Dear Steve - 

I believe I forwarded such information about regulatory initiates, that I believe ICANN should look into, already - in case I forgot, apologies.  I will review my old list and will update it with new and relevant information. 

The most important initiatives for ICANN are the following in the European Union:
- Transposition of the European Union Copyright Directive into national laws. The European Union legislation will not be transposed into national laws identically. This may cause difficulties for some of ICANNs stakeholders.
- NEW - review of the eCommerce Directive. Danger is that the existing liability exemptions for Internet providers, operators, will fall. 
- New obligations to monitor and censor harmful content. Various initiatives currently under legal considerations, in particular in the UK, France and, to some degree, in the EU.

Kind regards, 
Erika

Dear Ayden, Darcy, Erika, Flip, Michele, Phillipe and Tatiana,

 

In reviewing the Council’s action items, we recognized that the item below is still outstanding:

 

Small group of Councilors to develop draft message to ICANN Org to provide input on legislative tracker. Based on feedback, Council leadership to consider scheduling follow up discussion at ICANN65. 

 

We wanted to bring this to your attention, as you all volunteered to work on this item. While the latter part of the action item (e.g., engaging at ICANN65) is likely impractical at this point, you may still want to draft a message to send to ICANN org. As Keith noted, please work together and let staff know if you need any assistance.

 

Best,

Steve

Subject: [council] ICANN's Legislative/Regulatory Tracker -- Recommended Improvements

 

Ayden, Darcy, Erika, Flip, Michele, Phillipe and Tatiana:

 

During our GNSO Working Session in Kobe, the seven of you volunteered to help develop GNSO Council recommendations for improvements to ICANN’s current Legislative/Regulatory tracking effort.

 

As we discussed, ICANN’s work in this area is relatively new and still evolving, and we have an opportunity to engage with Theresa’s group to help shape their approach to ensure it is applicable to our policy work and process management responsibilities. While their work product is currently a spreadsheet, I recall we agreed it needs to go much deeper in analysis and demonstrate a predictive capability for where future or existing regulations impact GNSO policies, in effect now or under future development.

 

Please work together and with Staff to help kick off this important and timely work.

 

Thanks,

Keith
