NTIA - Legally Enforceable Code of Conduct on Consumer Privacy
by Carlton Samuels March 21, 2012

March 21, 2012

The NTIA [An agency of the U.S. DoC] is seeking comments on the issues that will help it to decide whether the time for enforceable codes of conduct on consumer privacy is now and, if so, what are the procedures required to develop such codes. Here's the notice: http://www.ntia.doc.gov/federal-register-notice/2012/multistakeholder-proce… Its open until March 26, 2012. Maybe we should extract some elements of our WHOIS Statement and adopt them for comments? - Carlton ============================== Carlton A Samuels Mobile: 876-818-1799 *Strategy, Planning, Governance, Assessment & Turnaround* =============================

Fwd: [CIVIC] Greater use of ICTs in education encouraged (Barbados)
by Salanieta T. Tamanikaiwaimaro March 16, 2012

March 16, 2012

Dear All, For those of you who are in San Jose, it has been great to meet you all. I would like to share some things we can learn from Barbados, see below: ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Yacine Khelladi <yacine(a)yacine.net> Date: Fri, Mar 16, 2012 at 9:51 AM Subject: [CIVIC] Greater use of ICTs in education encouraged (Barbados) To: "Caribbean ICT stakeholders Virtual Community (CIVIC)" < civic(a)dgroups.org> Greater use of ICTs in education encouraged http://www.barbadosadvocate.**com/newsitem.asp?more=local&**NewsID=23453<http://www.barbadosadvocate.com/newsitem.asp?more=local&NewsID=23453> 3/16/2012 Transforming education through technology will require emphasis on learning how to create, how to collaborate and how to communicate in education without neglecting the content. That is according to one of the directors of Caribbean Online Academy, Dr. Lora Woodwall, who delivered the featured address at the Ministry of Education’s Barbados Technology in Education conference which opened yesterday morning at the Lloyd Erskine Sandiford Centre. “Information and Communications Technology (ICT) can help to transform education by helping us to create, collaborate and communicate differently and more effectively. However, in order to do this, we need to recognise that a clear vision needs to be communicated, a strategic plan developed and explicated and most importantly, people need to be at the forefront of that change,” said Dr. Woodwall. She stated that educational leaders, educators and students all have a critical role to play in the transformation of education and technology. “The question is not whether technology can transform education, but rather are we willing to make the changes that are necessary? Changes in the way we manage education, changes in the way that we teach, changes in the way that our students learn...” Dr. Woodwall noted that for change to occur in the Caribbean, “We need to inform the powers that be, that it is not our regard, if this is the case, to have a system that is so examination driven but that takes a whole society to say we want a different way of education. That is a huge cultural change and that is going to take awhile to happen but it can happen.” She said that the other way this is possible is to use technology to achieve the same aim. “Barbados is highly regarded in the Caribbean and the wider world for its education system even though that has been largely content driven, that does not mean that you should throw out that whole way of looking at things and adopt a completely new way. I think there is room for combination, so that we can make sure that our students still know the critical content but that we have the critical thinking and research skills that they need,” said Dr. Woodwall. According to her, teachers will also need to work on locating and adapting material to tailor the resources to the needs of Caribbean students. She added that students need to be taught how to effectively search for information online and how to evaluate the resources that they find. Dr. Woodwall stressed that educators are key to the integration of ICTs in the education system and any changes must have their involvement and support. This, she said, would require teachers to have the necessary knowledge and skills and understand the role of technology in teaching and learning. The conference runs for three days and is free to the public. It includes an exhibition displaying various institutions that work with technology, which many primary school students enjoyed viewing yesterday morning.

Re: [At-Large] Guidance for Domain Name Orders
by Lutz Donnerhacke March 15, 2012

March 15, 2012

Hi Dave, I'm shocked about you paper: http://tinyurl.com/icann-supports-censorship What the hell is the reason behind drafting such a collection of (at least) misleading forms? Your wording in the preface is completely irrelevant: It will be ignored. The only thing pushed into the brains of law enforcement and politics is the simple message: "ICANN is willing to support all your needs. Fill those forms. No further questions asked." For technical people the paper might be not directly wrong, but it is a political nightmare. By fulfilling your technically motivated desire to automate repeating tasks, you did implement the wrong solution. ICANN has the obligation to protect the Internet by maintaining stable and secure provisioning of basic ressources. This is the main task ICANN has to fulfill due by various contracts, especially the §3 of the Articles of Incorporation as well as §3(b) of the Affirmation of Commitments. Your paper draws the wrong solution, because it ignores this basic principle and opens the road to rank indiviual interests higher than the public interest in a single common Internet. Given the political implications, your paper is a direct violation of §5(b) and §5(c) of the Articles of Incorporation as well as §4 of the Affirmation of Commitments. Please let me quote from the legal document mentioned last: To ensure that its decisions are in the public interest, and not just the interests of a particular set of stakeholders, ICANN commits to perform and publish analyses of the positive and negative effects of its decisions on the public, including any financial impact on the public, and the positive or negative impact (if any) on the systemic security, stability and resiliency of the DNS. Your paper causes a strong impact to the creditability of ICANN. Sadly, Lutz

Dear Staff, Grateful if you could clarify whether the Schedule<http://costarica43.icann.org/full-schedule>via is the updated version as there is no At Large Improvements Task Force that in one of the programmes and handouts mentions that it is at 5:00pm-7:30pm at the Girasol. The flier (hard copy) says that this starts at 4:00pm which is one hour earlier than what is in the Schedule<http://costarica43.icann.org/full-schedule> .
