Re: [At-Large] [New gTLD RG] [ALAC] gTLD Review Group decisions regarding the comments on objection grounds on the ".book" application by Amazon EU s.a.r.l
by Alan Greenberg Oct. 7, 2012

Sala, two comments. 1. You use the term "sponsoring organizations" (sometimes capitalized). The concept of a "Sponsored" TLD has a very specific meaning in ICANN, referring to some of the TLDs that were delegated in the last decade. I do not believe that the term is used in relation to the new gTLD program. 2. In your last bullet, you make reference to TLD which are not open to general registration of 2nd level domains. The Internet is full of such TLDs, including many ccTLDs with strong restrictions on who can register 2nd (or even 3rd) level names, and a slew of gTLDs with very restrictive registration policies. I am not sure that the situation is so dissimilar in that although these TLDs do allow SOME registrations, they forbid many others. If you are specifically worried about such use of TLDs that are also generic words, that should be explicit. Alan At 07/10/2012 06:26 PM, Salanieta T.

Fwd: Invitation to At-Large / ALAC members to attend NCUC's policy conference in Toronto on Friday 12 October "Security & Freedom in a Connected World"
by Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond Oct. 4, 2012

Oct. 4, 2012

Dear All, I have just received this invitation. Having attended previous conferences organised by the NCUC, I can thoroughly recommend that you go, if you have the ability to arrive in time for Friday 12 October. I have registered and will pass by the conference. All details below. Kind regards, Olivier -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Invitation to At-Large / ALAC members to attend NCUC's policy conference in Toronto on Friday 12 October "Security & Freedom in a Connected World" Date: Thu, 4 Oct 2012 14:58:43 -0700 From: Robin Gross <robin(a)ipjustice.org> To: Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond <ocl(a)gih.com> CC: Brenden Kuerbis <bnkuerbi(a)syr.edu> Dear Olivier: I am writing to invite you and your At-Large / ALAC members to attend NCUC's policy conference in Toronto on Friday 12 October at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel. "ICANN & Internet Governance: Security & Freedom in a Connected World" <http://www.amiando.com/NCUC-ICANN45> < http://www.amiando.com/NCUC-ICANN45 > NCUC hopes the conference sessions will be of some interest to your members and welcomes the attendance and participation of your members at the conference next Friday. Please see the event announcement below, which I invite you to share with your members, and let me know if you have any questions about this event. Thank you very much. Best, Robin ### *Top Civil Society Leaders Converge in Toronto for /"ICANN & Internet Governance: Security and Freedom in a Connected World"/* *Cyber-Security Expert Ron Deibert and new ICANN CEO Fadi Chehade Address Non-Commercial Users Policy Conference on Eve of ICANN #45* - Public interest groups involved in ICANN will gather for the event, "ICANN & Internet Governance: Security & Freedom in a Connected World" <http://www.amiando.com/NCUC-ICANN45> on Friday 12 October at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel in Toronto, Canada. Sponsored by the Noncommercial Users Constituency (NCUC), the voice of civil society in ICANN, the policy conference will focus on key ICANN policy issues like the need to promote both cyber-security and human rights in the development of global Internet policies. The event kicks-off with a morning address from cyber-security expert Ron Deibert, Director of the Canada Centre for Global Security Studies and The Citizen Lab, an inter-disciplinary research and development hothouse at the University of Toronto. Deibert will address the need to establish a cyber-security strategy for global civil society. "Cyberspace is at a watershed moment. Global civil society, now increasingly recognised as an important stakeholder in cyberspace governance, needs to step up to the challenge," said Deibert. "What is required is nothing less than a serious and comprehensive security strategy for cyberspace that addresses the very real threats that plague governments and corporations, addresses national and other security concerns in a forthright manner, while protecting and preserving open networks of information and communication." The afternoon sessions begin with welcoming remarks from Fadi Chehade, ICANN's new Chief Executive Officer, a Lebanese-Egyptian IT entrepreneur, who took the helm of ICANN last month and pronounced he was committed to strengthening the multi-stakeholder process of Internet governance. Additional speakers at NCUC's policy conference include Fiona Alexander from the U.S. Commerce Department and other governmental representatives. The all-day event's four panel sessions include participation from ICANN board members and senior staff, civil society and Internet business leaders. The conference will explore a broad range of ICANN policy issues including privacy concerns related to the whois policy that requires the publication of registrants' personal data and discussion of ongoing negotiations with law enforcement agencies regarding a related policy that privacy authorities have called "unlawful". The geopolitical landscape of Internet governance models and the shifting role of stakeholders will be addressed by experts from around the world. NCUC's conference will also explore policy issues related to controversial new domain names such as protection for freedom of expression in the face of cultural differences and sensitivities. Concerns about intellectual property rights and new top-level domain names remains an area under rapid development and will be ripe for discussion as well as activities related to extra-territorial domain name seizures. Including human rights principles in ICANN policy development will be considered, in addition to ways civil society can become involved in the development of ICANN policies, which impact Internet users worldwide. NCUC represents more than 250 noncommercial organizations and individuals from around the world on ICANN policy matters and was formed in 1999 in Berlin at one of ICANN's earliest meetings. Currently NCUC represents a wide range of non-commercial interests in ICANN policy development including universities and educational institutions, human rights organizations, development, promotion of the arts, children's welfare, scientific research, community networking, and many other non-commercial interests. NCUC participates at ICANN as a constituency within the Non-Commercial Stakeholder Group (NCSG) and the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO), which makes ICANN policy recommendations and selects board members. "The conference subtitle recognizes our shared twin goals of security and freedom, and questions to what extent must we sacrifice one for the other," said meeting organizer Robin Gross of NCUC and IP Justice, a civil liberties organization based in San Francisco. The constituency's 2012 Toronto conference builds on the policy conference NCUC held in 2011 in which craigslist.org founder Craig Newmark addressed the ICANN community in San Francisco. The 2012 conference concludes with an evening reception at the historic Fairmont Royal York overlooking the beautiful Canadian waterfront. The event is free to attend and open the public, but advance registration is required because space is limited. NCUC's conference is held with support from the Brazilian Internet Steering Registry CGI.br, the Public Interest Registry (PIR), and ICANN. Civil Society event partners include The Citizen Lab, the Association for Progressive Communications (APC) and the Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic (CIPPIC) based at the University of Ottawa. Conference sessions will be audiocast live and archived for later downloading, and remote participation will be available from the event's website via Adobe Connect for those not able to travel to Toronto on 12 October.
