Volunteers for IRP IOT |
|
Request from: |
ICANN Org |
|
Summary: |
Volunteers are needed to re-compose the Independent Review Process (IRP) Implementation Oversight Team (IOT), which will develop published Supplemental Procedures for ICANN’s Independent
Review Process. The work of the IRP IOT is important to ICANN’s accountability and sets many procedures around how IRPs are administered. BACKGROUND Under the ICANN Bylaws, ICANN is required to consult with the SOs and ACs regarding the establishment of the IRP IOT. Last October, the IRP IOT produced an interim set of Supplemental
Procedures that were adopted by the ICANN Board during ICANN63, and now a final set of Supplemental Procedures is needed. For many team meetings, the IRP IOT rarely had more than the five participants required for a quorum, and frequently faced challenges
meeting a quorum. The goal of this team is to reach a final set of Supplemental Procedures that reflects input from across the ICANN community, which prompts this request for additional volunteers to join. |

Proposed renewal .asia registry agreement |
|
Request from: |
ICANN Global Domains Division |
|
Summary: |
ICANN is posting the proposed agreement for renewal of the 2006 .asia Registry Agreement for public comment, which is set to expire on 25 March 2020. The .asia 2010
Registry Agreement was originally set to expire in May 2017, and at the time ICANN was in the process of updating the base generic top-level domain (gTLD) Registry Agreement (herein referred to as the base registry agreement). It was mutually agreed that the
terms of the .asia 2010 Registry Agreement would be extended while the base registry agreement was finalized, and that both parties would work in good faith to update the agreement in alignment with the base registry agreement as soon as practical. The .asia
renewal agreement proposal is a result of bilateral discussions between ICANN and dotAsia Organisation Limited, the Registry Operator for the .asia top-level domain (TLD). |
