Updates WG: SOPWG, EPSRP, Use of Country and territory names (CTN)
by Bart Boswinkel May 12, 2016

May 12, 2016

Dear all, Please find included written (staff) updates with respect to: SOPWG The SOPWG has submitted its input onICANN's FY 2017 Ops Plan and Budget on 25 April 2016 (see: http://ccnso.icann.org/about/ccnso-sop-wg-comments-26apr16-en.pdf and for full overview of all comments submitted: http://forum.icann.org/lists/comments-op-budget-fy17-five-year-05mar16/) On behalf of the SOPWG Giovanni Sepia, participated in call on 9 May 2016 organised by the ICANN staff to improve the understanding of the comments submitted both for members of the ICANN Board Finance Committee and staff, to allow them to better respond to the comments made. The recording of the calls, including the call with Giovanni are available at: https://community.icann.org/display/projfinadhocws/Calls+with+Community+on+… Following the dialogue in Marrakesh between the SOPWG and ICANN's CFO ( Xavier Calvez) focus of comments was on the operational side of the FY 17 plan. Giovanni invited ICANN senior staff responsible for the Meetings, HR and Global hub infrastructure to the meeting to start the dialogue with the SOPWG on the operational side of the plan. Further, it will be discussed to broaden this discussion to a cross-community session in Helsinki. EPSRP WG The WG EPSRP is currently updating its draft review of guidelines to provide guidance for the Extended Process Similarity Review panel. This WG was created at the request of the ICANN Board and includes also participants from the GAC. Core issue is how to deal with strings that are only confusingly similar with UPPER CASE two-letter codes. Once completed, the draft guidelines will be published for public consultation. CCWG Use of names of Country and territories as TLDs (CTN) The CTN has send out a survey to seek broader input on how to deal with 3-letter codes from a policy perspective. The survey is now closed. The response to date are not conclusive. They diverge in particular the responses received from the ccTLD community. Given the divergence the CCWG CTN intends to organise a forum, not limited to Country and Territory names ( although that remains to be the focus) but also broader, with the respect to use of geography names. Goal is to understand whether a harmonised framework is feasible ( which is one of the goals of the CCWG according to its charter). Kind regards, Bart

GNSO activity update - May 2016
by Patrick Myles May 9, 2016

May 9, 2016

Hi councillors. Please find attached the latest activity update from the GNSO. For convenience it's also copied below. Regards Patrick -------- Planning for Helsinki A Planning Committee has been established to develop the schedule for GNSO meetings in Helsinki. Given Meeting B is intended to help progress policy development, most of the GNSO is devoted to several key areas of work in policy: * Next Generation gTLD Registration Directory Service * New gTLDs Subsequent Procedures * Review of all Rights Protection Mechanisms in New gTLDs * IGO-INGO Access to Curative Rights Protection Mechanisms The Committee is in the process of trying to decide what topics should be Cross-Community discussions. GNSO/SSAC relationship The GNSO and SSAC leadership have met to discuss strengthening the relationship between the two organisations which may include a potential exchange of liaisons (not big support for this currently) and improvements to the regular SSAC update at GNSO council meetings. There is also desire to reinforce availability of SSAC as a resource into the GNSO policy development process. GNSO liaison to the GAC role The GNSO Council has confirmed at a recent meeting that the GNSO Liaison to the GAC is to become a permanent role at the start of FY17 (1 July 2016) and has adopted a 'Request for Candidates' which is to be distributed to GNSO stakeholder groups and constituencies. See more: http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/request-liaison-gac-30mar16-en.pdf Public Comment on ICANN's FY17 Proposed Budget Councillors are expected to review the update and summary of comments<http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/draft-comments-plan-budget-13apr16-en.pdf> by a small group (Keith Drazek, Edward Morris and Carlos Raul Gutierrez). A comment should be submitted before deadline of 30 April 2016. Schedule/Timing of AoC Reviews The GNSO has raised the topic of scheduled Reviews (as required under the Affirmation of Commitments). They are conscious that concern that two of these reviews (ATRT3 and WHOIS2) could collide with existing CCWGs and PDPs (specifically, RDS and implementation of Work Stream 1 of CCWG-ACCT). There has been limited community input to this topic, however the GNSO are ready to discuss it at the upcoming ICANN56 meeting in Helsinki. Conduct at ICANN meetings The GNSO has sent a letter<http://gnso.icann.org/en/correspondence/bladel-to-atallah-25apr16-en.pdf> to ICANN leadership regarding 'conduct at ICANN meetings' referencing the recent blog<https://www.icann.org/news/blog/conduct-at-icann-meetings> on the topic which takes a position on harassment issues which came up earlier in the year. They asked questions relating to the mechanisms of reporting, if the current 'expected standards of behaviour' policy would be enhanced, enforcement of the policy and also on whether there would be comparison (on the policy) to other comparable organisations Other - GNSO to discuss implementation of IANA stewardship plan at council meeting (12 May 2016) - GNSO to discuss status of CCWG on Internet Governance at council meeting (12 May 2016) Regards [cid:image003.png@01D1A9FC.B1DD0600] Patrick Myles Data Analyst CENTR - Belliardstraat 20, 1040 Brussels, Belgium tel +32 2 627 55 50 - mob +61 405 60 67 15 www.centr.org<http://www.centr.org/> - Twitter<https://twitter.com/CENTRnews> - Facebook<https://www.facebook.com/centrnews> - LinkedIn<https://www.linkedin.com/company/centr> - Skype: pat_centr
