Sept. 16, 2009

Thanks Chuck. Would accept the attached amendments as friendly? It removes the "data accuracy and reliability" terminology. That keeps it focused on the issue at hand and lessens the chance that the WG gets off on non-related issues. Tim -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [council] Motion to approve Internationalized Registration Data Working Group Charter From: "Gomes, Chuck" <cgomes(a)verisign.com> Date: Tue, September 15, 2009 1:26 pm To: "GNSO Council" <council(a)gnso.icann.org> I would like to submit the attached motion for consideration at our 24 Sep 09 GNSO Council meeting. Note that it is also posted on the GNSO wiki at https://st.icann.org/gnso-council/index.cgi?24_sept_motions. Chuck Gomes GNSO Council Motion to approve Internationalized Registration Data Working Group Charter 15 Sep 09 Whereas: There have been increasing community concerns that the current WHOIS service is deficient in a number of ways, including data accuracy and reliability, as well as in other technical areas noted in recent SSAC reports, such as accessibility and readability of WHOIS contact information in an internationalized domain name (IDN) environment. On 21 April 2009, the ICANN Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC) published a report titled SAC037 "Display and usage of Internationalized Registration Data" (SAC037) located at http://www.icann.org/committees/security/sac037.pdf. On 26 June 2009 the ICANN Board approved a resolution requesting that the GNSO and SSAC, in consultation with staff, convene an Internationalized Registration Data Working Group (IRD WG) comprised of individuals with knowledge, expertise, and experience in these areas to study the feasibility and suitability of introducing display specifications to deal with the internationalization of Registration Data. In the 26 June resolution, the Board directs the Internationalized Registration Data Working Group to solicit input from interested constituencies including ccTLD operators and the ccNSO during its discussions to ensure broad community input. ICANN Staff in cooperation with members of the GNSO Council and SSAC developed a draft charter for said working group as attached. The GNSO Council: Approves the IRD WG draft charter, and Encourages GNSO constituencies, stakeholder groups and other GNSO participants to identify possible participants of the IRD WG with knowledge, expertise, and experience in these areas to study the feasibility and suitability of introducing display specifications to deal with the internationalization of Registration Data.

I am not sure how much detail is required but here are my previous suggestions that I sent Glen previously. I think we should do two events. The first would be to create an agenda item on the Saturday morning where we could simply go around the room and introduce ourselves and discuss openly any areas of concern - specifically to do with the Council itself (points of view, voting etc). I know the registrars for example would say that they are a little sick and tired of being pigeonholed simply because they have commercial interests. I'm sure other groups would have pet hates too. Secondly I think we should have a social gathering on the Saturday evening (perhaps just a few pre-dinner drinks if the budget doesn't allow too much) where GNSO Councillors both new and old and ICANN staff (those that interact regularly with the Council perhaps) can gather once again for the purpose of getting to know new members better and, more importantly, for each Constituency (Stakeholder Group) be able to convey their distinct and perhaps unique perspectives on the Council and the issues that are before us. That said, it is a social event. It is more about getting to know the personalities that make up the GNSO Council. I believe that we would need a show of support for these ideas in order for this to happen. Can I please get your ideas/ thoughts/ suggestions or support to the list please? Thanks. Adrian Kinderis

Public Comments in 6 UN langauges open until 5 October: Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy Part B Policy Development Process
by Glen de Saint Géry Sept. 15, 2009

Sept. 15, 2009

http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-14sep09-en.htm Public Comment: Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy Part B Policy Development Process 14 September 2009 Input requested The Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO), the body of ICANN responsible for policy development relating to generic Top-Level Domains, is asking for public comments on issues relating to procedures for modifying registration information and transferring domain names between registers to inform the deliberations of the Working Group created to address these issues. Specifically, comments on establishing a new urgent return procedure for challenging potentially fraudulent domain name transfers or alterations, potential measures to undo inappropriate transfers and the use of Registrar Lock Status are requested from the broader community. The details of the issues being considered are provided below. Background The Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy (IRTP) aims to provide a straightforward procedure for domain name holders to transfer their names from one ICANN-accredited registrar to another. The policy is an existing GNSO consensus policy (for more information about consensus policies, please see http://www.icann.org/en/general/consensus-policies.htm) that was implemented in late 2004 and is now being reviewed by the GNSO Council. In order to facilitate this review, the Council has sub-divided the issues and initiated a Policy Development Process (PDP) on those issues grouped together in part B on 24 June 2009. An IRTP Part B Working Group was chartered to review and provide recommendations on the following issues: Whether a process for urgent return/resolution of a domain name should be developed, as discussed within the Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC) hijacking report (http://www.icann.org/announcements/hijacking-report-12jul05.pdf [PDF, 400K]); see also (http://www.icann.org/correspondence/cole-to-tonkin-14mar05.htm) Whether additional provisions on undoing inappropriate transfers are needed, especially with regard to disputes between a Registrant and Admin Contact (AC). The policy is clear that the Registrant can overrule the AC, but how this is implemented is currently at the discretion of the registrar; Whether special provisions are needed for a change of registrant when it occurs near the time of a change of registrar. The policy does not currently deal with change of registrant, which often figures in hijacking cases; Whether standards or best practices should be implemented regarding use of a Registrar Lock status (e.g. when it may/may not, should/should not be applied); Whether, and if so, how best to clarify denial reason #7: A domain name was already in 'lock status' provided that the Registrar provides a readily accessible and reasonable means for the Registered Name Holder to remove the lock status.

Motion to Approve Plan for Bicameral Council Seat Transition
by Gomes, Chuck Sept. 15, 2009

Sept. 15, 2009

I would like to make the motion copied below and attached for Council consideration in our meeting on 24 September 2009. Note that it is also posted on the Council wiki at https://st.icann.org/gnso-council/index.cgi?24_sept_motions. Please note the following: * To deal with concerns about the short time constraints and inability for constituencies to get appropriate input from their members, please note that the motion only approves the plan as a draft that will be distributed for public comment; the final plan as possibly modified by any input during the public comment period or further Council discussion would be voted on on 28 October in Seoul. * A very brief (7-day) public comment period is proposed for the draft Council Operating Procedures that will be distributed not later than tomorrow. The reason for the short comment period is that our next Council meeting is scheduled for 8 October with just a two-week interval in between meetings and we will need time in the second week to finalize the assignment of NCAs to Council seats. * I used the comments received from Olga, Alan, Kristina, Stephan and Mike to develop a plan for assigning the NCAs to seats. I think I accommodated suggestions from each of them in the proposed approach. Please distribute this motion to your constituencies and stakeholder groups ASAP for their review and input before our meeting on 24 September. Proposed amendments are welcome. Thanks, Chuck Motion to Approve Plan for Bicameral Council Seat Transition 15 September 2009 Whereas: * On 27 August 2009 the ICANN Board approved Bylaws Amendments Related to GNSO Restructuring ( http://www.icann.org/en/general/bylaws-amendments-27aug09.pdf <http://www.icann.org/en/general/bylaws-amendments-27aug09.pdf> ) in support of the transition to a new GNSO Council to be seated during the ICANN meetings in Seoul in October 2009. * Article XX (Transition Article), Section 5, item 5.e of the Bylaws Amendments reads, "The three seats currently selected by the Nominating Committee shall be assigned by the Nominating Committee as follows: one voting member to the Contracted Party House, one voting member to the Non-Contracted Party House, and one non-voting member assigned to the GNSO Council at large." * The Bylaws Amendments were approved too late in the 2009 Nominating Committee process to allow the three Nominating Committee seats to be assigned by the Nominating Committee. * Article XX (Transition Article), Section 5, item 6 of the Bylaws Amendments reads, "The GNSO Council, as part of its Restructure Implementation Plan, will document: (a) how vacancies, if any, will be handled during the transition period; (b) for each Stakeholder Group, how each assigned Council seat to take effect at the 2009 ICANN annual meeting will be filled, whether through a continuation of an existing term or a new election or appointment; (c) how it plans to address staggered terms such that the new GNSO Council preserves as much continuity as reasonably possible; (d) the effect of Bylaws term limits on each Council member." * Article XX (Transition Article), Section 5, item 11 of the Bylaws Amendments reads, "As soon as practical after the commencement of the ICANN meeting in October 2009, or another date the Board may designate by resolution, the GNSO Council shall, in accordance with Article X, Section 3(7) and its GNSO Operating Procedures, elect officers and give the ICANN Secretary written notice of its selections." * The GNSO Council desires to: i) Maximize continuity in the transition from the old to the new Council; ii) minimize the complexity for Stakeholder Groups in selecting Councilors; and iii) respect the rights of GNSO Stakeholder Groups to elect their Council representatives in ways that best meet their needs while complying with the ICANN Bylaws. * The GNSO Council Operations work team prepared draft GNSO Council Operating Procedures and the Operations Steering Committee forwarded those for Council consideration on 16 September 2009. The GNSO Council approves the following plan: 1. Not later than 30 September 2009 if possible, all Councilors who will be seated in the 28 October public GNSO Council meeting should be selected and the GNSO Secretariat provided with their contact information. 2. Each Stakeholder Group may determine the term dates for its respective Councilors provided those dates are compliant with the ICANN Bylaws and their respective charters; any terms that are changed from the previously defined dates strictly for the purpose of seating the bicameral Council shall not be considered partial terms with regard to complying with Bylaws term limit requirements. 3. Each House will elect a vice chair for the new bicameral Council not later than Tuesday, 27 October 2009. (Ideally, this should happen during the weekend working sessions on 24-25 October 2009.) 4. The new bicameral Council will be seated in the public GNSO Council meeting on 28 October 2009. 5. Avri Doria, current GNSO Council chair, will serve as chair of the bicameral Council meeting on 28 October until such time as a new chair is elected, at which time the new chair will assume the chair responsibilities. If an absentee ballot is required to complete the chair's election, this will be a 24 hour ballot scheduled to end on 29 October. If no chair has been elected by the end of the Annual meeting on 30 October, the vice-chairs will assume the chair responsibilities as defined in the Bylaws 6. Not later than 24 September 2009, the existing GNSO Council will approve a draft of the GNSO Council Operating Procedures (previously called the Rules of Procedure of the GNSO Council) and submit them for a 7-day public comment period starting not later than 24 September 2009; such draft will include a revision of those areas of the existing Rules necessary for seating the bicameral Council. 7. As much in advance of the meeting as possible, the agenda for the 28 October 2009 Council meeting will be prepared by the existing Council under the leadership of Avri Doria as chair and shall include but not be limited to the following two action items: 1) Approval of the Council Operations Procedures necessary for seating the bicameral Council; 2) Election of chair. 8. The Council requests that the Nominating Committee be tasked with assigning all three Nominating Committee Appointees (NCAs) to Council seats beginning after the 2010 ICANN Annual Meeting. For the period starting on 28 October 2009 and continuing only through the 2010 ICANN Annual Meeting, the following procedure will be used to assign NCAs to Council seats: a. ICANN Staff should ensure that a Statement of Interest is received from Andrey Kolesnikov and sent to the Council not later than 30 September 2009. b. Not later than 30 September 2009, new and existing NCAs will make best efforts to collaborate and provide their input to the GNSO Council regarding their recommendations for assigning Council seats. Such input should include any seating assignments that any of the NCAs would individually be uncomfortable taking along with their reasons. c. Taking into consideration the input from the NCAs, if any, both GNSO Council Houses and/or their respective Stakeholder Groups should attempt to reach agreement on the seating for each of the three NCAs for the first year of the new bicameral Council and communicate the results to the Council not later than 7 October 2009. d. If the GNSO Council Houses and/or their respective Stakeholder Groups are unable to reach agreement, then the new, inexperienced NCA will take the non-voting Council seat and random selection will be used to assign the other two NCAs to Houses before the Council meeting on 8 October 2009. e. In the meeting scheduled for 8 October 2009, the Council will acknowledge the results of this process and confirm that it was properly conducted. 9. The Council requests ICANN Staff support to fulfill this plan, including but not limited to scheduling and arranging for any needed teleconference calls.

Chuck Gomes GNSO Council Motion to approve Internationalized Registration Data Working Group Charter 15 Sep 09 Whereas: * There have been increasing community concerns that the current WHOIS service is deficient in a number of ways, including data accuracy and reliability, as well as in other technical areas noted in recent SSAC reports, such as accessibility and readability of WHOIS contact information in an internationalized domain name (IDN) environment. * On 21 April 2009, the ICANN Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC) published a report titled SAC037 "Display and usage of Internationalized Registration Data" (SAC037) located at http://www.icann.org/committees/security/sac037.pdf <http://www.icann.org/committees/security/sac037.pdf> . * On 26 June 2009 the ICANN Board approved a resolution requesting that the GNSO and SSAC, in consultation with staff, convene an Internationalized Registration Data Working Group (IRD WG) comprised of individuals with knowledge, expertise, and experience in these areas to study the feasibility and suitability of introducing display specifications to deal with the internationalization of Registration Data. * In the 26 June resolution, the Board directs the Internationalized Registration Data Working Group to solicit input from interested constituencies including ccTLD operators and the ccNSO during its discussions to ensure broad community input. * ICANN Staff in cooperation with members of the GNSO Council and SSAC developed a draft charter for said working group as attached. The GNSO Council: * Approves the IRD WG draft charter, and * Encourages GNSO constituencies, stakeholder groups and other GNSO participants to identify possible participants of the IRD WG with knowledge, expertise, and experience in these areas to study the feasibility and suitability of introducing display specifications to deal with the internationalization of Registration Data.
