Mexico City Meeting Schedule Published
Thanks to GNSO Secretariat Glen de Saint Géry. ================= The schedule for the upcoming meeting in Mexico City on 1-6 March is now published on the <http://mex.icann.org/>Mexico City Meeting Website. http://mex.icann.org/ <http://mex.icann.org/node/2429>You can view the full schedule here. http://mex.icann.org/node/2429 The schedule format has been redesigned to present a clear picture of the overall structure of the meeting, identifying the different sessions, rooms, and their associated time slots. Extensive use of standardized session and break times will provide a buffer between sessions to facilitate a smooth meeting flow and allow more time for delegate interaction. Other parts of the schedule that we wish to draw the community's attention to include: Increase in time allocated to Public Forum, with buffers to allow for unexpected overruns. A 90-minute Q&A session dedicated to the New gTLD Applicant Guidebook on Monday, 2 March. A Joint Public Meeting on Monday afternoon where representatives from the different Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees will discuss and debate the issues of most importance to them. Everyone is invited to attend and a feedback session at the end will allow for commentary from the floor. An At-Large Summit will open on Saturday at the Sheraton, with a closing report to the community just prior to Thursday's Public Forum. Additional sessions will run in the nearby Hotel Melia on Sunday and Tuesday. A number of introductory sessions covering new gTLDs, IDNs and ICANN itself are designed to give first-time attendees an overview of the organization and its work. The community is invited to attend a public meeting of the new Public Participation Board Committee on Wednesday to discuss ways of improving participation within ICANN. An e-Crime Workshop is slated for Wednesday afternoon. Staff updates are now scheduled just before Friday's Board meeting to allow for presentations that reflect community feedback and give more time for public forums. We hope the community find the new schedule format useful and look forward to seeing you all in Mexico City.
Dear All: Thanks, Alan, for reposting this. Everyone should be aware that there are a number of errors with the currently published schedule, especially as they relate to the At-Large Summit. In particular, three of the five rooms on Sunday and Tuesday are not listed. As soon as this was released and we noticed the issues we immediately asked for this to be fixed. We will announce the schedule once it is complete. Alan Greenberg wrote:

Danny, That is not at all accurate! To be accurate, after dinner the wolfs would get a nasty letter telling them to explain why they had a mutton dinner after they had become vegetarians. Then after a several of these letters the wolves would eventually be told not to do that again. Incorrect! The complainant received a reply from the overseer that they are not dietitians, it is someone else's problem.
A lot has been said about this topic, but in a nutshell: * Until Registrars meet their obligations as per the RAA, not only in contractual terms but also in the spirit of the RAA, we will always get postings about registrar problems. * Staff at all levels of ICANN must also subscribe to the letter and spirit of the RAA to stop the public from being harmed by those same registrars (and sometimes their registrants) where it fall under items in the RAA. Not to steal Chery's thunder, I can say Godaddy is way out of line not even meeting the most basic items of the RAA as regards their whois obligations - and it does hurt the public! This issue has been beaten to death in the past with bodies such as the FTC getting involved. Yet we get more of the same. But as for this being an American issue, no quite. Australia could also be listed. Right now Melbourne-IT (to name one registrar) ignores WDPRS reports, also for domains harming the public. Yet bad domains are streaming in via their resellers. To make matters worse, reporting registrars not responding to WDPRS reports to ICANN at http://reports.internic.net/cgi/registrars/problem-report.cgi yields answers such as:
We appreciate you taking the time to complete a InterNic Complaint Report. Your complaint, however, references inaccurate Whois data, which is handled through a separate complaint system. These complaints are not handled through the InterNic Complaint System and do not get referred.
Your Whois data accuracy complaints should be filed using the Whois Data Problem Report System, located online at http://wdprs.internic.net/. These complaints are referred directly to the registrar for review and are also analyzed and used to enforce registrar obligations in accordance with ICANN policy.
For further information on what is required of the registrars upon notification of an inaccuracy in Whois data you may wish to view the ICANN Advisory located online at http://www.icann.org/announcements/advisory-03apr03.htm.
Kind regards,
ICANN Services
Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: XXXX Department: Whois Priority: High Status: Closed However, I had reported that WDPRS reports are being ignored ignored by a registrar, I listed the domains for which the WDPRS reports were ignored, I pointed out the registrar was in breach of the RAA and that the domains harms the public (i.e. used for bank spoofing). Go read the wording at the above URL: By completing this form, Internet users can initiate help from ICANN's Support Services in filing a grievance concerning a nonresponsive registrar or about enforcement of an alleged violation of the terms listed in the Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA).
Yet in my report I was spoilt for choice as to which relevant box to tick (I could only tick one): My point is that registrars and ICANN cannot even get the basics of one of the longest outstanding issues, whois details, right. What hope is their for newer problems and policies. We will most likely still be beating the transfer policies to death in eight years time. Policies do not affect change, attitudes and accountability do. Derek
