Do we agree on asking for an issues report on this? Should this
go on the agenda tonight?

Subject: [At-Large] {Disarmed} DRAFT ALAC comment on Registrar
Accreditation Agreement and Data Escrow
Please feel free to add/suggest:
While
the ALAC regards the synthesis of public commentary on Registrar Accredition
Agreements MailScanner has detected a possible fraud attempt from
"www.icann.org" claiming to be
(http://www.icann.org/topics/raa/comment-summary.html) to be a good
start, we are concerned a number of proposals made by the at-large community and
consumer organizations intended to make more concrete some specific contract
enforcement provisions between ICANN and registrars, along with complia
for the agreements themselves, have been classified "unfeasible"
or outside ICANN's scope (Section F, http://www.icann.org/topics/raa/comment-summary.html).
A number
of provisions in section F were suggested to give consumers assistance,
direction and help in choosing a registrar; means of redress when disputes
arise; objective and public data detailng registrar problems; and
some assignation of responsibility on registrars to provide security
enhancing and stability (for example, DNSSEC). Perhaps somewhat predictably, the
classification of at-large and user comments on the RAA into what probably will
be done, might be done through other means or venues, and what probably is not
going to be done, seems to go easy on registrars while still leaving
substantial gaps in the registrar agreements for abuse of the user
community.
Section
F, item 21 states, "We ask ICANN staff to prepare a summary of the
current practices, fees and burdens imposed on registrants by a significant
sample of registrars. (The ALAC is ready to ask for an Issues Report if
necessary)." The ALAC now officially asks for an
Issues Report, which we believe is necessary, and should include
a more thorough explanation of criteria used to eliminate almost
30 items from consideration in Section F.

Please send any comments and suggestions to
make it better.

ALAC comment on IPv4 depletion and IPv6 migration
We are aware that sometime within a few years time, current pool of
IPv4 address will expire which may have significant impact on the use
of Internet by broad public.
Everyone agree the importance of making sure to allocate remaining
pool of IPv4 address in a fair, equitable and predictable manner. The
challenge here is what exactly we mean by "fair, equitable and
predictable" that is pragmatic and implementable for all global users.
We respect the policy works done by the RIRs so far, and are willing
to actively participate more.
We are concerned about the potential creation of "black market" and
call for a rational ways to make secondary market a realty. We also
call for a reasonable way of recollecting the unused IPv4 address
blocks.
We also like to call for more outreach work initiated by the ICANN
community to make sure the issues are understood clearly and the
solutions are communicated openly to broad public.
We understand that the best solution to this challenge is to make
smooth and orderly transition to the broad use of IPv6. There are
several challenges and tasks to make that to happen:
- Organize awareness campaign for the need for timely transition,
- Avoid media hypes by providing accurate information to wider public
- Make sure all "public sites" by governments and commercial service
providers implement IPv4-v6 dual capacity in time
- Measures be taken to help developing countries to prepare the
transition in timely and affordable manner
