RE: [council] Whois Studies
by Tim Ruiz 28 Apr '11

28 Apr '11

Won't the researchers who responded to the RFP need to review the changes and comment on their cost and feasibility? Will June 1 allow enough time for that? Tim > -------- Original Message -------- > Subject: [council] Whois Studies > From: "Jonathan Robinson" <jonathan.robinson(a)ipracon.com> > Date: Wed, April 20, 2011 2:09 pm > To: <council(a)gnso.icann.org> > > FW: Whois StudiesAll, > > Based on the rationalisation outlined below, I would like to propose that Council further defers consideration of the WHOIS Registrant Identification Study i.e. that the motion be amended as follows: > > “Council defers consideration of the WHOIS Registrant Identification Study until the 9 June 2011 meeting and requests that any applicable motions in that regard be submitted not later than 1 June 2011.” > > The rationale for further delay is that the small working group of volunteers has met twice recently to discuss the Whois Study #2, the WHOIS Registrant Identification Study. The intention was to have a revised Study 2 proposal for Council consideration in the 28 April meeting. They anticipated making revisions to reduce presumptively negative terminology while retaining the original study design to prove/disprove a hypothesis that natural persons were using privacy/proxy while also engaging in commercial activities. But the discussion revealed more extensive questions about study 2: > · First, they believe that the present Study 2 proposal could be easily amended to answer all four registrant identification questions posed by the GAC in their April-2008 recommendations. > · Second, they believe that the objective and results of Study 2 can be improved to generate broader and deeper analysis that would provide needed context for GNSO and ICANN in future work on these issues. > Their goal will be to submit Study 2 recommendations to the Council not later than 1 June, in time for the 9 June Council meeting. > This delay should not have any impact on Studies 3 & 4, which are under consideration in the motion that is to be acted on April 28. > Best wishes, > > > Jonathan > > >

Fwd: FY 12 SSR Framework

Councillors, Please see below the message from Patrick Jones on the FY12 security, stability and resiliency framework.

In Cartagena, I heard many comments that the next version of the SSR Plan should be more streamlined, less redundant and describe clearly areas of ICANN activity vs ICANN awareness and observation. > > The updated version of the FY 12 SSR Framework is being provided in a more streamlined in a Powerpoint/PDF format. While this document is separate from the overall budget, it is intended to provide the community with a clear understanding of ICANN’s role in SSR, priorities in FY 12, and an overview of emerging threats and risks (even if these are areas where ICANN is merely an observer). It is also the intention that this document is aligned within the timing for delivery of the FY 12 ICANN Operating Plan and Budget for publication prior to the ICANN Singapore meeting. There will be a public comment period open on the new SSR Framework through the entire month of May. > > I would be happy to provide a briefing for individual stakeholder groups/constituencies if they would find this useful. > > Best regards, > > Patrick > > > -- > Patrick L.

Fwd: gNSO - AoC WHOIS Review Team - Request for meeting
by Stéphane Van Gelder 25 Apr '11

25 Apr '11

Councillors, FYI. I have responded to Emily to let her know that we would be happy to meet with the Whois RT and asked Mary and Glen, who are in charge of building our agenda for Singapore, to plan for this session. Thanks, Stéphane Début du message réexpédié : > De : Emily Taylor <emily.taylor(a)etlaw.co.uk> > Date : 25 avril 2011 14:11:28 HAEC > À : stephane.vangelder(a)indom.com > Cc : Mary.Wong(a)law.unh.edu, Jeff.Neuman(a)neustar.us, Alice Jansen <alice.jansen(a)icann.org>, Olof Nordling <olof.nordling(a)icann.org>, Kathy Kleiman <kKleiman(a)pir.org> > Objet : gNSO - AoC WHOIS Review Team - Request for meeting > > Hi Stephane, > > I am writing in my capacity as Chair of the WHOIS Review Team (mandated under the Affirmation of Commitments) to request up to one hour of agenda time during your gNSO Council meeting on Sunday 26 June, or at any other mutually convenient time during the Singapore ICANN meeting. > > As you may know, the WHOIS Policy Review Team's membership is drawn from across the ICANN constituencies, SOs and ACs. We began our work in October 2010, and aim to conclude by the end of 2011. The scope of work and roadmap of the WHOIS RT as well as its activities may be found on the community wiki at https://community.icann.org/display/whoisreview/WHOIS+Policy+Review+Team. We have recently concluded our first public comment period on our early definitional work, and proposed approach, and are nearing the end of our information gathering phase. > > The WHOIS Review Team will hold a third public face-to-face meeting in Singapore on Sunday, 19 June and invite the ICANN community to interact with them on Wednesday, 22 June. > > In addition to this schedule, the RT Members unanimously expressed the wish to meet with the gNSO. Unfortunately, due to schedule conflicts, it was not possible for us to schedule time together during the San Francisco ICANN, but of course, given the gNSO's leading role in WHOIS policy debate over the years, we believe it is essential for the WHOIS Review Team members to understand your members' experiences, perspectives and views on both the policy and implementation of WHOIS. As your feedback and comments are key to the success of our project, it would be a great honour if the WHOIS Policy Review Team could please join your session or schedule a meeting with you to exchange views. Please advise whether you would be willing to dedicate an agenda item to the WHOIS Policy RT. > > Many thanks in advance, > > Very best regards > > > Emily Taylor > Chair > WHOIS Review Team > > 76 Temple Road, Oxford OX4 2EZ UK > telephone: 01865 582 811 mobile: 07540 049 322 > emily.taylor(a)etlaw.co.uk www.etlaw.co.uk > >
