My DOI is that I, myself, am a candidate. Do we have any idea when the CVes, motivation letters and GNSO answers will be circulated? Also, considering that Peter (Chairman) said that he and Janis will take a decision this week for announcement at the Board meeting, is it possible that the CSG Ex Com could ensure that they get shared tomorrow with the constituencies so that this can be thoroughly discussed and recommendations made in time? Secondly, is the CSG Ex Com presenting a recommended process for our SG candidates and the guidance to Wolf-Ulrich for his role within the evaluation team/council? From the list I see that there are several CSG candidates Thanks, RA Ronald N.

Wolf has met with me and Antonio during the AoC Review Team open session and we have identified with his input a serious problem with the amount of time previously allocated to the discussion of this topic. Accordingly, as noted earlier, on today's 6 p.m. call which is open to all members of all these constituencies Wolf will take ten minutes to outline the timeline, including that the evaluation team will meet Thursday. The rest of the agenda will be the open roundup. Secondly, Tony and I consulted with Wolf and have modified the CSG agenda accordingly to allocate 30 minutes to discussion. I realize that there are three applicants for these seats within the BC. We will not evaluate any candidates in this session. I will urge all of our members to be very sensitive to the fact this is an open session. In the meantime, the CSG execomm members can discuss how to accelerate the development of a process to develop the advancement of names from this SG. I understand that members are extremely interested and are asking for insight and involvement in a CSG process. This email is conveying that feedback to the CSG ExComm members. I will remind all that there is a second one hour call on Tuesday, which presently presents an opportunity for discussion about topics that arise on Tuesday. This call/meeting can be reconfirmed on Monday's call/meeting at 6 p.m. the final list of candidates AND updates on agenda for the CSG segment. The other material in the agendas with the briefing re the Breakfast is unchanged. My apologies to the BC list that I am changing the CSG agenda. The phone numbers remain unchanged, so don't lose the earlier email, but use this version of the agendas. Finally, an update to all of you, I have invited Markus Kummer,Executive Secretariat of the IGF as a guest to the breakfast tomorrow.

I have provided a briefing on the breakfast because of the mutual interest, even for those who are not here in person. secondly, we have confirmed business guests, and I've cc'd them as they are invited tothe breakfast, and all other sessions. For others who are inviting guests, I need the names from you for seat assignments. See request for onsite assistance to place the seating cards and make last minute adjustments and assist in on site hosting. I also need 'volunteer sherpas' to take care of the special guests and we are likely to be asking that of you on site. =============================================== UPDATE ON BREAKFAST -- CROSS CONSTITUENCY BREAKFAST WITH BOARD AND SENIOR STAFF AND GUESTS FROM SG 'SECTORS' Please arrive a little eary to be sure you are in the room by 7:50 a.m. since the Board and staff and guests will arrive at 8 a.m. The Breakfast will end at 9:45 a.m. there are there topics for the breakfast -- the third was collaboratively developed with Peter Dengate Thrush on Saturday. Remember that there are a number of non member guests -- some from ISPs, including from India and Kenya and AfrISPA. A few of our local Business guests from the Computer Society of Kenya from Sunday's dinner will join Waudo Siganga, our WITSA member of the BC. This breakfast is intended to be a dialogue between people, and the Board has repeatedly told me, as has the Chair, that they wish to listen and to have a dialogue. I want to mention to all of you remote participants that although the Board did have a competing commitment with the GNSO policy council dinner, Peter Dengate Thrush, Chair, accepted the invitation from Waudo and me to bring some of the Board members to the Reception and to make remarks, with the other Board members and the ICANN staff starting the dinner with the GNSO Policy Councilors. The V.Chair of the Policy Council graciously met with Peter and me to collaborate on that arrangement. the Board who came were thrilled to meet the local business community and their enthusiam for theort of our local BC member, and the support that we provided was very well received and several board members congratulated me for the initiative of the BC. Since the "tool kit" of services and support by staff to enable us to focus more on outreach and recruitment is on our agenda for discussion with the Board during the breakfast, we can expect a more receptive and interested 'ear' and attitude to our desire to do more ourselves but with appropriate ICANN support to our efforts to grow and enhance the participation, overall in the CSG's constituencies. SEATING: There will be a sort of rough allocation of assigned seats, with my effort to put new people with one or two 'sherpa', that is a seasoned member of one of the constituencies/or two, who will join them at their table with the Board/Staff and ensure that everyone gets introduced, socializes a bit, etc. STAY TUNED TO GET AN ASSIGNMENT. I am inviting Steve DelBianco, Tony Harris and need one more volunteer to help with distributing the seating assignments. You will need to arrive at 7:15 a.m. at the Venue. The room for the breakfast will be distributed shortly, as soon as I get it from ICANN. THREE TOPICS for table discussion: Some board members and staff will be leaving at 9 and 9:30 a.m. for other commitments. There will be non members [potential members] at each table. After the breakfast, please escort these folks into the CSG meeting, if they are available to join us. I would ask that the 'sherpas' play a bit of a introductory role to your colleagues, as needed. 1.

CHALLENGES TO BUSINESS PARTICIPATION AND OUTREACH/MAKING ICANN MEANINGFUL TO BUISNESS USES -- SPECIAL FOCUS ON DEVELOPING COUNTRIES -- Led by Waudo Siganga. [will be discussed at each table but Waudo will also make a few comments, which will then lead to discussion in the open session 3.

FW: [bc-gnso] Notes form GAC-GNSO joint meeting
by Marilyn Cade March 8, 2010

March 8, 2010

This briefing is an update that is available to be distributed, as you chose, by the ISP and IPC representatives. I have provided a briefing on the breakfast because of the mutual interest, even for those who are not here in person. secondly, we have confirmed business guests, and I've cc'd them as they are invited tothe breakfast, and all other sessions. For others who are inviting guests, I need the names from you for seat assignments. See request for onsite assistance to place the seating cards and make last minute adjustments and assist in on site hosting. I also need 'volunteer sherpas' to take care of the special guests and we are likely to be asking that of you on site. =============================================== UPDATE ON BREAKFAST -- CROSS CONSTITUENCY BREAKFAST WITH BOARD AND SENIOR STAFF AND GUESTS FROM SG 'SECTORS' Please arrive a little eary to be sure you are in the room by 7:50 a.m. since the Board and staff and guests will arrive at 8 a.m. The Breakfast will end at 9:45 a.m. there are there topics for the breakfast -- the third was collaboratively developed with Peter Dengate Thrush on Saturday. Remember that there are a number of non member guests -- some from ISPs, including from India and Kenya and AfrISPA. A few of our local Business guests from the Computer Society of Kenya from Sunday's dinner will join Waudo Siganga, our WITSA member of the BC. This breakfast is intended to be a dialogue between people, and the Board has repeatedly told me, as has the Chair, that they wish to listen and to have a dialogue. I want to mention to all of you remote participants that although the Board did have a competing commitment with the GNSO policy council dinner, Peter Dengate Thrush, Chair, accepted the invitation from Waudo and me to bring some of the Board members to the Reception and to make remarks, with the other Board members and the ICANN staff starting the dinner with the GNSO Policy Councilors. The V.Chair of the Policy Council graciously met with Peter and me to collaborate on that arrangement. the Board who came were thrilled to meet the local business community and their enthusiam for theort of our local BC member, and the support that we provided was very well received and several board members congratulated me for the initiative of the BC. Since the "tool kit" of services and support by staff to enable us to focus more on outreach and recruitment is on our agenda for discussion with the Board during the breakfast, we can expect a more receptive and interested 'ear' and attitude to our desire to do more ourselves but with appropriate ICANN support to our efforts to grow and enhance the participation, overall in the CSG's constituencies. SEATING: There will be a sort of rough allocation of assigned seats, with my effort to put new people with one or two 'sherpa', that is a seasoned member of one of the constituencies/or two, who will join them at their table with the Board/Staff and ensure that everyone gets introduced, socializes a bit, etc. STAY TUNED TO GET AN ASSIGNMENT. I am inviting Steve DelBianco, Tony Harris and need one more volunteer to help with distributing the seating assignments. You will need to arrive at 7:15 a.m. at the Venue. The room for the breakfast will be distributed shortly, as soon as I get it from ICANN. THREE TOPICS for table discussion: Some board members and staff will be leaving at 9 and 9:30 a.m. for other commitments. There will be non members [potential members] at each table. After the breakfast, please escort these folks into the CSG meeting, if they are available to join us. I would ask that the 'sherpas' play a bit of a introductory role to your colleagues, as needed. 1. AFFIRMATION OF COPMMITMENTS/IN THE LIGHT OF IMPROVING INSTITUTIONAL CONFIDENCE AND THE IMPORTANCE OF ICANN'S ACTING IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST [ SUB THEME : what does this mean? How are we all actualizing this? Note that this is not merely looking to the GAC, but understanding that this is a basic foundational principle to ICANN] 2. CHALLENGES TO BUSINESS PARTICIPATION AND OUTREACH/MAKING ICANN MEANINGFUL TO BUISNESS USES -- SPECIAL FOCUS ON DEVELOPING COUNTRIES -- Led by Waudo Siganga. [will be discussed at each table but Waudo will also make a few comments, which will then lead to discussion in the open session 3. ICANN'S CHALLENGES IN EXISTENCE/CO EXISTENCE IN THE LARGER ECO SYSTEM OF INTERNET GOVERNANCE/IMPORTANCE OF BUSINESS USER LEADERSHIP/EXISTING LEADERSHIP AND INVOLVEMENT Note: this topic was developed by Peter Dengate Thrush, CEO, in collaboration with Marilyn Cade as a topic of beneficial overarching relevance to the three constituencies and to ICANN.-to prepare for this discussion, please review the Strategic Plan/Operational Plan references to ICANN's related activities. [reminder that these topics, except for the one added by ICANN, were circulated earlier. Ovearching issues are the topic for Doug Brent, with a focus on the Economic Study.

i'm a candidate for AOC reviewer too
by Mike O'Connor March 8, 2010

March 8, 2010

ah! good idea Ron. i'll tag along -- i also submitted my name. here's the text of my candidacy letter... mikey - - - - - - - Dear Selectors and Reviewers, I am submitting my name as a candidate for the Affirmation of Commitments Accountability and Transparency Review Team and am also requesting GNSO endorsement for that candidacy. I am a member of the GNSO Commercial and Business Users Constituency (CBUC). I’ve combined (and gently rewritten) the ICANN and GNSO calls for applicants into a single series of questions that I answer on the following pages. I’m treating this response as a “portfolio of work completed” in hopes that it will be useful in evaluating whether my knowledge, skills and approach are a good match for the position. I have tried to stay within the 3-page guideline specified in the ICANN call for applicants, but the additional GNSO questions were my undoing. Apologies for going slightly over the limit with this combined response. I am volunteering for this role because I think I can make a substantial contribution to the project, I have the time and I enjoy this kind of work. I’m also hopeful that I will be viewed as a candidate who can responsibly represent the views of the whole GNSO, not just the CBUC. Thanks very much for your consideration and your efforts as reviewers and selectors. Sincerely, Mike O’Connor - - - - - - - - - phone 651-647-6109 fax 866-280-2356 web www.haven2.com handle OConnorStP (ID for public places like Twitter, Facebook, Google, etc.)

Notes form GAC-GNSO joint meeting
by Steve DelBianco March 7, 2010

March 7, 2010

Very promising meeting with GAC GNSO Council. GAC shares many of our BC concerns about new gTLD program and EOI. And several GAC members agree that the ITU should not encroach on ICANN¹s role in internet policy-making. Meeting was chaired by Stephane van Gelder and Bertrand de La Chapelle Stephane started with GNSO questions about new gTLD program: > i. Do GAC members have any remaining concerns with respect to > geographic and intellectual property protections? > > ii. The GAC proposed that some additional studies be conducted before new > gTLDs are launched; what negative effects, if any, could be foreseen if such > studies are not completed before the launch? > > iii. The GAC has questioned the desirability of a single fee structure for > new gTLDs. How might variable fees affect market entry and the larger Internet > environment? How would they impact the distribution and recovery of costs? > > iv. The GAC has raised a number of concerns about the suitability and > time frame of the EOI model. Does it have specific suggestions as to how the > model could be improved, or a superior alternative model to suggest? Bertrand: Concerns at Second level more than at top-level. Concerns about Post-delegation more than pre-delegation. Zahid: BC filed minority report on STI because we think post-delegation RPMs are inadequate. TM Clearinghouse requirement ends at sunrise. We thought something was better than nothing and we wanted the process to move forward. Mark (UK): Why are we spending so much time designing an EOI? Zahid: if we invite objections to strings after EOI it would be unlimited and unregulated. Even riskier than defending against objections during the actual application. And we need more education for those in developing nations about the EOI schedule. Sweden: it's not a market analysis if it's mandatory. It's a pre-launch. Stephane: the closer the EOI is to the first round, the more we question the value of the EOI. If the rules must be final, do we need an EOI? If we need an EOI, are the rules final enough? Bertrand: This is promising for the week. We seem to be re-qualifying the EOI similarly. Debra Hughes (Red Cross): non-profits are concerned about EOI. Especially in developing countries where non-profits don't know about it. Also need to talk about fee structure and post-delegation measures against fraud and abuse. Bertrand: if final DAG is a pre-condition for EOI, who's to decide when DAG is final? Can one SO block it? Proposed that we could "Yellow" parts of the DAG that have to be final. If EOI just deals with strings, we can yellow just those DAG sections, for instance. Stephane: moving to our question #3, regarding ICANN in the wider Internet Environment. Here are GNSO questions for the GAC: > i. Can GAC members explain the relationship to ICANN in general and > to the GAC principles in particular of the ongoing intergovernmental > discussions (e.g., in the ITU and CSTD) concerning Enhanced Cooperation on > Globally Applicable Public Policy Principles? > > ii. Can GAC members help us to understand the objectives and prospects > of the various other proposals that have been advanced in the ITU (some of > which could be taken up by its October 2010 Plenipotentiary Conference) > concerning such topics as the provision of registry services, the > harmonization and coordination of ccTLD policies, internationalized domain > names, the interface between international laws and treaties and Internet > governance, security and stability, IPV6, dispute resolution, and so on? Stefano (Italy): talked about IGF call for "Enhanced Cooperation". UN will decide whether to renew IGF. Acknowledged that one-state-one-vote creates unpleasant "market for votes". Mark (UK): seeing lots of pressure from ITU to enter I-gov space. European view is that would be beyond ITU mandate to lead in policy formation. ITU wants to become a registry and to allocate IPv6 addresses, but EU states will object and say ITUs mandate and skills do not support that move. Unkown: IGF is part of the Tunis package on "enhanced cooperation". Both will be discussed at CSTD. Last ITU Plenipot adopted resolution that ITU has a role in internet policy setting. Thomas (Germany): Enhanced Cooperation is a wide term and involves us all. ITU's desire to be a registry should be discussed here in the GAC. Govts elevated role here in ICANN should relieve pressure from ITU. At same time, competition should make each stronger. Fiona (US): ITU is 191 governments. What are GNSO concerns about the ITU? You should go back to your own governments with your concerns. Bertrand: Some actors in the ITU don't even want to hear the word ICANN. Stephane: thank you for quality of answers today. Bill Drake (NCUC): our questions are motivated by what we hear in international fora. We don't really know which of these points are worthy of our taking them on board. For instance, many govts are advocating globally applicable principles, but what does that mean for ICANN? We'd like to hear from govts who participate in both the ITU and ICANN. Jamie Wagner: both have a role but one is primary and one is secondary. ICANN is working now as a mechanism for enhanced cooperation. Zahid Jamil (BC): we need to avoid making emerging governments feel left behind by the ICANN process. Nigeria: developing nations are given more prominence at ITU/UN. ICANN's communications to developing nations is not as strong as ITU. ITU is a treaty-making organization. ICANN is not. ITU controls spectrum; ICANN controls IP. There must be a point of handshake. Unknown: convergence of telecom and internet makes telecom regulators very nervous. ITU nations feel ICANN has not given them the right answers. ICANN vs ITU conflict will become livable once ICANN becomes more internationalized and every govt participates equally in the GAC. Inside ITU there is a difference of opinion about whether ITU should get into Internet governance. I believe ICANN should handle IP numbers and DNS. Bertrand: we've never had this kind of discussion between GAC and GNSO. Please continue the dialog.
