by ICANN At-Large Staff Oct. 24, 2017

Oct. 24, 2017

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) today announced the opening of applications for the Global Indigenous Ambassador Program. Two Indigenous Ambassadors will be selected from underrepresented indigenous communities to attend ICANN61. Applicants must be members of unserved or underserved tribal or native communities and meet the ICANN Fellowship Program criteria<https://www.icann.org/fellowshipprogram>. Selected participants will receive travel, hotel, and per diem for the ICANN61 Conference in Puerto Rico, to be held 10-15 March 2018. “ICANN will be better equipped to support the next generation of the global Internet community through the inclusion of a broader and more diverse base of knowledgeable constituents.” Said Loris Taylor, President & CEO, Native Public Media, “This is an exciting opportunity for two Indigenous Ambassadors to learn about ICANN and the At-Large Community, representing the best interests of Internet end users." The deadline for submitting applications is 17 November 2017. * Access your application here: Global Indigenous Ambassador Application<https://goo.gl/forms/jnjFBpaKFYhM94Rz2> ICANN wants participants to learn as much as possible during ICANN61. As part of the program, Indigenous Ambassadors will: * Work with an indigenous mentor for the duration of the conference. * Attend the ICANN Newcomer meeting with a Public Responsibility Support team representative who will facilitate the session to ensure inclusion. * Participate in the Fellowship morning sessions for the duration of the conference to gain an understanding of and experience with ICANN and the multistakeholder community. * Participate in the newcomer Onboarding Program both prior to coming to ICANN61 and during ICANN61. * Submit a detailed report within 30 days after the conference – describing activities and assessing the Ambassador's experience. These reports help ICANN evaluate future Fellowship efforts. This round of the program will launch at around the ICANN60 Public Meeting in Abu Dhabi in October 2017. In the previous round, applications for ambassadors, which was expanded to global indigenous communities, were received from nearly all continents. The two ICANN60 Ambassadors are from the United States and Bolivia, and the Indigenous Mentor is from Brazil. ICANN encourages anyone who is qualified to apply for this special opportunity!

Geographic Names - Call for Volunteers for WT 5
by Wilkinson Oct. 23, 2017

Oct. 23, 2017

> FYI - CW >> >> The following announcement came out this morning: https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2017-10-22-en <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2017-10-22-en>. Please forward on to anyone interested. >> >> Call for Volunteers: GNSO New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP WG Work Track 5 (Geographic Names at the top-level) >> In Brief >> The New gTLD Subsequent Procedures Policy Development Process Working Group seeks volunteers to serve on a new sub team, known as Work Track 5, which will focus exclusively on the treatment of geographic names at the top level. This issue is one of the topics in the WG's charter <https://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/new-gtlds/subsequent-procedures-charter-21…> [PDF, 196 KB]. >> >> What This Team Will Do >> Work Track 5 will focus on developing proposed recommendations regarding the treatment of geographic names at the top-level. The Work Track may make recommendations on policy and/or implementation related to 2-letter codes, 3-letter codes, short form and full country and territory names, city/state/region names, and other geographically significant names. >> >> How This Team Will Work >> ICANN WGs use transparent, open processes. The meetings of this Work Track will be recorded, transcribed, and the recordings will be made available to the public. The mailing list for the Work Track will be archived publicly. The group will collaborate using a public workspace for draft materials and all final work products and milestones will be documented on the WG's wiki <https://community.icann.org/display/NGSPP/New+gTLD+Subsequent+Procedures+PD…>. In addition to a Terms of Reference, the Work Track will be governed under the GNSO Working Group Guidelines <https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/annex-1-gnso-wg-guidelines-08apr11-en.pdf> [PDF, 349 KB] as well as the GNSO PDP Manual <https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/annex-2-pdp-manual-24jun15-en.pdf> [PDF, 260 KB]. >> >> The Work Track will be structured to encourage broad and balanced participation from different parts of the community, and includes joint community Work Track leadership from ALAC, GAC, ccNSO and GNSO. As with the other Work Tracks, WT5 leadership will be coordinated by the PDP WG co-chairs. >> >> How to Participate >> There are two ways to volunteer: >> >> · Members – anyone interested can volunteer to join the Work Track as a member, regardless of whether they are members of the ICANN community. Members are expected to actively contribute to mailing list conversations as well as meetings – it is anticipated that the Work Track will meet on a weekly basis via teleconference. Members are expected to provide essential input to the process, orally or through written input. Members will be required to provide a Statement of Interests (SOI <https://community.icann.org/display/gnsosoi/New+SOIs>). >> >> · Mailing list observers – for those who are merely interested in monitoring the Work Track's conversations, there is the possibility to sign up as a mailing list "observer" which offers read-only access to the mailing list. Mailing list observers will not be permitted to post, will not receive invitations to the various meetings or calls of the Work Track and will not have to complete a Statement of Interest. At any point in time, a mailing list observer can join the Work Track as a member simply by informing the GNSO Secretariat. >> >> In addition, there may be opportunities to provide input through public consultations and public comment processes. Note, joining Work Track 5 as a member or mailing list observer does not require joining or participating in the full Working Group, though it is encouraged. >> >> How to Join >> If you are interested in joining Work Track 5 as a member or mailing list observer, please fill in the sign up form <https://goo.gl/forms/Pgl7NMbocc1Qz7pq1>. If you are having trouble using the sign-up form, please email gnso-secs(a)icann.org <matilto:gnso-secs@icann.org> for assistance. >> >> All members and observers will be listed on the PDP WG's wiki page. >> >> Next Steps >> The call for volunteers will be circulated as widely as possible in order to ensure broad representation and participation in Work Track 5. This initial call will remain open until 20 November. Volunteers are also welcome to join the Work Track at any time after 20 November. Members who join the Work Track after work has begun will be responsible for reviewing all Work Track deliberations, agreements, and documents so that they are prepared to participate fully. Regular online meetings will be scheduled in accordance with the Work Track's work plan, which it is expected to develop as one of its first tasks. >> >> Drafting of WT5 Terms of Reference is currently underway with the WT leadership and will be finalized in the near future. >> >> Background >> In 2005, the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) began a Policy Development Process (PDP) to consider the introduction of new gTLDs. The two-year PDP process resulted in a set of 19 GNSO policy recommendations for implementing new gTLDs. In order to implement the policy recommendations of the GNSO, a number of draft Applicant Guidebooks (AGBs) were developed by ICANN staff in consultation with the community. In June 2011, ICANN's Board of Directors approved the final AGB and authorized the launch of the New gTLD Program. >> >> The New gTLD Program application window opened on 12 January 2012 and a total of 1930 complete applications were received. The first set of Initial Evaluation results were released on 22 March 2013, followed by the first set of new gTLD delegations on 21 October 2013. >> >> All applications have now completed the evaluation process and as of mid October 2017, there are over 1,200 gTLDs delegated. Although the 2012 round is ongoing, efforts to examine the round have already begun, which included the initiation of the GNSO’s PDP on New gTLD Subsequent Procedures in early 2016. >> >> Although the original charter <https://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/new-gtlds/subsequent-procedures-charter-21…> [PDF, 196 KB] approved by the GNSO Council put the topic of geographic names at the top level in Work Track 2 dealing with legal and regulatory issues, the full PDP Working Group approved the creation of this new Work Track 5 to focus exclusively on the treatment of geographic names at the top level. >> >> >>

Fwd: [So-ac-sg-cleaders] Data Protection and Privacy Update - ICANN Blog by Akram Atallah, Theresa Swinehart
by Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond Oct. 19, 2017

Oct. 19, 2017

Hello all, since privacy is a major topic for EURALO ALSes - here's an update. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [So-ac-sg-cleaders] Data Protection and Privacy Update - ICANN Blog by Akram Atallah, Theresa Swinehart Date: Thu, 19 Oct 2017 00:45:16 +0000 From: David Olive <david.olive(a)icann.org> To: so-ac-sg-cleaders(a)icann.org <so-ac-sg-cleaders(a)icann.org> https://www.icann.org/news/blog/data-protection-and-privacy-update *Data Protection and Privacy Update* ata protection privacy update 753x425 18oct17 en There has been a lot of activity since our last update <https://www.icann.org/news/blog/data-protection-and-privacy-progress-update…> on 11 September. Here's a brief recap on where we are and a look-ahead at upcoming activities. On 4 October we held a webinar to discuss data protection/privacy activities related to the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) <http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/reform/index_en.htm>. If you missed it, we have published the presentation, audio recordings and transcripts in multiple languages, and responses to unanswered questions on our data protection/privacy page <https://www.icann.org/dataprotectionprivacy>. The user story matrix can also be found on this page. As previously communicated, we engaged the European law firm Hamilton to provide an independent legal analysis, that will be developed in phases. We are pleased to note that the first part of the initial independent legal analysis was published <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/gdpr-memorandum-part1-16oct17-e…> [PDF, 252 KB] today, which includes an appendix with the general questions we provided to Hamilton as "food for thought" in analyzing GDPR in relation to gTLD registration data. 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. On the engagement front we continued to interact with a range of stakeholders to raise awareness about ICANN's privacy- and data protection- related work. We participated in the annual international DPAs conference <https://www.privacyconference2017.org/eng/index.html> in Hong Kong, the European Commission's High Level Group on Internet Governance and the CENTR General Assembly <https://www.centr.org/events/upcoming-events/58th-centr-general-assembly.ht…> in Brussels, where GDPR was a major topic of discussion. These events provided a further opportunity to hear many perspectives and learn about existing practices in this area. Next up is ICANN60 <https://meetings.icann.org/en/abudhabi60>, which will be held in Abu Dhabi, and is just around the corner. We encourage you to attend the cross-community "General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Implications for ICANN" <https://schedule.icann.org/event/CbHj/cross-community-session-general-data-…> session, which is planned for Thursday, 2 November at 10:30am local time (UTC +4). Remote participation is offered if you can't be there in person. *A Look Ahead* ICANN, like many other organizations, is looking at the new regulation to see how it is relevant and determine how best to comply with the new framework with respect to the data we collect and process for internal and external services, as well as the implications for the ICANN community and its policies and procedures more widely. As a reminder, this legal analysis is intended to serve as building block for community discussions about how to approach GDPR issues in the domain name space. Here's where we need help from the multistakeholder community: Please review the initial legal analysis and provide feedback. This includes identifying possible questions, and how best to interact with data protection agencies and others to get to the next step of the analysis. It will be helpful to receive your feedback at the earliest opportunity, so as to inform the upcoming discussions at ICANN60, and to feed into future iterations of the legal analysis. Either reach out to us directly or email gdpr(a)icann.org <mailto:gdpr@icann.org>. For those of you traveling to Abu Dhabi, we wish you safe travels and look forward to seeing you in person. If you aren't making the trip, we hope you will participate remotely. David A. Olive Senior Vice President Policy Development Support Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN)

Fwd: New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP WG: Work Track 5 on Geographic Names at the Top-Level

Good afternoon: As many of you will have learnt, I have been appointed as a co-chair of this subgroup about Geographic names. Since this issue has a long history in ICANN, I have written the attached notes to outline the main lines and suggest certain directions for solutions.

This email is in regards to the topic of geographic names at the top-level, recently discussed during the cross community sessions at ICANN59. In addition, we want to state our agreement with the GAC which in its Communique for ICANN59 stated that any further process of policy review and development should: (a) continue to allow all stakeholder groups to participate equally; (b) take into account the history and rationale of the arrangements currently in place; and (c) apply an evidence-based policy approach to any proposals for future arrangements in dealing with Geographic Names as Top-Level Domains. >>> >>> Pursuant to those discussions and the recommendations provided by the GAC, we are establishing a new Work Track 5 (WT5) within the GNSOs New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP Working Group. This new WT5 will focus exclusively on geographic names at the top-level. In order to promote broad participation from across the community, we are seeking to establish a shared leadership model in WT5. We are requesting that one representative from each of the ALAC, ccNSO, GAC and GNSO be nominated (through whatever mechanism is deemed appropriate by each group) to serve as a co-leader of WT5 by August 18, 2017. >>> >>> We are aware that some members of the community are concerned about this topic being addressed under the auspices of a GNSO PDP WG. That said, we are also aware of recommendations from the recently concluded CCWG on the Use of Country and Territory Names that the work should be consolidated into a single community-wide initiative moving forward as opposed to having each SO and AC working on recommendations independently. >>> >>> As such, we are strongly recommending that the leaders of WT5 operate WT5 similarly to a cross community working group, ensuring that each SO and AC participate equally to achieve consensus on any recommendations proposed by the Work Track. While we believe that ultimately, it will be up to WT5 itself to draft the terms of reference for WT5 and determine its structure and operating procedures, we recommend that the co-leaders discuss these issues with the PDP co-chairs and staff first in order to frame the issues and structure for the group. Setting up this arrangement within the GNSO PDP seems to strike a balance between establishing an inclusive and collaborative structure while maintaining the ability to develop policy as determined by ICANNs Bylaws. After the co-leaders are appointed and have had a chance to discuss plans, we will issue a call to each of the SOs and ACs seeking volunteers from the community to participate in WT5. >>> >>> We hope that you support our proposed multi-stakeholder approach to work with the community in addressing a topic that is clearly of great importance to many. We hope to be able to organize an introductory meeting the first week of September 2017, in order to allow the co-leaders to come to agreement on WT5s draft terms of reference . Finally, while we as co-chairs of the overall PDP WG support WT5s independence, we nevertheless remain available to facilitate and provide assistance to the co-leaders as the need or desire arises. >>> >>> If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. >>> >>> Best regards, >>> Avri Doria and Jeff Neuman
