Call for Volunteers
by Alan Greenberg Nov. 14, 2017

Nov. 14, 2017

The first meeting of the Work Track on Geographic Names as Top Level Domains (referred to as WT5) will be held tomorrow, 15 Wednesday at 20:00. Everyone who has an interest in the subject should consider joining the group. See https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2017-10-22-en for further information and https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSesX279zqBZfuxQ9HEuEqJ3NH2p2xNO0jQ… to join. In addition, the ALAC is seeking one WT Member from each region to be the regional liaison to this WT. Although not formally representing the views of the region or the ALAC, the presence of a liaison will ensure that each region has at least one person who plans to closely follow and actively participate, and that the ALAC has at least five people with whom to coordinate our related activities. Anyone volunteering for the position of liaison must be registered as a Member of the WT (see above) and must commit to actively participating. All WT discussions are carried out in English at this time. The ALAC will try to ensure that among the liaisons, we have a wide range of views and positions to ensure that the views of At-Large are heard. Those wishing to become a regional liaison for WT5 should send an expression of interest (EoI) to At-Large Staff <staff(a)atlarge.icann.org> no later that Monday, 20 November at 23:59. The EoI should include: a) Confirmation that the applicant has already registered as a Member of WT5; b) the region of At-Large that the applicant is affiliated with; c) a summary of the applicant's views (no more than a few sentences) on the use of geographic names as TLDs. These could include (but are not limited to): i) freedom of speech should allow any use of geographic names without permission; ii) geographic names should be fully controlled by the government(s) associated with the regions; iii) don't care about the details, but the result must be balanced to ensure governments are reasonably satisfied and there is reasonable access to geographic names by companies and others. d) Subject line should include WT5 LIAISON. All views are allowed, but the ALAC selection committee and the ALAC will attempt to ensure that all views have a voice. Alan Greenberg Chair, ALAC

EURALO - RIPE MoU Signing Ceremony
by Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond Nov. 3, 2017

Nov. 3, 2017

Dear EURALO members, Wednesday 1st November 2017 was a historical day as EURALO signed a cooperation agreement (MoU) with Réseaux IP Européens (RIPE), the Regional Internet Registry that serves our region. This will allow for more cooperation between the RIPE community focussing on allocation of IP addresses, and the region's At-Large Community. At this stage we are opening the door to making European users more aware of the work that RIPE does, whilst opening a channel for end user feedback to RIPE. Please be so kind to find the final text of the MoU attached, noting that this is the text that received no objection from anyone in EURALO. I am therefore delighted to announce the news of this milestone. I hope that it will enable multiple, constructive synergies between our communities and organisations. EURALO and RIPE have been very successful in collaborating indirectly as founder partners of EuroDIG, the European Dialogue on Internet Governance, At this stage, I would need to thank many people, including At-Large Staff, and you, dear colleagues, for being constructive in bringing this milestone forward. In my short speech yesterday, I thanked the people and At-Large Structures that were physically present at the 29 March 2007 signing of the EURALO MoU with ICANN. That was the very beginning of our region's coordination. But one person in particular deserves our strongest appreciation and thanks, and that's Wolf Ludwig. He held EURALO together for so many years. He did all of the groundwork, with colleagues in the region, to make sure EURALO was a Founding Partner of EuroDIG, in effect, the European IGF. He constantly made EURALO significant on so many levels, both inside ICANN and in outside Internet Governance circles. Wolf is a key architect of this organisation. On a personal note Wolf is also one of my mentors at ICANN. When I initially got involved at ICANN, Wolf suggested that I'd be EURALO's IPv6 "expert" - and that step was the first step into all of the different positions that I held in this organisation and his welcoming attitude allowed me to have all the wonderful experiences that I have lived so far in this amazing organisation. Thus I wanted, with your permission, to suggest dedicating the signing of the EURALO-RIPE MoU to Wolf. He could unfortunately not join us in person in Abu Dhabi due to health reasons, but he sure was in all of our minds when the MoU was signed. Thank you, Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond EURALO Chair

In order to facilitate deliberations on this topic, the attached draft framework has been created to form the basis for the brainstorming exercise planned for ICANN60. Please have a look and share with the list whether any additional possible mechanisms should be added to the framework, any additional questions should be asked and/or any other feedback you have in relation to this exercise. Based on your feedback as well as further review by the leadership team, a final version will be shared ahead of the meeting. For those that are planning on participating remotely, we’ll aim to set up Adobe Connect in such a way that you can add your feedback via the AC room. Alternatively, feel free to send your input to staff ahead of the meeting and we will make sure it gets added.

WG: [GAC] ICANN publishes legal advice on WHOIS and GDPR
by Wolf Ludwig Oct. 24, 2017

Oct. 24, 2017

Just FYI -- with regards, Wolf Cathrin.BAUER-BULST(a)ec.europa.eu sent Thu, 19 Oct 2017 12:56: >Dear all, > >In case not yet seen, ICANN has just published the legal advice<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/gdpr-memorandum-part1-16oct17-e…> announced a while ago, accompanied by a communication<https://www.icann.org/news/blog/data-protection-and-privacy-update> which reads in part: > >"[…] This first memo focuses on potentially challenging areas with existing requirements for registries and registrars to provide open, publicly available WHOIS services. It provides a general overview of key concepts in the GDPR (e.g. personal data, consent, the role of data controllers and processers and data protection authorities, etc.) and how these concepts relate to gTLD WHOIS services. >The memo highlights the complexity of these issues in the domain name space, and concludes that the current open, publicly available WHOIS services cannot remain unchanged. The WHOIS system has to become adaptable to address the GDPR from the European perspective, as well as other changing regulations around the world. >Since GDPR will likely effect how WHOIS data is displayed, it could impact our ability to maintain a single global WHOIS system. In turn, this will likely impact either ICANN's agreements or its ability to enforce contractual compliance of its agreements using a single and consistent approach. In the short term, we need to work together to understand the scope of this impact and find the right balance between maintaining the current WHOIS services and compliance with local laws.
