Presentation on Auction Proceeds
by Alan Greenberg Jan. 29, 2020

Jan. 29, 2020

As you may recall from the last CPWG meeting, Judith has drafted a comment on the draft report of the CCWG Auction Proceeds. I (and Sebastien), as two of the five ALAC-appointed Members of the CCWG, strongly disagree with it. The comment is due to be discussed at today's CPWG meeting, but I am tied up in a critical EPDP F2F meeting and cannot join the CPWG. I am attaching a short presentation which I ask Jonathan or Olivier to present on my behalf. If anyone has any question sfor me, please send them via e-mail, or put them in the wiki space (https://community.icann.org/x/MgCJBw) or the GoogleDoc https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FECI6SpTgSp6iFvgJXZwh-DOKFhhj9n8bau_FJ2….

MSM evolution google doc open for comments
by Marita Moll Jan. 28, 2020

Jan. 28, 2020

Colleagues, I have asked for some time on Wednesday's meeting to talk about the google.doc currently underway on the topic of the evolving multistakeholder model. I have reviewed the discussions we have had so far and trust that your views have been incorporated. In brief: we accept the challenge to lead the culture, trust and silos issue. We offer some ideas on how we might implement this and resources that would be needed. The other topic, consensus, representation and inclusivity is a bit more delicate as there is competition for volunteers among several groups. I have suggested that we might need to start addressing the cultural issues as a prelude to representation and inclusivity n order to reduce this barrier. Please see the google doc below and offer your commets. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BVJLVRlQYP6tpJ0-TXLpSeTu11vzbNZCYuWFc05… Marita

Re: [CPWG] PIR/Ethos

Fwd: [Internet Policy] Massive protest against PIR sale in LA
by Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond Jan. 27, 2020

Jan. 27, 2020

FYI -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [Internet Policy] Massive protest against PIR sale in LA Date: Sat, 25 Jan 2020 15:47:13 -0700 From: Richard Bennett via InternetPolicy <internetpolicy(a)elists.isoc.org> Reply-To: Richard Bennett <richard(a)bennett.com> To: ISOC Policy <internetpolicy(a)elists.isoc.org> ICYMI, SaveDotOrg - an umbrella protest group organized by EFF and Fight For The Future - organized a protest against the PIR sale at ICANN headquarters in Los Angeles. The protest was a vehicle for presenting a petition demanding that ICANN block the sale, which was accomplished when members of the ICANN board came out and met with the protesters. Former novelist Cory Doctorow, a harsh critic, entertained the assembled throng of no less than nine (9) protesters with a rousing speech. Here’s the news coverage of the event, with pictures. https://www.internetnews.me/2020/01/24/savedotorg-protest-outside-icann-hq/ Register reporter Kieren McCarthy, a former ICANN employee, sent many tweets during the festivities. It remains to be seen whether ICANN will take this outpouring of public sentiment to heart.
