The Secretariat of the BC is off today, so I am forwarding relevant ICANN postings. this is an important one. I would ask that our BC members with particular interest and expertise in this topic to advise Steve DelBianco, our V.Chair of Policy Coordination. We will discuss this on our next BC call. Best regards, Marilyn Cade, BC Chair ++++++++++++++++++++++ Dear SO/AC Chairs,Recognizing the broad interest in the ICANN community on the RAA negotiations, we wanted to provide you with a brief update on the work conducted since the Prague Meeting for you to share with your members.Since Prague, the negotiation teams have reviewed the input received from the Community in order to identify possible path forwards on the complex issues that have been put on the table in these negotiations. Several meetings have taken place and are scheduled prior to Toronto, including plans to invite the GAC to provide input from data protection experts on several specific issues. There is also an agreement among the negotiation teams to begin analysis of a potential framework for a privacy/proxy accreditation program to be explored with the broader ICANN community.For more information on these important negotiations, please visit the ICANN wiki at: https://community.icann.org/display/RAA/Negotiations+Between+ICANN+and+Regis...
