Thanks for this very helpful post, Phil. I regret that I will not even be arrived yet. I am in Geneva for ITU consultations on Internet policy, and arrive late Friday. But knowing that other BC members are actively engaged is helpful to all of the BC.

Announcing that the BC will meet with the 2013 Nominating Committee members and Chair/Chair-Elect in Toronto - date and time to be confirmed/Background Reports for Nominating Committees - 2011, 2010, 2009 [2012 will be available soon]
by Marilyn Cade Oct. 1, 2012

Oct. 1, 2012

Dear BC Members The BC will meet with the 2013 Nominating Committee Chair, Chair-Elect, and our own appointees, and hopefully other members of the 2013 NC in Toronto. We are finalizing time slots, but at present, it appears that Monday, during our lunch time session, or Wednesday, during our lunchtime session are the available time slotsfor our full BC members. We will try to confirm one of these asap. In any case, if that does not work, we will work out a different time to interact with the full BC attendance. In the meantime, we all have homework to do on this important topic. For some of our BC members, the NC is perhaps a new item for discussion, so I'll suggest that we use our list to exchange views and perspectives and share information. We are very fortunate that we have several current BC members with past experience on the NC, including: Mike RobertsPhil LodicoMarilyn CadeWaudo SigangaSarah Deutsch[apologies if I have missed anyone]*Some other NC reps no longer are BC members due to having made job changes - Graham Forsyth and Chris Martin, as examples. Another BC rep has retired and declined my efforts to recruit him as 'emeritus' participant. :-) Some of our members are relatively new, and I thought that you might want to have some discussion on a few background items: Possible exchange of view topics: What does the NomCom do? Why is it important? Who appoints the Chair? What reforms were instituted based on its last Review? Did the ATRT affect the NomCom and if so, how? Have those improvements been put in place? What criteria should the NomCom apply for selection of its appointees? Why? What transparency and accountability mechanisms guide the NomCom's work? The BC has just announced its two participants in the 2013 Nominating Committee. While they will carry participation inside the NC, all BC members should be aware of and concernedabout the Nominating Committee's functions. I hope we can demystify what it is, and why it is important to understand for our broader BC membership. Appointees to the NC do not represent a Constituency, but work independently, once appointed. This is a hard, and responsible role for all appointees. The Nominating Committee carries a high degree of responsibility, but at present is still working to implement the recommendations of the ATRT. I want to call all BC members attention to critically important background about past NC reports and bylaw and code of conduct. information about the Nominating Committee -- see below. The 2012 Report is not available, but I have assurances from the 2012 Chair of the NC that it willbe available shortly. I will be sure it is posted to the full BC at that time. While the following are 'required' reading for our two appointees, some of the rest of us will be interested, so I am sharing with all. Other Background Materials: 2011 Report http://dakar42.icann.org/meetings/dakar2011/presentation-nomcom-28oct11-en.… 2010 Report http://cartagena39.icann.org/meetings/cartagena2010/presentation-nominating… 2009 Report http://sel.icann.org/meetings/seoul2009/presentation-nomcom-chair-30oct09-e… In addition to the Bylaws and reports listed above, the following documents are reviewed and updated as necessary for each NomCom and may also be useful information. Nominating Committee Procedures http://nomcom.icann.org/procedures-2012.htm Nominating Committee Guidelines http://nomcom.icann.org/guidelines-2012.htm Nominating Committee Code of Conduct http://nomcom.icann.org/conduct-2012.htm Thanks for your ongoing participation in the BC and your participation in the ICANN governance issues. ICANN governance improvements strengthen the BC's ability to encourage others from business to support and engage in ICANN and to participate in the BC. Marilyn Cade, BC Chair

Protection of International Olympic Committee (IOC) / Red Cross Names (RCRC) Drafting Team – Recommendations | ICANN

Current Status: Open for Public Comment Next Steps: The Drafting Team's recommendations will be updated to reflect community feedback submitted through this forum and via final agreement of the Drafting Team members. Final recommendations will then be presented to the GNSO Council for its consideration. Staff Contact: Brian Peck, Margie Milam Email: Policy-staff(a)icann.org Detailed Information Section I: Description, Explanation, and Purpose As a result of IOC/RCRC being granted top level protections for the first round of the new gTLD program, the IOC/RCRC Drafting Team was further tasked to consider whether the same protections should be afforded at the second level prior to the first delegation of a new gTLD. Since the beginning of 2012, the IOC/RCRC Drafting Team (DT) has deliberated about possible second level protections and how to respond to the GAC's request for protections. The DT now submits the recommendations formulated by the DT and makes them available for public comment before final submission to the GNSO Council. Note from the IOC/RCRC Drafting Team Chair: These recommendations are being posted at the request of the Drafting Team. Although some members of the Drafting Team believe that a PDP is not necessary at this time to grant second level protections for the IOC/RCRC, a consensus of the DT does in fact agree that a PDP represents an appropriate compromise on this issue. With respect to the Recommendations #2 and #3 (temporary protection at second level), there is strong support amongst the Drafting Team for those recommendations with opposition from the Non-commercial Stakeholder Group and Thomas Rickert. A copy of statements from certain constituencies, stakeholder groups, and/or individuals is attached as appendices to the recommendations. Section II: Background The ICANN Board had requested policy advice from the GNSO Council and the GAC on whether special protections should be afforded to the RCRC, IOC and/or IGOs. Specifically, in its Singapore resolution, the Board authorized the President and CEO to implement the New gTLD Program "which includes the following elements: "the 30 May 2011 version of the Applicant Guidebook, subject to the revisions agreed to with the GAC on 19 June 2011, including: ...(b) incorporation of text concerning protection for specific requested Red Cross and IOC names for the top level only during the initial application round, until the GNSO and GAC develop policy advice based on the global public interest....." During September 2011, the GAC also sent advice to the GNSO with a proposal for granting second level protections based upon the protections afforded to IOC/RCRC at the first level. In the same month, section 2.2.1.2.3 was added to the latest version of the new gTLD Applicant Guidebook dated 19 September 2011. As a result of the GAC proposal submitted to the GNSO, the GNSO Council created a call for volunteers to form a drafting team about creating a response to the GAC. The IOC/RCRC Drafting Team was formed has since created a set of recommendations for protecting the IOC/RCRC names at the second level and includes an outline for a response to the GAC from the GNSO. The Drafting Team now wishes to solicit feedback from the community prior to submission of the recommendations to the GNSO Council. See the IOC/RCRC Drafting Team page for more detail at: http://gnso.icann.org/en/group-activities/red-cross-ioc.htm Section III: Document and Resource Links IOC/RCRC Drafting Team Recommendations Report [PDF, 152 KB] Section IV: Additional Information None (*) Comments submitted after the posted Close Date/Time are not guaranteed to be considered in any final summary, analysis, reporting, or decision-making that takes place once this period lapses.
