Fwd: Re: [Chapter-delegates] New version of ICANN At-Large Review - ISOC Chapters role and future
by Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond April 6, 2017

April 6, 2017

Dear all, FYI -- a response from me, to a thread that came up on the ISOC Chapter leaders mailing list. The topic is specifically the downgrading of At-Large Structures by equalling them to individual membership. With many chapters as At-Large Structures, the Internet Society Chapters would be affected. BTW -- as part of the At-Large Review working group, I submitted over 100 comments on the original document that was presented by the consultants to the Review working group. It appears that most of my comments were ignored. I plan to comment further - when I find the time to do so - and would be happy to contribute to an ALAC comment. Kindest regards, Olivier ps. I admit that I am one of the "big-mouthed" people. :-) -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Re: [Chapter-delegates] New version of ICANN At-Large Review - ISOC Chapters role and future Date: Sun, 5 Feb 2017 01:37:05 +0100 From: Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond <ocl(a)gih.com> To: Alejandro Pisanty <apisanty(a)gmail.com>, Richard Hill <rhill(a)hill-a.ch> CC: ISOC Chapter Delegates <chapter-delegates(a)elists.isoc.org> On 04/02/2017 21:01, Alejandro Pisanty wrote: > Problems like capture by a few individuals will not be solved and in > fact most likely will be aggravated by the "enhanced membership model." The Review carries anonymous quotes from people who dislike the fact that At-Large and the ALAC are standing in their way to turn ICANN into a domain name business association. Bringing the input of Internet end users to ICANN's technically and legally super-complex processes is a very hard task indeed. I know - I chaired that process for 4 years and to say that it was challenging is an understatement. But the current structure of At-Large which has several tiers for hierarchy of "control" but an entirely open bottom-up model where everybody is allowed to attend any meeting or call and to participate and to voice their opinion, actually provides for a stable environment with stable processes which can actually help in reaching consensus and getting the ALAC to act. That is exactly the thing that bothers other parts of ICANN: that the ALAC is slowly but surely, over time, surmounting the largest hurdle to a multi-stakeholder system which is to get the input of the real end users out there - and that it is doing so with renewed harmony and proven bottom-up processes. Instead, as Alejandro mentions, the Review asks for a return to an unstable, free for all, system based only on individual members speaking for themselves only, a system that was shown to fail miserably as it generates conflict with no safeguards whatsoever and favours those with a bigger mouth than anyone else. The ICANN version 1 experiment failed noticeably in the early 2000s, with ballot stuffing in wide practice and mailing lists that were filled with flame wars fuelled by socio-paths. I remember that so well: having been subscribed to the early DNSO (Domain Name Support Association) mailing list, I quickly got sick of the daily dose of venom from psychos that should have been interned, un-subscribed myself and, after the failed At-Large elections which I predicted were going to fail, removed myself completely from having anything to do with ICANN until it had a meeting in Paris in 2008. The Review is deeply flawed in that it is not an analysis of At-Large and the ALAC. On the contrary, it is a collection of opinions, many of them deeply flawed or factually wrong, and recommendations derived from these flawed opinions. Good opinions of At-Large were ditched and only criticism was kept, whether warranted or unwarranted. It is a lynching of reality and I give it as much truth as the flawed populist campaigns the world has recently seen, thus predicting an equally gruesome future for At-Large. By following the mantra "Let's make At-Large great again", the reviewers are actually proposing to kill it. Kindest regards, Olivier (own opinions) _______________________________________________ As an Internet Society Chapter Officer you are automatically subscribed to this list, which is regularly synchronized with the Internet Society Chapter Portal (AMS): https://portal.isoc.org

ICANN Complaint System Circumvented
by gbruen＠knujon.com March 14, 2017

March 14, 2017

Dear ALAC Leadership and the greater community, I am submitting the following memorandum for your consideration: http://knujon.com/DONT_analysisoficannwdprs.pdf What you will find in this document is an analysis of the ICANN complaint system (WDPRS). The analysis uses one criminally-used domain with false WHOIS as an example to better understand the issues with ICANN policy and procedure. In short, the ICANN WDPRS has been effectively circumvented by the owners of this criminal domain. The domain has had 3 different sets of false WHOIS and simply transferred their domain each time a complaint was filed. The domain had been transferred to 4 different registrars and is currently operating selling narcotics. In short, the current system has failed in its intent and the criminals now know how to get around enforcement. The problem is in the contract and in the compliance procedures. This is related to the earlier studies I have released to the list. I will be presenting at the joint session of the Public Safety Working Group (PSWG) and the Verified TLD (vTLD) constituency on Tuesday 14 March from 18:30 to 19:30 in Hall B4.1. I invite all comments and will be talking about this in meetings. Apologies for any cross-posting. -Garth -- Garth Bruen gbruen(a)knujon.com 617-947-3805 http://www.knujon.com ICANN At-Large Advisory Council Author: WHOIS Running the Internet http://www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-1118679555.html
