other constituencies and processes
by ICANN At Large Staff Dec. 13, 2006

Dec. 13, 2006

Hello everyone! An interesting discussion has started in the European At-Large community list and considering the nature of the conversation I thought it would be sensible to acquaint those of you not following this discussion (there are many from other regions listening in) with an element of it. For those who are not aware, the At-Large Advisory Committee has the right to appoint a number of liaisons, and in the case of the NomCom, a number of actual members, who participate in the work of the other communities and key working groups and report back to ALAC on what is happening, as well as taking the view of ALAC, and by extension the At-Large community, back to those other constituencies. These positions therefore represent important opportunities for the point of view of the At-Large constituency to be represented, though there are various perspectives about how effective these positions can be, for a whole variety of reasons, which I hope those who have views will express for a more complete and rich debate. A question was raised about who is eligible to fill these positions: members of the ALAC only, or anyone. ICANN's legal staff were asked to provide a view on the subject, and have done so, making clear that since the Bylaws do not require membership in the ALAC in order to, for example, be the ALAC Board Liaison, it is for the ALAC to decide the manner in which these positions are appointed, elected, or otherwise filled. This is in line with ALAC practice, having had Bret Fausett, a non-ALAC member, as GNSO Liaison for some years now. The discussion has moved on to a request that there should be set rules of procedure with respect to these appointments, so that the community could see transparently who was being nominated, how they were being nominated, and on what basis selected. The ALAC did resolve to compile draft procedures relating to these matters, with Vittorio Bertola volunteering to take on this task. There are quite a few liaison positions. The posts are as follows: (5) seats on the Nominating Committee (out of a total of 17 voting members) (1) liaison to the ICANN Board (1) liaison to the GNSO (1) liaison to the ccNSO Additionally the following ad-hoc appointments/liaison positions currently exist: (1) liaison to the IDN Working Group (1) liaison to the WHOIS Working Group (1) liaison to the President's Advisory Committee on IDNs The provisions of the Bylaws with respect to these matters can be found at: http://www.icann.org/general/bylaws.htm. Article XI,s2(4) contains provisions related to the ALAC. Provisions related to the appointment, revocation of appointment, and/or reappointment appear in various places in the Bylaws in respect of the ccNSO and the GNSO, but in both cases, the ALAC may appoint, reappoint, or revoke an appointment, of its liaisons as it pleases and no term is defined for either. Note that there are particular provisions for the Regional At-Large Organisations to provide input into the appointment of the five voting seats on the Nominating Committee - with RALOs in later stages of formation in many regions, you may wish to consider how to provide input to ALAC with respect to these positions in due course. There is one seat per Geographic Region as defined by ICANN. I hope that this email has served to accurately convey the nature of the discussions and introduce (in particular) those who may be new to At-Large to this important subject. -- Regards, Nick Ashton-Hart ICANN At Large Main Tel: +44 (20) 8800-1011] USA Tel: +1 (202) 657-5460 Fax: +44 (20) 7681-3135 mobile: +44 (7774) 932798 email: nashton(a)spamcop.net Win IM: ashtonhart(a)hotmail.com / AIM/iSight: nashtonhart(a)mac.com / Skype: nashtonhart

Franck, What Im thinking about ".tv", it was since 1998, including ".tp" (wich has been changed to ".tl"), and ".cc". Considerations: In my country (".id"), one of the example is http://www.rcti.tv One of the large TV broadcasting station; That my internal affair in my country, one of the company using it, since ".tv" is not an "g-TLD"; If ".tv" as a g-TLD, there will b an opportunity to open more registrars and ICANN has to use their policy; (TV in electronic industry is the most popular one in public globally as Television since 1950s) >Just to give you some ideas.

Confusing me...sorry. >With this environment, and little resources >available to the people of Tuvalu, would you cut >such revenue to a small island state or help them increase this revenue? So, r you agree of misuse of cc-tld commercially?; Globally? and also Monopolistic? How about the idea to re-delegate ".tv" from cc-TLD to g-TLD policy? Then, ICANN open many more registrars all over the world, and Tuvalu got x% from those revenue probably more better revenue than now? If we are still stick on ".tv" as cc-TLD and many countries worldwidely using it, then Tuvalu is going to be an "Only One Global Cyber Country" in this planet. (breach our ISO worldwidely). ISO has to change Tuvalu's prefix as it happened to ".tp" to ".tl".

[Tuvalu]
by Teddy A PURWADI Dec. 11, 2006

Dec. 11, 2006

Hello, Is somebody here has discussed on ".tv" cc-TLD? I raise question here because there are many Internet registrants registered their second_domain of tv for television name not Tuvalu as a name of country. Misuse? or Fraud? Do we have to suggest it to ICANN that misuse of ".tv" as "uknown g-TLD"?. I think we have to discuss it on policy basis. Thanks, -teddyap Ref: https://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/tv.html http://www.icann.org/cctlds/ http://www.iana.org/root-whois/index.html http://www.iana.org/root-whois/tv.htm http://www.iso.org/iso/en/prods-services/iso3166ma/02iso-3166-code-lists/li…
