Written report: ICANN 73, Discussion Forum on Geopolitical, Legislative, and Regulatory Developments
by Tatiana Tropina March 17, 2022

March 17, 2022

Dear all, Here is the written update from one of the last sessions at ICANN 73. The discussion forum on the overview of legislative initiatives with potential impact on DNS occurred after our council meeting, so some of you might remember that I volunteered to send the report in writing. Here is the short report, even though I must say that the update was very rich and full of details, and so was the discussion during the Q&A. The session aimed to provide the ICANN community with information about various national, regional and international legislative, regulatory and other proposals and initiatives that can potentially affect DNS and, as a consequence, ICANN’s mission. The members of the ICANN GE team provided updates related to various international processes: United Nations’ Open-Ended Working Group, which deals with international cybersecurity and the UN Ad Hoc Committee cybercrime negotiations, and also the processes taking place at the ITU, WIPO, and OECD. Another international update focused on the Council of Europe’s initiatives, such as the second additional protocol to the Cybercrime Convention, which enables direct requests for domain name registration data from foreign law enforcement. In terms of regional initiatives with potential global impact are the EU proposals, which encompass the NIS2 (Network and Information Security) directive proposal and the EU cybersecurity strategy. It was noted that these initiatives could directly impact the DNS and fragment approaches to DNS governance. The directive itself, if adopted, will have to be transposed by 27 EU member states in their own way. This particularly concerns Art. 23 of the proposed directive, which puts forward requirements for the accuracy of domain registration data. Concerns were raised that the article was drafted in a way so that we could end up with 27 different accuracy policies in 27 member states. Another EU legislative proposal currently in the making is the Digital Services Act, which will have a global impact despite being an EU legislative initiative. The update highlighted some problematic areas of this proposal, such as its failure to reflect the technical categories of DNS services when it comes to the liability exemption for content. Lastly, the EU non-legislative initiatives, such as DNS4EU and the DNS root servers contingency plan outlined in the EU cybersecurity strategy, also prompted some concerns about the policy imperatives and the need for such projects at all. The updates from the ICANN GE team were followed by a very interesting discussion in the Q&A format, which touched upon various issues – from the EU DNS abuse report to the question of ICANN’s jurisdiction. As to the community engagement and information about all these initiatives and ICANN’s written submissions to various intergovernmental processes, it was noted that the comms team is remodelling the government engagement pages on the ICANN website, making them multilingual and more interactive and friendly, with such functions as keyword search and a possibility to subscribe for updates. It was also stated that this is the first session in what hopefully in the future becomes a regular series of updates and dialogues with the ICANN community on this issue. Hope this is helpful - happy to answer any questions about this short update. Warm regards, Tatiana

To determine whether the ccNSO members support the adoption of the proposed new ccNSO internal rules. The 2004 rules clearly specify that in order for the new rules to be adopted, a vote by at least 86 ccNSO members is required, of which at least 66% needs to be in favour. FAQ#2 Who can vote? On 21 March 2022, the primary contacts of each ccNSO Member will receive a ballot. Questions? Contact joke.braeken(a)icann.org<mailto:joke.braeken@icann.org> FAQ#3 When will the vote be held? Voting starts Wednesday, 23 March 2022 (00:01 UTC) and ends Wednesday, 6 April 2022 (23:59 UTC). If needed, a second round will be held 21 April - 5 May. FAQ#4 Why do the 2004 rules need to be replaced? The 2004 rules are no longer fit for purpose: they were adopted in 2004, and since then the ccNSO has evolved. The ccNSO went from 40+ to 172 members, and evolved from an organisation with limited scope and mandate to being one of the five Decisional Participants. Also, the ccNSO developed in the meanwhile several Operational Procedures (Guidelines), in addition to the Rules. FAQ #5 What is included in the new rules? The new rules will have a direct impact on the governance structure of the ccNSO, specifically on the respective roles and responsibilities of the ccNSO Council and ccNSO members. The new rules will contain the following sections: •(Section 0) Introduction to the Rules •(Section 1) ccNSO Decision making •(Section 2) Voting by ccNSO Membership •(Section 3) Review of the Rules •(Section 4) Change mechanisms Rules and Operational Procedures (Guidelines) •Glossary FAQ#6 What are the major changes between the 2004 rules and the new rules? * An introductory section clarifies the relation with Article 10 of the ICANN Bylaws and refers to the general principles, which constitute the foundation of the ccNSO. This introduction is not an integral part of the rules. * The decision-making processes of the ccNSO were clarified: Which decisions are explicitly reserved to be taken by the ccNSO membership and which by the ccNSO Council? Which Council decisions are subject to the members veto mechanism? What is the effective date of Council decisions? What is the decision-making process by the members? What is the quorum rule? Note that the quorum has changed from 50% of the members to 33% of the members that need to cast a vote. Please also note that the proposal includes that in case the quorum is not met during the initial members voting round, a second final vote will have to be conducted with the same quorum (33% of the members need to cast their vote). The quorum rule, however, will not apply to a decision being made on elections to the ICANN Board. * A basic review mechanism and frequency of the new Rules were specified * The mechanism to change the new ccNSO Rules and ccNSO Operating Procedures or Guidelines. * A glossary was added, with definitions of some of the terms used in the Rules. FAQ#7 Where can I read more about the vote? For the latest updates, go to the announcements page on the ccNSO website [ccnso.icann.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/ccnso.icann.org/en/news/announcements?ye…>.
