A further update on the Final Report of the CCWG new gTLD Auction Proceeds Working Group
by Stephen Deerhake ＠ ASNIC May 29, 2020

May 29, 2020

Greetings fellow Council Members, As a follow-up to my correspondence regarding the circulation of the Final Report of the new gTLD Auction Proceeds Cross Community Working Group to the CCWG that I sent to you yesterday, please permit me to provide you an update. A minority statement has been formally filed by the Commercial Stakeholders Group (CSG) from the GNSO. It’s pretty brutal with it’s objection to the “consensus” adoption of Mechanism A, which I described in my previous correspondence. It challenges the “consensus” expressed in the final report. This objection comes from the Intellectual Property Constituency (IPC). Whether it becomes a formal appendix to the CCWG final report, or is referenced as a URL to the CCWG Wiki, is an open question, to be determined by the CCWG Co-chairs. I have advised our ccNSO elected ICANN Board members of this development, as the IPC objection makes specific demands of the ICANN Board. Best Regards, Stephen Deerhake AS Domain Registry

Update on the Final Report of the CCWG new gTLD Auction Proceeds Working Group
by Stephen Deerhake ＠ ASNIC May 28, 2020

May 28, 2020

Greetings fellow Council Members, I am pleased to be able to report to you that the Final Report of the new gTLD Auction Proceeds Cross Community Working Group has just been circulated to the WG for a final “eyeball” review by the WG. It has taken 3.5 years, but it is here at last. A brief summary for you: There are 12 recommendations in the report. I will highlight just a few of them in this correspondence to you, loosely quoting from the report. Recommendation #1: The CCWG recommends that the Board select either mechanism A or mechanism B for the allocation of auction proceeds, taking into account the preference expressed by CCWG members for mechanism A. (As a reminder, Mechanism A: An internal department dedicated to the allocation of auction proceeds is created within the ICANN organization Mechanism B: An internal department dedicated to the allocation of auction proceeds is created within the ICANN organization which collaborates with an existing non-profit.) Recommendation #2: The CCWG recommends that an Independent Project Applications Evaluation Panel will be established. The Panel’s responsibility is to evaluate and select project applications. Neither the Board nor staff will be taking decisions on individual applications… Recommendation #7: Existing ICANN accountability mechanisms such as IRP or other appeal mechanisms cannot be used to challenge a decision from the Independent Project Applications Evaluation Panel to approve or not approve an application. Recommendation #8: The CCWG did not reach consensus to provide any specific recommendation on whether or not ICANN org or its constituent parts could be a beneficiary of auction proceeds… It is likely that there will be some minority statements submitted before the deadline (28 May, presumably 23:59 UTC, but I am not certain of the actual cutoff time). Under discussion is whether to include them into the final document as an Appendix or post them on the CW’s wiki with references to them included in the final report (likely via an Appendix of URLs). The next steps are the formal adoption of the final report by the WG, and then its submission to the SO/AC’s for their consideration (and hopefully) adoption. Given success with that process, it goes to the ICANN Board for their consideration. Please reach out to me with any questions that you might have. Best Regards, Stephen Deerhake AS Domain Registry

Important - REGISTER - At-Large Capacity Building Webinar on Geopolitics and Cybersecurity
by Kimberly Carlson May 27, 2020

May 27, 2020

***SENT ON BEHALF OF THE AT-LARGE CAPACITY BUILDING WORKING GROUP*** Dear All, On behalf of Joanna Kulesza and Alfredo Calderon, Co-Chairs of the Capacity Building Working Group, we would like to invite you to join the third webinar of the new At-Large Capacity Building Program – 2020<https://community.icann.org/x/1Ic3Ag> on the Topic of “Geopolitics and Cybersecurity”. The webinar is scheduled on Monday 01 June at 21:00 UTC for 90 minutes. For other times: https://tinyurl.com/yb55h47f French and Spanish interpretation will be provided. Please REGISTER [icann.zoom.us]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__icann.zoom.us_webinar_…> to receive the webinar details: https://icann.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_kBW35SJITY-T8xAXZCv0IQ [icann.zoom.us]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__icann.zoom.us_webinar_…> The Guest Speakers are: Léon Sánchez [icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_resource…>, ICANN Board Vice Chair; Veni Markovski<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_profiles…>, ICANN Vice President for UN engagement and Javier Rúa-Jovet<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__icannwiki.org_Javier-5…>, ALAC NARALO representative. Building upon the successful geopolitics and cybersecurity session during ICANN 67 [One World - One Internet? Cybersecurity and Geopolitics in a Multistakeholder Environment [67.schedule.icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__67.schedule.icann.org_…>], the At-Large Capacity Building Working Group is holding a follow up webinar as a run up to ICANN 68. Its aim is to follow the progress made thus far in enhancing community presence in ongoing cybersecurity and Internet governance discussions as well as get a better understating of upcoming issues and challenges. This interactive webinar will include an update on UN processes potentially impacting ICANN’s mission as well as a review of ICANN Board's progress and further plans in ensuring due representation of the ICANN community in these geopolitical trends. We hope for the webinar to be a platform for developing a better understanding of end user interests as represented in ICANN multistakeholder processes and how those fit in with global multilateral discussion in UN and beyond. Additionally, we will also try to explore whether the recent pandemic has impacted multistakeholder policy development, with particular emphasis on end user interests. During this webinar we would like to address the following questions: * What are the recent developments in international relations and policy making which might have a direct impact on ICANN, its community and its functions (with emphasis on UN OEWG and UN GGE)? Has the pandemic impacted these ongoing processes? What are the nearest prospected outcomes we should be aware of? Have multilateral and multistakeholder processes proven to be contradictory by nature or can they be aligned? * What are the nearest ICANN Board plans to address these developments and interests? How can the ICANN community best support the Board in fulfilling these? * How do we identify a common end user interest among and between these law making efforts? Are end users more than subjects to state jurisdiction - is there a shared common interest to be identified and addressed by the ICANN community? Is the collective interest of end users different from that of state citizens as represented by governments? Does multistakeholderism still offer a critical “post Westphalian” innovation allowing and fostering individual end-user’ engagement internationally, helping counterbalance state-actors’ purely geopolitical interests or are we heading back to multilateralism? The webinar will be an interactive exercise that welcomes questions and discussion from all community members. We will have an interactive quiz during the presentations and an opportunity for Q&A at the end of the presentation. Staff will end the webinar with an Evaluation Survey to allow us to continue to improve these webinars. We hope for this to be a useful point of departure for the upcoming virtual policy forum at ICANN68 (June 22nd - 25th). Thank you.

May 26, 2020

Dear All, This is a reminder about the ongoing Call for Expressions of Interest for Panelists to serve on the omnibus Standing Panel for ICANN's Independent Review Process (IRP). The deadline to submit Expressions of Interest is 31 July 2020 at 23:59 UTC.

The IRP is an essential accountability mechanism to hold the ICANN Board and org accountable, and the seating of a Standing Panel to hear these claims is an important component to achieve consistent, binding outcomes. ICANN committed through its Bylaws that the ICANN community has a role in identifying the final composition of the Standing Panel slate. ICANN org sought input from the Supporting Organizations (SOs) and Advisory Committees (ACs) on how the community can participate in the process, and the summary of inputs and next steps is available here<https://community.icann.org/display/ESPFIRP/Relevant+Documents?mkt_tok=eyJp…>. ICANN org will follow up through the SOs and ACs shortly to continue the community coordination work. Submit Your Expression of Interest ICANN org encourages the ICANN community to circulate the Call for Expressions of Interest broadly across your networks to help us attract a skilled and diverse set of candidates. The deadline is 31 July 2020 at 23:59 UTC and Expressions of Interest should be submitted to: IRP-Standingpanel-EOI2020(a)icann.org <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__newsalerts.icann.org_i…> 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 [twitter.com]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__twitter.com_ccNSO&d=Dw…> Follow the ccNSO on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ccnso/ [facebook.com]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.facebook.com_ccnso…> http://ccnso.icann.org [ccnso.icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__ccnso.icann.org&d=DwMGa…>
