Proposal for Generation Panel for Myanmar Script Label Generation Ruleset for the Root Zone
by Joke Braeken July 9, 2018

July 9, 2018

Dear all, ICANN announced the formation of the Generation Panel to develop root zone Label Generation Rules (LGR) for the Myanmar script. Following the Call for Generation Panels to Develop Root Zone Label Generation Rules [icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_news_ann…>, the Myanmar script community has submitted to ICANN the Proposal for Generation Panel for Myanmar Script Label Generation Ruleset for the Root Zone [icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_en_syste…> [PDF, 97 KB]. The ICANN organization reviewed the proposal, including panel composition and scope, to ensure that requirements set forth in the LGR Procedure [icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_en_syste…> [PDF, 771 KB], and in particular the criteria set forth in the Call for Generation Panels to Develop Root Zone Label Generation Rules [icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_news_ann…>, are fulfilled. "On behalf of ICANN we are grateful to the Myanmar script community for volunteering to develop the Myanmar script LGR proposal for the root zone," said Sarmad Hussain, Director of IDN Programs at ICANN. With composition and work plan approved, the Myanmar script Generation Panel will start its work on the label generation rules. According to the LGR Procedure, the starting point of any Generation Panel's work is the Maximal Starting Repertoire (MSR), with its third version (MSR-3 [icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_en_syste…> [PDF, 1.10 MB]) released on 28 March 2018. The full specification of Generation Panel's tasks can be found in the LGR Procedure, in particular, Section B.3. Variant Rule Generation Procedure. "I'd like to take this opportunity to reiterate our appreciation for the efforts of many communities towards developing their root zone LGR proposals," added Hussain. "We still have more work to do including organizing script panels for Hebrew, Thaana, and Tibetan. I encourage interested parties to lend their skills in support of this effort.” There are currently LGR efforts underway by Chinese, Greek, Japanese, Korean, Latin, Neo-Brahmi, and Sinhala script-using communities. In addition, the Arabic, Armenian, Cyrillic, Ethiopic, Georgian, Khmer, Lao, and Thai script communities have finalized their root zone LGR proposals [icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_resource…>, many of which have been integrated in the second edition of the Root Zone LGR [icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_resource…>. Learn more about how you can increase representation for your language by visiting the Call for Generation Panels to Develop Root Zone Label Generation Rules [icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_news_ann…>.

by Joke Braeken July 9, 2018

July 9, 2018

Dear all, ICANN announced an extension to both the Public Comments on Short-term Options to Adjust the Timeline for Specific Reviews and the Long-term Options to Adjust the Timeline of Reviews in response to community requests for additional time to prepare comments. Purpose: * A public comment proceeding proposes short-term options pertaining to current reviews to address the workload of the volunteer community and impact on ICANN resources. Specifically, the aim of this public comment proceeding is to invite feedback on options on whether and how to adjust the timeline for two Specific Reviews to alleviate existing strain on volunteer and ICANN resources. The two reviews for consideration for short-term options are the third Accountability and Transparency Review (ATRT3) and the second Registration Directory Service Review (RDS-WHOIS2). * A public comment proceeding invites feedback on long-term options to provide more reasonable scheduling across ICANN reviews (Specific and Organizational), with the goal of meeting ICANN's accountability and transparency obligations in a more practical and sustainable manner. The Public Comment period on Short-term Options to adjust the Timeline for Specific Reviews [icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_public-2…> and the Public Comment period on Long-term Options to Adjust the Timeline of Reviews [icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_public-2…> will close on 31 July 2018 at 23:59 UTC.

Dear all, Purpose: The Independent Review Process Implementation Oversight Team (IRP-IOT) is seeking further public comments on the Time for Filing rule (Updated Supplementary Procedure rule #4, Time for Filing). Current Status: The IOT reviewed the results of the 28 November 2016 public comments on its draft Updated Supplementary Procedures (USP) for the Independent Review Process (IRP) and noted that a significant number of comments did not support the proposed limitations underpinning rule #4.

If there are no significant changes this rule will be included in the USP.

This announcement, including all attached document, will be published here as well: https://ccnso.icann.org/en/news/announcements?field_official_date_value%5Bv… [ccnso.icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__ccnso.icann.org_en_new…> Further background details, including the CSC Candidate Qualification requirements are included below. If interested, please send the following documents to: joke.braeken(a)icann.org<mailto:joke.braeken@icann.org> no later than Friday 6 July 2018 (17:00 UTC). 1. Filled in application form (see attachment) 2. Your resume, curriculum vitae, or biography. 3. If applicable, a letter of support from your employer in respect to the required time commitment to participate actively in the CSC. Once we have received your intent to volunteers as CSC member, the ccNSO Secretariat will send you a link to an online Acknowledgement of Terms Form. Via this form, you consent to ICANN processing data in order to add you as a member of the CSC and its mailing list(s). The form explains the information ICANN will process to administer your participation in the CSC and how the information will be used this purpose. It also describes the rights you have regarding your information. After receiving your application, the documents will be transmitted to the ccNSO Councillors eligible to select the members of the CSC. The selection process is described in the ccNSO Guideline: ccNSO Actions Respecting the Customer Standing Committee: http://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/guidelines-ccnso-csc-16jun16-en.pdf [ccnso.icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__ccnso.icann.org_working…>. By the end of July, the ccTLD representatives on the CSC will be appointed by the ccNSO council. The approval of the full slate will be completed by mid-September 2018. The ccNSO Council will have a discussion on and consider the approval of the Selection Report during its meeting on 20 September 2018. CSC Candidates Qualification Requirements Skill set and experience Candidates should possess the following qualifications: * Direct experience and knowledge of the IANA naming function. * Analytical skills, ability to interpret quantitative and qualitative evidence, and capacity to draw conclusions purely based on evidence. * Able to work and communicate in written and spoken English. * Effective communication skills. * Experience in managing and/or participating in committees (e.g. meeting coordination, reporting, and escalation) in order to contribute meaningfully to CSC processes. * Demonstrated ability in relationship management to support diplomatic discussion, consensus driven decision making, and productive negotiation. Diversity Unless the applicant pool does not allow, candidates should not all come from the same geographical region (Europe; Asia/Australia/Pacific; Latin America/Caribbean islands; Africa; and North America), or be of the same gender. The Membership Selection Process of the CSC Charter calls for due consideration to be given, to the extent possible, to form a CSC that has diversity in terms of geography and skill set. To that end the composition of the slate will be reviewed during two points in the selection process: firstly by the RySG and ccNSO and secondly by the ccNSO and GNSO. Time commitment CSC members and liaisons must be able to participate in monthly meetings. It is expected that members and liaisons must attend a minimum of nine meetings in a one-year period and must not be absent for more than two consecutive meetings. Failure to meet this requirement may result in the Chair of the CSC requesting a replacement from the respective organization. Outside of the monthly meetings, members and liaisons may also be asked to participate in other CSC processes such as: * Providing updates, no less than three per year, to the direct customers of the IANA naming function. These updates may be provided to the RySG and ccNSO Council during ICANN meetings. * Providing updates to any group/constituency regarding the IANA Function Operator’s performance at their request. * On an annual or as needed basis, conduct a consultation with the IANA Functions Operator, the primary customers of the naming services, and the ICANN community about the performance of the IANA Functions Operator. * Carry out required work related to CSC procedures and processes (e.g., review drafts of communications to the ccNSO/GNSO Councils, interact with IANA Function Operator to investigate an issue/problem, work with IANA Function Operator to finalize remedial action procedures, draft CSC operational procedures). Members may also be selected to represent the CSC on any IANA Function Review Team (IFRT) or Separation Cross Community Working Group (SCCWG) if formed. Members and liaisons will serve a two-year term with the option to renew for up to two additional two-year terms. Participation in the CSC is voluntary. The CSC is expected to perform the majority of its work telephonically and via email. Background About the CSC The CSC has been established to ensure the satisfactory performance of the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) naming function. The CSC monitors PTI’s performance of the IANA naming function by analyzing performance reports on a monthly basis and publishing its findings. It is authorized to undertake remedial action to address poor performance, and if performance issues are not remedied, the CSC is authorized to escalate the performance issues to the ccNSO and GNSO for consideration. Additionally, the CSC may recommend changes to the naming Service Level Expectations as well as enhancements to the provision of the IANA naming services. About the CSC member and liaison appointment process In order to provide for continuity and knowledge retention, the CSC Charter called for staggered terms of the inaugural CSC appointees, with half of the members and liaisons serving an initial two-year term and the other half serving an initial three-year term. All future terms will be two-year terms. The members and liaisons decided amongst themselves who would serve a two-year and who would serve a three-year initial term. As of 1 October 2018, the following members and liaisons will complete their term: Lars-Johan Liman Appointing Organization: RSSAC Term: 2016 - 2018 Elise Lindeberg Appointing Organization: GAC Term: 2016 - 2018 Jay Daley Appointing Organization: ccNSO Term: 2016 - 2018 Kal Feher (Vice-Chair) Appointing Organization: RySG Term: 2016 - 2018 The CSC Charter allows for the Address Supporting Organization (ASO) and the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Registrar Stakeholder Group or Non-Contracted Parties House of the GNSO to also appoint liaisons. There were no appointments from these two organizations for the inaugural CSC membership slate; however, the ASO and Registrar Stakeholder Group or Non-Contracted Parties House of the GNSO may participate in the 2018 election process.
