Fwd: Re: Action Items: 2017-02-28 EURALO Monthly Teleconference"
by Jean-Jacques Subrenat Nov. 19, 2017

Nov. 19, 2017

Dear EURALO Colleagues, below, please find an exchange of messages between Olivier Crépin-Leblond, Chair of EURALO, and myself. I appreciate Olivier’s quick reaction, the corrections he brought to my message (number of seats on EURALO Board), and his helpful comments. Best regards, Jean-Jacques. Le 2 mars 2017 à 18:23:09, Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond (ocl(a)gih.com) a écrit: Dear Jean-Jacques, thank you for your follow-up. First, a quick correction to Silvia's email address, as you appear to have it as no-reply(a)icann.org which is when one updates WIKI pages. I have amended Silvia's address accordingly. Please find my comments interspersed in your text. On 02/03/2017 17:49, Jean-Jacques Subrenat wrote: Dear Silvia & All, here is my contribution on the action item under reference. Currently, and unless I’m mistaken, the EURALO Board has 11 members. In the past twelve months, about a third of these members have intervened in EURALO monthly meetings (audio, chat or emails). The EURALO Board actually has only 5 members: Olawale (‘Wale) Shakiru BAKARE - United Kingdom Yrjö Länsipuro - Finland Eric Schweighofer - Austria Annette Mühlberg - Germany Matthieu Camus - France All other "members" - ie. ALAC representatives, Secretary & EURALO Chair are ex-officio. Originally I asked each member of the EURALO Board to share with others what they goals were during their tenancy. These are reflected on https://community.icann.org/x/0QB1Aw . I gather that these should be updated since Mikhail Medrish and Jordi Iparraguire have been replaced. I suggest we consider the following: What are the essential functions the EURALO Board must undertake or uphold? Each item is followed by a recommendation. 1) Ensure conformity of EURALO procedure and actions with existing legal or structural obligations (ICANN, ALAC and EURALO By-laws, Rules of procedure, Accepted standards in meetings, etc.). This applies, but is not limited to: membership, quorum, elections, rough consensus. Recommendation 1: a Board member with experience in these areas, and perhaps with a legal background, should be appointed as the « Legal reference point ». Excellent idea. 2) Consolidate relations with ALAC and other parts of ICANN. As in most ACs and SOs, the Chair of EURALO does this, and does it well (good visibility, good inter-personal skills, deep knowledge of the issues). Recommendation 2: no change. I would like to see our ALAC members take an extra care in fostering the link between ALAC and EURALO. They are our ambassadors on the ALAC. I would also like to see them take a leadership role on the ALAC, like Chairing a working group. As for the EURALO Board members, ideally they could chair a EURALO working group. 3) Enhance cooperation between EURALO and its ALSs. Over the years, this function has been carried out mainly by the Chair and/or Secretary. But with the gradual growth in the number of ALSs, this now requires a dedicated approach. Among other areas where cooperation would be appreciated: help in launching ALS surveys, help in participating in ICANN events, travel and accommodation support, etc. Recommendation 3: designate a Board member who, with the help of Support Staff, would be the prime contact point for all EURALO ALSs. Would this be an "inreach" officer? I would really support this too. 4) Consolidate EURALO contributions to ALAC and ICANN policy development. One of the current tasks is the appraisal of the At-Large Review: because of its complexity, but even more because of the implications of some of the recommendations in that Review, it is necessary to make sure that contributions are made on time, and that they are relevant. Recommendation 4: designate a Board member who is familiar with Policy development in the ICANN ecosystem, and who has a track record of making trains depart and arrive on time, at the right station. Excellent. I hope this is useful. This is *very* useful. Dear Silvia, if Olivier agrees, may I suggest that you send this out to the EURALO list? Thank you. Please do so. Jean-Jacques, please email the EURALO list yourself, so we can follow-up directly. Kindest regards Olivier

May 29, 2017

News Alert https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2017-04-20-en Call for Volunteers for the Third Review of ICANN Accountability and Transparency (ATRT3) Extended 20 April 2017 Represent the global stakeholder community by participating in ICANN Reviews. Apply today to join the team of global experts that will help improve the transparency and accountability of ICANN, and ensure it meets its commitments to the global community. ICANN is seeking volunteers to serve on the third review of ICANN Accountability and Transparency (ATRT3). To apply, please click here [PDF, 2.78 MB] to fill out your Statement of Interest. You may also print out the Statement of Interest form and submit it to reviews(a)icann.org. The ATRT3 Call for Volunteers was scheduled from 31 January to 21 April 2017. This call is now extended to Friday, 2 June 2017, 23:59 UTC to give more time to community members to learn about this review and submit their applications. The goal is to have a pool of diverse and skilled applicants for the SO/ACs to select from. All applications and supporting materials will be published as they are received on the public ATRT3 wiki page. Selection of the Review Team Under the new Bylaws, each SO/AC will have an opportunity to nominate up to seven applicants to serve on the Review Team. An applicant's name will only be presented to the SO/AC identified by the applicant for consideration. After SO/AC nomination process concludes, all nominations will be provided to the SO/AC leaders to conduct the selection process for the Review Team according to the specified expertise and geographic and gender diversity from the nominations received. The Review Team may contain up to 21 members, plus an ICANN Board member (designated by the ICANN Board). For candidates that are seeking a nomination of an SO or AC, we suggest that you communicate and establish a relationship with the leadership of the respective SO or AC. Context and Chronology The specific objectives for the ATRT3 are to review ICANN's execution of its commitment to maintain and improve robust mechanisms for public input, accountability, and transparency to ensure that the outcomes of its decision-making reflect the public interest and are accountable to the Internet community. ICANN's Accountability and Transparency Review originated under the Affirmation of Commitments in 2009. Effective 1 October 2016, ICANN's obligation to conduct this review was incorporated into ICANN Bylaws. The composition of the Review Team will be determined by the ICANN community. For more information, please see Section 4.6. of the ICANN Bylaws. More information is included in the "Background" section below to provide an overview of events leading up to this Call for Volunteers. Scope of the Accountability and Transparency Review ICANN Bylaws mandate that the community conduct a periodic Review to assess how ICANN is executing its commitment to maintain and improve robust mechanisms for public input, accountability, and transparency. This ensures that the outcomes of its decision-making reflect the public interest and are accountable to the Internet community. The focus of the ATRT3 Review may include, but is not limited to, the following: Assess and improve Board governance which may include an ongoing evaluation of Board performance, the Board selection process, the extent to which the Board's composition and allocation structure meets ICANN's present and future needs, and the appeal mechanisms for Board decisions contained in the Bylaws; Assess the role and effectiveness of the GAC's interaction with the Board and with the broader ICANN community; and make recommendations for improvements to ensure effective consideration by ICANN of GAC input on the public policy aspects of the technical coordination of the DNS; Assess and improve the processes by which ICANN receives public input (including adequate explanation of decisions taken and rationale); Assess the extent to which ICANN's decisions are supported and accepted by the Internet community; Assess the policy development process to facilitate enhanced cross community deliberations, and effective and timely policy development; Assess and improve the Independent Review Process; and Assess the extent to which prior Accountability and Transparency Review recommendations have been implemented and the extent to which implementation of such recommendations has resulted in the intended effect. Compensation ATRT3 Review Team members will not receive compensation from ICANN for their service on the team. However, travel, meal and lodging costs for Review Team members who participate in Review Team meetings will be reimbursed upon request in accordance with ICANN's community support travel guidelines. Responsibilities Review Team members will have the following general responsibilities: Participate in creation of charter documents for the Review Team; Select appropriate performance indicators and benchmarks; Consider public, ICANN Organization and Board input and incorporate it as appropriate in Review Team recommendations; Determine whether additional data or analysis is needed and participate in an ensuing provider selection, if necessary, in accordance with ICANN procurement practices; Provide timely updates to the community on the status of the Review Team's work; Analyze findings; Draw conclusions based on findings, develop useful, feasible and implementable recommendations; Provide guidance on prioritization of recommendations and definition of desired outcomes; Post the Draft Report of the Review Team for public review and comment; Deliver a Final Report of the Review Team; Designate several Review Team members to participate in the implementation planning work that follows the delivery of the Final Report of the Review Team and Board action on the recommendations. Skills and Experience To compose a well-balanced Review Team, ICANN seeks members who, in the aggregate, possess the following skills and experience: Performance assessment and audits Good governance and board performance Performance measurement Process improvement Knowledge of recognized frameworks for organizational excellence Principles of accountability applicable to organizations broadly similar to ICANN Expertise with Cross Community Working Group (CCWG) Work Stream 1 (WS1) and Work Stream 2 (WS2) highly desired Desired Attributes Applicants should possess the following professional and personal attributes: Commitment and time to participate Multistakeholder community understanding Team spirit, adaptability, consensus-seeking attitude Willingness to learn Readiness to contribute Capacity to reason objectively, putting aside personal opinions or preconceptions Analytical skills Good communication skills using multiple methods and tools Methodology, Budget and Support ICANN will provide the Review Team with a clearly articulated review budget. Throughout the Review, the Review Team will periodically report on its progress related to planned schedule and budget. ICANN organizational support will be made available to the Review Team. Support will include assistance with project management, organization of work, documents and activities, and sharing of tools and best practices for conducting an effective review. English is the working language of the Review Team. Key communications and documents will be translated in accordance with the ICANN Language Services policies [PDF, 277 KB]. Review Team calls are conducted using Adobe Connect. Background The ICANN Bylaws stipulate that "The Accountability and Transparency Review shall be conducted no less frequently than every five years measured from the date the previous Accountability and Transparency Review Team was convened." That would mean that the Call for Volunteers would take place no later than 4 October 2017. However, prior to the incorporation of this review into the ICANN Bylaws, several events took place leading up to ICANN's current commitment to launch the Call for Volunteers for ATRT3 in January 2017. The information presented below provides an overview of events leading up to this Call for Volunteers. October 2012 – Call for Volunteers for the Second Accountability and Transparency Review Team (ATRT2). February 2013 – ATRT2 Review Team announced. December 2013 – ATRT2 issued Final Report [PDF, 3.46 MB] and Recommendations. June 2014 - the ICANN Board of Directors accepted all twelve ATRT2 Recommendations and directed the President and CEO of ICANN, through his designee(s), to proceed with the implementation - Resolution 2014.06.26.14. For more information on the status of the implementation activities, please visit the ATRT2 Implementation Wiki. July 2015 - In response to community concerns about workload, the ICANN Board delayed the start of ATRT3 until July 2017 via Resolution 2015.07.28.09. Note that under the Affirmation of Commitments, reviews were on a shorter cycle. January 2016 - In response to concerns raised by The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) about delaying ATRT3 until July 2017, ICANN noted [PDF, 469 KB] that the Call for Volunteers to form the ATRT3 Review Team will be launched in January 2017. August 2016 - the Co-Chairs of the Cross Community Working Group on ICANN Accountability (CCWG-Accountability) wrote [PDF, 118 KB] to the ICANN Board, presenting possible options of how to combine Work Stream 2 (WS2) efforts and the ATRT3 work, to avoid work duplication. The co-Chairs took this step because as the IANA Stewardship Transition was being completed, and the ICANN Community was engaged in WS2 to address remaining issues, many of the WS2 topics were related to issues expected to be addressed in the ATRT3, i.e. accountability and transparency. October 2016 - The ICANN Board responded. [PDF, 439 KB] that, "It is not up to the Board to dictate the scope of this important community review. While we share the concerns raised of avoiding duplication of resources, it is essential that the broader ICANN community have a voice in determining how the ATRT3 should be scoped in alignment with the Bylaws. The Board and the ICANN Organization stand ready to support the community's direction." December 2016 - the CCWG-Accountability Co-Chairs contacted the SO/AC Chairs, proposing a limited scope for ATRT3 as well as a reduced-size Review Team. They suggested that if the broader ICANN Community agrees with the proposal and rationale, the SO/AC chairs issue a public statement or letter to the ICANN CEO and Board Chair that explains why a limited scope is appropriate and indicate the level of support among the ICANN community for this limitation. ICANN organization is not aware of any collective community response to the CCWG-Accountability Co-Chair's note.

This was a true display of cooperation within ICANN's multistakeholder model. Marby spoke on a panel called "Taking Forward the Multistakeholder Debate," organized by UNESCO and supported by the Internet Society (ISOC) and ICANN. Members of At-Large, the Government Advisory Committee (GAC), and the Not-for-Profit Operational Concerns Constituency (NPOC) took part in panels, and the Noncommercial Users Constituency (NCUC) conducted a workshop. Various ICANN staff members spoke at sessions and helped at the ICANN booth, where they informed participants about ICANN. The event, with more than 250 sessions, attracted more than 1,500 participants from civil society, startups, major tech companies, academia and governments. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ICANN Supports Publication of Primer on Internet Policy The primer on Internet policy [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001PXtQk0kUjDDBRCATVfoaNZnJ6mWgXby8RbEvAOpuSn7i…] to be released in mid-May, is targeted at decision-makers from government, civil society, and businesses participating in G20 meetings in 2017.

Multistakeholder Internet governance is one of the common themes. An overview of the key current topics, actors and forums that influence digital policy was shared at the G20 Multi-Stakeholder Conference on 6 April in Düsseldorf, Germany. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The event hosted speakers from the region, including ICANN's Michael Yakushev (third from left).

The forum celebrated the 23rd anniversary of the delegation of the .ru top-level domain (TLD). Yakushev spoke at the opening session, describing ICANN's role in the Internet ecosystem since the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) transition. Unlike the preceding years, this year's event was hosted outside Moscow, in Innopolis, a newly built town near Kazan, the capital of the Tatarstan Republic. The city is expected to become one of the country's innovative technology hubs. Tatarstan, one of the most technologically developed Russian regions, became an inspiration for the delegation of the new generic TLD (gTLD) .tatar. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The round table sparked fruitful discussions on the new gTLD study. ICANN Supports New gTLD Study by Higher School of Economics in Moscow On 28 March, the Higher School of Economics (HSE) held a half-day round table in Moscow titled "Digital Transformation of Business on the Basis of Next Generation ICTs [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001PXtQk0kUjDDBRCATVfoaNZnJ6mWgXby8RbEvAOpuSn7i…]" The event's topics ranged from building a smart digital economy to 5G technologies and outer space networks.

Olof Nordling, Head of the ICANN Brussels Office and VP of Policy Development and Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) Relations, greeted the audience in Russian. He gave some great examples of how the Fellowship Program leads to "cross-fertilization" of policy talent between the community and ICANN. ICANN58 Fellows Kateryna Oliinyk (Ukraine), Alexander Isavnin (Russia) and Vladimer Svanadze (Georgia) shared their experiences and impressions, hoping to motivate and inspire potential future fellows. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ICANN Presents at Internet Governance Forum Afghanistan The first edition of Internet Governance Forum (IGF) Afghanistan took place in Kabul on 29-30 March. The event was organized by ISOC Afghanistan, and was supported by local and international players.

The ALAC fully supports 8 of the 16 recommendations proposed by ITEMS, partly supports 5, and rejects 3. The recommendations that the ALAC supports are generally about its roles in outreach, awareness raising, and participation in ICANN policy and processes. The ALAC believes many of these recommendations are already being implemented. A strong focus of the ITEMS recommendations and implementation suggestions involve significant structural changes to the At-Large Community. The ALAC believes that these proposals do not recognize existing policies that allow and support individual members. Holding views similar to the ALAC and the WP, the five RALOs jointly submitted a separate statement [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001PXtQk0kUjDDBRCATVfoaNZnJ6mWgXby8RbEvAOpuSn7i…] focused on the issues and recommendations particularly relevant to them.

To help the broader ICANN community gain insights into its important and complex work, the WG has been issuing a monthly newsletter [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001PXtQk0kUjDDBRCATVfoaNZnJ6mWgXby8RbEvAOpuSn7i…] since March 2017, providing detailed updates on its overall work progress and the development within its four work tracks. Furthermore, as part of its efforts to engage the ICANN community on the issue of geographic names at the top-level, the WG held two webinar sessions [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001PXtQk0kUjDDBRCATVfoaNZnJ6mWgXby8RbEvAOpuSn7i…] on 25 April 2017. Various organizations and individual ICANN community members presented their positions on the treatment of geographic names. The webinars served as the beginning of a discussion that will continue at ICANN59. In Johannesburg, the WG leadership team will hold an extended session to evaluate the positions presented in the webinars and to propose solutions on how to establish common ground. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ GNSO Council Comments on the ICANN FY18 Budget and Operating Plan In response to the public comment proceeding on the proposed ICANN Budget and Operating Plan for FY18, the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council approved and submitted the comments prepared by a small drafting team. At the request of the GNSO Council, the ICANN Finance team conducted a webinar [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001PXtQk0kUjDDBRCATVfoaNZnJ6mWgXby8RbEvAOpuSn7i…] covering aspects of interest to the GNSO community.

The appointees and their respective groups are: Susan Kawaguchi, Thick WHOIS Implementation Review Team (IRT); Rubens Kuhl, Translation and Transliteration of gTLD Registration Data IRT; Ed Morris, GNSO Rights and Obligations under the Revised ICANN Bylaws Drafting Team; and Julf Helsingius, Cross-Community Working Group on Internet Governance. These appointments stem from the resignations of previous liaisons or the end of a council member's term. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ New Report: Universal Acceptance Represents $10 Billion Opportunity The Universal Acceptance Steering Group (UASG), in partnership with ICANN, recently published a white paper documenting the benefits of Universal Acceptance (UA).

The findings highlight a nearly $10 billion opportunity for organizations that update their IT systems to accept all domain names and email addresses. "Our analysis shows that the main impediment to Universal Acceptance is a lack of awareness issue, rather than any technical challenges," said Andrew Kloeden, Principal at Analysys Mason. "This is not a heavy lift. The efforts required by software and application owners to implement UA are not particularly onerous; in fact, most companies treat UA issues simply as 'bug' fixes."
