Motion for JAS WG charter extension
by KnobenW＠telekom.de 04 Dec '10

04 Dec '10

All, I'd like to amend the "Motion for JAS WG charter extension" as follows: Remove "Resolved 1. c) Establishing a framework (for consideration etcetera,) including a possible recommendation for a separate ICANN originated foundation, for managing any auction income, beyond costs. for future rounds and ongoing assistance;" Rationale: First, I'm convinced the community and ICANN have to be prepared how to manage any potential new gTLD auction profit. As usual in case profit is available one can expect many interested community groups expressing their needs to share that profit where new applicants are one group of it. In addition parts of the overall ICANN program could also profit from that fund (e.g. outreach program, DNS security etc.). So my reservations to this topic being covered by the JAS group only are: - it is a too large area for the JAS and would go far beyond their originally intended scope - there are lots of more urgent tasks for this WG as laid down in the new draft charter. Handling the potential auction profit is of lower priority on the timescale . - as per definition the JAS view is applicant oriented that would cause an imbalance As I pointed out in former e-mails the JAS could express the new applicants' general interest in taking part in the distribution of the potential auction profit. I suggest to initiate discussion on council level how to cover this topic separately and appropriately. I'm in agreement with all other items in the charter and would be happy if the amendment could be accepted as friendly . Save travels to Cartagena Wolf-Ulrich _____ Von: Rafik Dammak [mailto:rafik.dammak@gmail.com] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 1. Dezember 2010 20:58 An: Knoben, Wolf-Ulrich Betreff: regarding your amendment Hi Wolf-Ulrich, regarding your comment last time about JAS motion, I would like to know what are the reasons for asking to remove the 1.c . I think that we should find a better and constructive compromise.what do you think? Regards Rafik

Council Resolution 20081105
by Mike Rodenbaugh 04 Dec '10

04 Dec '10

Could someone from the TLD team on Staff indicate whether this Resolution was considered when devising the timeline for the current public comment period re the PF-AG? Thanks, Mike Rodenbaugh 20081105-1 Motion on the extension of Public Comment Periods during ICANN meetings Motion proposed by Mike Rodenbaugh, seconded by Zahid Jamil and Kristina Rosette Whereas, ICANN's meetings require the full attention of GNSO Councilors and many other GNSO participants. Whereas, ICANN has many ongoing public comment periods of significant interest to many GNSO Councilors and participants. Whereas, ICANN's typical comment periods are already difficult for many members of the ICANN community, particularly those that must consult with members of their Constituency and/or member organization(s). RESOLVED: The GNSO Council strongly urges ICANN Staff to extend, for seven days, any public comment periods which overlap with any of the seven days of an ICANN meeting.

I have been in the emergency room at Nuevo Hospital Bocagrande in Cartagena since mid-afternoon yesterday. I have a 1 cm kidney stone in the ureter between my left kidney and my bladder that was causing severe pain and nausea. They have controlled the pain well via intravenous meds. Considering how noisy it was, I slept surprisingly well last night, undoubtedly helped by the meds. Next steps will hopefully be determined this morning. The hospital urologist is supposed to meet with me this morning to discuss his recommendations. And I am also expecting advice from doctors in the U.S. associated with the international medical coverage provided by VeriSign. Other than being impatient and frustrated, I am doing fine and still hoping that I can join the week of meetings soon.

Public Comment: Proposed Changes to Enhance ICANN's Registrar Accreditation Evaluation Process
by Glen de Saint Géry 03 Dec '10

03 Dec '10

http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-2-22nov10-en.htm Public Comment: Proposed Changes to Enhance ICANN's Registrar Accreditation Evaluation Process 22 November 2010 The community is invited to provide comments on proposed measures to enhance ICANN's registrar accreditation evaluation process. Specifically, ICANN is seeking public comment on: 1. A proposed set of terms and conditions [PDF, 214 KB] for the registrar accreditation application; 2. The scope of additional proposed due diligence checks; 3. A proposed increase to the registrar accreditation application fee as a consequence of the need for ICANN to conduct additional information searches to support the additional due diligence checks. Background/Explanation of Proposed Measures ICANN assesses whether an applicant is eligible to become an ICANN-accredited registrar according to the qualification criteria set out in the Statement of Registrar Accreditation Policy. The current accreditation evaluation process includes a review of supporting documents and verification of information submitted by each applicant against the qualification criteria, in order to determine if the applicant has sufficient technical, operational and financial capabilities to become an ICANN-accredited registrar. ICANN also conducts a background search of the applicant through public sources, which may provide information or reveal issues that could have a material impact on the applicant's ability to operate a registrar business in accordance with ICANN's requirements. Terms and Conditions In order to enhance the accreditation process, ICANN recently adopted a new version of the Accreditation Application Form and amended the section "Information for Registrars and Registrants" published on its website. To provide further clarity on the respective obligations of the applicant and ICANN in relation to the registrar accreditation applications, ICANN proposes to introduce a set of terms and conditions that will apply to all registrar accreditation applications. A copy of the proposed terms and conditions is available here [PDF, 214 KB]. Additional Due Diligence Checks In addition, members of the community, including representatives of law enforcement agencies, have recommended a number of areas where ICANN should focus further due diligence checks of applicants during the registrar accreditation application process, including: * Criminal records; * Credit records; * Financial history and solvency; * Corporate/company structure and ownership. These due diligence checks would require ICANN to complete these inquiries through the use of external resources (including reputable commercial third party information service providers). Proposed Increase in Registrar Accreditation Application Fee In order to cover the additional third party search costs, ICANN proposes to increase the application fee for all new registrar accreditation applications (on a cost recovery basis) from the current fee of USD 2,500 to USD 3,500. The Process From Here: At the end of this Public Comment period, ICANN staff will analyze the comments received and determine the appropriate steps and arrangements that will be required to introduce the terms and conditions and implement any proposed additional due diligence checks and the resulting fee increase for registrar accreditation applications. Deadline and How to Submit Comments: Staff is opening a 60-day public consultation forum, from 22 November 2010 through 21 January 2011 and invites community comments concerning these proposed measures. * The formal Public Comment Forum Box is located here: http://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/public-comment-201101-en.htm#registr… * To submit comments: registrar-accredit-eval(a)icann.org * To view comments: http://forum.icann.org/lists/registrar-accredit-eval/ Staff Responsible: Steve Gobin Glen de Saint Géry GNSO Secretariat gnso.secretariat(a)gnso.icann.org http://gnso.icann.org

Public Comment Requested on Draft 2011-2014 Strategic Plan
by Glen de Saint Géry 03 Dec '10

03 Dec '10

http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-27nov10-en.htm ICANN produces a three-year Strategic Plan (reviewed and updated annually) and an annual Operating Plan. The planning year is made up of several parts: FY12 Development Cycle As part of the early stages of the ICANN's strategic planning process for this year we did an environment scan as to what has changed, reviewed the previous year survey and last year's feedback received from the community to create an updated draft 2011-2014 Strategic Plan. In addition there have been consultations with key stakeholders to develop this draft. As the next element of consultation on the 2011-2014 Strategic Plan, ICANN invites comments from the community on this amendment to last year's plan. See http://www.icann.org/en/strategic-plan/draft-strategic-plan-2011-2014-27nov… [PDF, 220 KB]. The comment period will close on 10 January 2010. The draft plan will be revised based on the comments received. A final version of the 2011-2014 Strategic Plan will be submitted to the Board for approval at their upcoming January meeting. Please go to http://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/public-comment-201101-en.htm#draft-s… in order to participate and share your comments on the draft Strategic Plan for 2011-2014.

Public Comment: Community Comment Invited on New Permanent Charter of GNSO's Commercial Stakeholder Group
by Glen de Saint Géry 03 Dec '10

03 Dec '10

http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-02dec10-en.htm Public Comment: Community Comment Invited on New Permanent Charter of GNSO's Commercial Stakeholder Group 2 December 2010 The Constituencies of the GNSO's Commercial Stakeholder Group (CSG) have informed ICANN Staff that they have ratified a permanent CSG charter document. Consistent with the Board's oversight authority regarding GNSO Stakeholder Group Charters (see ICANN Bylaws Article X, Section 5 (3)), the Staff has opened a public comment forum to seek community comments on the new permanent charter document. A copy of the new CSG Charter document ratified by the Commercial and Business, Intellectual Property and Internet Service and Connection Providers Constituencies can be found at - http://gnso.icann.org/improvements/csg-revised-charter-30nov10-en.pdf [PDF, 301 KB] All members of the ICANN community are invited to review the document and share comments and observations with the Board and the wider community through 23 January 2011. Background and Explanation: As part of the comprehensive GNSO Improvements effort, last July the ICANN Board approved (see ICANN Board Resolution 2009.30.07.09) the Charters of four new GNSO Stakeholder Groups (SGs). These SG structures represented a new concept for the GNSO that was envisioned by the Board Governance Committee GNSO Review Working Group On GNSO Improvements (BGC WG -see the BGC WG's February 2008 Report here [PDF, 193 KB]). The Charter approved for the CSG last July was termed a "transitional" charter [PDF, 32 KB]. Sections 3 and 8.2 of that transitional charter anticipated future CSG efforts to establish a permanent "final' charter document. The Constituencies of the CSG (Commercial and Business, Intellectual Property and Internet Service and Connection Providers) have informed ICANN Staff that they have now ratified a permanent charter document. The Process From Here: At the end of this public comment forum period, the ICANN Staff will provide a summary/analysis of the comments submitted regarding the CSG Charter. That summary/analysis will be shared with the community and the Board. The Board will subsequently take action regarding the charter document consistent with its GNSO SG oversight authority. Deadline and How to Submit Comments: The Staff is opening a public consultation forum through 23 January 2011, and invites community comments on this topic. The formal Public Comment Forum Box is located here: http://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/public-comment-201101-en.htm#csg-per… To submit comments: csg-permanent-charter(a)icann.org To view (and consider responding) to the comments of others: http://forum.icann.org/lists/csg-permanent-charter/ Staff Responsible: Robert Hoggarth Glen de Saint Géry GNSO Secretariat gnso.secretariat(a)gnso.icann.org http://gnso.icann.org
