The GNSO Council response <https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/comments-multistakeholder-model-next-steps-2…> to the “Next Steps to Improve the Effectiveness of ICANN’s Multistakeholder Model” public comment contains background of the PDP 3.0 initiative and details of our implementation process. As of today, the GNSO Council has received the implementation documents for ten (10) out of the fourteen (14) PDP 3.0 improvements. We expect to receive the proposed implementation for the remaining four (4) improvements sometime before the GNSO Council Strategic Planning Session in January 2020. You are welcome to check this wiki page <https://community.icann.org/x/v4rkBg> for details and future updates. As the GNSO Council is in the process of reviewing these proposed implementation documents, we invite your members to provide feedback and input for the *selected improvements* in the table attached. We believe these improvements may affect the participation of members in the wider ICANN community in GNSO PDP working groups, while the other improvements are internal to the procedure within the GNSO. The GNSO Council appreciate comments from the ALAC and will take them into consideration when finalizing the proposed implementation. At-Large members are encouraged to send their comments to their ALAC Liaison to the GNSO for GNSO transmission to the GNSO Council. If possible, please forward your comments and input to the GNSO Council by *22 November 2019* so that we may fully consider them in our further deliberation. Yours sincerely, Keith Drazek Rafik Dammak Pam Little GNSO Chair GNSO Council Vice Chair GNSO Council Vice Chair Non-Contracted Parties House Contracted Parties House

Fwd: Capital Hill Briefing - What is WHOIS: Understanding One of Our Most Critical Cyber Assets
by Carlton Samuels Oct. 22, 2019

Oct. 22, 2019

FYI. Might be useful to know or even be mindful of the players here - and how this might impact the contours of the Phase II work! Carlton ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Winterfeldt IP Group <info(a)winterfeldt.law> Date: Tue, 22 Oct 2019, 11:28 am Subject: Capital Hill Briefing - What is WHOIS: Understanding One of Our Most Critical Cyber Assets To: <carlton.samuels(a)gmail.com> On Thursday, October 17, the Coalition for a Secure & Transparent Internet (CSTI) hosted a briefing on Capitol Hill entitled, “What is WHOIS: Understanding One of Our Most Critical Cyber Assets.”The briefing was an opportunity for Congressional offices to hear from federal law enforcement officials and coalition members on how they use WHOIS, which serves as a database for information about domain name registrations and registrants, to protect consumers online. The event was timely given the ongoing negotiations underway at ICANN regarding a revised WHOIS model that can restore access to a vital resource for law enforcement, intellectual property owners, businesses and consumer advocates alike. Access to WHOIS data has been limited since the implementation of GDPR (European data protection regulations) in May 2019. Per an April 2019 letter from the National Telecommunications Information Administration (NTIA), the division of the U.S. Department of Commerce that oversees the U.S. Government's interest in Internet policy matters, the Administration has targeted next month’s ICANN meetings as a deadline for seeing “substantial progress” toward a resolution of a WHOIS access model. Jae Chung, Assistant Special Agent in Charge, Pharmaceutical, Chemical & Internet Investigations Section of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and Jason Gull, Senior Counsel, Computer Crime & Intellectual Property Section, U.S. Department of Justice, detailed how WHOIS is used by their offices to pursue criminal enterprises on the Internet. Chung and Gull spoke to the fact that their investigatory and legal work, respectively, has become increasingly challenging and time-consuming in light of the limited access to and redaction of WHOIS registration data. Both U.S. Government speakers also discussed the important role that third-party organizations and investigators play in identifying bad actors online through use of WHOIS data. Coalition representatives from the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP), Kroll, and the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) spoke on a second panel as to how their use of WHOIS data in order to protect their Intellectual Property has been extremely hampered by the EU GDPR and further explained why consumers are less secure online as a result of these increased enforcement challenges. In particular, the lack of ready access to WHOIS data can result in delays and complications in connection with identifying and taking action against infringers, meaning that consumers are more likely to be misled or defrauded on a variety of levels. For example, consumers who think they are accessing authentic goods and services may be directed to pirated entertainment content or counterfeit pharmaceuticals, resulting in financial loss or even health and safety concerns. The briefing was well-attended by staff from the U.S. House of Representatives, Senate, and Executive branch offices interested in hearing more about how access to WHOIS data benefits consumers, legitimate businesses and law enforcement, as well as the harms, risked when access is limited. These advocacy efforts with Congress and the Administration will continue in order to ensure awareness regarding the important role WHOIS plays in corporate brand enforcement, consumer protection, and cybersecurity responsibilities. For more information on the importance of WHOIS, the impact of GDPR, and opportunities for advocacy to restore access to WHOIS, please reach out to Winterfeldt IP Group at internet(a)winterfeldt.law.

Re: [CPWG] [GTLD-WG] Subsequent Procedures Update: Accountability Mechanism, snapshot as at 5 Oct 2019
by Alan Greenberg Oct. 22, 2019

Oct. 22, 2019

I would like to raise the issue of the ALAC ability to object to applications as well as its ability to appeal such judgements. In the last round, the ALAC filed three objections with one of them later being withdrawn. All were to .health. I believe that the ALAC needs to formally determine if it wants such objection rights in future gTLD rounds. If we do want that right, I believe that we also need the right to appeal and in both cases, if we are not funded by ICANN, then the right is meaningless. I do not have copies of the objections we filed, but for the two cases where there were judgements (against us), they can be found at: https://newgtlds.icann.org/sites/default/files/drsp/17jan14/determination-1… ; https://newgtlds.icann.org/sites/default/files/drsp/17jan14/determination-1… . I believe that the ALAC decsiion should be based on the past history and on whether we truly believe that we will allocate appropriate resources to such a future action. In aid of that, I suggest the CPWG, and more importantly the ALAC, be quickly briefed by Olivier (who as ALAC Chair was the point person in the earlier objections) on the history and efforts associated with the three .health objections. I may be on today's call but if so, only for part of it. Alan At 06/10/2019 11:00 AM, Justine Chew wrote: Dear all, Reference is made to the SubPro Updates workspace<https://community.icann.org/x/6a_jBg>. The Subsequent Procedures PDP WG has started deliberating on public comments received on the topic of Accountability Mechanism on 1 Oct 2019. Deliberations will continue on its next call on 7 Oct at 15:00 UTC. Here is an update on the topic of Accountability Mechanism as at 5 Oct 2019<https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/111390697/01.%20SubPro%20A…>. Please note that while "Accountability Mechanism" is better associated with mechanism per the Bylaws, namely Request for Reconsideration, Independent Review Process and ICANN Ombudsman, within the SubPro context, "Accountability Mechanism" is about appeals for the new gTLD Program -- looking at rights and forms of appeals to decisions made during evaluation, objections, either by ICANN Org/Board, external evaluators, external third party Dispute Resolution Service Providers (DRSPs), as well as in respect of post-delegation dispute resolution procedures. CCT Recommendation #35 is picked up under this topic, specifically sub-recommendation (3) "Introducing a post dispute resolution panel review mechanism". As I alluded to at the CPWG call of 26 Sep under the topic of Objections, there were public comments which suggested that ALAC's ability to file Objections in subsequent procedures be explicitly limited on account of budgetary constraint. Along the same lines, a question was raised during the last SubPro WG call as to whether AC's should be funded by ICANN to file appeals. This is something which may require addressing either through a position relayed to SubPro WG momentarily and/or in any statement in response to the call for public comments to SubPro WG's final report in due course. On that note, I wish you a pleasant week ahead.
