AIM's BC representative
by Philip Sheppard Nov. 10, 2011

Nov. 10, 2011

As I mentioned before AIM 's representative to the BC is now Marie Pattullo. I thought you may like to see a short profile about Marie. After qualifying as a solicitor in the City of London, Marie moved to Brussels in 1993 and worked in private practice before joining AIM, the European Brands Association, in 2000. As AIM represents the branded goods industries in Europe on key issues which affect the ability of brand manufacturers to design, distribute and market their brands, Marie's role encompasses coordination of the association's vital brand protection work. Via its Trade Mark Committee, AIM is, inter alia, a founder member of the OHIM (EU trademark office) Users Group, an observer to the OHIM Administrative Board and an observer at WIPO. The AIM Anti-Counterfeiting Committee brings together AIM's members with other right holders and their associations in the largest such network actively fighting counterfeiting and piracy at European level. Marie thus works closely with all European institutions engaged in IP and brand protection matters and with the relevant experts, particularly in trade mark administration, protection and enforcement, from the members of AIM and the wider industry.

Board Resolution re: SAC051 Recommendations
by Marilyn Cade Nov. 10, 2011

Nov. 10, 2011

Dear members, with apologies for sending this directly, rather via Secretariat with our new process, I wanted to add this topic to our BC call today, given its priority to all BC members as a topic of interest. We will organize a separate discussion, with Steve and Chris's collaboration, as this topic cuts across our larger ICANN governance input, and has implications for our Strat Plan, and Budget and Ops Plan input, as well as implications for outreach into the broader eco system of providers of Internet resources that rely on the DNS, but are broader in implications. Marilyn CadeBC Chair From: julie.hedlund(a)icann.org To: soac-discussion(a)icann.org Date: Wed, 9 Nov 2011 12:24:34 -0800 Subject: [soac-discussion] Board Resolution re: SAC051 Recommendations Board Resolution re: SAC051 Recommendations Dear Chairs and Vice Chairs of the ICANN Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees, Per the Board Resolution passed on 28 October 2011 at: http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/resolutions-28oct11-en.htm#5 and listed below, the Board directed staff to forward SAC051 “SSAC Report on WHOIS Terminology and Structure” to ICANN’s Advisory Committees and Supporting Organizations for their advice, if any, with regards to implementing the SSAC recommendations. Please refer to SAC051 at: http://www.icann.org/en/committees/security/sac051.pdf and, in particular, to the recommendations listed below. Please send your advice to me at julie.hedlund(a)icann.org not later than 09 January 2011. Please also let me know if you have any questions. Thank you very much for your assistance in this matter. Best regards, Julie Hedlund Director, SSAC Support Recommendations from Security and Stability Advisory Committee Report on Whois Terminology & Structure (SAC051) Whereas, WHOIS service has been an important information service for the Internet community, and is part of all ICANN TLD contracts. Whereas, the shortcomings of the WHOIS protocol have been known for some time. Whereas, on 20 September 2011, ICANN's Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC) published a report "SSAC Report on Domain Name WHOIS Terminology and Structure" (SAC 051), including specific recommendations aimed at clarity of terminology and structure with regard to discussions regarding WHOIS. Resolved (2011.10.28.26), the Board hereby acknowledges the receipt of SAC 051, and thanks SSAC and other contributors for their efforts in the creation of the report. Resolved (2011.10.28.27), the Board directs staff to produce, in consultation with the community, a roadmap for the coordination of the technical and policy discussions necessary to implement the recommendations outlined in SAC 051. Resolved (2011.10.28.28), the Board directs staff to forward SAC 051 to ICANN's Advisory Committees and Supporting Organizations for their advice, if any, with regards to implementing the SSAC recommendations, and to forward SAC 051 to the Whois Review Team SAC051 Recommendations: Recommendation 1: The ICANN community should adopt the terminology outlined in this report in documents and discussions, in particular: · Domain Name Registration Data (DNRD). The data that domain name registrants provide when registering a domain name and that registrars or registries collects. · Domain Name Registration Data Access Protocol (DNRD-AP). The components of a (standard) communications exchange—queries and responses—that specify the access to DNRD. · Doman Name Registration Data Directory Service (DNRD-DS). The service(s) offered by domain name registries and registrars to implement the DNRD-AP and to provide access to DNRD-DSD. Additional terminology includes “DNRDe,” “DNRD Policy,” “DNRD-DS Policy,” “Internationalized DNRD,” and “Localized DNRD.” The term “WHOIS” should only be used when referring to the protocol as currently specified in RFC 3912. Recommendation 2: The ICANN community should evaluate and adopt a replacement domain name registration data access protocol that supports the query and display of Internationalized DNRD as well as addressing the relevant recommendations in SAC 003, SAC 027 and SAC 033. Recommendation 3: The ICANN community should develop a uniform and standard framework for accessing DNRD that would provide mechanisms to define and implement a range of verification methods, credential services, and access control capabilities.

ICANN 2012-2015 strategic plan
by Chris Chaplow Nov. 1, 2011

Nov. 1, 2011

Dear Martin and Jordi As you know I am putting together a draft BC comment on the ICANN 2012-2015 strategic plan http://www.icann.org/en/strategic-plan/draft-strategic-plan-2012-2015-redlin e-03oct11-en.pdf I was wondering if you had any comments or thoughts on these two para on page 7 Coordinate DNS globalEnhance risk management and resiliency of the three unique identifiers. This is an area where ICANNs efforts will directly influence the improvement of the overall DNS and other unique identifiers (IP, AS numbers, ports & parameters) security and stability through international participation in continuity exercises, training and emergency simulations. ICANN will coordinate improved global DNS risk management through registry and registrar continuity planning and performance of business interruption simulation exercises. ICANN will work with others to protect the integrity of the global DNS through initiatives such as training for TLD operators. ICANN will also encourage collaboration with the global computer security and incident response community to improve and seek to promote work in the community to develop BCP and testing to address risks and threats. ICANN will seek to work with others to develop objective risk management models. Improve responses to DNS security incidents. Security threats to the Internet continue to increase and with this increase comes the need for improvements in the processes and systems organizations use to respond to security incidents. ICANN will continue the program for annual DNS risk assessment and systemic contingency planning and work with the community to develop effective and efficient methods of response to DNS security incidents. ICANN will support the formation and planning efforts of a new working group on DNS risk management. ICANN will also help initiate a DNS risk management study with community and outside experts.

Announcement of Election of Vice chair from Non Contracted Users House - Wolf Ulrich Knoben, from ISP Constituency
by Marilyn Cade Oct. 27, 2011

Oct. 27, 2011

Dear members I share the GNSO Secretariat's announcement of the outcome of the 'House" election of our Vice Chair for the GNSO Council. Background that may be useful: For those of you new to the complex, layered approach of the organizational structure of the GNSO, the bylaws provide for Stakeholder Groups, which are organized into two Houses, and for three Nominating Committee appointees, who work together on managing the gTLD policy process, as provided by the ICANN bylaws. The GNSO does not have a chair, per se, of the SO, unlike the ccNSO, which has different bylaws. The Council is focused on gTLD policy and is a critical activity and focus for the BC, and our larger group -- the Commercial Stakeholder Group which includes the BC, ISPs and IPC. Other wider SO issues, such as the Review Teams established by the Affirmation of Commitments, or the Strat Plan/Budget Operating Plan are managed within the leadership of the SGs and Constituencies. The election process of the Council Vice Chair from our House is managed by the leadership of the two Stakeholder Groups of our House and took some time to finalize, but the election is concluded with Wolf-Ulrich's election to that critical leadership role in the GNSO Council. The role of the Council Vice Chair from our House is to ensure that the administrative and broader policy interests of our House are incorporated into the management planning process, so not to advocate a position, but to ensure that the over time management, resource focus, etc, are taken into account in how the Council's leadership organized and plans work. Each house has a V.Chair which is elected by that House, according to their procedures. The Council Chair is elected by the sitting Councilors, similar in timing to the Board election -- e.g. at the 'annual' meeting, which is typically the last meeting of the year, the 'old' Council closes. The 'new' council takes their seats, and then the election for the next year's Chair is held. While this has some logic as it follows the Board's example, it can mean that two brand new Nominating Committee appointees vote for a Chair, without any opportunity to get to know their 'role' or said candidate(s). We will send a thank you to Mary Wong, from the Non Commercial Stakeholder Group, who was last year's Vice Chair of the Council. And a note of congratulations to Wolf Ulrich.

FW: TR: Transcript of Board meetings with RySG, RSG, CSG, NCSG
by Marilyn Cade Oct. 26, 2011

Oct. 26, 2011

this is draft for now, but the only thing that I will fix are names and spelling errors./on the CSG segment.Bene is gone now, but Chris, Steve, Zahid and I are here, so let us know if you need any help or information. I will be sending you all talking points on a couple of public forum statements I will make after review with ExComAnd tomorrow, in Meetings for the Future, as I committed, I will make a statement and will send it to you all. We will be tactful about appreciating coming to Dakar, but question ICANN's judgement on hotel endorsementand if the Gala turns out to exclude a lot of our members, I'll reference that as an expectation that should be better handled for "meetings for hte future. other talking points will be forthcoming for your review on that meeting. It's open, so come along -- I think Martin is joining Chris and I in that meeting. Others welcome, of course. Note that Ayesha is speaking in IGF Forum and I hope you will review the Newsletter -- both the Chair's column and the article, and come along to learn more if you are not well versed [as most of you are] in IGF! Also, in addition to our transcript, look for most of the Transcripts of GNSO related meetings - posted on pagehttp://gnso.icann.org/calendar/#oct Thanks to our lovely and wonderous GNSO Secretariat, [thank her and Bene/ the logistics, tech support, and many other things have been oh, so challenging. ] gnso.secretariat(a)gnso.icann.org See you all later. Public Forum suggests yet to come. One point: Ethics and Integrity: everyone is speaking in their individual capacity. I will just announce that the BC in its last pre ICANN call agreed to launch our own internal work to examine our own challenges, as well as to contribute to ICANN discussions. Other Public Forum Topics to follow with some thoughts. Steve, can you send around your PP slide with the list of topics, when you get a change tomorrow a.m.? Thanks all for your patience and your professionalism in the 'heat' of Dakar ICANN. Marilyn CadeBC Chair P.S. two constituency chairs told me they were jealous of our great work on the Newsletter! Congrats to Chris and Bene and those of you who contributed: Susan, Steve, Ayesha, Elisa, Ron, Caroline, Waudo, Mikey! And special thanks to Michele Chaplow and to Cheryl, our designer.
