Message from Rinalia Abdul Rahim - ICANN Board Director Selected by the At-Large
by Program Admin Nov. 17, 2016

Nov. 17, 2016

Dear All, As per request from the Board Candidate Evaluation Committee (BCEC), we are forwarding the message below from Rinalia Abdul Rahim, the ICANN Board Director selected by the At-Large Community. Best regards, Heidi Ullrich, Ariel Liang, Terri Agnew, and Yesim Nazlar At-Large Board Member Selection Program Admin Staff From: <alac-bounces(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org> on behalf of Rinalia Abdul Rahim <rinalia.abdulrahim(a)gmail.com> Date: Thursday, November 17, 2016 at 8:52 PM To: ALAC Working List <alac(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org> Subject: [ALAC] ICANN Board Director Selected by the At-Large Dear members of the At-Large community, I write to let you know that due to personal reasons, I will not be applying for a second term as the At-Large selected Director on the ICANN Board. I encourage those interested in the position to apply. Please excuse the short notice as my family needed the time to discuss the matter with me. I care deeply about the quality of my service to the public interest and to the community. I know that without sufficient time available, I would not be able to do them justice. After the Hyderabad meeting, I became aware of constraints on the time that I will have available to serve effectively in a second term I have received tremendous support and encouragement from the community, board and staff in my years of service. It has made it an absolute joy for me to serve despite the heavy demands on time. I commit to completing my current term with the same level of dedication that I have demonstrated to date, and I urge those interested in carrying the baton forward to apply for the position so that the At-Large may choose from a strong pool of qualified candidates. Thank you so much for your support and faith in me. It has been, and continues to be, my absolute privilege and honour to serve. Sincerely, Rinalia Abdul Rahim ICANN Board Director selected by the At-Large (2014-2017)

What the EFF calls 'shadow regulation', others might call 'backdoor regulation' - it's about restrictions on Internet users that are implemented by non-legislative means, such as messing with the DNS. This is at 9pm NYC time. joly posted: "Today Wednesday November 16 2016 the Internet Society San Francisco Bay Area Chapter (SFBayISOC) will present Shadow Regulation. keynote speakers from the EFF, Mitch Stoltz and Jeremy Malcolm will be taking us through Shadow Regulation and discussing the " [image: Livestream] <https://livestream.com/internetsociety/SFBayISOC>Today *Wednesday November 16 2016* the *Internet Society San Francisco Bay Area Chapter <http://www.sfbayisoc.org/>* (SFBayISOC) will present *Shadow Regulation <https://www.eventbrite.com/e/sf-bay-area-isoc-chapter-event-shadow-regulati…>*. keynote speakers from the EFF, *Mitch Stoltz* and *Jeremy Malcolm* will be taking us through Shadow Regulation and discussing the regulation of Internet content through ICANN and the domain name system (DNS).

Is the .FOOD poisoned?
by Evan Leibovitch Nov. 16, 2016

Nov. 16, 2016

Hi all, One of the most recent gTLDs to be released has already been declared "evil" before it even launches. The .FOOD gTLD is what's called a "closed generic"; that is, its subdomains are not for sale through the usual registrar channel to the public. Its use is controlled by the company that owns the "Food Network" on television in the US and elsewhere, and already has "food.com". This article in DomainIncite <http://domainincite.com/21271-food-goes-live-and-its-a-closed-generic> calls the designation of .food as a closed generic to be " one of the new gTLD program’s biggest failures ". I'm not sure I agree. Outside of domain sellers and would-be speculators who will be denied their transactions, will anyone in the outside world -- who will never know of the missed "opportunity" -- even care? After all, hundreds of alternative TLDs already exist, and my instincts suggest that gastronomic-minded registrants would still prefer a dot-com name first if they could get it.... Personally, I would go so far as to suggest that such closed TLDs could even be a good thing. Among a sea of conventional TLDs used for essentially identical functions, a closed generic -- unbound from the shackles of having to sell through registrars -- could actually bring some real innovation to the DNS. Using subdomains as a catalog or archiving index, with a consistent interface throughout the TLD, could be an interesting experiment. And you won't likely find scammers and spammers under a closed gTLD so it might actually gain more public trust than conventional "open" ones.... I'm curious to know the opinion of others. Personally, in this case I am happy to support the status quo and wish Scripps Networks luck in doing something out of the ordinary. And I would oppose any efforts to get At-Large to take a stand against this opportunity. Thank you. -- Evan Leibovitch Geneva, CH Em: evan at telly dot org Sk: evanleibovitch Tw: el56
