by Carlton Samuels Feb. 12, 2015

Feb. 12, 2015

Very commendable, the establishment of the WGs mentioned in Items 9 & 10; Human Rights, et. al. Certainly a better process to triage the knotty political and other issues inherent to those matters. -Carlton ============================== Carlton A Samuels Mobile: 876-818-1799 *Strategy, Planning, Governance, Assessment & Turnaround* ============================= https://gacweb.icann.org/download/attachments/27132037/GAC_SINGAPORE52_COMM…

by Joly MacFie Feb. 5, 2015

Feb. 5, 2015

By now we should all be aware of the excellent work ISOC's Deploy 360 team do to spread Internet expertise around the globe. Today, they adventure into new ground by, rather than webcasting, using Zoom to enable remote participation in their Trinidad & Tobago event.

ATRT2 Implementation Program Update
by Carlton Samuels Feb. 2, 2015

Feb. 2, 2015

You might find some details of this report of interest. In context of the continuing discussions on the IANA Transition and the workflow in the CCWG pertaining Accountability, you might wish to closely read Recommendation #9 and companions. Pay special attention to status and timeline. -Carlton ============================== Carlton A Samuels Mobile: 876-818-1799 *Strategy, Planning, Governance, Assessment & Turnaround* ============================= [image: ICANN] <http://www.icann.org/> News Alert https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2-2015-01-30-en ------------------------------ ATRT2 Implementation Program Update 30 January 2015 We are pleased to provide the second update on the implementation of recommendations from the Second Accountability and Transparency Review Team (ATRT2). ICANN kicked off the implementation work, completed a thorough project planning process for each of the 12 recommendations in the second half of 2014 and is currently executing according to the detailed plans created for each of the 12 recommendations. With 51 distinct recommendation components to develop, the timeframe for implementation will vary depending on the complexity of the recommendation and its key dependencies. For example, synchronization and alignment will likely take place in conjunction with the work underway to Enhance ICANN Accountability as part of NTIA IANA Functions' Stewardship Transition. Such dependencies and connections are be flagged in the Implementation Summaries provided for each recommendation on the ATRT2 Implementation Program wiki <https://community.icann.org/display/prgrmatrt2impl/ATRT2+Implementation+Pro…> . The ICANN community can track status and progress of implementation work on the ATRT2 Program Implementation Wiki <https://community.icann.org/display/prgrmatrt2impl/ATRT2+Implementation+Pro…> through Implementation Executive Summaries. Updates will be provided each trimester through multiple communication channels and at ICANN meetings until all the recommendations have been implemented and integrated into standard operating procedures. Background Information The implementation of recommendations <https://www.icann.org/en/about/aoc-review/atrt/final-recommendations-31dec1…> from the Second Accountability and Transparency Review Team (ATRT2) began in June 2014, as soon as ICANN's Board of Directors accepted the recommendations through resolution directing ICANN to begin the work. As background, the review was conducted by "16 ATRT2 members, who were drawn from the ICANN community via a public notice as well as recommendations from ICANN's SOs and ACs, and selected by the chairs of the ICANN Board and its Governmental Advisory Committee. These community members spent nearly a year reviewing, studying, questioning, debating and listening to the community as well as staff in preparing their report."1 <#14b3d8edda12c65c_foot1> Final report was published on December 31, 2013 and included 12 recommendations within the following areas: *Areas* *Recommendations* Board Performance & Work Practices ## 1 <https://community.icann.org/display/prgrmatrt2impl/Rec+%231>-2 <https://community.icann.org/display/prgrmatrt2impl/Rec+%232>-3 <https://community.icann.org/display/prgrmatrt2impl/Rec+%233> Policy/Implementation/Executive Function #4 <https://community.icann.org/display/prgrmatrt2impl/Rec+%234> Decision Making Transparency & Appeals ## 5 <https://community.icann.org/display/prgrmatrt2impl/Rec+%235>, 7 <https://community.icann.org/display/prgrmatrt2impl/Rec+%237>, 9 <https://community.icann.org/display/prgrmatrt2impl/Rec+%239> GAC Operations & Interaction #6 <https://community.icann.org/display/prgrmatrt2impl/Rec+%236> Multilingualism #8 <https://community.icann.org/display/prgrmatrt2impl/Rec+%238> Cross-Community Deliberation #10 <https://community.icann.org/display/prgrmatrt2impl/Rec+%2310> AoC Review Process Effectiveness #11 <https://community.icann.org/display/prgrmatrt2impl/Rec+%2311> Financial Accountability & Transparency #12 <https://community.icann.org/display/prgrmatrt2impl/Rec+%2312> Implementation Methodology – Project Management Discipline ICANN worked closely with the ATRT2 throughout 2013, laying down a foundation to ensure the implementation of the recommendations would be timely and effective. An implementation methodology <https://community.icann.org/display/prgrmatrt2impl/Implementation+Program> was designed based on the global standards of The Project Management Institute (PMI) rules, guidelines, and characteristics for the project and development of a management portfolio. The PMI standards are widely accepted with a goal towards achieving professional excellence. Benefits include a clear scope definition, company-wide resource planning, risk mitigation, monitoring against timelines and consistent reporting. ICANN's commitment to accountability and transparency, in the interest of Internet users globally, was formalized and documented in 2009 in the Affirmation of Commitments (AoC) <https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/affirmation-of-commitments-2009-09-30…> agreement with the U.S. Government. It set a course for ongoing evolution and improvement in ICANN's accountability. ICANN views the implementation methodology it chose as the means of ensuring an organization-wide commitment to continuous improvement. The method of implementing the ATRT2's recommendations will serve as a pilot. ICANN will refine the approach to apply consistently to AoC and other review efforts. [image: ATRT2 Process] <https://www.icann.org/sites/default/files/assets/atrt2-1112x737-30jan15-en.…> Roles and Responsibilities The 12 ATRT2 recommendations contain 51 components <https://community.icann.org/display/prgrmatrt2impl/Recommendations>. A dedicated Project Manager is responsible for facilitating planning, monitoring progress, conducting risk assessments, resolving issues and providing ongoing reporting across multiple ICANN teams. Each recommendation is assigned a project sponsor and an owner responsible for planning and executing the necessary implementation steps, securing resources and tracking performance via Key Success Factors and Key Performance Indicators. An Advisory Committee consisting of several members of ICANN'S Executive Leadership team has been appointed to oversee the implementation work and ensure timely, clear and relevant reporting to ICANN Stakeholders. ICANN Board is providing additional oversight to ensure that the implementation work is well aligned with the intent of ATRT2 recommendations. Progress Reporting With the experience of two previous Accountability and Transparency reviews, ICANN understands the importance of timely and effective communications. In fact, one of the ATRT2 recommendations specifically addresses implementation reporting. Updates on the progress of implementing the recommendations will be posted and reported each trimester through multiple communication channels and at ICANN meetings. At this time, projects implementing all 12 ATRT2 recommendations have completing a planning process and are executing against detailed plans documented within ICANNs Project Portfolio Management system.

VIDEO: Governments and Internet Governance
by Joly MacFie Feb. 2, 2015

Feb. 2, 2015

Last Monday's event in Washington DC. A healthy discussion, well attended due to it being on the eve of State of the Net, includes contributions from Milton Mueller and George Sadowsky. Audio is a little rough for the first two mins, but then improves. joly posted: " Today, Monday 26 January 2015 the Greater Washington DC Chapter of the Internet Society (ISOC-DC) and the Institute of International Economic Policy (IIEP) present Governments and Internet Governance .

Meanwhile, many other stakeholders are increasingly concerned about increased participation by governments in the technical infrastructure and governance bodies that underpin the Internet.

WEBCAST TUESDAY – State of the Net 2015
by Joly MacFie Jan. 26, 2015

Jan. 26, 2015

At the State of the Net Tuesday again we have a healthy NYC contingent representing. Nancy Scola is moderating a panel on Digital Protectionism <http://stateofthenet2015.sched.org/event/b1c979890977bead1ac4a9c03ff77455>, Rachel Sklar is moderating a panel on Diversity <http://stateofthenet2015.sched.org/event/c7fb2ea7f4ea9d18a5ff3734f0e777be> that includes NYTM's Jessica Lawrence. Nilay Patel is on the Open Internet panel <http://stateofthenet2015.sched.org/event/56b1c4199f03a723e29a4ef289a8b5df> - along with Harold Feld! Nilay has to be an expert on NN since he moderated the Legal Hackers South Street Seaport <https://isoc-ny.org/p2/6844> special last July! And then, also from NYC is me (joly) doing the streaming. Now, as far as the webcast goes. First the $99. SInce we are sponsoring the webcast we have negotiated a reduced rate of $25 for ISOC members. To get the rate all you have to do is email Paul Brigner (currently in Budapest so he will up early on Tuesday morning!) at brigner(a)isoc.org and he will mail you back an individualized discount code. If you are not an ISOC member please join, it's free! While all that is confirmed for the webcast at the moment are the morning plenaries, If you are seriously into Internet policy it has to be worth the 25. In the afternoon there are 3 tracks - see http://stateofthenet2015.sched.org/venues/ - and how and if and which will be streamed is something I'll sort out on the fly. I'd like to do both those rooms on the 8th floor. My feeling is that, if nobody objects and it's technically feasible I might bounce room 807 out to another, possibly free, channel. If so I will announce here. Stay tuned. joly posted: " On Tuesday January 27 2015 the Internet Education Foundation (IEF) will host the 2015 State of the Net Conference at the Newseum in Washington DC.

With the NMI staggering <http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/01/24/hibernating_netmundial_continues_to…> into existence, and now a new kid on the block - the Internet Social Forum <http://justnetcoalition.org/ISF> rattling the cage, and the old stalwart the IGF going intersessional <http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/176-igf-2015/preparatory-process/2142-open-c…> - multistakeholder opportunities for governments to engage the Internet community are expanding pell-mell! As the WSIS review <http://www.itu.int/wsis/review/2014.html> looms, there is an urgency to get ducks lined up.. NYC will be well represented at this one. Not only is Veni now based back in town as he tackles the UN, but moderator Nancy Scola is also an emigre from our fair city. Plus I (Joly) will be traveling down myself to run the webcast. joly posted: " Today, Monday 26 January 2015 the Greater Washington DC Chapter of the Internet Society (ISOC-DC) and the Institute of International Economic Policy (IIEP) present Governments and Internet Governance .
