IRP Decision per Namecheap Challenge
by Carlton Samuels Jan. 9, 2023

Jan. 9, 2023

A governance conundrum for sure, as in when does an illegal act by a public benefit corporation be deemed sanctionable? I never quite got what Namecheap's bellyaching was intended to achieve because we know ICANN has committed - in its affirmations to the USG premised on cutting the oversight apron strings - to a names market that is free and unfettered. [*Full disclosure: I am and remain neutral on this policy posture, caveat emptor and all that applied.*] So consistent with that view, the IRB has determined that price changes instituted by .biz and .org are shadows, not substantial things, even with recognition that the bye-laws to which the Board is bound were violated. The ICANN org analysis at least thinks this is what the IRB says: ".....*Ultimately, however, the IRP panel found that ICANN's approval of the 2019 Registry Agreements for .INFO and .ORG without price controls violated the Articles and/or Bylaws in a few ways, including ICANN was not sufficiently transparent in its decision making, the Board did not, but should have made the decision about these particular Registry Agreement renewals, and ICANN did not follow procedures for ensuring promotion of the global public interest.* *The panel viewed these violations as procedural rather than substantive in nature, and recommended, but did not order, that the ICANN Board analyze and discuss what steps to take to remedy the specific violations and to improve its overall decision-making process to ensure that similar violations do not occur in the future. Notably, Namecheap urged the panel to order ICANN to re-impose price controls in the .BIZ, .INFO, and .ORG Registry Agreements. The panel did not do so, and stated that such an "order" is not within an IRP panel's remit and that there is a "clear distinction" between the panel's "power to 'declare' and its power to 'recommend.*'" https://www.icann.org/en/announcements/details/icann-receives-final-declara… Carlton ============================== *Carlton A Samuels* *Mobile: 876-818-1799Strategy, Process, Governance, Assessment & Turnaround* =============================

FYKI: A Counting : Local voices, Languages, and Accents
by gopal Jan. 4, 2023

Jan. 4, 2023

Dear All, Happy New Year 2023. I have been following the project "A Counting" [it is not one C missing in Accounitng]. Please visit: https://a-counting.us/ A Counting: A voice portrait of the US<https://a-counting.us/> A Counting is an ongoing series of linguistic portraits of the US featuring various spoken and sign languages. Created in response to the US Census which has historically misrepresented the ethnic and linguistic diversity of the US, A Counting serves as a meditation and speculation on what a truly united society would look and sound like. a-counting.us I found this very interesting as it seamlessly progresses into Translators and Alexa kind of machines even for the URLs. For your kind information only. Sincerely, Gopal T V 0 9840121302 https://vidwan.inflibnet.ac.in/profile/57545 https://www.facebook.com/gopal.tadepalli ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Dr. T V Gopal Professor Department of Computer Science and Engineering College of Engineering Anna University Chennai - 600 025, INDIA Ph : (Off) 22351723 Extn. 3340 (Res) 24454753 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Inter-Registrar Transfer PDP: Charter questions to discuss in detail
by Steinar Grøtterød Jan. 3, 2023

Jan. 3, 2023

Dear CPWG members, The Google doc with the charter questions is distributed to this mailing list. Please review and make your comments using https://docs.google.com/document/d/1O3vBcIr-mkDcdF5hX8jRcLXu0DoIWDTgMl4HrUQ… My recommendation is to agree to the Working Group recommendations. In my opinion, the proposed recommendations make a transfer of a generic domain name more user friendly, in addition to increase the security with a set of notifications to the Registered Name Holder, a secure Transfer Authorization Code (TAC) and a Time to Live for the TAC. There are two charter questions that we may discuss more in detail: Recommendation #16 (transfer lock after initial registration) and Recommendation #17 (transfer lock after a successful inter-registrar transfer). The question is whether At-Large believe it is a “good” or “bad” idea to make an “opt-out” to these transfers locks. My proposal is to use 10-15 min at the CPWG call on Wednesday Jan 4 2023 to discuss Rec #16 and Rec #17. The red-line version of the report is attached to this email. Regards, Steinar Grøtterø
