FW: [Soac-infoalert] Enhancing ICANN Accountability and Governance - Process and Next Steps - ICANN
by Jonathan Robinson Aug. 15, 2014

From: soac-infoalert-bounces(a)icann.org [mailto:soac-infoalert-bounces@icann.org] On Behalf Of David Olive Sent: 15 August 2014 05:33 To: soac-infoalert(a)icann.org Subject: [Soac-infoalert] Enhancing ICANN Accountability and Governance - Process and Next Steps - ICANN https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2014-08-14-en Enhancing ICANN Accountability and Governance - Process and Next Steps ICANN today published Enhancing ICANN Accountability and Governance - Process and Next Steps <https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/process-next-steps-2014-08-14-en> , a document that describes the process to examine how, from an organizational perspective, ICANN's accountability mechanisms should be strengthened to address the absence of its historical relationship with the US Government including looking at strengthening existing accountability mechanisms. On 14 March 2014, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) announced its intention to transition its stewardship of the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority to the global stakeholder community, which would end its contractual relationship with ICANN that has existed since 1998. That historical relationship has been perceived as a backstop with regard to ICANN's organization-wide accountability. Last spring, when the community began its initial discussions on the task of transitioning NTIA's stewardship of the IANA Functions, the community raised the broader topic of the impact of the change on ICANN's accountability. What emerged was a commitment to launch a second process - parallel but interrelated with the IANA stewardship transition process - to do this work. During an extended public comment period from the beginning of May to the end of June, we received 49 comments, with a majority discussing the more substantive aspects of accountability, while some focused on the design of the review process itself. We took those comments relating to the development of the process, along with those from the community dialogues at the ICANN 50 meeting in London, and developed the accountability review process published today. The comments provided on issues for consideration for enhancements to ICANN accountability, or proposed solutions, are provided in a separate document for consideration by the community groups performing the work on Enhancing ICANN accountability. An important attribute of the IANA Stewardship Transition process and this ICANN Accountability & Governance Review process is that the work of each completes in time to meet the expectations of the IANA Functions Contract ending in September 2015.

FW: Protection IGO/INGO Identifiers in All gTLDS
by Jonathan Robinson Aug. 8, 2014

All, Please see below and attached for briefing note and request for questions. Jonathan From: Jonathan Robinson [mailto:jonathan.robinson@ipracon.com] Sent: 08 August 2014 23:03 To: 'Cherine Chalaby' Dear Cherine, Thank-you for this follow-up. We have worked, together with ICANN Staff, to provide the briefing note requested. I am pleased to provide it as an attachment to this email. I do think it will be very helpful for the Council to obtain greater clarity on the expectations with respect to the IGO-INGO identifiers and will attempt to provide specific questions. We should consider two possible options; (a) a written briefing ahead of the forthcoming Council meeting on September 4th at 15h00 UTC OR (b) an oral briefing and question and answer session at that same meeting. We will discuss the options within the Council and revert to you with any specific questions as well as a specific request for (a) OR (b) above as soon as possible. Best wishes, Jonathan Jonathan Robinson Chair ICANN GNSO Council From: Cherine Chalaby [mailto:cherine.chalaby@icann.org] Sent: 24 July 2014 13:18 To: Jonathan Robinson Cc: ceo(a)auda.org.au; Akram Atallah; Christine Willett; Jamie Hedlund; Megan Bishop; Michelle Bright; Karine Perset Subject: Protection IGO/INGO Identifiers in All gTLDS Dear Jonathan, On behalf of the ICANN Board New gTLD Program Committee (NGPC), I write to follow up on our letter of 16 June 2014 regarding Protection of IGO/INGO Identifiers in All gTLDs and the advice from the GAC in its Buenos Aires Communiqué addressing the same topic. We understand that the GNSO has initiated a PDP on Curative Rights Protections for IGO/INGOs. This PDP is closely related to the issue of IGO/INGO Identifiers and will have an impact on how the NGPC ultimately addresses the GACs advice. We would be grateful for a briefing by the GNSO on the progress of this PDP, including current status and projected timeline for completion. Finally, to the extent that it would be helpful, the NGPC would be pleased to provide a briefing (oral or written) to provide greater clarity on the GACs advice and expectations with respect to protections of IGO-INGO Identifiers. If you have any specific questions, please send those as well as they could help focus the briefing. We appreciate the GNSOs hard work in developing policy recommendations and look forward to our continued discussions as we work together on this matter. In the meantime, we note that the temporary protections afforded to IGO acronyms remain in place while we continue our discussions. Best regards, Cherine Chalaby Chair, New gTLD Program Committee
