NEW: Ramanou Biaou Honored with 2020 Dr. Tarek Kamel Award for Capacity
Building
Last week, ICANN org
announced [r20.rs6.net] the first recipient of the 2020 Dr. Tarek Kamel Award for Capacity Building is Ramanou Biaou.
The ICANN Board recognizes Biaou's commitment to local and regional capacity-building programs in his home country of Benin as well as across Africa. He has worked
to improve the technical skills of women in Africa and encouraged their participation in endeavors related to the Internet and Domain Name System (DNS). Through his efforts, the diversity and number of new ICANN community members increased.

NEW: ICANN org Responds to the European Data Protection Board’s Public
Consultation on the Board’s Guidelines on the Concepts of Controller and Processor
The issue of controllership has been critical throughout the work of the Expedited Policy Development Process on the Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration
Data (EPDP) and remains important for the implementation of a System for Standardized Access/Disclosure as recommended by the EPDP Phase 2 Team.
In ICANN org's response to the public consultation, which closed today, it was noted that while the guidelines are a helpful step, ICANN org believes that further
clarity would be beneficial in three areas:
Precise attribution of
"control" to particular stages in the processing under a micro-level analytic framework.
When and how is
"control" inferred from a contract, absent a party's actual involvement in processing contemplated under any such agreement.
The newly introduced concept of
"converging decisions."
All contributions to the Public Comment proceeding will be available on the EDPB website.
