Call for volunteers:Working Group to develop policy recommendations on issues relating to the accreditation of privacy and proxy service providers for domain name registrations.
by Glen de Saint Géry Nov. 6, 2013

Nov. 6, 2013

Dear Councillors, Please find the Call for volunteers for the RAA Privacy & Proxy Services Accreditation Issues PDP Working Group which is an action item arising from the GNSO Council meeting on 31 October 2013. (Item 7: MOTION - A charter for the Privacy & Proxy Services Accreditation PDP WG.) A reminder that Maria Farrell volunteered as the GNSO Council liaison to the RAA Privacy & Proxy Services Accreditation Issues PDP Working Group (WG). In Brief The Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council seeks volunteers to serve on a Working Group to develop policy recommendations on issues relating to the accreditation of privacy and proxy service providers for domain name registrations. What This Team Will Do The Working Group (WG) is tasked to provide the GNSO Council with a set of recommendations regarding issues identified during the recently-concluded negotiations for the new 2013 Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA), including recommendations made by law enforcement and GNSO working groups, that were not addressed during the negotiations and otherwise suited for a Policy Development Process (PDP); specifically, issues relating to the accreditation of privacy & proxy services. Specific issues to be discussed by the WG are detailed in the WG's charter: http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/raa-pp-charter-22oct13-en.pdf How This Team Will Work ICANN Working Groups use transparent, open processes. The meetings of this WG will be recorded, and the recordings will be available to the public. The mailing list for the WG will be archived publicly. WG members are expected to submit Statements of Interest (SOI<https://community.icann.org/display/gnsosoi/New+SOIs>). The group will collaborate using a public workspace. The WG is expected to follow the GNSO Working Group Guidelines<http://gnso.icann.org/council/annex-1-gnso-wg-guidelines-08apr11-en.pdf>. How to Join The GNSO Council invites interested parties to join the WG, which will be open to anyone interested to join. Community members who wish to be invited to join the group should contact the GNSO secretariat<mailto:gnso.secretariat@icann.org?subject=Application%20to%20Join%20Uniformity%20of%20Reporting%20Drafting%20Team> (gnso.secretariat(a)icann.org<mailto:gnso.secretariat@icann.org>). Background In October 2011, the ICANN Board initiated negotiations with the Registrars Stakeholder Group for a new form of RAA, and simultaneously requested an Issue Report from the GNSO on issues not covered by the negotiations and otherwise suited for a PDP. The Final Issue Report was published in March 2012, and recommended that the GNSO commence its PDP as soon as possible after receiving a report that the negotiations were concluded. In June 2013, the ICANN Board formally approved the new 2013 RAA. In September 2013, ICANN staff published a paper for the GNSO reporting on the conclusion of the RAA negotiations and highlighting that of all the high and medium priority topics for the negotiations previously identified by the GNSO and the law enforcement community, only two were not fully addressed in the negotiations, viz. clarification of certain registrar responsibilities in relation to proceedings under the Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP), and issues relating to privacy and proxy services, including their accreditation and Relay/Reveal procedures. The UDRP questions have, however, been dealt with in a separate PDP that concluded with the publication of a Final Report in June 2013 and its adoption by the GNSO Council in August 2013. Following a number of discussions on the topic, the GNSO Council formally approved the charter for this RAA Privacy & Proxy Services Accreditation Issues WG at its meeting on 31 October 2013. As ICANN has already committed itself to establishing an accreditation program for privacy and proxy service providers, the recommendations from this WG are expected to inform the development of such a program. In addition, there continues to be ongoing work on various aspects of the Whois gTLD registration data directory service, including the creation of an Expert Working Group (EWG) in December 2012 that is expected to assist ICANN in redefining the purpose and provision of gTLD registration data directory services. The EWG published its Initial Report in June 2013 and is currently working on its Final Report. In addition, the GNSO had previously commissioned a study on Whois Privacy & Proxy Abuse. The results of the study, performed by the National Physical Laboratory in the United Kingdom, were published for public comment in September 2013. It is expected that the study will be relevant to the deliberations of this WG. This WG is an opportunity for the GNSO and other interested community members to help develop specific recommendations that will assist ICANN in developing a privacy and proxy accreditation program in relation to gTLD registration data directory services. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you very much? 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

GNSO Council 31 October 2013 - Resolutions adopted
by Glen de Saint Géry Nov. 4, 2013

Nov. 4, 2013

Dear Councillors, Ahead of the official minutes, the following resolutions were adopted at the GNSO Council meeting on 31 October 2013. 1. Thick Whois Policy Development Process Final Report and Recommendations<http://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/whois/thick-final-21oct13-en.pdf> WHEREAS 1. On 14 March 2012, the GNSO Council launched a Policy Development Process (PDP) on Thick Whois to make recommendations to the GNSO Council regarding the use of thick Whois by all gTLD registries, both existing and future. 2. This PDP has followed the prescribed PDP steps as stated in the Bylaws, resulting in a Final Report delivered on 21 October 2013; 3. The Thick Whois PDP WG has reached full consensus on the recommendations contained in the report in relation to Thick Whois; 4. The GNSO Council has reviewed and discussed these recommendations. Now therefore be it resolved, 1. The GNSO Council recommends to the ICANN Board of Directors the adoption of Thick Whois recommendations as detailed in section 7.1 of the Final Report http://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/whois/thick-final-21oct13-en.pdf 2. The GNSO Council shall convene a Thick Whois Implementation Review Team to assist ICANN Staff in developing the implementation details for the new policy should it be approved by the ICANN Board. The Implementation Review Team will be tasked with evaluating the proposed implementation of the policy recommendations as approved by the Board and is expected to work with ICANN Staff to ensure that the resultant implementation fulfills the intentions of the approved policy recommendations. If the Implementation Review Team identifies any potential modifications to the policy recommendations or need for new policy recommendations, the Implementation Review Team shall refer these to the GNSO Council for its consideration and follow-up, as appropriate. Following adoption by the ICANN Board of the recommendations, the GNSO Secretariat is authorized to issue a call for volunteers for a Thick Whois Implementation Review Team to the members of the Thick Whois Working Group. 2. Revised Charter for the Standing Committee on GNSO Improvements Implementation WHEREAS 1. On 28 April 2011 the GNSO Council approved the charter for the Standing Committee on GNSO Improvements Implementation (SCI); 2. In 2013 the SCI determined that the Charter as originally approved no longer reflected the current role of the SCI as a standing committee, and furthermore did not contain procedures for selecting the Chair and Vice-Chair of the SCI; 3. The SCI requested guidance from the GNSO Council as to how to proceed with revisions to the Charter that would address its concerns; 4. At its meeting on 05 September 2013 the GNSO Council endorsed the SCI as a standing committee and further requested that the SCI proceed to revise the Charter as it may deem necessary, with the exception of the section on Decision Making; 5. The SCI has since revised the Charter to reflect its role as a standing committee and to include procedures to select the Chair and Vice Chair; and The GNSO Council has reviewed the revised Charter submitted by the SCI. RESOLVED, 1. The GNSO Council thanks the SCI for its work to date; and 2. The GSNO Council approves the revised SCI Charter at [INSERT LINK] which will replace the previous charter effective immediately upon adoption of this motion 3. The GNSO Council appoints [confirm name] as the GNSO Council Liaison to the Standing Committee on GNSO Improvements Implementation. 3. Charter for a Policy Development Process (PDP) Working Group for the 2013 Registrar Accreditation Agreement Privacy & Proxy Services Accreditation Issues PDP WHEREAS 1. When initiating negotiations for the RAA in October 2011 the ICANN Board requested an Issue Report to undertake a GNSO policy development process (PDP) to address remaining items suited for a PDP; 2. In June 2013 the ICANN Board of Directors approved the new 2013 Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA); 3. In September 2013 ICANN staff published a paper confirming the Board's approval of the RAA and identifying the remaining high and medium priority issues for the GNSO PDP in light of the RAA negotiations and prior GNSO and other related community efforts as those issues concerning the accreditation of privacy and proxy services; 4. The GNSO Council has reviewed the issues raised in the ICANN staff paper as well as a draft Working Group Charter incorporating those issues and others identified by the GNSO community as suitable for further consideration by the PDP Working Group http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/raa-pp-charter-22oct13-en.pdf RESOLVED, 1. The GNSO Council approves the Charter and appoints Maria Farrell as the GNSO Council liaison to the RAA Privacy & Proxy Services Accreditation Issues PDP Working Group (WG); 2. The GNSO Council directs ICANN staff to issue a call for volunteers for the PDP WG no later than seven days after the approval of this motion; and 3.Until such time as the WG selects a chair for the WG and that chair is confirmed by the GNSO Council, the GNSO Council liaison to the WG shall serve as the interim chair. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you.

A basis for collaboration: Letter of the ccNSO Strategic and Operational Planning Working Group (SOPWG)
by john＠crediblecontext.com Nov. 4, 2013

Nov. 4, 2013

All, I want to make sure you see the letter sent by the ccNSO Strategic and Operational Planning Working Group to the CEO and Board Chair with regard to ICANN's strategic planning and budgeting efforts. Each of us has expressed some frustration and the BC has specifically gone on record with criticism. It may be the basis for fresh collaboration between our two Councils. In this letter (it is short and to the point), working group chair Roelof Meijer makes this central point: "The variability and lack of predictability in the planning process makes effective planning nearly impossible." As we think through our agenda in Buenos Aires, we may want to give this more time. Cheers, Berard

Proposed Bylaws Changes Regarding the Technical Liaison Group
by Glen de Saint Géry Nov. 1, 2013

Nov. 1, 2013

https://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/bylaws-amend-tlg-30oct13-en.htm Proposed Bylaws Changes Regarding the Technical Liaison Group Comment / Reply Periods (*) Comment Open Date: 30 October 2013 Comment Close Date: 29 November 2013 - 23:59 UTC Reply Open Date: 30 November 2013 Reply Close Date: 20 December 2013 - 23:59 UTC Important Information Links Public Comment Announcement<https://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-30oct13-en.htm> To Submit Your Comments (Forum)<mailto:comments-bylaws-amend-tlg-30oct13@icann.org> View Comments Submitted<http://forum.icann.org/lists/comments-bylaws-amend-tlg-30oct13/> Brief Overview Originating Organization: ICANN Board Categories/Tags: * ICANN Board/Bylaws Purpose (Brief): Bylaws changes are proposed in order to increase availability of technical advice to the Board as well as the effectiveness of the Technical Liaison Group as set forth in the Bylaws. Current Status: For community consideration Next Steps: The Board will consider the community input and determine whether to approve the Bylaws amendments. Staff Contact: Samantha Eisner, Senior Counsel Email Staff Contact<mailto:samantha.eisner@icann.org?subject=More%20information%20on%20the%20Proposed%20Bylaws%20Changes%20Regarding%20the%20Technical%20Liaison%20Group%20public%20comment%20period> Detailed Information Section I: Description, Explanation, and Purpose: The ICANN Board has recently been reviewing the fundamental question of how it can obtain the advice that it needs. Advice on technical matters is one of those key areas where the existing advisory mechanism, the Technical Liaison Group (or TLG) is not meeting the Board's needs or the mission as stated in the Bylaws. One of the key functions that the TLG is supposed to serve is to form a panel of experts to which ICANN can direct technical questions. To date this expert panel has not yet been formed. The TLG is comprised of four organizations (the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), the International Telecommunications Union's Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T), the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), and the Internet Architecture Board (IAB)) and has primarily focused its efforts on the annual appointment of a liaison to the ICANN Board and a voting member to ICANN's Nominating Committee. The need for the operation of the TLG to change has been an ongoing conversation within ICANN, as noted in the review of the TLG that was recently completed. The proposed Bylaws posted for comment are anticipated to help streamline the efforts of the component entities of the TLG in providing the ICANN Board with technical advice. Instead of focusing their efforts on the appointment of a Board liaison or a Nominating Committee member, the primary task remaining with the TLG entities will be focus on the appointment of the expert panel that the Board can call upon for advice. The liaison role does not offer this more global access to expertise, as the TLG liaison role rotates on an annual basis, and no one liaison is able to deliver a coordinated position representing all of the TLG entities. The existence of the expert group will allow the Board to seek coordinated input, if needed, from all four component entities at the same time. The Bylaws changes do not represent any change to the role of the TLG, which is to "channel technical information and guidance to the Board and other ICANN entities." Nor is there any change to four entities that make up the TLG. This proposed change is directed only towards simplifying how the TLG operates and delivers technical advice to the Board. Section II: Background: The Technical Liaison Group is one of the advisory mechanisms set out in the ICANN Bylaws. It is comprised of four organizations (the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), the International Telecommunications Union's Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T), the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), and the Internet Architecture Board (IAB)). Today, three of those organizations (ETSI, ITU-T and W3C) appoint a liaison to the ICANN Board on a rotating basis. In 2010, ICANN, through the Structural Improvements Committee, commissioned an organizational review of the TLG (available at http://www.icann.org/en/groups/reviews/tlg<https://www.icann.org/en/groups/reviews/tlg>), which resulted in recommendations to change the structure of the TLG. Section III: Document and Resource Links: Proposed Bylaws Amendments<https://www.icann.org/en/about/governance/bylaws/proposed-revisions-tlg-30o…> [PDF, 69 KB] Section IV: Additional Information: None ________________________________ (*) Comments submitted after the posted Close Date/Time are not guaranteed to be considered in any final summary, analysis, reporting, or decision-making that takes place once this period lapses.
