FILED: BC comment on Policy Advisory Boards
by Steve DelBianco May 17, 2014

May 17, 2014

Finding no objections from members by today's designated deadline, we deem the attached draft as approved. Thanks to Ron Andruff for moving quickly to draft these comments. -Steve From: Steve DelBianco <sdelbianco(a)netchoice.org<mailto:sdelbianco@netchoice.org>> Date: Wednesday, May 7, 2014 at 7:26 PM To: BC Private <bc-private(a)icann.org<mailto:bc-private@icann.org>> Cc: Ron Andruff <ra(a)dotsportllc.com<mailto:ra@dotsportllc.com>> Subject: FOR REVIEW BY 16-MAY: BC comment on Policy Advisory Boards ICANN has a public comment period on a Proposal for the Use of Mandatory Policy Advisory Boards for Regulated Industry Sector and Consumer-Trust-Sensitive New gTLD Strings. (link<http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/pab-new-gtld-strings-21mar14-en…>) At last week's BC call, Ron Andruff volunteered to draft a brief BC comment. Ron's natural for this one, since he was among the originators of this idea (link<http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/pab-new-gtld-strings-21mar14-en…>). Ron's draft comment is attached. Please review and comment by 16-May. (I informed ICANN staff that we would file on 17-May, even though the comment period closes today). As for prior BC positions: See Feb-2012 BC letter to ICANN Board, where we originated the idea of having ICANN enface commitments made by new gTLD applicants. (link<http://www.bizconst.org/Positions-Statements/BC%20request%20for%20implement…>) In our Jun-2013 comment on GAC Safeguards (link), we said this about industry self-regulation regarding TLDs for regulated markets: With respect to Safeguard (4) above, the BC believes that working consultation with relevant regulatory and industry bodies, especially for the purpose of jointly developing harm mitigation strategies, will promote self- regulatory best practices that will improve consumer disclosure and protection. Also See Mar-2013 BC comment on PIC specs (link<http://www.bizconst.org/Positions-Statements/BC%20Comment%20on%20new%20gTLD…>)

FILED: BC comment on ICANN's proposed process for IANA transition
by Steve DelBianco May 10, 2014

May 10, 2014

Today we filed the attached comment on ICANN's proposed principles and process for IANA transition. During the review period, several members said they supported the comment. One member (Laura Covington) suggested we cite the NETmundial success in our appeal to open the process more. To that end, I added this to item 3: Each constituency should be allowed to name individuals to the Steering/Convening Committee, with the goal of having the same broad representation of interests that made NETmundial successful. Thanks again to Phil, Marilyn, Aparna, and Andrew for contributing to the draft. From: Steve DelBianco <sdelbianco(a)netchoice.org<mailto:sdelbianco@netchoice.org>> Date: Monday, May 5, 2014 at 11:44 AM To: BC Private <bc-private(a)icann.org<mailto:bc-private@icann.org>> Subject: FOR REVIEW BY 8-MAY: Draft BC comment on ICANN's proposed process for IANA transition ICANN is accepting comments on their proposed principles and process for IANA transition planning. When you look at the public comment page (link<http://www.icann.org/en/about/agreements/iana/transition/draft-proposal-08a…>), it's clear we are to comment only on the process and scope ICANN has proposed - not on the substantive elements or outcomes of the transition. Please be sure to read ICANN's scoping document, too (link<http://www.icann.org/en/about/agreements/iana/iana-transition-scoping-08apr…>). Thanks to BC members who helped with this draft, starting with Phil Corwin, Marilyn Cade, Aparna Sridhar, and Andrew Mack. This comment is due 8-May. Our draft is just over 1 page in length, so the BC Executive Committee has approved a 3-day expedited review period. Please reply-all with your comments or in-line edits to the attached doc. If lively debate is continuing on 8-May, we will extend the BC review period and inform ICANN that we will be a few days late.
