Neustar's summary of trademark clearinghouse meeting
by Neuman, Jeff 29 Aug '12

29 Aug '12

All, I thought you might be interested in my summary of the Trademark Clearinghouse meeting that was held in Brussels last week. It is just an FYI, but I wanted to disseminate the information as much as I could because there is still a good deal of work to do and we will need everyone paying attention or else risk further delay in the implementation of new TLDs. See http://www.dotyou.biz/summary-of-tmch-meeting/. I have also attached this as a pdf. Jeffrey J. Neuman Neustar, Inc. / Vice President, Business Affairs 46000 Center Oak Plaza, Sterling, VA 20166 Office: +1.571.434.5772 Mobile: +1.202.549.5079 Fax: +1.703.738.7965 / jeff.neuman(a)neustar.biz<mailto:jeff.neuman@neustar.biz> / www.neustar.biz<http://www.neustar.biz/>

Fwd: Draft Letter for Review re: IRD-WG Final Report Delivery to Board
by Stéphane Van Gelder 28 Aug '12

28 Aug '12

Councillors, Please see below the correspondence from Patrik Fälström, SSAC Chair. You will remember that we discussed the IRD-WG FR at our last meeting and it was decided that we should draft a letter to send the Board "requesting the implementation plan time-lines and clarifying that any policy implications in implementing the recommendations will have to be considered by the GNSO Council". Ching volunteered to draft the letter and we were looking to approve it at our next meeting, which is scheduled for Sept 13. The SSAC proposed letter obviously overlaps with this, but from what I can see introduces no new elements apart from actually spelling out the IRD recommendations for the Board. I would therefore suggest that we may wish to sign on to the proposed SSAC letter, whilst also sending our own letter as planned. Ching and others, please provide feedback on this suggestion and make any comments you feel are relevant to this and the SSAC letter. I will, as planned, add the approval of Ching's letter to the Sept 13 consent agenda. I will also add an agenda item on the proposed SSAC IRD-WG letter.

new gTLD update
by Bruce Tonkin 28 Aug '12

28 Aug '12

http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/announcements-and-media/announcement-27aug12-en New gTLD Update for Applicants (27 August 2012) We have additional updates for applicants this week: Applicant Update Webinar The next Applicant Update Webinar is scheduled for Thursday, 6 September at 12:00 UTC. Topics will include status on Initial Evaluation, an update on batching/metering options, information on application comments, and new gTLD sessions we are planning for Toronto among other things. If you are unable to join us for the live webinar, it will be recorded and posted to the webinar page (http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/announcements-and-media/webinars) on the new gTLD microsite. The webinar is open to everyone but directed toward applicants in particular. Clarification Questions Pilot The Clarification Questions Pilot is scheduled to kick off this week. Notices have gone out to the 50 applications selected and participation is optional. Preliminary evaluation results show that a large number of applications require clarification. The purpose of the pilot is to ensure that the questions evaluators ask are clear and applicants understand what information they are being asked to provide. See attached [PDF, 80 KB]. Change Requests We are finalizing the process to post application change requests. A set of seven criteria have been created to evaluate each request and, if approved, the change will be reflected on the posting page of the microsite http://gtldresult.icann.org/application-result/applicationstatus ). New gTLD Microsite The new gTLD microsite is getting a facelift. We are working to refresh the microsite, making it a bit easier for you to find what you need. A new feature we will add is an Applicants Corner. This is a place where applicants can go to get important advisories as well as to check the status of various parts of the program still under development. Keep an eye out for the microsite's new look!

Re: [ICANN Academy WG] Draft outline for a Pilot Leadership Training Programme in Toronto
by Stéphane Van Gelder 26 Aug '12

26 Aug '12

Filiz, Thanks for your email. For the sake of full transparency, I am including both the academy WG list and the GNSO Council list in my response. I want to express surprise at this email. Over the last few days, since the draft program was sent to the academy group, there has been great discussion within this group and many, included myself, have sent in questions about the program as proposed or pointed out possible issues with the current draft. The position the Council has asked me to carry to the academy WG is one of support for this proposed program. Also I fully understand that you need to start planning for this session if it is going to happen in Toronto. However, I am worried that your email, being as it is sent to community chairs that may be unaware of the current discussions within the academy WG, risks settings expectations that will not be met. I would urge that you give the WG a little more opportunity to move ahead in answering some of the questions that have been raised or, if your organizational requirements for Toronto do not allow that, at least provide a more detailed snapshot of where the WG is currently at before calling participation from chairs without putting that call in its full and proper context.

Current Status: Open for public comment Next Steps: Comments will be collected and incorporated into a briefing paper for the ICANN board. Staff Contact: Kurt Pritz Email: kurt.pritz(a)icann.org<mailto:kurt.pritz@icann.org?subject=More%20information%20on%20the%20SSAC%20Report%20on%20Dotless%20Domains%20public%20comment%20period> Detailed Information Section I: Description, Explanation, and Purpose Dotless domains are domains that consist of a single label (e.g. http://example<http://example/> as opposed to example.tld or mail@example as opposed to mail(a)example.tld<mailto:mail@example.tld>) and there is an A/AAAA or MX records in the APEX of a TLD zone. On 23 February 2012, the ICANN Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC) published SAC 053: SSAC Report on Dotless Domains<https://www.icann.org/en/groups/ssac/documents/sac-053-en.pdf> [PDF, 183 KB]. In this report, the SSAC stated that dotless domains would not be universally reachable and the SSAC recommended strongly against their use. As a result, the SSAC recommended that the use of DNS resource records such as A, AAAA, and MX in the apex of a Top-Level Domain (TLD) should be contractually prohibited where appropriate, and strongly discouraged in all cases. On 23 June 2012, the ICANN Board adopted a resolution<https://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/resolutions-23jun12-en.htm#…> tasking ICANN to consult with the relevant communities regarding implementation of the recommendations in SAC053. Section 2.2.3.3 of the Applicant Guidebook essentially prohibits the use of dotless domains, stating that the only permissible DNS Resource Records for the apex in a TLD zone (i.e., the TLD-string itself) are: SOA, NS, and related DNSSEC records. The same section also states, "An applicant wishing to place any other record types into its TLD zone should describe in detail its proposal in the registry services section of the application. This will be evaluated and could result in an extended evaluation to determine whether the service would create a risk of a meaningful adverse impact on security or stability of the DNS." One option under consideration to implement the SSAC's recommendation could be to amend the base new gTLD agreement to prohibit A, AAAA and MX records in the apex of the TLD. Do you have any input for ICANN to consider in relation to ICANN's implementation of SAC 053: SSAC Report on Dotless Domains<https://www.icann.org/en/groups/ssac/documents/sac-053-en.pdf> [PDF, 183 KB]? Section II: Background On 23 February 2012, the ICANN Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC) published SAC 053: SSAC Report on Dotless Domains<https://www.icann.org/en/groups/ssac/documents/sac-053-en.pdf> [PDF, 183 KB].

IDN Variant TLD Program Update
by Glen de Saint Géry 25 Aug '12

25 Aug '12

https://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-23aug12-en.htm IDN Variant TLD Program Update 23 August 2012 The IDN Variant TLD Program has the following two updates: 1. Volunteer Team formed to assist the development of the Label Generation Ruleset Process for the Domain Name System (DNS) Root Zone ICANN is pleased to announce the formation of a global volunteer team, comprised of community experts, who will work with ICANN on the project to define the Label Generation Ruleset Process for the DNS root zone. This project is part of the IDN Variant TLD Program (see below) that is intended to lead to the delegation of IDN Variant TLDs. Delegation of these types of IDN TLDs is expected to broaden global participation in the domain name system, but must be accomplished in a way that ensures good user experience. This particular project will develop the process to define allowed code points, corresponding exchangeable variant code points, and related allowed states for IDN Variant TLDs. The project requires significant technical expertise and the individual members of the volunteer team (listed below) possess capabilities in IDNA, Domain Name System, Linguistics, Unicode and Policy Development. The volunteer team will undertake the work through periodic teleconference calls and two face-to-face meetings. The first meeting will be on 29-30 August 2012 in Los Angeles, United States. The second two-day working session is planned during the ICANN meeting in Toronto, Canada. There will be an open public session in the Toronto meeting at which ICANN staff and volunteer team representatives will present an update on the progress and answer questions. The volunteer team is comprised of the following members from 18 countries and territories: Fahd A. Batayneh Chris Dillon Neha Gupta Sarmad Hussain Akshat Joshi Daniel Kalchev Yoav Keren Dmitry Kohmanyuk Mahesh Kulkarni Nadya Morozova Panagiotis Papaspiliopoulos Alireza Saleh Vaggelis Segredakis James Seng Vladimir Shadrunov Syed Iftikhar H. Shah Will Shorter Alexei Sozonov Mirjana Tasic Joseph Yee Yoshiro Yoneya Zhoucai (Joe) Zhang Linlin Zhou Team Observers: Rinalia Abdul Rahim Edmon Chung Raymond Doctor 2. Updated IDN Variant TLD Program posted ICANN has updated the IDN Variant TLD Program Plan<https://www.icann.org/en/resources/idn/idn-variant-tld-updated-plan-23aug12…> [PDF, 576 KB] that describes the projects that are intended to lead to the delegation of IDN variant TLDs. The plan defines the processes that must be in place to enable the delegation and management of IDN Variant TLDs. Two previous versions of the plan have been posted for public comment<https://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/idn-variant-tld-revised-progra…> and discussed with the community during the ICANN meeting in Costa Rica in March 2012. This latest version reflects the latest public input. The Program follows on from the IDN Variant Issues Project that completed its work with the publication of the final Integrated Issues Report<https://www.icann.org/en/resources/idn/idn-vip-integrated-issues-final-clea…> [PDF, 2.15 MB] on 20 February 2012. Interested members of the community can receive updates and participate in the discussion of the variant work by subscribing to the vip(a)icann.org<mailto:vip@icann.org> mailing list (https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/vip) or by visiting the Community Wiki at: https://community.icann.org/display/VIP/ Glen de Saint Géry GNSO Secretariat gnso.secretariat(a)gnso.icann.org http://gnso.icann.org

Dear Filiz: A question: when you said in your previous email "The current draft under discussion were pointing to participation of the chairs and thus possibility of certain travel arrangements for them ", are you saying that chairs will be the instructors or teachers on the pilot program? If the response is yes: Are you sure that they are the best for this job? In my humble understanding, they can be an excellent chairs, but this not means they will be the best teachers neither guarantee the sucess of this pilot proyect.

Based on the FY13 Operating Plan and Budget and the results of this working group so far, we present you herewith a draft programme inviting you to comment. While drafting this outline we already discussed various options, how to optimise it and what should be the focus. We expect that some of these options will be raised in this mailing list and we are happy to answer any questions and remain open for ideas, as long as they fit in the given framework. In the FY13 Operating Plan and Budget document it is stated: <<<"The ICANN-Academy concept is still being developed and reviewed within the SO-AC groups and further consensus is ongoing though a process led by ALAC / At-Large. While this process is ongoing, in early anticipation of the direction of the effort, a staff pilot project will be focused on the executive training of new SO-AC leaders on ICANN organisations, policymaking and related activities. The pilot would include usage of online tools where possible and an orientation session in Toronto.

Based on the FY13 Operating Plan and Budget and the results of this working group so far, we present you herewith a draft programme inviting you to comment. > > While drafting this outline we already discussed various options, how to optimise it and what should be the focus. We expect that some of these options will be raised in this mailing list and we are happy to answer any questions and remain open for ideas, as long as they fit in the given framework. > > In the FY13 Operating Plan and Budget document it is stated: > > <<<"The ICANN-Academy concept is still being developed and reviewed within the SO-AC groups and further consensus is ongoing though a process led by ALAC / At-Large. While this process is ongoing, in early anticipation of the direction of the effort, a staff pilot project will be focused on the executive training of new SO-AC leaders on ICANN organisations, policymaking and related activities. The pilot would include usage of online tools where possible and an orientation session in Toronto. This pilot project should be seen as a first step in testing the overall concept and providing a basis for a future training program as well as experience to build on for future improvements if deemed necessary.
