BC Position Statement DRAFT - Baseline Registry Operations Report from KPMG - Action Required by 3/30
by Berry Cobb March 23, 2010

March 23, 2010

BC, Attached is the first draft of the CBUC position statement for the Baseline Registry Operation report released by ICANN. Overall, I feel KPMG performed well and provided meaningful views of the data. It is ashamed that more participants were not a part of the sample data. My Registry operations experience is limited, so I ask the BC team to take a strong look at the report and the initial comments I provided. I especially invite our members that have direct Registry operations experience to enhance our position about this study and its future use by the gTLD Evaluation teams. This material is sure to have a direct impact to the next Draft Applicant Guidebook version 4 to be released just prior to Brussels. In a quick review, the following are what I believe to be sections of the DAGv3 where this study could influence the Application Evaluation Criteria, or the Application Process both of which will be used by the gTLD Evaluation teams. 1.2.2 Required Documents for Application 1.4.2 Application Form 2.1.2 Applicant Reviews 2.1.3 Registry Services Review 2.2.1 Technical/Operational or Financial Extended Evaluation 2.2.2 DNS Stability Extended Evaluation 2.2.3 Registry Services Extended Evaluation The comment period closes April 1st, so I ask for your quick turn-around. As Steve DelBianco eluded to in our last BC call, there are a large number of comment period closings converging at once. I thank you for your quick response. I will compile all feedback and incorporate changes on 3/30/2010.

ICANN Proposed Framework for 2011 Operating Plan and Budget
by Marilyn Cade March 22, 2010

March 22, 2010

Dear colleagues If you are interested in joining me and other BC colleagues in a discussion about the ICANN Framework for the Operating Plan and Budget, followed by a call with Kevin Wilson, CFO, ICANN, please email me off list at marilynscade(a)hotmail.comI'll schedule a one hour conf. call for interested parties to discuss the document/attached. Comments are due by April 1. I do not envision this being a BC comment, but a discussion among interested parties, and then a moderated call with Kevin. I would encourage individual postings of comments, rather than trying to undertake a BC approved statement. It is not a gTLD policy issue but has implications for the BC in terms of ensuring funding for compliance/enforcement, policy development, ICANN's strategic priorities/directions, and the 'tool kit of services' that the BC has supported.

BC position EOI
by Philip Sheppard March 18, 2010

March 18, 2010

Thank you for the last round of comments. Our 14 day process is almost complete and I wanted to send a copy of our paper so that BC colleagues in Nairobi will have a position to speak to. I attach a version three factoring in the last round of comments / support. This includes all substantive contributions of content though not all of the style suggestions. Us rapporteurs should be free to retain that element! For good order I also attach a clean version 3 and have entitled it "final" to facilitate any external communication in Nairobi. Philip

by Berry Cobb March 18, 2010

March 18, 2010

CBUC Team, Attached is the first draft of the CBUC Position statement for the Registration Abuse Policies initial report. Comments are to be posted by 28 March 2010, so I ask for everyone's prompt review and feedback. I will compile all comments starting on 27 March to meet the 28th deadline. I ask that you review each recommendation and do not settle on just a "Green Check Mark" as an indication that all is well. Many recommendations contain a Suggestion and Rationale, and it is here where we require your meticulous review and feedback. Further, I welcome suggestions to improve the language in these sections, whether you agree or not. There is a lot of information to review here. I strongly recommend that you review the entire Initial Report first before formulating your position form the CBUC Position paper. Links to the work products are provided in the attached document. If you have any questions or concerns, please field them my way, and I can call upon other CBUC RAP participants to try and answer them. Thank you for your time. Berry A.

FW: BC debrief/encourage members to post regarding their views on the list/update
by Marilyn Cade March 18, 2010

March 18, 2010

Folks, one of our members will be challenged by Friday/still in Kenya on holidays. Can we revisit Monday a.m. same times,with understanding that if that is not good for many of you, we will proceed with the earlier two dates only as options. send me your response off list to keep the craziness of scheduling "off list' . :-) On Mar 12, 2010, at 3:24 AM, Marilyn Cade wrote: We are of course using our public list for our exchanges so that all members and the interested public of business users can read our updates. Thanks to Steve for his posts. For other members, please do also share your perspectives on this list. You are welcome to share your views about any of the resolutions, not just those related to gTLD policy. BC DEBRIEF: I will note that I've had a conversation regarding when to hold the update, and I'm targeting next Thursday or Friday, so mark your calendars, and stay tuned for a bridge . For the ExComm, please confirm your availability for both dates, keeping a focus on 10 a.m. EST which is bearable for Zahid in Pakistan and at 7 a.m. for West Coast, so in the 'friendly' zone. We can also consider 6 a.m. PST and 9 a.m. EST. The call will last an hour for members and all who were in Nairobi can expect a 3 minute speaking slot. I've reserved 20 minutes for the policy updates by Zahid, Mike, and Steve -- will turn to you for your development of an agenda, both with the Councilors, and all Working Group members. If you need more time, just let me know. Finally, we will have a 5 minute update on planning for business outreach and activites in Brussels, and that will be led by Ayesha and myself. We have two pending recruits, who tell me they are submitting applications Monday. If that is underway, I will invite them as observers to the call. Try to remember to add Jon Nevett in, and we will have him added shortly. Marilyn Cade BC Chair Date: Fri, 12 Mar 2010 03:08:17 -0500 Subject: [bc-gnso] ICANN Board votes to shut-down the EOI program From: sdelbianco(a)netchoice.org To: bc-gnso(a)icann.org Resolution cited uncertainty about date for resolution of Overarching Issues to satisfaction of the board; difficulty in synchronizing applications program with EOI; preferring to focus staff on remaining issues; Resolve to withdraw EOI; and direct CEO to press on with new gTLD program Discussion: Harald Alstrand: still concerned about risks of many new gTLDs and wants CEO to be attentive to those risks. Bruce Tonkin: confusion about purpose(s) of EOI. Would have given data on # and nature of strings. Would have informed applicants to improve their applications. Staff and community resources are being taken away from underlying problems; so up-or-down vote is the best way to proceed. Crocker: primary purpose of EOI was to give magnitude of demand; Raimundo changed his mind on EOI because there was lack of consensus for it. Resolution Passed: overwhelmingly. Just one No vote from Michael Silber (I think) Michael Silber: EOI had potential benefits and it's a pity its being thrown out. -- Steve DelBianco Executive Director NetChoice http://www.netchoice.org/ and http://blog.netchoice.org/ +1.202.420.7482 +1.202.420.7482

Zone File Access Concept Paper and the GNSO
by Marilyn Cade March 17, 2010

March 17, 2010

Dear Colleagues on the BC list The BC has some members already actively engaged in these groups. If you are interested but not yet engaged, you will see the information for follow up below. I will ask Steve DelBianco, V.Chair, Policy Coordination, to help to identify BC members who who are actively engaged already and hook any new parties up with them. Marilyn CadeBC Chair Subject: GNSO and Constituency Input on HSTLD and ZFA Advisory Group Materials Dear GNSO Councilors and Constituency Members, The HSTLD (High Security TLD) and ZFA (Zone File Access) Advisory Groups seek your input by 8 April on their respective papers that were posted for public comment on 22 February. The papers and comment forum information are available at http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-22feb10-en.htm. Further, ICANN staff supporting these groups are available upon request to provide you with a brief presentation about the work. Please feel free to contact Craig Schwartz at craig.schwartz(a)icann.org to schedule a ZFA presentation or Andy Welch at andy.welch(a)icann.org for a HSTLD presentation. The work of these temporary, expert Advisory Groups is being done to develop solution(s) to the new gTLD program’s overarching issue of mitigating malicious conduct. These groups were formed following the 3 December 2009 announcement (see, http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-03dec09-en.htm) soliciting participants. Additional information on HSTLD may be found at http://www.icann.org/en/topics/new-gtlds/hstld-program-en.htm and ZFA at http://www.icann.org/en/topics/new-gtlds/zone-file-access-en.htm.

We took a unique approach of being very inclusive of anyone we met who was in business and cpould be interested in joining the three constituencies. The breakfast focused on three possible table topics but topics 2 was focused on hearing from outside guests from developing countries (primarily) and in many cases, they led the discussions.
