NTIA says ICANN does not meet requirements for IANA renewal
by Steve DelBianco March 10, 2012

March 10, 2012

This just in… http://domainincite.com/ntia-says-icann-does-not-meet-the-requirements-for-… NTIA says ICANN “does not meet the requirements” for IANA renewal<http://domainincite.com/ntia-says-icann-does-not-meet-the-requirements-for-…> Kevin Murphy<http://domainincite.com/about>, March 10, 2012, 15:21:51 (UTC), Domain Policy<http://domainincite.com/category/domain-policy/> The National Telecommunications and Information Administration has dealt a stunning blow to ICANN in its bid to carry on running the internet’s critical IANA functions. The NTIA said this hour that it has canceled the RFP for the new IANA contract “because we received no proposals that met the requirements requested by the global community” NTIA thinks that ICANN’s bid was unsatisfactory, in other words. The NTIA said<http://ntia.doc.gov/other-publication/2012/notice-internet-assigned-numbers…>: Based on the input received from stakeholders around the world, NTIA added new requirements to the IANA functions’ statement of work, including the need for structural separation of policymaking from implementation, a robust companywide conflict of interest policy, provisions reflecting heightened respect for local country laws, and a series of consultation and reporting requirements to increase transparency and accountability to the international community. The government may cancel any solicitation that does not meet the requirements. Accordingly, we are cancelling this RFP because we received no proposals that met the requirements requested by the global community. The Department intends to reissue the RFP at a future date to be determined (TBD) so that the requirements of the global internet community can be served. However, it has extended<http://ntia.doc.gov/other-publication/2012/notice-extension-internet-assign…> ICANN’s current IANA contract until September 30, 2012. This means ICANN still has its IANA powers over the DNS root zone, at least for another six months. While the NTIA has not yet revealed where ICANN’s bid for the contract fell short, it is known that the NTIA and ICANN’s senior management did not exactly see eye to eye on certain issues. One of the key sticking points is the NTIA’s demand that the IANA contractor – ICANN – must document that all new gTLD delegations are in “the global public interest”. This demand is a way to prevent another controversy such as the approval of .xxx a year ago, which the Governmental Advisory Committee objected to on the grounds that it was not the “the global public interest”. Coupled with newly strengthened<http://domainincite.com/gac-gets-more-power-to-block-controversial-gtlds/> Applicant Guidebook powers for the GAC to object to new gTLD application, the IANA language could be described as “if the GAC objects, you must reject”. If the GAC were to declare .gay or .catholic “not in the global public interest”, it would be pretty tough for ICANN to prove otherwise. But ICANN CEO Rod Beckstrom has previously stated that he believed such rules imposed by the US government would undermine the multistakeholder process. He told the NTIA<http://domainincite.com/icann-fights-government-gtld-power-grab/> last June that the draft IANA contract language stood to “rewrite” ICANN’s own process when it came to approving new gTLDs. The IANA functions contract should not be used to rewrite the policy and implementation process adopted through the bottom-up decision-making process. Not only would this undermine the very principle of the multi-stakeholder model, it would be inconsistent with the objective of more clearly distinguishing policy development from operational implementation by the IANA functions operator. Since then, language requiring ICANN to prove “consensus” on new gTLD delegations was removed, but language requiring it to demonstrate the “global public interest” remains. The game is bigger than petty squabbling about new gTLDs, however. The US government is worried about International Telecommunications Union treaty talks later this year, which many countries want to use to push for government-led internet governance. A strong GAC, backed by an enforceable IANA contract, is one way to field concerns that ICANN is not responsive enough to government interests. It’s tempting to view the deferral of the IANA renewal as an attempt to wait out Beckstrom’s tenure as CEO – he’s set to leave at the end of June – and deal with a more compliant replacement instead. UPDATE: Shortly after this story was published the NTIA belatedly released its rationale for the decision. Read about it here.<http://domainincite.com/ntia-says-icann-does-not-meet-the-requirements-for-…>

Thefts of Laptops and bags in conference rooms in Costa Rica

> > FYI. > > My bag was stolen. It had my passport, laptop, phones, credit cards and cash. Only left with my IPAD. Will be making it over to Doubletree. Have spent time with police, courts and immigration department. Apparently there is an organised group of some colombians here that are coming into conference rooms posing to be participants and drop their bag and walk out with bags belonging to others. So a warning to all to beware. > The Minister of Science and Technology here has been an angel getting me assistance with replacement travel documents etc. Their cooperation was unbelievably wonderful and efficient.

ICANN Stakeholder Satisfaction Survey Results to be Presented: Preview
by Marilyn Cade March 9, 2012

March 9, 2012

I would like to invite a few BC members to join me and Chris in attending this session. Again, thanks to those of youwho did participate. I heard back from Ayesha that she can participate, and we could use a couple more. Again, we will all be interacting as individuals, but I will probably ask Chris to set up and help me organize a follow up discussion with members about the impilcations of the survey, after we hear staff's overviews. Marilyn CadeBC Chair De : Kurt Pritz <kurt.pritz(a)icann.org> Thank you for your recent efforts to circulate the initial ICANN Stakeholder Satisfaction Survey to your respective communities. We have tabulated the results and have produced a package of materials for interested community members. I have attached an executive summary of the survey results for your information that you may forward to members of your communities. We have posted the full survey administrator report (including much of the raw survey response data) on a special new page on the ICANN Community Wiki at https://community.icann.org/x/IaXbAQ. The ICANN staff will be reviewing the survey results on a department-by-department basis to identify opportunities for short-term and longer-term improvements. There is no need to read and digest this material now, we will be presenting the material in a workshop created as the first opportunity for community input at the upcoming Public Meeting in San Jose, Costa Rica. The session will "unveil" the survey results as well as launch a community feedback on the process, design and logistics of future survey efforts (see http://costarica43.icann.org/node/29733) We wanted to provide you a preview. This initial survey effort has been a learning experience. We would like the next survey effort to incorporate feedback and advice from your communities so that we can expand participation in future surveys, focus questions on the areas that need attention and address productive and meaningful changes in areas where it is warranted. Thank you for your support of this effort. See you shortly in San Jose. Best regards, Kurt Pritz
