Council member coordination team CSC related topics
by Bart Boswinkel May 16, 2018

May 16, 2018

Dear all, As you will recall from the last Council call, over the upcoming months the ccNSO and GNSO Councils will need to coordinate their actions and roles in three areas related to the CSC: CSC Charter Review process CSC membership selection and approval process CSC Effectiveness Review and IANA Function Review processes To coordinate the efforts of the ccNSO and GNSO Councils and ensure timely action, a small group with representatives from both communities will need to be created, to act as counterpart for the GNSO team and advise the Councils on next steps in each of these three areas. Further, as you recall it was propsoed to include one community member and one Councillor, and from the community side at least one person with in depth knowledge of the CSC, and it roles and responsibilities. To complete the team a Councillor is requested to step forward. It is anticitpated that this effort will take on average 2 hours perweek leading, with more hours closer to the Panama meeting. Kind regards, Bart

Special Council election in EU region
by Katrina Sataki May 10, 2018

May 10, 2018

Dear Councillors, As discussed last week during our call, we need to decide on the nomination and election schedule for the special European region election. As discussed, we have two options: Option 1: start the Special Council election this month with the goal to interview candidates in Panama. Option 2: run the Special Council election in parallel with the regular Council election (start in September 2018) and interview all candidates in Barcelona. Resolutions for both options are given below. If you prefer Option 1, please let the list know as soon as possible, but no later than 9 May 2018, 23.59 UTC by responding 'In favor of Option 1'. If you prefer Option 2, please inform the list accordingly with 'In favor of Option 2'. I would appreciate all your votes, i.e. at least explicitly state that you abstain. Nigel already indicated his abstention during the call. Thank you! Kind regards, ]{atrina Draft Resolution Background Nigel Roberts will step down from the ccNSO Council at the end of its Panama meeting session and informed the ICANN General Counsel and Chair of the ccNSO accordingly. In accordance with section 10.4 (g) of the ICANN Bylaws the ccNSO Council needs to establish a nomination and election schedule, which shall be sent to all ccNSO members within ICANN's European Geographic Region and posted on the ccNSO website. Option 1 Decision (Panama) The ccNSO Council appoints Joke Braeken, ccNSO Secretariat, as Election Manager for the Special European Council Election. The call for nomination should be sent out on Tuesday, 22 May 2018 and, hence, follow the schedule as proposed for a Q & A session at the Panama ccNSO meeting. The Election Manger is requested to inform the ccNSO members in ICANN's European Region accordingly and publish the timeline on the ccNSO website. Option 2 Decision (Barcelona) The ccNSO Council appoints Joke Braeken, ccNSO Secretariat, as Election Manager for the Special European Council Election. The call for nomination should be sent out on Tuesday, 18 September 2018 and, hence, follow the schedule as proposed for a Q & A session at the Barcelona ccNSO meeting. The Election Manger is requested to inform the ccNSO members in ICANN's European Region accordingly and publish the timeline on the ccNSO website.

FW: Discouraging the Use of Emoji in Domain Names
by Katrina Sataki May 9, 2018

May 9, 2018

FYI From: Cathy Petersen [mailto:cathy.petersen@icann.org] Sent: Tuesday, May 08, 2018 3:39 AM To: Katrina Sataki <katrina(a)nic.lv> Cc: David Conrad <david.conrad(a)icann.org> Subject: Discouraging the Use of Emoji in Domain Names Sent by Cathy Petersen on behalf of David Conrad: 30 April 2018 RE: Discouraging the use of emoji in domain names by ccTLDs for end user security Ms. Katrina Sataki Chair, Country Code Names Supporting Organization Dear Ms. Sataki, Lately, there has been increasing interest in the use of emoji in domain names, with some country code Top Level Domain operators (ccTLDs) allowing domain names with emoji to be newly registered at the second level. The ICANN Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC) studied the use of emoji in the domain name system and issued an advisory ( <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/sac-095-en.pdf> SAC095) highlighting various associated risks. SSAC has identified at least three significant factors that may cause confusion in the use of emoji, making them a security risk and thus, unsuitable for use in domain names: 1. Many emoji are visually similar and can be difficult to distinguish, especially when displayed in smaller fonts or by different applications, as no standard specifies exactly how they should be displayed 2. 3. Some emoji can be “glued” together using a special joining character allowing them to be displayed as a single symbol by some systems. This creates the following two ways in which confusion can occur a. To a user, a single unmodified emoji might look exactly the same as its “glued together” counterpart; and b. For the systems that do not support emoji composition with the joiner character, they would display the individual components of a “glued together” emoji as a sequence of separate emoji, which may visually be very different from what was intended 4. The ability to apply different colors to some emoji by appending one of five skin tone modifiers for an anthropomorphic emoji is highly sensitive to user interpretation Such confusability creates significant issues and concerns in the use of domain name system. As has been noted in an earlier SSAC report ( <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/sac-060-en.pdf> SAC060), confusion in domain names can lead to denial of service or, worse, misconnection. Such confusion exposes domain names for phishing and other social engineering attacks, leading to security problems for end users ( <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/sac-089-en.pdf> SAC089). Noting these risks, the ICANN Board has <https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2017-11-02-en#1.e> resolved that “that the Country Code Names Supporting Organization (ccNSO) ... inform their respective communities about these risks.” We would respectfully request the Country Code Names Supporting Organization help by publicly reaching out to all ccTLDs, and specifically to the ccTLDs offering emoji domains, to inform them about the end-user and systemic security risks in offering the emoji in domain names, and to discourage them from this practice to improve domain name system security for all users. We thank the ccNSO in advance for considering this matter and look forward to a favourable reply. The ICANN organization stands ready to provide any support as necessary for this purpose. Sincerely, David Conrad ICANN Chief Technology Officer Cathy Petersen Manager, Office of the CTO ICANN T +1 310 578 8634 M +1 424 353 9647 E cathy.petersen(a)icann.org <mailto:cathy.petersen@icann.org> S cathy.petersen.icann
