FW: ICANN / Budget FY13 / SO-AC request process and template
by Lesley Cowley Dec. 8, 2011

Dec. 8, 2011

Hi, As part of the FY2013 budget process, the new ICANN CFO has asked each of the SO/AC Chairs for any specific budget requests for items that are not already in the recurring ICANN budget. Given our previous discussions on financial matters, I was rather assuming that there would not be any ccNSO requests. However, just in case there are, the email and the template are attached FYI and I suggest that any requests should be considered by the Council on our next call. Therefore, if there are any requests, please could you let me know. Many thanks, Lesley

Geographic Regions WG Draft Final Report
by Gabriella Schittek Dec. 8, 2011

Dec. 8, 2011

Dear all, ICANN’s community-wide Working Group on Geographic Regions has published their draft final report http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-3-30sep11-en.htm (available in all six UN languages). A comment period has also opened until 19 December 2011. In 2007, the ccNSO Council approved a resolution, recommending the formation of a community-wide working group to study and review the issues related to the current definition of the ICANN Geographic Regions. The community-wide working group has analysed the background and principles of the current definition and has consulted with the community on how they should be maintained in the future. Based on this, the Draft Final Report presents recommendations from the Working Group to the ICANN Board on how the present Geographic Regions Framework can be updated, whilst the principles of geographic and cultural diversity remain. The Working Group will also present its recommendations to the ccNSO at the Dakar meeting. Kind regards, Gabi

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 2012. 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. ------ End of Forwarded Message
