The business constituency in video
by Stephane Van Gelder June 18, 2014

June 18, 2014

Colleagues, During the Singapore meeting, a few of us (I've seen videos from Elisa and Jimson but there may be others) were interviewed by ICANN to promote the BC. Please see link to a post I've just published linking to my interview: http://post.milathan.com/getting-businesses-involved-in-icann/ I also shot an interview in French, which can be used for promotion towards French-speaking communities. ICANN has informed us that the videos are there for us to do with as we please, including being put up on the BC website, which sounds like a good idea.

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.

NTIA announcement and its impact on the budget process
by Chris Chaplow April 26, 2014

April 26, 2014

BC, Just an FYI that the FY15 Draft Budget publication is delayed by the NTIA announcement. I am personally surprised that it would have large budget impact. Since outcomes would be FY16, this must be in respect to process in FY15. (July 14 to June 15) Expect more panels and advisors and funded WGs? De: community-finance-bounces(a)icann.org [mailto:community-finance-bounces@icann.org] En nombre de Xavier J. Calvez Enviado el: sábado, 26 de abril de 2014 6:50 Para: community-finance(a)icann.org CC: BFC Asunto: [community-finance] FY15 Budget draft: Update on the process timeline Dear SO/AC leaders and community members, I would like to provide an update on the Operating/Budget process: you may have noticed that we have not published the draft FY15 Budget information for public comment yesterday, as originally planned. Instead, the publication of the FY15 Draft Operating plan and Budget will be delayed until a tentative date of May 8th. Kickoff calls will be rescheduled to the days following this date. The main driver to this delay is the NTIA announcement and its impact on the budget process: the management needed to change the allocation of resources in order to allow the organization to prioritize the USG transition work, and therefore adjust the resource allocation of the rest of the organization. Performing this exercise, and communicating it thoroughly with the BFC, has added approximately 2 weeks to the process of finalizing the draft budget. The BFC and Board are meeting during a workshop from Monday 28th to Wednesday 30th of April (next week). During these meetings, the full updated schedule of the budget process until Board approval will be determined by the BFC and reviewed for consent by the Board. We will then publish a more comprehensive announcement relative to this timeline change. We are not happy to delay a significant milestone of the process, but needed to dedicate the necessary amount of time to take into account the change of circumstances. We appreciate your patience and understanding in this transition phase. Best regards, Xavier
