Draft BC position EOI v2
by Philip Sheppard March 1, 2010

March 1, 2010

Thanks to BC members for their comments to date. I attach a revised version 2. Comments / expressions of support please now on this version referencing line tracking as appropriate. Philip _____ From: Philip Sheppard [mailto:philip.sheppard@aim.be] Sent: Tuesday, February 23, 2010 10:19 AM To: 'bc-gnso(a)icann.org' Subject: Draft BC position EOI For 14 day comment I have been asked by the new VP policy coordination Steve DelBianco to act as rapporteur for the issue of Expressions of Interest in the context of the new gTLDS process. I attach a proposed draft for the Constituency. Its argumentation and consequent conclusion is based on the submissions of Bc members in their individual capacity to the public comments process. These comment were significant in their commonality. In short all commentators believed that: - the EOI is a poor substitute for data gathering and an economic study - the EOI is bad business practice as it requires investors to invest in ignorance of issues that ICANN is obliged to solve. Comments, improvements are most welcome ideally by e-mail bullet points referencing the line numbers rather than Word tracked changes. This makes the job of the poor rapporteur much easier ! Philip

WADO & Kenyan Business Community Reception
by Ron Andruff Feb. 27, 2010

Feb. 27, 2010

Dear Members, As we get closer to the Nairobi meeting, and in light of Gary having his last day of his extension (vis-à-vis the BC elections) on Monday, I wanted to note two things. First, I want to encourage everyone who is planning on attending, as well as those that plan to get on the call-in line, to let Gary know by COB Monday so that we who are going to Nairobi can have an understanding of who will be present and who will be joining by phone. This leads to my second point, which is, we who are present have a wonderful opportunity to engage with Kenyan business at the reception that WADO and its associates in Nairobi are staging on Sunday night. The BC has put on a number of events like this, but this time I am excited that WADO is engaged because we should be looking forward to a good turnout from Kenyan business. As we all know, the BC needs to expand its membership roll on a broad global scale, so I am hopeful that this upcoming event will be a first step in making outreach a serious part of our new structure. For these reasons, I underscore how important it is to let Gary or our Chair know if you will be attending or not. Kind regards, RA

RE: [bc-gnso] FW: [gnso-vi-feb10] Updated VI Charter for review by SG/Constituencies
by Berry Cobb Feb. 25, 2010

Feb. 25, 2010

BC, I apologize for mistakenly supplying the wrong deadline to the BC. The Friday 2/26 date is for the VI DT to submit the charter to the council. The constituencies have until 15:00 UTC 2/25. To meet the VI DT deadline I submitted the BC position formulated to date, as noted in a previous email. If there are any objections to the proposed charter, please provide them to me and I will ensure the VI DT is notified. Again, my apologies for the confusion. 30 Lashes to Berry and lesson learned.

FW: bc meeting summary
by Marilyn Cade Feb. 23, 2010

Feb. 23, 2010

Dear BC members I have attached a summary of the Members working call held on February 19, and an attachment prepared by the V.Chair, Policy Coordination, Steve Delbianco. Members comments are welcomed, and should be sent to me as chair, at marilynscade(a)hotmail.com. You can also post questions to the full bc list -- bc-gnso(a)icann.org, which will to to all BC members as a public list.

Please help us, as the new Excomm to understand what information you need to help you be actively engaged in the BC, and in ICANN, by sharing comments with us, and with your colleagues. I want to thank other members of the ExComm for their involvement, comments, drafting of input to this report, and members who have commented off list on questions and areas of interest. We will have a busy next few weeks at ICANN, with the range of active issues before ICANN and us, as stakeholders. I know that all of us, as ExComm members, welcome your active involvement and hope to hear you/see you in Nairobi/or on the 'list'. Marilyn CadeChair

Mitigating Malicious Conduct in New gTLD - Zone File Access
by BC Secretariat Feb. 23, 2010

Feb. 23, 2010

http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-22feb10-en.htm -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mitigating Malicious Conduct in New gTLD - Zone File Access 22 February 2010 Zone File Access Concept Paper [PDF, 260 KB] Cost Model Information In one of many efforts to mitigate the potential for malicious conduct in new gTLDs, ICANN formed the Zone File Access (ZFA) Advisory Group following an announcement on 3 December 2009 (see, http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-03dec09-en.htm) ICANN sought the participation of a diverse and knowledgeable set of volunteers to discuss alternatives for Zone File Access. The group was charged with discussing benefits and exploring methods to effectively and efficiently enhance access to zone file information in an environment with many gTLDs. The Anti-Phishing Working Group and others have described access to zone data as an effective tool for combating DNS abuse. On behalf of the ZFA Advisory Group, ICANN is opening a public comment forum on the ZFA Concept Paper (the "Paper") that describes standardized forms of access to zone file information. The Paper proposes four alternative implementation models for community consideration. The Paper focuses on technical, operational, and administrative challenges for data providers and consumers in an environment with a potentially large number of gTLD registry zone files. Specifically, the work of the group targets consumer concerns relating to difficulties of accessing this important information in the new environment. For those combating DNS abuses, the goals of the program are to reduce the differences in and complexity of contractual agreements; standardize approaches; improve security and zone file access methods. Goals for gTLD registries include managing overhead related to zone file access and considering ways to improve service while maintaining administrative control over zone data. The ZFA Advisory Group plans to conduct a workshop on its Paper and on-going activities at the ICANN meeting in Nairobi on Wednesday, 10 March 2010 from 12:00-13:30 UTC. A copy of the Paper is available here [PDF, 260 KB]. The cost model referenced in the Paper is available here [XLS, 106 KB]. Comments on the Paper submitted to zfa-concept-15feb10(a)icann.org will be considered until 8 April 2010 23:59 UTC. Comments may be viewed at http://forum.icann.org/lists/zfa-concept-15feb10/. All documentation related to the work of the group, including an archive of its mailing list and MP3s for its teleconferences, is available at http://www.icann.org/en/topics/new-gtlds/zone-file-access-en.htm.

Draft BC position EOI

Feb. 23, 2010

For 14 day comment I have been asked by the new VP policy coordination Steve DelBianco to act as rapporteur for the issue of Expressions of Interest in the context of the new gTLDS process. I attach a proposed draft for the Constituency. Its argumentation and consequent conclusion is based on the submissions of Bc members in their individual capacity to the public comments process. These comment were significant in their commonality. In short all commentators believed that: - the EOI is a poor substitute for data gathering and an economic study - the EOI is bad business practice as it requires investors to invest in ignorance of issues that ICANN is obliged to solve. Comments, improvements are most welcome ideally by e-mail bullet points referencing the line numbers rather than Word tracked changes. This makes the job of the poor rapporteur much easier ! Philip
