That Revised PICDRP
by Carlton Samuels Oct. 4, 2013

Oct. 4, 2013

So, the PICDRP is revised. Yawn. For sure, it is a poster child for what lawyers call - often times with tongue firmly rooted in cheek - 'due process'. Regrettably and in IMMHO, it yet remains a creature that is all 'sound and fury, signifying nothing'. Yes, in the end, it is still not worth a warm bucket of spit. The fundamental problem remains; it is a high bar we raise to deny companies the right to change a business model - or approach to implementing a model - in process. That is a flightless buzzard of a bird. The notion of 'to report is to offend' remains. Now, I freely admit that as a free thinker, all orthodoxies remain suspect absent they are forced thru the crucible of reason. But this position as a conceptual framework is and remains so injurious to perceptions of good governance it is practically indecent! I have excerpted and highlighted a part of the revised procedure below. It frames what follows better than I could; it is as if ICANN had engaged a circular firing squad to execute PIC enforcement: *"1.3 .....ICANN will conduct a preliminary review of the PIC report to ensure that it is complete and states a claim of non-compliance with one or more PICs. ICANN also will make a determination as to* *PICDRP- 2* *whether the Reporter is in good standing and is not a Repeat Offender as set forth below in Section 5. * * * *ICANN’s preliminary review is not intended to evaluate the merits of the allegations, but whether the Reporter has completed all of the reporting obligations.* * * *In particular, ICANN will review whether the Reporter has: (i) identified the proper parties; (ii) identified at least one PIC with which the Registry Operator failed to comply, (iii) alleged how the Reporter has been harmed; and (iv) set forth the grounds of the claim and submitted appropriate documentation to support the report of non-compliance.* * * *1.4** If the PIC report fails the preliminary review, ICANN will notify the Reporter and the Registry Operator, and **the PIC report will be closed. * * * *2. Initial Review of the PIC Report and Conference* *2.1 If the PIC report passes ICANN’s preliminary review, ICANN will forward the report to the Registry Operator (through its Abuse Point of Contact) and notify the Reporter that the PIC report has been forwarded to the Registry Operator.*" -Carlton ============================== Carlton A Samuels Mobile: 876-818-1799 *Strategy, Planning, Governance, Assessment & Turnaround* =============================

WEBCAST TODAY: CITI State of Telecom 2013 – Can Broadband Networks Handle Cloud-Based Video Media?
by Joly MacFie Sept. 26, 2013

Sept. 26, 2013

State of Telecom is always a blockbuster, and this year is no exception. In 2012, as the WCIT approached, the focus turned to OTT video (see archive) - primarily business models and policy, SOT2013 embraces and extends that to all cloud-based rich media, and the stress they put on networks. It is evident that the boffins at CITI see this as the critical issue for the future development of the telecom industry. The afternoon panel with Susan Crawford, Stephen Conroy, and Henning Schulzrinne is not to be missed. joly posted: "Today, Thursday September 26 2013, the Columbia Institute for Tele-Information (CITI) will host State of Telecom 2013 at Columbus Business School NYC.

Fwd: Dilma Rouseff speech at the United Nations General Assembly
by Carlton Samuels Sept. 26, 2013

Sept. 26, 2013

In case you missed it, I have attached the Brazilian President's speech to the UNGA at NYC. My apologies, this is the English version. Yes, she calls for a new governance framework to enable implementation of her 5 enumerated principles for Internet Governance. Notice she speaks of a "civilian multilateral framework", not a multi-stakeholder initiative for Internet Governance. That's short hand for 'a treaty organisation'. She's doubling down on the model promoted at the WCIT. And our Uncle Sam studiously sat on his hands through it all. :-) -Carlton -Carlton

R: One Web Day

Thanks, Joly. Too bad to let a good initiative fade. I hope we can pick it up again, although there are many things to do and it is difficult to get everything done. We could have done something at least as ALAC, maybe a petition to ISOC. Next year we shall remember in time, and take some action.
