FYI: ICANN is making several changes in the Schedule/introducing new workshops/
by Marilyn Cade March 9, 2012

March 9, 2012

Dear members I know we are all feeling a little buffetted by the lateness in the ICANN agenda and availability of agendas for various workshops. I wanted to call your attention to two rather major changes on Monday: a new workshop that was given 2 hours, which is a considerable amount of time, has resulted in other agenda changes which are problemmatic to the BC's ability to fully participate in two important workshops: WHOIS RT and ICANN and the Internet Governance Landscape. It is regrettable that ICANN is struggling with the details of the agenda and the materials. There are also now late publication of some other materials, so we will all have some on site work to do to get caught up on new details. I do appreciate your flexibility and the good will that the BC members always show in dealing with such challenges. I know we are all once again drowning in last minute stuff, but that means that the staff is probably also feeling a bit buffetted. We will do our best, but I think we may have some discussions by email over the Sat/Sun on substance topics. Travel safely, and just a heads up: it is lovely and warm here during day, but I think a light jacket may be needed [or for men, your suit jacket may feel good!] I just got here and I can tell I'll be a bit chilly during the evenings. Ayesha has been here a day more so may have an insight... I will ask Bene to do a new version of our marked up BC meeting schedule [the one with the orange codes] and publish it on Sunday. that way, she can catch any further changes that happen. M

Re: [bc-gnso] Kieren's summary of the status of RAA discussions

Most of us in the BC sully supported your analysis, Phil. I know that a former member of ours felt otherwise because of the double voting, but this compromise hasn't worked well.

Kieren's analysis on the RAA negotiations appears, sadly, right on target. Relating to the BC discussions on the topic, his paragraph on the PDP option explains exactly why we should be concerned: "ICANN's formal policy development process (PDP) is supposed to be where big policy issues are decided, and registrars have been arguing for some time that this is the best and most effective route to revise the RAA. The reality however is that due to the shoddy restructuring of ICANN's policy body, the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) and its main Council, that there is currently very little confidence in the process. Despite planned revisions to the PDP process, the reality remains that registrars are effectively able to veto any changes - and have done so repeatedly. On top of that, there is significantly bad blood created over the past three years due to manipulations of the process, especially surrounding the RAA. It may be the most appropriate route, but it is unlikely to be the most smooth of effective. Likelihood of happening: Medium to High Likely effectiveness: Low to Medium" Jim -----Original Message----- From: owner-bc-gnso(a)icann.org [mailto:owner-bc-gnso@icann.org] On Behalf Of Mike O'Connor Sent: Wednesday, March 07, 2012 10:18 AM To: bc - GNSO list Subject: [bc-gnso] Kieren's summary of the status of RAA discussions the topic came up on the Monday call -- Kieren just published his view here; http://news.dot-nxt.com/2012/03/07/raa-talks-what-now mikey - - - - - - - - - phone 651-647-6109 fax 866-280-2356 web http://www.haven2.com handle OConnorStP (ID for public places like Twitter, Facebook, Google, etc.) ----- No virus found in this message.

Comments on IRTP-B - Standardized WHOIS Status Messages
by Mike O'Connor March 5, 2012

March 5, 2012

hi all, i volunteered to have a look at this issue with an eye to providing BC comments. here's a link to the public-comment page if you'd like to go deeper than what i say in this note. http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/irtp-b-rec8-21feb12-en.htm first, a brief synopsis. the IRTP-B working group agreed that the current situation with regard to WHOIS status messages is confusing to registrants and presents operational issues for registrars and registries. we suggested that these messages be standardized in as simple a way as possible and, after some wrangling, concluded that the easiest way to do this is to: -- establish a clear definition of each status code in the EPP (extensible provisioning protocol - which is the standard by which transactions are structured between registrars and registries) -- establish and ICANN-controlled website where all these definitions would be maintained, and -- required that registrars provide a link to the relevant part of that web page next to next to the status in any WHOIS output this has already been through one round of public comment and has been approved by the GNSO Council. the comment deadline is 25-March. my suggestion is that we support this change for the following reasons: -- it will reduce confusion and errors for registrants -- it's a fast, light, simple approach to solving the problem -- it does not require any changes to the underlying protocol -- it is easy to maintain if there *are* changes to the protocol in the future why don't we kick this around on the list a bit and then i'll write up results with correct capitalization and punctuation. :-) mikey - - - - - - - - - phone 651-647-6109 fax 866-280-2356 web http://www.haven2.com handle OConnorStP (ID for public places like Twitter, Facebook, Google, etc.)

Status of drafting team work on reserved names for Olympics & Red Cross
by Steve DelBianco March 1, 2012

March 1, 2012

BC members — here's a status report on a GNSO working group, created to respond to GAC's request for reserved status on Olympics and Red Cross — at both the top and second level. I am on this working Group and we have a call tomorrow (Friday) with the GAC to tell them about our progress. This will be a topic in Costa Rica as well. Your comments and suggestions welcome. -- Steve DelBianco From: Jeff Neuman <Jeff.Neuman(a)neustar.us<mailto:Jeff.Neuman@neustar.us>> Date: Tue, 28 Feb 2012 23:41:06 -0500 To: "council(a)gnso.icann.org<mailto:council@gnso.icann.org>" <council(a)gnso.icann.org<mailto:council@gnso.icann.org>> Cc: "gnso-iocrc-dt(a)icann.org<mailto:gnso-iocrc-dt@icann.org>" <gnso-iocrc-dt(a)icann.org<mailto:gnso-iocrc-dt@icann.org>> Subject: [gnso-iocrc-dt] FW: IOC/RC Drafting Team Status Report FYI.

Although this report was shared with the members of the Drafting Team, it was drafted by me as the Chair, and as such is not an official report from the Drafting Team. It represents the Chair’s current understanding of the discussions of the Drafting Team. Each of the recommendations addressed in this report are still under review by the GNSO Community. We are providing this report to assist in the discussions between the Drafting Team, interested GNSO Councilors and GAC members on March 2, 2012. Please feel free to forward this report to the other members of the GAC as I will be sending this to the GNSO Council as well. We look forward to a productive call this Friday as well as in Costa Rica at the ICANN meeting. Best regards, Jeffrey J.
