ICANN org Provides Feedback on the Proposed DSA Regulation
by Joke Braeken April 6, 2021

April 6, 2021

Dear All, ICANN org announced on 1 April that on 31 March 2021, the ICANN org submitted feedback on the proposed Digital Services Act (DSA<https://ec.europa.eu/info/sites/info/files/proposal_for_a_regulation_on_a_s…>) regulation. The DSA is a legislative initiative launched in response to growing concern over the roles and responsibilities of online platforms. Once adopted, it will introduce obligations concerning illegal content that will apply to digital services providers that offer services in Europe, regardless of whether they are established in Europe. The proposal also attempts to clarify the rules for the conditional exemption from liability. Domain Name System (DNS) service providers are in scope. ICANN org responded to the online consultation, which remained open until 31 March 2021. The comment submitted<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/icann-org-comments-proposed-dsa…> highlights that the proposed DSA, in its current form, is not sufficiently specific with regard to the scope of applicability to DNS services. It is unclear which DNS services are targeted and whether they would fall under the general scope of application of the DSA, because DNS services are not clearly within one of the three intermediary services categories of the DSA (namely, "mere conduit," "caching," and "hosting" services). In turn, concerns arise as to the liability exemption for third-party content foreseen in the DSA when it comes to DNS services. All contributions to the public comment forum are available on the consultation's website<https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/1…>. https://www.icann.org/en/announcements/details/icann-org-provides-feedback-… Best regards, Joke Braeken ccNSO Policy Advisor joke.braeken(a)icann.org

by Joke Braeken April 1, 2021

April 1, 2021

Dear all, This is a reminder regarding the ongoing public comment proceeding regarding the Initial Report on the Third ccNSO Policy Development Process (ccPDP3) on the Retirement of ccTLDs. Public comments close 14 April 2021 (23:59 UTC) Best regards, Joke Braeken ccNSO Policy Advisor joke.braeken(a)icann.org From: Ccnso-council <ccnso-council-bounces(a)icann.org> on behalf of ccnso-council <ccnso-council(a)icann.org> Reply to: Joke Braeken <joke.braeken(a)icann.org> Date: Thursday, 4 March 2021 at 11:13 To: "ccnso-members(a)icann.org" <ccnso-members(a)icann.org>, "cctldcommunity(a)cctld-managers.org" <ccTLDcommunity(a)cctld-managers.org>, ccnso-council <ccnso-council(a)icann.org> Subject: [ccnso-council] ccPDP3 Retirement of ccTLDs: Initial Report out now. Community feedback and input sought on 2 questions Dear All, The Initial Report on the Third ccNSO Policy Development Process (ccPDP3) on the Retirement of ccTLDs is now out for public comments. * Close date: 14 April 2021 (23:59 UTC) * Read more: https://www.icann.org/public-comments/ccpdp3-1-retirement-cctlds-2021-03-03… Brief Overview Purpose The Initial Report is published to seek community response and input on the following two (2) questions: 1. To expedite the Country Code Names Supporting Organization (ccNSO) decision-making on the proposed recommended policy for the Retirement of country code Top-Level Domains (ccTLDs), it is proposed to separate Part 1 (on the Retirement of ccTLDs) from Part 2 (on Review Mechanism). Are there any concerns separating the two policy development efforts: Retirement of ccTLDs (Part 1) and Review Mechanism (Part 2)? 2. Related, are there any major concerns with respect to the proposed recommendation for the retirement policy, which have not been raised before or are inadequately addressed in the final paper? Current Status In February 2021 the ccNSO Working Group on the Retirement of country code Top-Level Domains (ccTLDs) concluded its work by unanimously supporting the policy recommendations pertaining to the retirement of ccTLDs. This policy development effort is part of the third ccNSO Policy Development Process, which was initiated in 2017 to develop policy recommendations on the Retirement of ccTLDs (Part 1) and to develop policy recommendations for a Review Mechanism for decisions pertaining to the delegation, transfer, revocation and retirement of ccTLDs (Part 2). Next Steps If there are no major concerns, neither regarding the separation of Part 1 and Part 2 nor regarding the recommended Retirement Policy itself, the policy recommendations contained in this report will be taken to the ccNSO Council and ccNSO Membership for their consideration. Your Comment Your submission, including your information, will be published in the Public Comment archive on the https://www.icann.org/ [icann.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.icann.org/__;!!PtGJab4!sJu7t_D0cdcMq…> website.
