Meeting with ICANN staff regarding policy development process
by Bruce Tonkin 16 Jun '04

16 Jun '04

Hello All, As discussed during the call, and to help with the selection of candidates with the right skills for the GNSO policy support positions, I would like to schedule a call between senior ICANN staff (e.g Paul Verhoef, Kurt Pritz, Paul Twomey, John Jeffrey) and a small group of Council members that have actively chaired various task forces and committees over the past few years within the namescouncil/GNSO Council. The aim will be to agree on a set of shared expectations for: - the types of tasks to be assigned to the ICANN staff - the respective role of task force members and chairs - procedures for allocating tasks to ICANN staff in an environment where there are often several policy development processes operating in parallel and hence the chance for contention in the use of resources These shared expectations can be documented and shared with the Council as a whole. Please let me know if you would be willing to volunteer to be involved in this process. It is likely that the call would be scheduled towards the end of next week. Regards, Bruce

Council decision regarding WHOIS timetables
by Bruce Tonkin 16 Jun '04

16 Jun '04

Hello All, Just a quick summary of the Council decision. (1) Public comment to be extended to Monday 5 July 2004 - task forces are requested to invite interested parties to participate in a couple of open teleconferences to provide an opportunity for parties to ask questions of the task force and offer input as part of the public comment process (2) Task forces should continue to work internally to further converge their work towards the ideal 100% consensus position. NOTE: All task force members are reminded that in addition to their advocacy role on behalf of their constituencies, they are also responsible for working cooperatively with other task force members to attempt to reach an ideal consensus position on the policy. Task forces 1 and 2 should also attempt to coordinate their work so that their recommendations are consistent. (3) Task forces should identify where further implementation analysis is necessary for some recommendations before they can be finally voted on by Council (4) Reports to be updated by Monday 12 July 2004 Regards, Bruce Tonkin

RE: [council] Draft Agenda for GNSO Council meeting Wednesday 16 June 2004
by Cade,Marilyn S - LGCRP 16 Jun '04

Welcome back. On other items of business, can we add a brief discussion on the PDP process, timing, requesting an issues report, etc. regarding the further introduction of new gTLDs, and whether it is necessary to have a PDP related to IDNs? The first item has timelines associated with it, as I recall, from the MOU. Could we invite staff to brief us on any separate, but related staff level work related to the policy process for each of those topics. Also, since the ccNSO will be holding its first meeting in K.L. I suggest that we arrange at least a "get acqauinted" session. Should Council also welcome this important step in the creation of the ccNSO Council? Marilyn S.

by Bruce Tonkin 16 Jun '04

16 Jun '04

Hello All, As discussed during the meeting today, ICANN (the company) will be advertising for two staff positions to support the GNSO policy development process by the end of next week. One is the staff manager position (currently occupied by Barbara Roseman on short term contract). Please advise me if you would like to be involved in reviewing the position descriptions prior to the positions being advertised. Please note that a fast 24/48 hour turn around time would be required for any comments to ICANN (the company). I am expecting the draft position descriptions to be available by the end of the week.

by Bruce Tonkin 16 Jun '04

16 Jun '04

From: http://www.icann.org/general/amend6-jpamou-17sep03.htm 8. Continue the process of implementing new top level domains (TLDs), which process shall include consideration and evaluation of: a. The potential impact of new TLDs on the Internet root server system and Internet stability; b. The creation and implementation of selection criteria for new and existing TLD registries, including public explanation of the process, selection criteria, and the rationale for selection decisions; c. Potential consumer benefits/costs associated with establishing a competitive environment for TLD registries; and, d. Recommendations from expert advisory panels, bodies, agencies, or organizations regarding economic, competition, trademark, and intellectual property issues. Define and implement a predictable strategy for selecting new TLDs using straightforward, transparent, and objective procedures that preserve the stability of the Internet (strategy development to be completed by September 30, 2004 and implementation to commence by December 31, 2004).

Item 1: Approval of Agenda Agenda approved Item 2: Summary of the April 1, 2004 minutes Deferred until GNSO Council teleconference, June 10, 2004. Item 3: Update on WHOIS task forces Receive an update from the WHOIS task force chairs, Jeff Neuman, Jordyn Buchanan, Brian Darville - status of constituency statements - next steps - possible recommendations Jeff Neuman, task force 1 chair's apologies for being absent were noted and a report was provided in which an extension in time was requested for the preliminary report. Tom Keller, in Jordyn Buchanan's, absence reported that the Whois task force 2 was making good progress but that at least another week was needed to complete the preliminary report. Brian Darville, task force 3 chair supported an extension and a deadline where all 3 task forces would produce reports at the same time. A substantive section of the report deals with recommendations addressing best practices and further work required on the issue. Bruce Tonkin had consulted with John Jeffrey and reported that if final recommendations were to be made before the ICANN meetings in Kuala Lumpur, the report would have to be submitted to the ICANN Board 45 days before the Board meeting. He proposed extending the deadline for the preliminary reports to the end of May , followed by the prescribed public comment period so that in early July the reports could be updated in response to the public comments and presented to the GNSO Council for consideration at the Kuala Lumpur meeting. Bruce Tonkin, seconded by Ross Rader proposed: That the Whois task forces' timing for producing their first reports be extended to May 28, 2004 and that a joint task force meeting be scheduled for 2 weeks time. The motion carried unanimously Decision 1: The deadline for the submission of preliminary reports for the three Whois task forces be extended to May 28, 2004 and that a joint task force meeting take place before the deadline. Item 3: Update on PDP for approval process for gtld registry changes Receive an update from the GNSO Committee chair (Bruce Tonkin) Bruce Tonkin gave a high level summary of questions he had discussed with John Jeffrey, ICANN General Counsel. 1. The approval process: In the approval process did the ICANN Board need to approve a change or could the ICANN staff approve the change directly? The key question for ICANN staff would be "is the contractual change a material change?" A material change would require ICANN Board approval. In most of the instances involving a Quick Look Process or Detailed Review Process, where competition or technical advice is required, a contractual change is likely to require the ICANN Board's approval. The staff would be able to give approval to a proposal which was consistent with a clear existing ICANN policy or consistent with a previous Board decision. What sort of notice did the ICANN Board require to make a decision? Notice of a motion would be put out 45 days prior to the Board meeting, with 30 Days for public comment. The public comment would be summarized and included with the Board motion and presented to the Board members at least two weeks before the Board meeting. 2. The criteria for evaluation: It was Counsel's opinion that all the criteria could be framed under the headings: a. Technical - would the change affect the stability, interoperability or security of the Internet b. Competition - would the change have an impact on competition in the general sense. The criteria discussed by the Council in Rome could all be included as guidelines of issues for ICANN staff to consider when reviewing technical or competition aspects of the proposed change. 3. Appeals process Counsel felt that the reconsideration process in the existing bylaws would apply. There were already several processes in place, such as the dispute resolution provisions in the registry agreements, the reconsideration process in the ICANN bylaws, and the court of law under which the jurisdiction for the contracts fell and other mechanisms. Adding yet another appeal process would not add much value. Bruce Tonkin proposed updating the diagrams of 5 May, 2004, to explicitly include the ICANN Board approval step as well as the timing factor and inviting General Counsel to participate in a GNSO Council committee teleconference on the Policy Development Process for the approval process for gTLD registry changes. Item 5: Re-assignment of .net Receive an update from the .net Council subcommittee Philip Sheppard, .net Council subcommittee chair, reported that there had been a few teleconferences and mailing list exchanges in which all the subcommittee members had participated, Commercial and Business Users Constituency: Philip Sheppard Noncommercial Users Constituency: Marc Schneiders Registrars Constituency: Ross Rader gTLD Registries Constituency: Cary Karp Intellectual Property Interests Constituency: Lucy Nichols The Internet Service Providers and Connectivity Providers Constituency: Tony Holmes ALAC Liaison to the GNSO Council: Thomas Roessler The first draft report listed the criteria to be considered under 6 headings: 1. Criteria related to the targeting of the domain Dot net should remain un-sponsored. Dot net should remain un-chartered. 2. Criteria relating to stability: technical and financial competence The current .net registry agreement; efficiency and reliability, a baseline for the functional capabilities and performance specifications to handle potential migration issues, name service resolution time should not exceed the current time for existing .net name service resolution and the minimum financial stability should be required. 3. Criteria related to promotion of competition Maximization of consumer choice, pricing, innovation and new services should be considered. 4. Criteria related to existing registry services such as the pending Verisign wait list service, the redemption grace period and the migration of the test-bed internationalised domain names. Applicants should be asked "Does the applicant wish to maintain all existing registry services?" If yes, please provide specifics and demonstrate the technical and legal ability of the registry to maintain existing services. If no, please expand on any issues relating to the withdrawal of such services. 5.Continuity Grand fathering where existing registrants should not be penalised by changes in policy as a result of this process and should be entitled to maintain their registrations on terms materially consistent with their existing contracts under current policy, including the right to transfer a .net domain to another party. 6. Policy compliance Consensus policies of ICANN, both existing (UDRP, WHOIS, Deletes, Transfers etc), and any which are developed via the ICANN process in the future should be complied with by the registry operator. Policy development Policy development for .net should continue to take place in an open bottom-up process and all registrars that have qualified to operate as .net registrars, must be treated equitably by the registry operator. Bruce Tonkin cautioned that transparency was important and Cary Karp and Ken Stubbs suggested adding a disclaimer: "DRAFT report from the .net sub-committee in preparation for submission to the GNSO Council" on each page of the draft report . For the next meeting, Bruce Tonkin requested an audio record. The aim is to present the Final .net report to the GNSO Council at the June 6, 2004 teleconference. Item 6: Any Other Business 1. Update on ICANN staff support for the GNSO Council Bruce Tonkin reported on his conversation with Paul Verhoef on staff support who indicated that further GNSO staff support is under active consideration. The Brucenoted that with the current level of staff support, the amount of policy development work underway, and the necessary reliance on voluntary participation by members of the ICANN community, it will be difficult to meet the ICANN bylaws' timelines and this should be made clear to the ICANN Board and the community. The Council once more underlined the importance of the GNSO policy development processes and the need for adequate staffing. Bruce Tonkin proposed giving immediate feedback to Paul Verhoef that the GNSO Council felt that they could not wait till August for further GNSO staff support, and called for a small group of volunteers to seek a solution with senior ICANN staff. NOTE: after the meeting, ICANN management informed that additional staff resources for the GNSO are under consideration, that the recruitment processes - including job descriptions - are being drawn up, and that it is hoped that the appropriate resources will be put in place as soon as the budget approvals allow. Marilyn Cade mentioned that a WSIS update was being planned for Kuala Lumpur in a timeframe allowing everyone, including the GAC to attend. Bruce Tonkin reported discussions with a ccTLD representative about joint meetings in Kuala Lumpur to discuss internationalised domain names and Tuesday morning of the GNSO Council meeting was proposed as an initial schedule. Bruce Tonkin declared GNSO meeting closed and thanked everybody for participating. The meeting ended: 12:54 UTC Next GNSO Council teleconference on June 10, 2004, at 12:00 UTC see: Calendar

Hello Marilyn, > > On other items of business, can we add a brief discussion on > the PDP process, timing, requesting an issues report, etc. > regarding the further introduction of new gTLDs, and whether > it is necessary to have a PDP related to IDNs? The first item > has timelines associated with it, as I recall, from the MOU. OK. Will check MOU for timelines with respect to new TLDs. We also need to think about the "review of the GNSO" which is mentioned in the ICANN bylaws. We should think about doing are own internal review as a starting point. Part of this would be reviewing the timelines in the current bylaws and determine whether they are realistic in practice given that the policy development structure is essentially industry self-regulation. Our timelines probably need to be looked in the context of similar processes such as ITU standards and IETF standards - both of which have longer timeframes then envisaged in the bylaws. With respect to IDNs - we could probably consider that at the meeting in KL after the workshop. > Could we invite staff to brief us on any separate, but > related staff level work related to the policy process for > each of those topics. A good idea. Hopefully Paul Verhoef will be able to attend as the meeting time is more appropriate for his time zone than California. > > Also, since the ccNSO will be holding its first meeting in > K.L. I suggest that we arrange at least a "get acqauinted" > session. I will see what we can arrange - perhaps a breakfast of lunch together one day. I am not sure if the ccNSO Council will be in place by then. I will follow up. Regards, Bruce
