Subsequent Procedures: Request for reactions to letter by GAC Chair to SubPro PDP WG Co-Chairs relaying GAC input on the scope of upcoming SubPro public comment
by Justine Chew Dec. 5, 2019

Dec. 5, 2019

Dear all, RE:*Letter from the GAC Chair, Manal Ismail, on behalf of GAC Membership: GAC Input on Scope of Upcoming New gTLDs Subsequent Procedures PDP WG Public Comment <https://gac.icann.org/contentMigrated/gac-input-on-scope-of-upcoming-new-gt…>* I had tabled for discussion at yesterday's (27 Nov) CPWG call the above-referenced correspondence from the GAC Chair to the Subsequent Procedures PDP WG Co-Chairs which relayed GAC's input on the scope of the upcoming (additional) call for public comments to recommendations (whether preliminary or not) of the SubPro PDP WG. However, as I was otherwise detained, I was unable to make the said CPWG call and am now taking a remedial step to initiate the intended discussion. *Context* SubPro PDP WG is close to completing its review of public comments to its Initial Report of 2018, although some work is ongoing in respect of certain topics which have raised new ideas and are likely to lead to significant changes for subsequent procedures (IMO). Among others, one key question that *SubPro PDP WG is determining is, in basic terms, whether [A] to confine the additional call for public comments to preliminary recommendations (or questions) relating to those topics which SubPro PDP WG Leadership opines were not put out for Community input in earlier calls for public comments.* This decision is still pending and debate among members of the SubPro PDP WG on this matter is ongoing, *with an alternative being proposed, which is [B] to put, again in basic terms, a version of a "draft Final Report" with recommendations in its entirety, out for public comment*. In that scenario the document would not be "final" in form, of course. If I may abbreviate hereon, the rationale for [A] limiting the scope of what would be put out for public comment centres around the elements of (1) duplicity - we have already asked for community input on much of the WG's earlier work; (2) public comment fatigue; and (3) pressure to complete the WG's work within an already elongated timeline. While the arguments put forth for [B] putting a report in its entirety out for comment revolve around (1) keeping open opportunity for broad-based indirect participation by the Community; (2) enabling the Community to better understand and appreciate crucial connections between topics which would otherwise be effectively severed, ie. "allow Community to see the whole picture because changes to one part of the picture might affect perspectives to other parts of the picture"; (3) this is needed precursor work to better facilitate the goal of Community-wide accepted Final Report recommendations. *Request for Reactions* The afore-linked letter from the GAC Chair sets out the GAC's reaction to this question. I invite feedback, *especially from At-Large colleagues active on the SubPro PDP WG*, on whether At-Large/ALAC should also react to this question, and if yes, how so. Discussion on this list can be expected to be taken up at a subsequent CPWG call. Thank you, *Justine Chew* At-Large/ALAC liaison for Subsequent Procedures ALAC Member -----

Town hall mtg re: PIR with some info from ICANN board
by Marita Moll Nov. 29, 2019

Nov. 29, 2019

Here is a report from the town hall at IGF re: the PIR sale. It contains important info from Becky Burr and Chris Disspain about what ICANN can and cannot do in this case: https://www.internetgovernance.org/2019/11/28/town-hall-meeting-on-org-at-i… Excerpt: ... Though reluctant to step forward and talk initially (“We are just here to listen”), ICANN board members Becky Burr and Chris Disspain quickly came to their senses and explained the process they go through when ownership of a registry changes. They acknowledged that section 7.5 of theORG Registry Agreement <https://www.icann.org/sites/default/files/tlds/org/org-agmt-html-30jun19-en…>gives them a role in the transfer of control and that the process associated with that is already happening. They can ask questions of ISOC trustees and PIR about the sale and exchange information. There is no fixed 30-day limit on these exchanges, rather a rolling 30 day limit on each round of questions and responses. Board members acknowledged ICANN’s ability to attach conditions to the recognition of Ethos Capital as the new operator of .ORG. Board member Leon Sanchez was also in attendance. The ICANN board members sat through the entire meeting and paid attention, so it should be clear to them that they can enhance ICANN’s legitimacy and reputation by taking the right steps in this controversy. They also indicated that concerned members of the community are welcome to send their opinions to the CEO and Board. We would caution anyone who does this to keep in mind the precise nature of ICANN’s role in this process, otherwise the advice will not be useful. Marita

CircleId post
by Roberto Gaetano Nov. 28, 2019

Nov. 28, 2019

This article has been posted to CircleId yesterday by Richard Barnes, an ISOC Trustee: http://www.circleid.com/posts/20191127_why_i_voted_to_sell_org/ Please find below the reply that I have posted today, that is currently awaiting moderation. Cheers, Roberto Dear Richard, I am a .org registrant. I was proud of the fact that part of the money I was spending went to ISOC for the very projects you have described. This is now gone. My .org domain name is not just a domain name, is the digital identity that makes me part of the .org community. The fact that there are also commercial members in this community is irrelevant because the image that we project is that of not for profit, and to have the house hosting us being itself not for profit was a reassuring affirmation of this identity. This is now gone. When I applied for the PIR Board I was proud to become part of a wider community of which ISOC was the steward, that was working together with the registry, registrants and users for the benefit of the internet worldwide. This is now gone. Since I have started becoming involved in the Internet I had a strong belief that it was possible to act after discussion with the stakeholders and that the community could be involved before making strategic decisions. This is now gone. When the I* community started operating I believed that ISOC could be the core organization that was leading by example, putting ideals before and above money. This is now gone. You know that, in particular in the last couple of years, there have been disagreements between our two Boards - or at least parts thereof - but they have been solved with the spirit of collaboration that two travellers who share the same journey always have. Not even in my worst nightmares I would have thought that we were getting to the point that we would have taken different paths. Be happy and prosper with the financial stability you have achieved, but be aware that you have paid a price - an immaterial one, but a very important one. Roberto
