März 2012 13:45 An: Knoben, Wolf-Ulrich Cc: Glen de Saint Géry Betreff: Re: AW: AW: WG: GNSO Council & Board Dear Wolf-Ulrich, I have the following interest from the Board for their meeting with the GNSO Council - "What will be in your view the medium-term impact of the new gTLD program on the structure of ICANN in general, and challenges it brings to the gNSO, its constituencies and policy development process. What are the potential issues and how to anticipate them?" this I s a question they would like to have all parts of the community starting to consider. Another question is: o What is the view on the need for stronger protections against defensive registrations at the second level, and a shift to WHOIS data authentication at time of sdata submission? Thank you.

Opportunities to discuss RAA
by Bruce Tonkin March 10, 2012

March 10, 2012

Hello All, Just some comments on forums in the schedule this week and the opportunities to ask questions. (1) There is a public session on the RAA and WHOIS on Monday at 1pm: http://costarica43.icann.org/node/29531 As the staff said today - if you have questions on the process -e.g what has happened to some of the GNSO requests, what happens after the ICANN staff and registrars complete their discussions? - please provide them to staff so they can include that in their presentation on Monday. Staff are in the room at the moment and are also listening. Further questions could be raised in that public session for staff to follow up. (2) There is an opportunity for the constituencies to discuss the session on Tuesday in their meetings, and provide feedback to the staff and the Board - and raise further questions during meetings between constituencies/stakeholder groups and the Board. (3) The Council is meeting on 2pm on Wednesday: http://costarica43.icann.org/node/29653 You would have the option to agree through the chair to request staff be available to help respond to questions raised by the Council on this topic during the week. The staff would prefer questions in advance so they can properly prepare answers. (4) There would also be an opportunity at the end of the public forum on Thursday from 2pm onwards to raise further questions: http://costarica43.icann.org/node/29713 Note I am note speaking here on behalf of registrars, although I am employed by a registrar. This is just to point out the opportunities that I am aware of in the schedule this week to raise issues with staff and/or the Board, and ensure you get the answers that you seek. Regards, Bruce Tonkin

I have transmitted this to the working group's mailing list and their chair, Jeff Neuman. Kind regards, Glen Glen de Saint Géry GNSO Secretariat gnso.secretariat(a)gnso.icann.org<mailto:gnso.secretariat@gnso.icann.org> http://gnso.icann.org De : Nicola.BONUCCI(a)oecd.org<mailto:Nicola.BONUCCI@oecd.org> [mailto:Nicola.BONUCCI@oecd.org] Envoyé : samedi 10 mars 2012 19:06 À : Glen de Saint Géry Cc : Alexandra.EXCOFFIER-NOSOV(a)oecd.org<mailto:Alexandra.EXCOFFIER-NOSOV@oecd.org>; Jill.SCHUKER(a)oecd.org<mailto:Jill.SCHUKER@oecd.org>; Sam.PALTRIDGE(a)oecd.org<mailto:Sam.PALTRIDGE@oecd.org> Objet : Session on IOC/RC Importance : Haute Dear Glen, I just heard part of the session on IOC/RC that you were chairing. Let me first congratulate the GNSO Working Group for its transparency in putting this session live.....I have to say however that ,as an international lawyer working in public international law for 25 years, I heard several statements that would cause any public international lawyer to jump on his/her seat such as "The IGO's do not meet the same "criteria" than IOC/RC based on international law" (sic...) Such statements do not stand scrutiny. First, it should be noted that in public international law only states and intergovernmental international organizations are considered subjects of international law. This is clearly recognized by the 1986 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties between States and International Organizations and between International organizations (see http://untreaty.un.org/ilc/texts/instruments/english/conventions/1_2_1986.p…) which indicates that only "intergovernmental organizations" can conclude treaties. With all due respect for the two institutions in question they do not meet the 1986 Convention criteria . Second, if you look at the treaty protection offered by public international law to the names and acronyms of IGO's it is difficult to argue that it is not at least comparable if not stronger than the one offered to the two institutions in question. I understand that GNSO and ICANN in general is concerned with precedent but I cannot but restate what the IGO already wrote in December 2011. We continue to stand ready to find a solution within the ICANN framework which we fully respect but we are not ready to give up what we consider to be a legitimate and reasonable request . While I am not in Costa Rica I am ready to join any discussion via internet or on the phone (you had suggested a further GNSO working group discussion tomorrow at 12h00) and as you may know the OECD is represented in San José by Sam Paltridge whom you can get in touch with too.

We would like the next survey effort to incorporate feedback and advice from your communities so that we can expand participation in future surveys, focus questions on the areas that need attention and address productive and meaningful changes in areas where it is warranted. > > Thank you for your support of this effort. See you shortly in San Jose. > > Best regards, > > Kurt Pritz >
