FW: Consensus policy recommendation on WHOIS service
by Bruce Tonkin Dec. 22, 2005

Dec. 22, 2005

-----Original Message----- From: Bruce Tonkin Sent: Thursday, 22 December 2005 4:32 PM Subject: Consensus policy recommendation on WHOIS service To: Chair, ICANN Board From: Chair, GNSO Council Hello Vint, At the GNSO Council meeting in Vancouver on 28 November 2005, the GNSO Council approved the following consensus policy recommendation relating to the WHOIS service provided by gtld registries and gtld registrars by super-majority vote. "In order to facilitate reconciliation of any conflicts between local/national mandatory privacy laws or regulations and applicable provisions of the ICANN contract regarding the collection, display and distribution of personal data via the gTLD WHOIS service, ICANN should: 1. Develop and publicly document a procedure for dealing with the situation in which a registrar or registry can credibly demonstrate that it is legally prevented by local/national privacy laws or regulations from fully complying with applicable provisions of its ICANN contract regarding the collection, display and distribution of personal data via the gTLD WHOIS service. 2. Create goals for the procedure which include: (a) Ensuring that ICANN staff is informed of a conflict at the earliest appropriate juncture; (b) Resolving the conflict, if possible, in a manner conducive to ICANN's Mission, applicable Core Values and the stability and uniformity of the Whois system; (c) Providing a mechanism for the recognition, if appropriate, in circumstances where the conflict cannot be otherwise resolved, of an exception to contractual obligations to those registries/registrars to which the specific conflict applies with regard to collection, display and distribution of personally identifiable data via the gTLD WHOIS service; and (d) Preserving sufficient flexibility for ICANN staff to respond to particular factual situations as they arise. The GNSO recommends the ICANN staff consider the advice given in the task force report as to a recommended procedure (see http://gnso.icann.org/issues/tf-final-rpt-25oct05.htm)" I have asked the ICANN staff to complete a Council report incorporating details of the recent vote, for consideration by the Board in its meeting in Feburary 2006.

FW: Regarding Timelines for the new gTLD policy development process
by Bruce Tonkin Dec. 22, 2005

Dec. 22, 2005

-----Original Message----- From: Bruce Tonkin Sent: Thursday, 22 December 2005 4:17 PM Subject: Timelines for the new gTLD policy development process To: Chair, ICANN Board From: Chair, GNSO Council Hello Vint, The GNSO Council, at its teleconference today (21 Dec 2005), voted to extend the public comment period (see http://www.icann.org/announcements/announcement-06dec05.htm) for the new gTLD policy development process from 9 Jan 2005 to 31 Jan 2005, in order to get more substantive comments. The intent is to encourage individuals and organisations to submit substantive papers on the topic, and arrange appropriate teleconferences where some of these papers can be presented to the GNSO. The GNSO Council also voted to extend the time available for constituencies to prepare position papers to 31 Jan 2005. It has been a long standing issue that the current timelines for the policy development process within the ICANN by-laws are unworkable for substantial policy issues, where wide consultation is required amongst people spread around the world. The independent review of the GNSO processes (see http://gnso.icann.org/reviews/gnso-review-sec4-22dec04.pdf) in Dec 2004 recommended that the process be revised. The GNSO Council is concerned that either the Board should endorse the approach taken by the GNSO Council in this instance, or perhaps a minor change could be made to the ICANN bylaws with respect to the policy development process that states that the timeline of a PDP may be changed on a case-by-case basis provided this is approved by a super-majority vote of the GNSO Council (or alternatively by a majority vote of the Board if that level of governance is desired). I request that this issue be considered for the ICANN Board meeting of 10 January 2006, and request that the Board provide a response back to the GNSO Council on this issue. Regards, Bruce Tonkin

Re: [council] Extension of public comment period - the "quickie" notice

I am pretty happy with language. I suggest a paragraph break between the two subjects, and that it say " in addition to the extention, the Council is issuing a call for papers focused on substantive comments addressing the questions in the TOR,...". Resume Olof's language. Should it also note that the deadline for constituency statements will be extended to cooincide with these dates? Excellent draft. -----Original Message----- From: "olof nordling" <olof.nordling(a)icann.org> Date: Wed, 21 Dec 2005 22:48:47 To:<council(a)gnso.icann.org> Cc:"'Kurt Pritz'" <pritz(a)icann.org>, "'Maria Farrell'" <maria.farrell(a)icann.org>, "'Glen De Saint Géry'" <glen(a)icann.org>, "'Liz Williams'" <liz.williams(a)icann.org>, <tina.dam(a)icann.org> Subject: [council] Extension of public comment period - the "quickie" notice Dear all, As agreed during the Council call, heres my proposal for an announcement of the extended public comment period for the new gTLD PDP, to be posted on the ICANN front page: Extension of Public Comment Period on GNSO New gTLDs Policy Development Process In order to enable interested parties to prepare substantive comments on the identified issue areas in this policy development process, the deadline for comments has been extended to 31 January 2006. In addition, a call for papers, for posting and ensuing oral presentations to the GNSO, will be issued shortly with the same deadline of 31 January 2006. Could this be sufficient for the quick version? As time is of essence in order to get it posted before the Christmas break I would need your comments before 6 PM CET/5 PM UTC. (Kurt: please advise if that timeline is doable for getting it posted before Santa takes over) We will have to develop the call for papers in detail in the near future, of course. Best regards Olof PS. As it was a little unclear how many were interested to be in this quick loop, I send this to the whole list - with my apologies if you consider it spam. Regards, Marilyn Cade

I thought I heard noises in the background at various times, but wasn't sure if it was Santa chuckling, or Scrooge like noises. Now we know was Ross voting! -----Original Message----- From: Ross Rader <ross(a)tucows.com> Date: Wed, 21 Dec 2005 14:17:56 To:names council <council(a)gnso.icann.org> Subject: [council] Chair election Ballot I tried three times to cast my vote telephonically (and my proxy for Maureen). I've since called back in, but rather than interrupt the call, I just wanted to show for the record that I am in favor of the motion to elect Bruce.
