FW: CCWG Accountability Update for the ccNSO council
by Bart Boswinkel Nov. 18, 2015

Nov. 18, 2015

Dear all, Please find included update from Mathieu, Kind regards, Bart From: Mathieu Weill <mathieu.weill(a)afnic.fr<mailto:mathieu.weill@afnic.fr>> Date: Wednesday 18 November 2015 17:57 To: Byron Holland <byron.holland(a)cira.ca<mailto:byron.holland@cira.ca>> Cc: Bart Boswinkel <bart.boswinkel(a)icann.org<mailto:bart.boswinkel@icann.org>>, 'Becky Burr' <Becky.Burr(a)neustar.biz<mailto:Becky.Burr@neustar.biz>>, 'Jordan Carter' <jordan(a)internetnz.net.nz<mailto:jordan@internetnz.net.nz>> Subject: CCWG Accountability Update for the ccNSO council Dear Byron, Since I'm not attending the ccNSO council call, I prepared the following update. I seize the opportunity to thank Kim and Bart for their outstanding support in the organization of the webinars ! Best Mathieu Dear Councillors, Thank you for dedicating time to the work of the CCWG Accountability. I apologize for not being able to attend the call in person, due to a conflict with my own Board's meeting. I know that Becky Burr should attend and she is certainly the right person to answer any of your questions. I thought it would be useful to provide a short written update : In terms of timeline, which we discussed last time, the CCWG accountability has published on November 15 a Formal Update regarding progress made in Dublin and after (https://www.icann.org/news/blog/ccwg-accountability-issues-formal-update-on…) This document provides a preview of most of the recommendations that the group should publish as part of its Draft Report on November 30th. The Draft report will be, as planned, open for public comments until 21st December but also sent for consideration of the Chartering Organizations. We are still planning on receiving confirmation of support or feedbacks from the Chartering Organizations in that same timeframe. In case the support could not be confirmed across all Chartering organizations, we would quickly turn around a Supplementary Draft Report that would be submitted for your consideration in January. In terms of the recommendations to be expected, I am also happy to report that the group is making progress towards finalization of the last outstanding items, and that this progress is consistent with the conclusions of the Dublin ccNSO sessions. Specifically : - the need for community dialogue in the exercice of the community powers is embedded in several steps of the escalation process that lead to the exercice of such powers - the Sole Designator model is now the reference model for enforcement - the compromise approach to the removal of SO/AC appointed Board directors is consistent with the Dublin discussions - As discussed in Dublin, a caretaker budget is designed to address the concerns about the potential adverse effects of a 1 year Budget veto (PTI budget is still a separate process) - the exclusion of ccTLD delegations and revocations from the scope of the IRP is maintained - the mission and core values are being refined and a way forward has been found to accomodate concerns from the IAB - Human rights provision will be added to the Bylaws - an exception to the community right to veto a bylaw change will be carved out to address the concerns raised in Dublin - Stress test 18 discussions are under way to find an appropriate way forward. With this progress, we are confident that the proposals will meet the CWG conditions. While I apologize for not attending the call, please feel free to channel any question or feedback to our group. I wish you a fruitful meeting, and look forward to our future meetings. Best, Mathieu -- ***************************** Mathieu WEILL AFNIC - directeur général Tél: +33 1 39 30 83 06 mathieu.weill(a)afnic.fr<mailto:mathieu.weill@afnic.fr> Twitter : @mathieuweill *****************************

GNSO Activity Brief - Nov 2015
by Patrick Myles Nov. 18, 2015

Nov. 18, 2015

Hi Councillors Attached (and below for convenience) is my November update on GNSO activities. As the GNSO council call will take place several hours after the ccNSO call, I'll send through any further relevant updates in the coming days. GNSO Activity Update for ccNSO Council Nov 2015 The GNSO council meeting (agenda<http://gnso.icann.org/en/meetings/agenda-council-19nov15-en.htm>) will take place on 19 Nov 15.00 UTC (3 hours after ccNSO call). Below is a summary of current work as well as likely discussions at the GNSO meeting - any other relevant information will be sent to the ccNSO council list in the days after the meeting. GNSO Chair elections - GNSO chair elections (at ICANN53) between candidates Heather Forrest and James Bladel failed to provide a winning candidate obtaining 60% of the vote in each house. A new nomination procedure was subsequently announced with one nomination - James Bladel (contracted parties). The non-contracted Parties house confirmed it will not be nominating a candidate. An interview with the candidate will take place at council call and announcement of chair expected on 24 Nov 2015. Next Generation gTLD Registration Directory Services (RDS) to Replace WHOIS - Following the final issue report<http://whois.icann.org/sites/default/files/files/final-issue-report-next-ge…>, a motion to adopt a charter was deferred during ICANN Dublin meeting and now on agenda for approval on 19 Nov 2015 - Once approved (likely) there will be a call for volunteers initiated on 4 January 2016. - The PDP WG will be tasked with analysing the purpose of collecting, maintaining and providing access to gTLD registration data and considering safeguards for protecting that data, determining if and why a next-generation Registration Directory Service (RDS) is needed to replace WHOIS, and creating policies and coexistence and implementation guidance to meet those needs. More information<http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/whois-ng-gtld-rds-charter-07oct15-en.pdf> GNSO liaison to the ccNSO - Keith Drazek (SOI<https://community.icann.org/display/gnsosoi/Keith+Drazek+SOI>) was nominated as the GNSO liaison to the ccNSO (replacing Thomas Rickert). ICANN Accountability - GNSO allocated 25 mins for this topic and expect to receive an update on the progress from Thomas Rickert to determine how best to ensure comments/ inputs from Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies are submitted and considered. More detail will follow after the meeting should it be relevant. 2 letter strings at second level - The Registry SG group wrote to the Board (9 Nov 2015) reiterating a position on the release of 2 letter strings at the second level. They note that Registry agreements have 2 grounds for release: agreement by country, or, permission of ICANN subject to measures to deal with confusion with relevant country code. It's worth noting that only one of these grounds needs to be meet in order to release 2 letter second level domains. The letter also states that government objections should be considered and not accepted as a matter of course as well as that comments from GAC which do not address confusion have no place in the process. The Registry SG also pushed that ICANN use the agreed process<https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2-2015-10-06-en> and not 'bow to government pressure'. Other topics and recent activities - Request from ICANN Board concerning possible policy work on Exclusive Registry Access to Generic Strings - Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies encouraged to provide input, ideas and suggestions, about the GNSO related meetings as part of the new ICANN Meeting Strategy - GNSO gathering candidates<https://www.icann.org/resources/reviews/aoc/cct/applications> for ICANN's Competition, Consumer Trust and Consumer Choice Review Team. GNSO Council is expected to consider which candidates to endorse as 'representative of their bodies' - GNSO received letter (to both ccNSO and GNSO) on issue of overlaps between CCWG UCTN and their own group on protection of geographic names. - GNSO expressed interest in getting early security information on upcoming ICANN meetings starting with next meeting in Marrakesh. The intention is to make this briefing a standard agenda item for all future ICANN Public Meetings - Request from ICANN Board concerning possible policy work on Replacement Insurance Requirements for ICANN-accredited Registrars Regards [cid:image003.png@01D121F4.CDEA8290] Patrick Myles Information Manager CENTR - Belliardstraat 20, 1040 Brussels, Belgium tel +32 2 627 55 50 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

CWG-Stewardship role in implementation
by Byron Holland Nov. 16, 2015

Nov. 16, 2015

Dear Colleagues, Please see the email below. We will add this question to the agenda of our meeting later this week. Best regards, Byron From: Grace Abuhamad [mailto:grace.abuhamad@icann.org] Sent: November-16-15 10:12 AM To: Patrik Fältström; Alan Greenberg; Thomas.Schneider(a)bakom.admin.ch; Byron Holland; Glen de Saint Géry Cc: Jonathan Robinson; Lise Fuhr; Alissa Cooper; Mohamed El Bashir; Izumi Okutani; Nurani Nimpuno; Mathieu Weill; Thomas Rickert; León Felipe Sánchez Ambía; MarcBlanchet; Leslie Daigle; Akram Atallah; Trang Nguyen; Yuko Green; Theresa Swinehart; Bart Boswinkel; Heidi Ullrich; David Olive; Marika Konings; Olof Nordling Subject: CWG-Stewardship role in implementation To: ALAC, CCNSO, GAC, GNSO, SSAC Cc: CWG-Stewardship, ICG, CRISP, IANAPLAN, CCWG-Accountability, ICANN Implementation & ICANN Policy Staff. Dear Chartering Organizations of the CWG IANA Stewardship, Subject: CWG-Stewardship role in implementation At ICANN54 in Dublin, the IANA Stewardship Coordination Group (ICG) confirmed designation of the operational communities to be responsible for direct implementation oversight of their proposals. The CWG-Stewardship also met during the course of ICANN54 and discussed this role and we continued this discussion in a subsequent meeting on Thursday 5 November 2015. An oversight role is not specifically detailed in our Charter, but it is the CWG-Stewardship's view that our role in implementation is to ensure that the implementation is consistent with the CWG-Stewardship Final Proposal and furthermore, to provide input on the implementation work when required by staff working on the implementation or, if and when necessary, to bring the implementation work back in line with the intent of the Final Proposal. In our view, the most logical option is to have the CWG-Stewardship working group continue in its current form and with the responsibility to monitor the implementation and provide input where needed. Of course, this responsibility would include regular updates to the Chartering Organizations via the appointed members as well as consultations with the Chartering Organizations should issues be identified that are deemed without this specific remit. We note here for your information, that while the CWG-Stewardship Final Proposal was submitted in June 2015, the CWG-Stewardship has remained active and therefore available when needed. This has included being available to answer questions from the ICG, or to monitor the CCWG-Accountability dependencies and to coordinate with the other operational communities on shared issues such as IANA intellectual property rights. As the CWG-Stewardship Charter does not specifically address implementation, we would like to ensure that the CWG-Stewardship's proposed approach in relation to implementation is not inconsistent with the intent of the Chartering Organizations concerning the scope and role of the CWG-Stewardship. We therefore propose to proceed to oversee the implementation work as described above unless there are objections from one or more Chartering Organizations. We would like to emphasize that the CWG-Stewardship does not intend to change its working methods in light of this ongoing role. The group will remain open to anyone who wishes to join, and we will welcome informed individuals with relevant implementation and operational experience to join the CWG-Stewardship in this next phase. Thank you for your consideration of this matter and for your ongoing support of our work. Please let us know of any concerns by no later than 30 November 2015. Jonathan Robinson & Lise Fuhr CWG-Stewardship co-Chairs

Formal update CCWG Accountability Published
by Bart Boswinkel Nov. 16, 2015

Nov. 16, 2015

Dear all, The CCWG Accountability has published its brief and preliminary overview of the proposal for improving ICANN's accountability developed. It includes a very high-level summary of the main changes being proposed by the community and outlines what will be described in the full proposal. The 36-page document is designed to update the community on recent progress in and after ICANN54 in Dublin and raise awareness of the proposed enhancements to ICANN's accountability as a more detailed proposal is finalized. While this formal update reflects the current consensus positions of the group, there are outstanding elements that remain to be finalized. These finishing details are highlighted in the document, and will be confirmed and detailed in the Third Draft Proposal. The full announcement can be viewed at: https://www.icann.org/news/blog/ccwg-accountability-issues-formal-update-on… The formal update can be downloaded from: https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/cwg-draft-2-proposal-work-strea… Kind regards, Bart Boswinkel
