Dear Brian, Thank you for your email which will be sent to the Board shortly. Kind regards, Nathalie From: Brian Winterfeldt <Brian@Winterfeldt.law> Date: Tuesday, October 15, 2019 at 6:03 PM To: Nathalie Peregrine <nathalie.peregrine@icann.org>, "council@gnso.icann.org" <council@gnso.icann.org>, "rafik.dammak@gmail.com" <rafik.dammak@gmail.com> Cc: Maria Otanes <maria.otanes@icann.org>, Chantelle Doerksen <chantelle.doerksen@icann.org>, "'ipc-leadership@icann.org'" <ipc-leadership@icann.org>, "'csg-excomm@ICANN.org'" <csg-excomm@ICANN.org> 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]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__gnso.icann.org_sites_de...>, 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 ________________________________ <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.winterfeldt.law_&d=DwMFAw&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=PDd_FX3f4MVgkEIi9GHvVoUhbecsvLhgsyXrxgtbL10DTBs0i1jYiBM_uTSDzgqG&m=wyQKmSd2JT52N-mjD9vZM5sIPaM7LTv3ymU_i1fShBg&s=YratIK0YowjYVc4DT3UaYOJH5wdvq8V5qKWuUl_M2CM&e=>[https://daks2k3a4ib2z.cloudfront.net/59358b8cf7332631232417e8/595fb59d73c5b113a1d2a61b_WIPG_LogoMark.png]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.winterfeldt.law_&d=DwMFAw&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=PDd_FX3f4MVgkEIi9GHvVoUhbecsvLhgsyXrxgtbL10DTBs0i1jYiBM_uTSDzgqG&m=wyQKmSd2JT52N-mjD9vZM5sIPaM7LTv3ymU_i1fShBg&s=YratIK0YowjYVc4DT3UaYOJH5wdvq8V5qKWuUl_M2CM&e=>[winterfeldt.law]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.winterfeldt.law_&d=DwMFAw&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=PDd_FX3f4MVgkEIi9GHvVoUhbecsvLhgsyXrxgtbL10DTBs0i1jYiBM_uTSDzgqG&m=wyQKmSd2JT52N-mjD9vZM5sIPaM7LTv3ymU_i1fShBg&s=YratIK0YowjYVc4DT3UaYOJH5wdvq8V5qKWuUl_M2CM&e=> Brian J.

Thank you, Nathalie From: council <council-bounces@gnso.icann.org<mailto:council-bounces@gnso.icann.org>> on behalf of "rafik.dammak@gmail.com<mailto:rafik.dammak@gmail.com>" <rafik.dammak@gmail.com<mailto:rafik.dammak@gmail.com>> Date: Tuesday, October 8, 2019 at 1:36 AM To: "council@gnso.icann.org<mailto:council@gnso.icann.org>" <council@gnso.icann.org<mailto:council@gnso.icann.org>> Subject: [council] Meeting with the board in Montreal hi all, I would like to highlight here the note about the board engagement with community in Montreal Meeting. Board proposing some changes by focusing on 1 topic we can propose for discussion. I would like that we start thinking about we should engage the board on. Best, Rafik 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]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__r20.rs6.net_tn.jsp-3Ff-3...> 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<mailto: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!
