by John Curran Dec. 30, 2019

Dec. 30, 2019

Empowered Community Administration – It is unclear if the ecadmin(a)icann.org<mailto:ecadmin@icann.org> mailing list received the original copy of this request, as it was sent by the Oscar Robles-Garay (Chair of the NRO EC) who may not having posting rights. (Oscar sent it rather than myself as ICANN Bylaws Section 22.7 specifically require an Inspection request to come from the "chair of the Inspecting Decisional Participant”) I am forwarding for completeness of record. /John John Curran (President and CEO, American Registry for Internet Numbers) ASO Representative to the Empowered Community Administration -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: EC Decisional Participant Inspection Request re records pertaining to .org decision process Date: Fri, 27 Dec 2019 20:14:44 -0300 From: Oscar A. Robles-Garay <oscar(a)lacnic.net><mailto:oscar@lacnic.net> To: John Jeffrey <john.jeffrey(a)icann.org><mailto:john.jeffrey@icann.org> CC: maarten.botterman(a)board.icann.org<mailto:maarten.botterman@board.icann.org>, Göran Marby <goran.marby(a)icann.org><mailto:goran.marby@icann.org>, ecadmin(a)icann.org<mailto:ecadmin@icann.org> ICANN Secretary, The 5 Regional Internet address Registries (RIRs) have participated in ICANN since its inception, collectively in the names of the NRO (Number Resource Organization) and the ASO (Address Supporting Organization). With the recent ASO Review, the NRO communities reaffirmed our relationship with ICANN as a critical component of the global Internet Governance ecosystem, and our participation in ICANN as a Decisional Participant in the Empowered Community. The NRO has reviewed recent events surrounding the proposal by ISOC to transfer the ownership of PIR, the .org Registry, to Ethos Capital. While we do not normally engage in policy matters related to the DNS, we consider ICANN’s handling of this proposal to be an important Internet governance decision, with bearing on the community’s trust in ICANN, and the legitimacy of the ICANN model. We have therefore agreed to issue an Inspection Request to ICANN (as follows), in the name of the ASO as a Decisional Participant in the Empowered Community. We believe that confirming the process that will be used for review of the assignment of the .org registry agreement, including the extent of public input into that process, will enhance the transparency of the decision making and strengthen public trust in ICANN. Request: “As a Decisional Participant in the Empowered Community and pursuant to ICANN Bylaws section 22.7, the ASO hereby submits this Inspection Request to inspect the records of ICANN, including minutes of the Board or any Board Committee, for the purpose of determining whether the ASO's may have need to use its empowered community powers in the near future relating to the potential assignment of the .org Registry Agreement. For this purpose, the ASO seeks to inspect any ICANN records which pertain to or provide relevant insight to the process by which ICANN will consider (and potentially approve) the assignment of the .org Registry Agreement, including the process by which input from the affected community will be obtained prior to ICANN’s consideration and potential approval of the assignment.” Best Regards, Oscar Robles-Garay Chair of the NRO EC (On behalf of the ASO as a Decisional Participant in the Empowered Community)
