June 7, 2014

FYI - please be so kind to find the final report of the Expert Working Group (EWG) on gTLD Directory Services. As explained in the message below, this working group has explored the next-generation Registration Directory Service (RDS) as an alternative to today's WHOIS. Through the publication of this final report, I would like to thank Carlton Samuels, Chair of our WHOIS WG (now folded in the Registration Issues WG), for his extensive work in this area. The result is a significant milestone in the future of Registration Directory Services! If you are interested in the topics raised in this report, please contact staff(a)atlarge.icann.org to get added to the At-Large Registration Issues WG. Kind regards, Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond ALAC Chair -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Expert Working Group on gTLD Directory Services (EWG) Final Report Date: Sat, 7 Jun 2014 10:36:22 -0700 From: Denise Michel <denise.michel(a)icann.org> To: Jonathan Robinson, GNSO Council <jonathan.robinson(a)ipracon.com>, GNSO groups <liaison6c(a)gnso.icann.org>, Olivier Crepin Leblond <ocl(a)gih.com>, Patrik Faltstrom, SSAC Chair <paf(a)frobbit.se>, heather.dryden(a)ic.gc.ca <heather.dryden(a)ic.gc.ca> CC: expertworkinggroup(a)icann.org <expertworkinggroup(a)icann.org>, Marika Konings <marika.konings(a)icann.org>, Mary Wong <mary.wong(a)icann.org>, Glen de Saint Géry <gnso-secretariat(a)gnso.icann.org>, Heidi Ullrich <Heidi.Ullrich(a)icann.org>, Steve Sheng <steve.sheng(a)icann.org>, Olof Nordling <olof.nordling(a)icann.org> Dear All: The Expert Working Group on gTLD Directory Services (EWG) has issued their Final Report <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/final-report-06jun14-en.pdf>. Given your group's interest in this topic, I wanted to bring this to your attention, along with the public sessions the EWG has scheduled at the ICANN London meeting: * An introduction to the Final Report: EWG Overview of Final Report <http://london50.icann.org/en/schedule/mon-ewg-final-overview>, Monday, 23 June, 1515 -- 1615 * Two cross-community discussion sessions: o EWG Final Report Discussion Session <http://london50.icann.org/en/schedule/mon-ewg-final-discussion>, Monday, 23 June, 1700 - 1900 o EWG Final Report Discussion Session <http://london50.icann.org/en/schedule/wed-ewg-final-discussion>, Wednesday, 25 June, 0800 -- 1000 The Final Report fulfills the ICANN Board's directive to help redefine the purpose and provision of gTLD registration data, and provides a foundation to help the ICANN community (through the GNSO) create a new global policy for gTLD directory services. This report represents the culmination of an intense 15 month period of work during which this diverse group of volunteers <https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/gtld-directory-services-2013-02-14-en> created an alternative to today's WHOIS to better serve the global Internet community -- a next-generation Registration Directory Service (RDS). The EWG looks forward to discussing this with the ICANN community. Thank you for sharing this notice broadly. Regards, Denise Denise Michel VP Strategic Initiatives ICANN denise.michel(a)icann.org

Comments from Jean-Jacques Subrenat - Community call - Enhancing ICANN Accountability
by At-Large Staff June 5, 2014

June 5, 2014

Dear All, Jean-Jacques Subrenat will not be available today for the Community call today on Enhancing ICANN Accountability, scheduled Thursday 5 June 2014 at 2000 UTC. He has however, sent through the following contribution. Thank you. Kind regards, Gisella ------------- I would like to contribute to the discussion by elaborating a bit on the chapters I suggested for this discussion, 2.a the environment that the Internet and ICANN operate in; 2.b the positions of important actors in ICANN's accountability; 2.d potential proposals and actions from ALAC in the new context. I would be grateful if you would kindly circulate my remarks (below) in advance of tonight's Community Call: 2.a) THE ENVIRONMENT THAT THE INTERNET AND ICANN OPERATE IN. - While the technical and operational requirements remain crucial for the Internet (security, reliability, capacity for scaling), one of the big challenges is now Internet governance in all its complexity. - To remain meaningful, the multi-stakeholder model needs to evolve. Historically, the domain name business has been a driving force, but now it is time to - clarify the respective roles of stakeholders, including of sovereign states, - place the Internet user perspective at the centre of any reform. 2.b) THE POSITIONS OF IMPORTANT ACTORS IN ICANN'S ACCOUNTABILITY. Very schematically, - the Snowden revelations have made global Internet users aware of their fundamental rights, and the reasons put forward by public authority to lessen or negate those rights (terrorism, child pornography). The Snowden files have also amplified the call for the globalization of the Internet and its management (making ICANN more global, oversight of the IANA function...). - Without the Snowden revelations, Washington may or may not have brought forward the transfer of the oversight of the IANA function. So it is important to understand the motivation of the USG, and the choices available to Washington. - In the same manner, it is important to understand the motivation and options available to other "large" actors: Brazilia, Beijing, Moscow... - More than ever, Internet governance now requires general guidelines (the ones formulated in NetMundial can be used as a draft), and a commitment by sovereign states to actually implement them. How can ICANN achieve this? 2.d) POTENTIAL PROPOSALS AND ACTIONS FROM ALAC IN THIS CONTEXT. Suggestions: - Have a hard look at the achievements of ALAC since its inception, by reviewing - the real influence of ALAC comments and/or statements on the orientation of ICANN? - number of ALSs vs. their effective impact (local feedback, user needs)? - how can ALAC better represent the rights and requirements of Internet users? - Could a renovated ALAC agenda be implemented under the current Bylaws? - Must ALAC's work be restricted to ICANN processes only, or include the wider perspective of the global Internet users? - What improvements can ALAC propose to preserve and enhance the MSM? - What are/should be the next strategic objectives of ALAC? One or several more Board members originating from its ranks? A new arrangement of ICANN's ACs and SOs?
