Subject: [Ext] INPUT REQUESTED: CSG Meeting with the board in Montreal
Dear Nathalie and all,
On behalf of the IPC, thank you for the opportunity to submit questions or topic for the CSG & Board session being held during ICANN
66. We appreciate Mr. Cherine Chalaby idea in regards to presenting one topic for discussion. With that in mind, the IPC is very interested in having a conversation with the Board on the following topic: ‘When a Policy(s) and Contractual Obligation(s) have
been approved by the ICANN Board, what is the formal process to place certain PDPs on hold or stop supporting the implementation of such policies? Who grants ICANN.org the ability to modify the PDP process? Specific examples include:
1) Privacy and Proxy implementation
pending
the implementation of the forthcoming EPDP Phase 2 recommendations [gnso.icann.org], but ICANN Org
has not provided specific details (contractual, GDPR regulation or otherwise) as to why and how this decision occurred. We seek to better understand the mechanisms that placed this Policy implementation on hold and
what mechanism and/or triggers will re-start this implementation? Please explain.
2) All Contracted Registrars are operating under the 2013 Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA) currently. Within this Agreement,
the Registrars are required to ‘Validate that all postal address fields are consistent across fields (for example: street exists in city, city exists in state/province, city matches postal code) where such information is technically and commercially feasible
for the applicable country or territory.’ Given the fact that it is 2019, this requirement has been in place for a period of six (6) years;
2A) Why has it taken ICANN Org so long to address this contractual obligation; and
2B) What are the detailed plans and timeline to hold ICANN and the Registrars accountable given the fact that under a proposed SSAD model, one will have to become accredited to gain access to the unpublished
RDS data and may be subject to fees? The importance of accurate RDS data has never been more apparent.
Therefore, it is of the most upmost importance that once the requestor does garner access to the non-published data, the data should
be accurate based on the validation criteria stated in the 2013 RAA WHOIS Accuracy Specification. The IPC looks forward to a constructive conversation with the ICANN Board.
Best regards,
Brian
IPC President

DEADLINE IN ONE WEEK:
Preparations for ICANN66 Constituency Day
From: Cherine Chalaby,
ICANN Board Chair
FOR:
All Community Leaders
ACTION ITEM
Dear Constituency and Stakeholder Group Chairs,
Please reply no later than Monday, 14 October 2019
The Board and I are very much looking forward to engaging with you during our 21st AGM that will take place
in Montréal between 2-7 November 2019.
We wish to keep working on improving our interaction with you and, in particular, we want to address some
of the requests and feedback we have received and introduce some more flexibility in the format of our valuable face-to-face meetings.
Starting in Montréal, instead of sending up to three questions to the Board, we would like to offer you
the alternative option of choosing a single topic and having an open discussion with the Board on that topic.
We are also suggesting that the list of questions or topics received be shared with the entire Community
using the Policy digest, in order to increase transparency and allow the groups to improve their own understanding of their peers’ point of views on different issues.
As for time allocation, we propose to allocate half of our time together to answer your questions or discuss
your single topic and the other half to address the Board’s topic.
In preparation for our meetings, the Board chose the following topic to have an open discussion with you:
“Community, Board and ICANN org readiness to implement the following three critical plans that will shape
ICANN’s future: (1) Strategic Plan FY 21-25, (2) Operating & Financial Plan FY 21-25, and (3) Work Plan to improve the effectiveness of ICANN’s multistakeholder model.”
The Strategic
Plan [r20.rs6.net]
has been adopted by the Board last June at ICANN65 in Marrakech. The two other plans will be completed and posted for public comment in December 2019.
At ICANN64 in Kobe, the Board asked each constituency to provide three suggestions, one for the Board,
one for ICANN org and one for the Community of things/aspects that should be done/improved in order to implement these plans successfully, starting 1 July 2020, as mandated by our Bylaws. In addition, the Board asked for one suggestion of something
that could be done externally to improve trust and with our partners and alliances (eg. IETF) so that they collaborate effectively with ICANN on some of our strategic objectives (eg. DNS security).
Based on the input received in Kobe, we are compiling a list of suggested actions for the community, Board
and ICANN org which we would like to share and discuss with you in Montreal. We will send you that list in advance of our meeting in Montréal on or before Friday, 11 October 2019.
We would be very grateful if you could send to Board Operations (board-ops-team@icann.org) your
single topic or the list of questions (max. 3), in order of priority, no later than Monday, 14 October 2019 or sooner.
For information, we are not changing the current total time allotted per group nor the room set-up.
We look forward to hearing your thoughts on our suggestions and on how to improve our interaction further.
We thank you in advance for your time on this matter and we look forward to welcoming you in Canada!
Best regards,
Cherine Chalaby
