ISOC-NY Panel on Public Interest Commitments
by Thomas Lowenhaupt Nov. 30, 2014

Nov. 30, 2014

At-Large, Next month (December) ISOC-NY is sponsoring a panel on the topic of Public Interest Commitments. At this point there will be three segments to the panel: * General introduction and update on PICs and their role and status at ICANN. * A look at the .pharmacy TLD and its possible on American health. * Finally, City-PICs will take a look at the 2,000 Premium Names that have been set aside for .nyc and the prospect of getting PICs linked into some or all of them, e.g. require local news on news.nyc. If anyone has a contribution to make in preparation for the panel, especially if you know of people in the city who have focused on the issue and might be willing to participate, please let me know. Best, Tom Lowenhaupt P.S. It will be streamed. And if you're nearby, there's a holiday party connected.

VIDEO: ICANN, .nyc, and Multistakeholder Innovation – November 24 2014
by Joly MacFie Nov. 26, 2014

Nov. 26, 2014

Earlier in the week Fadi Chehadé was in NYC and, thanks to Veni Markovski and Gale Brewer, we were able to have a brief meeting. It was about half about NYC's own TLD and and half about general ICANN issues. One interesting factoid emerged - in the .nyc landrush auctions the top bidding was for marijuana.nyc which went for circa $60k! Gale promised that we would soon see the promised public hearings on the TLD. Later we had an opportunity to take Fadi to task on his NetMundial maneuvering not all of which, as you know, has met with unanimous approval. Ever ebullient, he insists everything is coming along just fine, but did appear to distance the NMI from the WEF. He also mentioned that China had decided not to do the splinternet thing. As always, our deaf/hoh members - not to mention those who are time challenged - would very much appreciate it if volunteers could step up to do some transcribing, even if it's only on the short clips. joly posted: "On Monday November 24 2014 ICANN President and CEO Fadi Chehadé met with NYC community at the office of Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer.

In the second part Fadi Chehadi spoke briefly about the major challenges to ICANN and the multistakeholder model, including the IANA transition and the development of the NetMundial initiative. Fadi had just returned from the World Internet Conference in Wuzhen, where he had received assurances from that country's leadership of their continuing engagement with the global Internet and its evolving governance processes.

WEBCAST TODAY: The United Nations and the Internet—What’s Next – A Recap of the ITU Plenipotentiary
by Joly MacFie Nov. 19, 2014

Nov. 19, 2014

This starts in a few minutes. The ITU Plenipot is the telecom policy equivalent of a marathon, a solid 3 weeks of intense wonking. We will hear today from some of the delegates about how it went. As a prelim read up Kathy Brown's Final Reflections on Plenipot 14 <http://www.internetsociety.org//blog/public-policy/2014/11/final-reflection…> joly posted: " Today, Wednesday 19 November 2014 the Greater Washington DC Chapter of the Internet Society (ISOC-DC) presents The United Nations and the Internet—What’s Next – A Recap of the #ITU Plenipotentiary .

Every four years, the members of the UN’s International Telecommunication Union (ITU) hold a Plenipotentiary conference to set goals, determine the ITU’s budget, and elect officers. This three-week meeting, held in Busan, Korea, ended in early November and attracted more attention than usual because of several proposals to give governments more control over the operations of Internet (e.g. routing, IP address allocation, and Internet domain names). Many fear these could enable censorship, violate privacy and limit innovation. Other, less controversial initiatives discussed in Busan would support the growth of broadband in developing countries, make the ITU more inclusive and transparent, and provide better information on how to make networks more secure and robust. This audience participation event will voice many different perspectives on the ITU and its role in shaping the future of the Internet. Discussion Leaders: *Fiona Alexander*, Associate Administrator for International Affairs, NTIA; *Leslie Martinkovics*, Director of International Public Policy and Regulatory Affairs, Verizon; *Carolina Rossini*, Vice President, International Policy and Strategy, Public Knowledge; Moderator;* Sally Wentworth*, Vice President of Global Public Policy Development, The Internet Society.

Here is Google Doc document I share with you guys. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vYdPeOrnWRuGbjbXStAeQHJ3BcbQ0j_ARw20eqc… The Wi-Fi connection in the conference venue is not always stable.
