Domain Name Abuse... potentially
by Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond March 30, 2020

March 30, 2020

As the Tokyo 2020 Olympics are postponed to 2021, domain name pirates jumped on the occasion to make a quick buck. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2020/03/27/business/tokyo-2021-olympic-do… Is this domain name abuse or domain name investment? Kindest regards, Olivier

Fwd: ICANN News Alert -- Guidelines for Developing Reference Label Generation Rules (LGRs) for the Second Level Version 2
by Maureen Hilyard March 30, 2020

March 30, 2020

FYI ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: ICANN <no-reply(a)external.icann.org> Date: Mon, Mar 30, 2020 at 10:14 AM Subject: ICANN News Alert -- Guidelines for Developing Reference Label Generation Rules (LGRs) for the Second Level Version 2 To: <maureen.hilyard(a)gmail.com> [image: ICANN Announcement Alerts] *Guidelines for Developing Reference Label Generation Rules (LGRs) for the Second Level Version 2 <https://newsalerts.icann.org/n0Cg0Kv022NP0ER08100dm0>* 30 March 2020 *Open Date:* 30 March 2020 *Close Date:* 12 May 2020 *Originating Organization:* Global Domains Division *Categories/Tags:* Second-Level Domains *Brief Overview:* ICANN org had published reference Label Generation Rules (LGRs) <https://newsalerts.icann.org/F18RP00Lw0C0g2m2000EdN0> for multiple languages to facilitate the security and stability of Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) operations of generic Top Level Domain (gTLD) registries and improve transparency and consistency of testing IDN tables. The existing guidelines <https://newsalerts.icann.org/q1EC0d08Px0N0m02R0gM002> used for these reference IDN tables focus on developing language-based reference LGRs. Since then, the detailed analyses of multiple scripts have been completed for the Root Zone Label Generation Rules (RZ-LGR) <https://newsalerts.icann.org/MN0E0208Cm01d00yP0gR0N2> by the relevant communities. These analyses can now be used for creating reference second-level LGRs for these scripts. Therefore, the Guidelines for Developing Reference LGRs for the Second Level <https://newsalerts.icann.org/K0020CR00PmO2zd8g01N0E0> are being updated to also include details of how to design script-based reference LGRs in addition to language-based reference LGRs. These guidelines are published for community feedback on the proposed methodology. Based on these guidelines, which will be finalized after incorporating the input from the community, ICANN org will continue to develop the IDN tables for additional languages and scripts and post these for public comment. *Link:* https://www.icann.org/public-comments/lgr-second-level-2-2020-03-30-en <https://newsalerts.icann.org/B100AC2EN00000mR08PPg2d> *About ICANN* ICANN’s mission is to help ensure a stable, secure, and unified global Internet. To reach another person on the Internet, you need to type an address – a name or a number – into your computer or other device. That address must be unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN helps coordinate and support these unique identifiers across the world. ICANN was formed in 1998 as a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation with a community of participants from all over the world.

Fwd: Read the SubPro PDP Newsletter - March 2020 Edition
by Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond March 30, 2020

March 30, 2020

FYI -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Read the SubPro PDP Newsletter - March 2020 Edition Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2020 13:13:46 -0400 (EDT) From: Emily Barabas <emily.barabas(a)icann.org> Reply-To: emily.barabas(a)icann.org To: ocl(a)gih.com The latest edition is now available. New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP March 2020 Newsletter CURRENT STATUS In March, the Working Group focused on reviewing draft final recommendations <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012o43qFtByCzXTlyp2V1JdJzK09-9R4y1oPVvCuXRIhAa…>** on a topic-by-topic basis. The meetings in March focused on recommendations for the following topics: * 2 March <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012o43qFtByCzXTlyp2V1JdJzK09-9R4y1oPVvCuXRIhAa…>: Registrant Protections, Registrar Non-Discrimination / Registry/Registrar Standardization, Registrar Support for New gTLDs * 5 March <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012o43qFtByCzXTlyp2V1JdJzK09-9R4y1oPVvCuXRIhAa…>: TLD Rollout, Contractual Compliance * 16 March <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012o43qFtByCzXTlyp2V1JdJzK09-9R4y1oPVvCuXRIhAa…>: Community Applications * 19 March <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012o43qFtByCzXTlyp2V1JdJzK09-9R4y1oPVvCuXRIhAa…>: Community Applications, Public Interest Commitments/Registry Voluntary Commitments * 23 March <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012o43qFtByCzXTlyp2V1JdJzK09-9R4y1oPVvCuXRIhAa…>: Role of GAC Consensus Advice & GAC Early Warning * 26 March <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012o43qFtByCzXTlyp2V1JdJzK09-9R4y1oPVvCuXRIhAa…>: Applicant Support * 30 March <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012o43qFtByCzXTlyp2V1JdJzK09-9R4y1oPVvCuXRIhAa…>: String Similarity The Working Group held three sessions as part of the ICANN67 Virtual Community Forum <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012o43qFtByCzXTlyp2V1JdJzK09-9R4y1oPVvCuXRIhAa…>and focused these sessions on topics that are of particular interest to Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) members. In doing so, the Working Group sought to take advantage of the GAC’s focus on new gTLDs at ICANN67 and its encouragement of GAC member participation throughout the meetings. In the first session <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012o43qFtByCzXTlyp2V1JdJzK09-9R4y1oPVvCuXRIhAa…>on 9 March <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012o43qFtByCzXTlyp2V1JdJzK09-9R4y1oPVvCuXRIhAa…>, the Working Group focused on the topic of closed generic top-level domains (TLDs), and specifically discussed different perspectives on whether the Working Group should recommend allowing, limiting, or prohibiting these TLDs in subsequent application rounds. The second session <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012o43qFtByCzXTlyp2V1JdJzK09-9R4y1oPVvCuXRIhAa…>on 10 March <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012o43qFtByCzXTlyp2V1JdJzK09-9R4y1oPVvCuXRIhAa…>was devoted to the topic of the Global Public Interest, including Mandatory Public Interest Commitments (PICs), Voluntary Public Interest Commitments (which the Working Group is tentatively calling Registry Voluntary Commitments, or RVCs, for the purposes of subsequent procedures), DNS abuse, and Verified TLDs. In the third session <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012o43qFtByCzXTlyp2V1JdJzK09-9R4y1oPVvCuXRIhAa…>on 12 March <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012o43qFtByCzXTlyp2V1JdJzK09-9R4y1oPVvCuXRIhAa…>, the Working Group discussed possible draft recommendations on GAC Consensus Advice and GAC Early Warning and considered potential improvements to the Applicant Support Program. ** Note that draft recommendations for a subset of the topics (Closed Generics, Public Interest Commitments/Registry Voluntary Commitments, GAC Consensus Advice and GAC Early Warning, Applicant Support, and Community Applications) are currently included in a separate document <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012o43qFtByCzXTlyp2V1JdJzK09-9R4y1oPVvCuXRIhAa…>. NEXT STEPS The Working Group will continue to develop draft final recommendations taking into consideration the Working Group’s review of its summary documents and any additional deliberations that have taken place. For the schedule of topics that will be covered in April, please see the Working Group’s wiki <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012o43qFtByCzXTlyp2V1JdJzK09-9R4y1oPVvCuXRIhAa…>. WHAT IS THIS ABOUT? In June 2014, the GNSO Council established a Discussion Group that was intended to evaluate the experiences of the 2012 round gTLD Program and to identify possible areas for future GNSO policy development. The Discussion Group’s deliverables <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012o43qFtByCzXTlyp2V1JdJzK09-9R4y1oPVvCuXRIhAa…>served as the basis for the GNSO Council request for a Preliminary Issue Report in June of 2015. Following the publication of the Final Issue Report <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012o43qFtByCzXTlyp2V1JdJzK09-9R4y1oPVvCuXRIhAa…>, the GNSO Council adopted the charter <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012o43qFtByCzXTlyp2V1JdJzK09-9R4y1oPVvCuXRIhAa…>for the PDP Working Group, which began its work in February 2016. The Working Group initially concentrated on a set of overarching issues. It later conducted deliberations on additional topics in its charter using five separate Work Tracks: Work Track 1 - Overall Process/Support/Outreach, Work Track 2 - Legal/Regulatory, Work Track 3: String Contention/Objections & Disputes, Work Track 4: Internationalized Domain Names/Technical & Operations, Work Track 5: Geographic Names at the Top Level. WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT? The Discussion Group identified a number of subjects that may require further analysis and possible formulation of policy language. There are existing policy recommendations adopted by the GNSO Council and ICANN Board, which will remain in place unless the PDP WG determines that changes are needed.

.ORG Stewardship Council Charter
by Roberto Gaetano March 29, 2020

March 29, 2020

Hi all. Looking at https://www.thestewardshipcouncil.org/new-page there is one point that I would like to have an exchange of opinions on. Principle 12 describes the veto powers of the Council on matters that relate to things like the change of the status and powers of the Council itself. The Council can veto a decision of the Board with a vote of the qualified majority of the members (at least 2/3, which is 5 Councillors). Principle 10 states that "There shall be no attendance or voting by proxy”, which makes it possible that at any meeting the Council might not be complete, that is that the meeting will be held with less than 7 members. My personal opinion is that, in light of Principle 10, the decision on important matters referred by Principle 12 should be taken by the qualified majority of the members present at the meeting. As an example, if this point is amended, in case of the absence of one member the qualified majority would go down from 5 to 4. I believe that, while I fully agree on the fact that veto power should require a qualified majority, on such important matters like the principles and powers of the Council itself we should not undermine its own ability to oppose a Board decision. However, IANAL, so I cannot say what is the common practice in such charters. Opinions? Thanks, Roberto
