Fwd: PayPal Security Security Concerns Regarding New gTLDS
by Smith, Bill March 16, 2013

March 16, 2013

I am sharing a letter I just sent to ICANN regarding security concerns PayPal has with certain strings that ICANN might delegate into the root as part of the gTLD process. Our concerns are not related to any applicant, any application, or a desire to interfere with the gTLD process. Rather, we are concerned that ICANN may not be adequately considering the implications of delegating strings like "corp" into the root. Hopefully the attached letter explains our position on these issues but I am available should anyone wish to discuss our concerns. Best Regards, Bill Begin forwarded message: > > Fadi & Steve, > > Attached is a copy of a letter outlining some concerns that PayPal has regarding certain strings that might be delegated in the new gTLD process. These concerns revolve around common strings like "corp" that have been used for decades within organizations and remain in use today. > > It is our belief that a large number of individual users and corporate entities could be negatively impacted should these strings be delegated. Of course we would be happy to discuss this issue with you or others within ICANN. It is not our intention to disrupt the new gTLD process, but rather to ensure that it proceeds smoothly and with minimal negative consequences. > > Best Regards, > > Bill >

Registry Conf Call & Proposal for meeting with .BRANDS
by Ron Andruff March 14, 2013

March 14, 2013

Good morning all. Just sending a note to the list to inquire as to how many BC members will be on the Registry call that is starting now? Perhaps our Secretriat could pull together a list for everyone's benefit? Separately, in preparation for this call I was going through the filings and came to realize (again) that that there are 637 .BRANDS from the 1900. Many of them are brands we know and some are BC members. Others we don't know. Question for the Ex Com: Would it not make sense to invite the .BRANDS to come to meet the BC in Beijing? For my part, it would be extremely helpful to hear from them and to have an opportunity to learn more. Perhaps we could invite them for the CSG breakfast on Tuesday, if guests have not already been scheduled for that meeting slot. It seems to me that BC members would benefit greatly from meeting with businesses that are applying for top-level domains. My two cents. Kind regards, RA Ronald N. Andruff RNA Partners, Inc. <http://www.rnapartners.com>

"Study Group on the Use of Names for Countries and Territories" Draft Draft Final Report
by Chris Chaplow March 13, 2013

March 13, 2013

Dear BC members, As some of you may remember I am a GNSO observer on the ccNSO “Study Group on the Use of Names for Countries and Territories” The group will meet in Beijing and although it is often marked as ‘closed’ on the schedule community members are welcome to join. We have now reached the stage of the first version of a draft report. Please note, it is presented as a “straw man”. As Paul Szylinder, the Chair states “From previous experience, I have assumed that the presentation of a rough draft text provides the best impetus for stakeholders to provide comment. That is precisely what I invite you all to do.” Please bear in mind this is a study group and not a working group. It is a ‘state of play’ document. Nothing in it will be relevant to the current first round of gTLD applications but it may be used by ICANN and Stakeholder for guidance in the second round. As any early comments gratefully received and I am open to discuss with members who are interested in this subject at any time. Next steps will be the publication of this draft Final report after Beijing and then a Final report for reception by the ccNSO council.

Apologies for the postponement of our last teleconference and for the amount of time it has taken to reach our next stage - the preparation of a draft final report. We had previously set a tight timeframe for calls leading up to Beijing and the process of summarising and distilling the discussions we have had over the last two years has been challenging. That said – a first draft report is attached. Please note, it is presented as a “straw man”. >From previous experience, I have assumed that the presentation of a rough draft text provides the best impetus for stakeholders to provide comment. That is precisely what I invite you all to do. On today’s call I would simply like to walk everyone through this new document, invite preliminary reactions, and seek considered comments over the next week-or-so.

ALERTS From the Secretariat: Proposed 2013 RAA Posted for Comment
by Benedetta Rossi March 8, 2013

March 8, 2013

Dear BC Members, Please find below an ICANN announcement regarding the Proposed 2013 RAA posted for Comment. Thank you, Kind Regards, Benedetta Rossi BC Secretariat https://community.icann.org/display/gnsobc/Home www.bizconst.org bc-secretariat(a)icann.org https://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/proposed-raa-07mar13-en.htm Proposed 2013 RAA Posted for Comment Comment / Reply Periods (*) Comment Open Date: 7 March 2013 Comment Close Date: 28 March 2013 - 23:59 UTC Reply Open Date: 29 March 2013 Reply Close Date: 19 April 2013 - 23:59 UTC Important Information Links Public Comment Announcement <https://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-2-07mar13-en.htm> To Submit Your Comments (Forum) <mailto:comments-proposed-raa-07mar13@icann.org> View Comments Submitted <http://forum.icann.org/lists/comments-proposed-raa-07mar13/> Brief Overview Originating Organization: ICANN Categories/Tags: * Contracted Party Agreements Purpose (Brief): ICANN is seeking public comments on a Proposed 2013 Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA), particularly on areas where ICANN and the Registrar Negotiating Team have not been able to reach agreement in principle. This represents the first time in the nearly 18 months of negotiations that community comment is formally sought on this document. Current Status: ICANN and the Registrar Negotiating Team commenced negotiation on amendments to the RAA in October 2011. While the documents posted today show many areas of agreement, there are differences between the ICANN and Registrar positions are highlighted. In addition, further discussion is still ongoing regarding some of the specifications to the agreement. Next Steps: After review of the comment received, the proposed 2013 RAA will be reviewed to determine if further changes are warranted. In addition, ICANN and the Registrar NT are likely to continue discussions regarding the areas where the specifications remain open. The ultimate goal is to have a 2013 RAA completed and approved in the near future. Staff Contact: Samantha Eisner, Senior Counsel Email Staff Contact <mailto:samantha.eisner@icann.org?subject=More%20information%20on%20the%20Proposed%202013%20RAA%20Posted%20for%20Comment%20public%20comment%20period> Detailed Information Section I: Description, Explanation, and Purpose: After nearly 18 months of negotiations, ICANN is posting a new version of the proposed 2013 Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA) for public comment. The Registrar Negotiating Team (NT) has continued to engage in good faith negotiations to understand ICANN's perspective with respect to the outstanding issues, and to share the often divergent positions within the Registrar Stakeholder Group. Recently, additional revisions were proposed by ICANN's Negotiating Team stemming from the call by ICANN's CEO, Fadi Chehadé, to work to improve the image of the domain industry and to protect registrants through a further updated contractual framework. The Registrar NT considered each of these new issues, and worked towards finding solutions where appropriate. The RAA posted today reflects hard-fought concessions on many of key issues raised throughout the negotiations, and highlights issues remaining in order for the final 2013 RAA agreement to be reached. Throughout the RAA and its Specifications, there are portions where two versions of draft text appear side by side. These highlight areas where ICANN and the Registrars have not been able to reach agreement in principle on an issue, therefore both positions are provided for comment. Unless otherwise noted, the remainder of the document reflects agreements in principle among ICANN and the Registrar NT. A fuller discussion of the status of negotiations and areas of difference is available in ICANN's RAA Posting Memorandum <https://www.icann.org/en/resources/registrars/raa/memo-07mar13-en.pdf>[PDF, 66 KB]. Section II: Background: The current round of negotiations over the RAA began in October 2011. ICANN and the Registrar Negotiation Team have presented updates to the community at each of ICANN's public meetings since that time. Information on the history of the negotiations, including previously released documentation, is available at the community wiki at https://community.icann.org/display/RAA/Negotiations+Between+ICANN+and+Regi…. This includes the group of documents posted in June 2012, which demonstrated the progress to date in the negotiations. Section III: Document and Resource Links: There are multiple documents for review as part of this posting. The new RAA is anticipated to be a base document with a series of specifications attached. This posting includes all documents that are currently anticipated to be part of the 2013 a.
