Draft BC comment on Applicant guidebook - for member review and approval by 3-Dec
by Steve DelBianco Nov. 27, 2010

Nov. 27, 2010

Attached is the draft BC comment on ICANN’s proposed final guidebook for new gTLDs. The genesis of this draft was our member call on 18-Nov. ( audio at http://drop.io/gnso_private/asset/gnso-bc-20101118-en-mp3 ; a transcript of the call was distributed earlier) . Several BC members volunteered as Rapporteurs. We worked thru 2 rounds of edits to get a draft to present to BC membership. For edits that I felt lacked consensus, I included dissenting remarks and questions in the body of the document [ in brackets and in blue ]. We are allowing 10 days to review and approve these comments. That would allow us to finalize by 3-Dec, before meetings begin in Cartagena. That is less than the 14-days called for in our Charter, but I will ask the BC executive committee for an abbreviated review under the circumstances. Please review and comment on the draft and on the inserted dissents and questions. Thanks again to the rapporteurs named below for their efforts thus far.

The US government has today seized a selection of domains belonging to sites associated with peer-to-peer file sharing and counterfeit goods - apparently without notifying their owners nor going through the court systems. - http://www.thinq.co.uk/2010/11/26/homeland-security-goes-domain-capture-spr… Martin C SUTTON Group Risk Manager, Group Fraud Risk and Intelligence | HSBC HOLDINGS PLC HGHQ Group Security & Fraud Risk 8 Canada Square,Canary Wharf,London,E14 5HQ,United Kingdom ________________________________________________________________ Phone. +44 (0)20 7991 8074 / 7991 8074 Mobile. +44 (0) 7774556680 Email. martinsutton(a)hsbc.com ________________________________________________________________ ----------------------------------------- SAVE PAPER - THINK BEFORE YOU PRINT!

exchange of letters GAC and ICANN related to overarching issues update and morality
by Marilyn Cade Nov. 25, 2010

Nov. 25, 2010

Dear BC Members I am noting below, for your information, the exchange of letters between the GAC and ICANN. Since ICANN's letter in response addresses the overarching issues, I am calling this to everyone's attention. The comments about the incomplete economic study are particularly ... disappointing on the part of the Board Chair, and apparently on the part of the Board. I know Philip and I participated in the Cross WG on controversial names -- Recommendation 6 Working Group -- and I may have overlooked other members who were actively engaged. I commend both letters to your attention. The outcome there seems okay, in terms of BC members broader interests. I'd recommend reviewing both. It will prepare you for exchanges in Cartagena. Marilyn CadeBC Chair GAC letter of Nov 22 (http://icann.org/en/correspondence/dryden-to-dengate-thrush-22nov10-en.pdf) ICANN letter in response (http://icann.org/en/correspondence/dengate-thrush-to-dryden-23nov10-en.pdf)

GAC letter to ICANN regarding new gTLDs
by Steve DelBianco Nov. 23, 2010

Nov. 23, 2010

Sharing the most recent letter from the GAC to ICANN. Highlights: GAC says its comments on new gTLD program are “intended to meet the overriding goal of ensuring that introduction of of new gTLDs is in the global public interest”. So the GAC expects ICANN to consider all of its input as ‘Advice’ per ICANN’s bylaws. GAC expects ICANN Board to explain its decisions taken, no later than 2 weeks before Cartagena. (citing Affirmation obligation) GAC anticipates that ICANN will respond to their last 3 letters and is expecting to discuss this in Cartagena.
