FW: ccNSO Emoji Study Group
by Katrina Sataki Oct. 23, 2018

Oct. 23, 2018

Forwarded message: From: Roelof Meijer <Roelof.Meijer(a)sidn.nl> Date: Tuesday, 23 October 2018 at 15:45 To: Katrina Sataki <katrina(a)nic.lv> Cc: Bart Boswinkel <bart.boswinkel(a)icann.org> Subject: ccNSO Emoji Study Group Dear Katrina, dear ccNSO Council Members, I would like to bring the following to your attention. As you know, during the presentation by Peter Koch, I raised the question of the Emoji SG striking a good balance between investigating the potential of using emoji’s at the second level versus the issues of doing that. Although I received the confirmation that such a balance will be sought, I -having read the “Purpose and Scope of Activities” of the WG- remain a worried about the angle the study group seems to be taking. I have attached the “Purpose and Scope of Activities” document, in which I marked passages that to me suggests a biased focus. Words as “risks”, “threats” and “issues” are all over the document, while nowhere terms like “value”, “innovation”, “demand”, “user experience” appear. Emoji’s have become part of our lives. One might say that they help us making digital contact/exchange between people a fuller experience, enabling us to better and faster express and share emotions, and so closing a bit of the gap between online and F2F social contact. I am definitely not a technical expert on this matter and possibly we will later rightfully conclude that emoji’s are not a viable option in 2nd level domains. However, we now seem to be starting from the assumption that emojis in domains are (only) bad. Starting from that angle will just lead to its confirmation and not provide a drive to solve seemingly blocking issues. If we start from the assumption (which we should investigate) that emoji’s in/as 2nd level domains have a huge potential, will create and meet a demand, will innovate our name spaces and will increase the relevance of domain names especially for young people (imagine your own email address with emoji) and thus will provide true value, this will drive and motivate us to address and solve issues. If we succeed, as a bonus, ccTLDs will get an attractive advantage over gTLDs in their local market. Our industry is very risk averse. You will remember that for years we’ve had similar “risks, threats and issues˜ focused discussions about IDN ccTLDs. Strong demand and a clear view of value to communities motivated us to address and overcome those. As a result, today we have quite a number of successful IDN ccTLDs. I feel that we would be doing ourselves and our local internet communities a huge disservice if we do not study the potential of emoji’s in domains, and I urge you to assure that we investigate the potential and that we approach issues with the objective to solve them, not just to confirm them.

prep material tomorrow's Accountability session - ccNSO Members Meeting.
by Joke Braeken Oct. 23, 2018

Oct. 23, 2018

Dear All, Tomorrow, Wednesday 24 October on day 2 of the ICANN63 ccNSO Members Meeting, the Accountability Session will be held (10:30-12:00 local time in Barcelona. Starting at 08:30 UTC). During a break-out session we will explore how some of the selected Work Stream 2 recommendations in the area of SO/AC Accountability and Diversity apply to the ccNSO. Please find the prep material on the recommendations that will be discussed in attachment. Link to the ccNSO Members Meeting agenda, and remote participation details: https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=90768548 Tomorrow’s Accountability Session during the ccNSO Members Meeting will inform the ccNSO Council’s decision during its meeting later that day at 17:00 pm. The CCWG asks that the Chartering Organizations, including the ccNSO, complete their approval of their Final Report by the conclusion of ICANN63. Background As indicated in the CCWG-Accountability Charter<https://community.icann.org/x/xwuOAw>, the CCWG-Accountability has divided its work into two Work Streams: · Work Stream 1<https://community.icann.org/x/ogDxAg>: focuses on mechanisms enhancing ICANN accountability that must be in place or committed to within the time frame of the IANA Stewardship Transition; · Work Stream 2: focuses on addressing accountability topics for which a timeline for developing solutions and full implementation may extend beyond the IANA Stewardship Transition. In April until mid-May 2018, a Public Comment sought community input on whether there are any inconsistencies between the various sets of recommendations within the Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability's (CCWG-Accountability) final report from its Work Stream 2 (WS2). The CCWG-Accountability WS2 final report is a compilation of eight reports generated through individual sub-groups of the CCWG-Accountability, each of which has already been the subject of public comment. These eight reports are on the topics identified at Section 27.1. of the ICANN Bylaws, which defined WS2. At its 9 March 2018 meeting<https://www.icann.org/news/blog/co-chairs-statement-from-ccwg-accountabilit…> at ICANN61 in San Juan, Puerto Rico, the CCWG-Accountability completed its approval of each of the sub-group reports for inclusion within the WS2 final report. In July 2018, the CCWG-Accountability forwarded its WS2 final report to its Chartering Organizations for endorsement. This Final Report presents a summary of the work completed by WS2 and its sub‐groups, a listing of all recommendations as well as the complete report from each sub-‐group (Annexes 1 to 8) and the Implementation Guidance (Annex 9) developed to meet the concerns of the ICANN Board of Directors relative to the four recommendations it identified in its letter of May 14 2018. Next step: Once the CCWG-‐Accountability Chartering Organizations have approved this Final Report for WS2 according to its Charter*, *it will be transmitted to the ICANN Board for approval and implementation. Download the final report, including all recommendations, here: https://community.icann.org/display/WEIA/Final+Report Best regards, Joke Braeken ccNSO Policy Advisor joke.braeken(a)icann.org<mailto:joke.braeken@icann.org> Follow @ccNSO on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ccNSO Follow the ccNSO on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ccnso/ http://ccnso.icann.org
