FW: [gnso-secs] Call for volunteers: ccPDP4 on the (de)selection of IDN ccTLD strings
by Drazek, Keith 03 Aug '20

03 Aug '20

Hi all, The deadline for identifying GNSO representatives for the ccNSO’s policy development process on IDNs (ccPDP4) is this Friday, August 7. It will be important for the GNSO and ccNSO to understand our respective work in this area, so GNSO participation is encouraged. Please raise this with your SGs and Cs. Thanks, Keith From: Nathalie Peregrine <nathalie.peregrine(a)icann.org> Sent: Monday, August 3, 2020 1:24 PM To: Drazek, Keith <kdrazek(a)verisign.com> Subject: [EXTERNAL] FW: [gnso-secs] Call for volunteers: ccPDP4 on the (de)selection of IDN ccTLD strings From: Gnso-secs <gnso-secs-bounces(a)icann.org<mailto:gnso-secs-bounces@icann.org>> on behalf of Nathalie Peregrine <nathalie.peregrine(a)icann.org<mailto:nathalie.peregrine@icann.org>> Date: Friday, 17 July 2020 at 15:02 To: 'Bruna Martins dos Santos' <bruna.mrtns(a)gmail.com<mailto:bruna.mrtns@gmail.com>>, Joan Kerr <joankerr(a)fbsc.org<mailto:joankerr@fbsc.org>>, Stephanie Perrin <stephanie.perrin(a)mail.utoronto.ca<mailto:stephanie.perrin@mail.utoronto.ca>> Cc: "gnso-secs(a)icann.org<mailto:gnso-secs@icann.org>" <gnso-secs(a)icann.org<mailto:gnso-secs@icann.org>>, Maryam Bakoshi <maryam.bakoshi(a)icann.org<mailto:maryam.bakoshi@icann.org>> Subject: [gnso-secs] Call for volunteers: ccPDP4 on the (de)selection of IDN ccTLD strings Dear GNSO Chairs, All, The ccNSO seeks volunteers for the Working Group which is tasked to develop policy recommendations for the (de)selection of IDN ccTLD strings, as part of the fourth ccNSO Policy Development Process (ccPDP4). In time, the results of this ccPDP will replace the IDN ccTLD Fast Track Process, which currently guides the selection process of IDN ccTLD strings. This Working Group is open to participants from other ICANN stakeholder groups and the ccNSO welcomes GNSO representatives to join this important policy development effort. The call for volunteers will close Friday, 7 August 2020 (23:59 UTC), however participants can join after this date as well. The Group is expected to kick off its work at the start of September. Members, participants, and experts commit to participate actively and regularly in the work of the WG and are expected to have at least a basic understanding of the reference material (see attachment and included below). Those that apply also commit to the charter<https://secure-web.cisco.com/1s65TC2OFJzEjPSt7DE9koA7dOnsArkM0C_QlVwk9bGQ40…> of the WG, including but not limited to the internal decision making and standards of behavior. Should there be interested parties that intend to join as a participants - once your respective SO/AC has completed its internal appoint procedure - please inform the ccNSO Secretariat (ccnsosecretariat(a)icann.org<mailto:ccnsosecretariat@icann.org>) about the names and email addresses, to add them to the mailing list. Read more * Detailed background information about ccPDP4 is included below. * Recently, the ccNSO Secretariat held a webinar to inform the community about the topics to be addressed and the working methods of the ccPDP4 WG. Consult the recording and slide deck here<https://secure-web.cisco.com/1EwMoKrr2C6iYXsCAli8ynCXGv3N0ury3Bh75_gXPCudvk…>. * On 16 July, the ccNSO Secretariat shared a call for volunteers with the ccNSO membership and broader ccTLD community, targeted at ccTLD managers as potential members of the Working Group. Please find the call for volunteers here [ccnso.icann.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/ccnso.icann.org/en/announcements/announc…>. You may find the information regarding who can join, the workload and working method and the background and reference materials useful. * In attachment you will be able to find information regarding the call for volunteers, that can be shared with your respective SO/AC. Kindly ensure to adjust the “how to apply” section. About ccPDP4 In September 2013, the ccNSO submitted the IDN country code policy development process (ccPDP2) Board Report to the ICANN Board of Directors. The recommended policy ccPDP2 contains two parts: 1. High-level proposals for the criteria and requirements for the IDN ccTLD string selection and activities, roles, and responsibilities of the actors involved in the string selection and string evaluation processes and procedures. 2. Proposals to enable the inclusion of IDN ccTLDs in the ccNSO. By mutual understanding between the ccNSO and the ICANN Board, the Fast Track Process evolved, to test and gain more experience with the policy aspects pertaining to the introduction of IDN ccTLDs. The latest step in the evolution of the Fast Track Process was the introduction of the Risk Mitigation Panel and related process in case of confusing similarity of a requested IDNccTLD string in 2018. In March 2019 the ccNSO Council tasked a team (Preliminary Review Team or PRT) to review ccPDP2 in light of the impact of the following related processes on the recommended policies: * The evolved Fast Track Process, * The request of the ICANN Board of Directors with respect to IDN Variants and * Other relevant developments such as retirement of the (IDN) ccTLDs Based on its high-level analysis, the PRT identified various issues with the recommended policy for the selection of IDN ccTLD strings and advised Council to launch a ccNSO Policy Development Process (ccPDP4) to address these issues, including the de-selection of IDN ccTLD strings. In January 2020, the ccNSO Council requested an Issue Report. In May 2020, after the Issue Report was submitted to Council, including the opinion of ICANN’s General Counsel, the ccNSO Council initiated the ccNSO Policy Development Process 4 to develop policy for the (de-)selection of IDN ccTLD strings. In addition, it was proposed to conduct ccPDP4 by way of a chartered working group, according to the proposed timeline. The Issue report will be published for comments shortly. The public comments, if any, will be used to inform the discussions of the WG.

Final Report - Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data Expedited Policy Development Process Phase 2
by Rafik Dammak 01 Aug '20

01 Aug '20

Hi all, I am glad to submit for GNSO council consideration the final report for Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data Expedited Policy Development Process Phase 2. I would like to highlight that a request was made by several groups for late submission of minority statements, 24 August. Those minority statements will be attached to the report and a revised version published. We will introduce during GNSO council meeting the policy recommendations and different positions. I would like to thank again the EPDP team members, staff colleagues and former EPDP team chair Janis Karklins for the work done. Best, Rafik v --------- Forwarded message --------- From: Rafik Dammak <rafik.dammak(a)gmail.com> Date: Sat, Aug 1, 2020, 00:15 Subject: Final Report To: <gnso-epdp-team(a)icann.org> hi all, The deadline to review the revised consensus designation already passed and I don't see any strong objection in the list to what I shared initially or to the revised table I sent several hours ago. I want to emphasize that I did that assessment based on direct input from the groups and with my understanding of GNSO WG guidelines. I attached the final report which includes the consensus designation and all minority statements received till now. I will send in the coming hours the report to the council and I will add details in my communication about deadline extension for the minority statement as requested. For those who want to add their minority statements, the deadline is the 24th August and the report will be revised regularly to attach them and note sent to indicate the revision. I want to thank you all for the work done and deliberations in the 2 years between phase 1 and phase 2, during the too many and long conference calls or F2F meetings or small teams and legal committee (Berry got the correct numbers about the hours spent!). I would like to thank the support staff for their tireless help and work, making this process smooth as much as possible. I want also to thank Janis as he chaired most of the phase 2 and facilitated the process. I know that all of you made sacrifice in term of time and efforts and it is important to reach closure. The outcome of consensus oriented process is not always perfect but it has that important element that everyone participated in shaping it. Best regards, Rafik
