Re: [At-Large] Obituary Alain Berranger
by Cintra Sooknanan Feb. 7, 2014

Feb. 7, 2014

Thank you Marie-laure for disseminating this sad news to the wider ICANN community. I will always remember Alain, for his perseverance in ensuring the representation of civil society, NGOs and not for profits within ICANN through NPOC and as a friend of At Large. Even if disagreed with a position he often did so with a smile; indeed I have not met as many in the IG and ICANN space with such level of diplomacy and professionalism. He was a friend and colleague who will be greatly missed. My sincere condolences to his family at this time.

Expressions of Interest will be maintained as confidential. Respondents are urged to read the PICDRP<http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/agb/picdrp-19dec13-en.pdf>[PDF, 208 KB] prior to submitting an Expression of Interest. Background 1. As part of the New gTLD Program, ICANN has put in place the Public Interest Commitment Dispute Resolution Procedure<http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/agb/picdrp-19dec13-en.pdf>[PDF, 208 KB] ("PICDRP") to address reports of a Registry Operator's non-compliance with one or more of the public interest commitments included in Specification 11 of its Registry Agreement with ICANN. 2. During the compliance review and investigation process for a report submitted to ICANN under the PICDRP, ICANN may call upon the Standing Panel to review one or more reports in order to evaluate whether the Registry Operator was or was not in compliance with Specification 11 of the Registry Agreement. Composition of Standing Panel 1. The Standing Panel shall consist of a minimum of three members, with more members to be added as deemed necessary. Not all members of the Standing Panel are necessary to the consideration of each report referred by ICANN. 2. The Standing Panel members should have diversity in geographic and cultural representation. Diversity of experience will be considered in completing the composition of the Panel. Proposed Qualifications of Standing Panel Members 1. In consideration of the scope and areas of expertise required, that Standing Panel members, in the aggregate, should have expertise and significant knowledge in the following (or similar) aspects/areas. 1.

Regulatory background 9. Sociological research experience 10. Contract interpretation experience 11. Licensing experience 12. Cybersecurity 2. Panel members should have demonstrated recognition of expertise and knowledge through high-level positions, peer group recognition, and/or history of publications/presentations on relevant topics. Conflict of Interests All Panel members must be independent from ICANN (i.e., not an ICANN employee; not a member of any ICANN Sponsoring Organization or Advisory Committee; not affiliated with any registrar or registry holding a contract with ICANN). Further, all Panel members must adhere to ICANN's conflicts of interest policy and annually complete a Conflicts of Interest Disclosure Form. Time Commitment 1. To keep the costs and burdens of evaluation as low as possible, absent exceptional circumstances, the Standing Panel is expected to conduct its proceedings by email, by telephone and otherwise via the Internet. 2. It is anticipated that the Standing Panel may start to have matters referred to it by ICANN within one month of the Panel formation. The members of the Standing Panel will be required to review reference and training materials prior to receiving matters such that the Panel members understand the Public Interest Commitments Dispute Resolution Process. For each matter referred, the Standing Panel will be expected to evaluate compliance by the Registry Operator and report its evaluation results to ICANN. The Standing Panel is expected to deliver its evaluation results to ICANN within 15 days of reference by ICANN. 3. At present it is unclear how many matters will be referred to any given Standing Panel member; over time this may become more predictable based on the nature and number of the reports submitted. Fees for Service on Standing Panel Fees to be determined based on, among other things, proposals received. Terms of Standing Panel Member For the purpose of continuity and consistency, the terms of Standing Panel members will be staggered. For a start, the terms of two of the Standing Panel member shall be two (2) years and the term of the third member shall be one (1) year. Subsequent terms of new members and renewal of terms shall be two (2) years and members, with agreement from ICANN, are allowed to renew for a maximum of two (2) terms.

Review on Trusted Community Representation #Root #Zone #DNSSEC [Call for Comments]
by Salanieta T. Tamanikaiwaimaro Feb. 2, 2014

Feb. 2, 2014

Dear All, This is just a friendly reminder in case you missed it that there is an ongoing Review on Trusted Community Representation in Root Zone DNSSEC Key Signing Ceremonies. Grateful if the RALO Chairs could also ask their members for their views. For the benefit of the general community at large and those who have just entered the community, you would have been advised at some point that anyone in At Large can have their say on aspects of Policies either individually as you comment directly on the site to the staff concerned or as we in the At Large community do it through the At Large channels by way of the "Wiki" or through email discussions. If you would like to comment on the Draft Statement currently being developed by the At Large on this matter, visit: https://community.icann.org/display/alacpolicydev/At-Large+Review+of+Truste… If you are finding that you have difficulties posting your comment on the wiki, feel free to respond to this thread and post your thoughts. On the wiki you will see that the Review Team had laid several questions for the public and wider community. This can help guide your comments and to have a fair idea of the areas that they want and value your feedback on. The At Large will close the call for comments on the 7th of February, 2014 so get your thoughts in if you want them factored in. In case you do not have a profile to enable you to post on the Wiki (ICANN Confluence) - please contact At Large staff offline. Kind Regards, Sala
