CROPP review for August call
by Wolf Ludwig July 26, 2016

July 26, 2016

Dear all, as discussed repeatedly over the last months and at our monthly call tonight, our concept and practice for the annual CROPP over the past years needs to be reviewed for 2017. As repeatedly stated before and according to our concept so far, we always dedicated our 5 travel slots per year to EuroDIG which was considered to be one of the most important annual events on the European level dealing with IG issues. And this concept and practice was not contested until recently (2016). Key elements and criteria for our annual CROPP selections were: Concentrate on candidates / members from the SEE region to allow them to participate at EuroDIGs (while being funded by ICANN/CROPP; ISOC Europe had a complementary funding scheme for this since 2014, EuroDIG offered an own funding program lately for 2016). Other criteria for EURALO’s CROPP selection were: * avoiding "duplications" (not the same candidates than last year),   * focusing on candidates from the SEE region (who usually do not have the means  to attend by their own),   * preferably selecting candidates not from existing ALSes but potentially new ones in the region.   * like previous years when we created a sort of precedence, to give one slot to Armenia (by avoiding duplication from last year).   It was in 2016 only when we slightly modified the above criteria by considering incoming new ALS candidates from Western countries as well (Austria and Serbia) and a candidate from Romania. Meanwhile there was some discussion why we always focus our 5 CROPP slots on EuroDIG only (what was not contested before) while not considering other events in the region (as other RALOs do)? And there were several good to pragmatic reasons for this so far like language diversity in Europe what makes it difficult to attend a meeting in a national language. On the other hand, there are only very few cross-European IG events like EuroDIG, ICANN-Studienkreis, RIPE meetings or the annual re:publica faire in Berlin/Germany where English is a working language as well – besides the inaugural SEEDIG meeting in 2016. These are the simple reasons why we focused on EuroDIG so far. As announced at our last Helsinki GA end of June, the EURALO Board and leadership will review this concept and discuss modifications for 2017. At tonight’s call we didn’t have enough time to discuss this in detail. Therefore we decided to prepare the CROPP 2017 debate as a next key issue for the agenda of our August monthly call. Your comments and ideas are welcome.

!! 3 hours left!! Call for Candidates - ALAC Liaison to the CSC
by ICANN At-Large Staff July 14, 2016

July 14, 2016

Dear All, On behalf of Alan Greenberg, Chair of the ALAC, the call for candidates for the ALAC Liaison to the Customer Standing Committee (CSC) is now open. Interested members from the At-Large community should send their 1) expression of interest and 2) resume, curriculum vitae, or biography, to staff(a)atlarge.icann.org<mailto:staff@atlarge.icann.org> by 23:59 UTC on 14 July 2016. In their expression of interest, candidates should respond to the following: 1. Name 2. Affiliation 3. Geographic region 4. Skill set and experience (please provide additional details to the following): a. Direct experience and knowledge of the IANA naming function b. Analytical skills, ability to interpret quantitative and qualitative evidence, and capacity to draw conclusions purely based on evidence. c. Able to work and communicate in written and spoken English d. Effective communication skills e. Experience in managing and/or participating in committees (e.g. meeting coordination, reporting, and escalation) in order to contribute meaningfully to CSC processes f. Demonstrated ability in relationship management to support diplomatic discussion, consensus driven decision making, and productive negotiation 5. Other skill set or experience relevant to CSC’s work 6. Explanation of interest in becoming involved in the CSC 7. Understanding of the purpose of the CSC 8. Able to meet the time commitment<https://www.icann.org/iana_imp_docs/39-csc-candidates-qualification-require…> required to participate in the CSC 9. As ALAC Liaison to the CSC, what do you believe that your main responsibilities will be, both within the CSC and in relation to the ALAC? Please use the expression of interest template (.docx file attached) to fill out the required information. Candidates' Expression of Interest (EoI) submissions will be reviewed by the ALAC Candidate Selection Committee which will forward its preferred EoIs to the ALAC for final selection and/or ratification. BACKGROUND On 10 March 2016, the ICANN Board transmitted to the U.S. National Telecommunications and Information Agency (NTIA) a package of proposals<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/iana-stewardship-transition-pac…>developed by the international Internet community to transition NTIA’s stewardship of the IANA functions to the global multistakeholder community. One of the things that this package calls for is the creation of a Customer Standing Committee (CSC) to provide operational oversight of the performance of the IANA naming function, a role currently performed by NTIA. The scope and responsibility of the CSC is available here<https://www.icann.org/iana_imp_docs/43-csc-scope-and-responsibilities-v-v2>. The membership composition of the CSC, as specified in the package of proposals, includes one Liaison appointed by the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC), who will serve an inaugural three-year term. Liaisons shall not be members or be entitled to vote on the CSC, but otherwise shall be entitled to participate on equal footing with members of the CSC. Participation in the CSC is voluntary. The CSC is expected to perform the majority of its work telephonically and via email. Travel funding will not be provided. PROCESS The ALAC is responsible for appointing a primary and a secondary candidate that meet the qualification requirements in the expression of interest, and are geographically diverse. The ALAC should forward the Liaison candidates to the CSC for consideration no later than 23:59 UTC on 22 July 2016. The Membership Selection Process of the CSC Charter calls for due consideration to be given, to the extent possible, to form a CSC that has diversity in terms of geography and skill set. To that end, the composition of the slate will be reviewed during two points in the selection process: firstly by the RySG and ccNSO and secondly by the ccNSO and GNSO. The ccNSO and GNSO Councils will also make a decision regarding which members and liaisons will serve an inaugural three-year term. The ccNSO and GNSO Councils will notify ICANN and the appointing organizations of the final composition of the CSC. The notification will take place on or around 10 August 2016.

Today, a thriving metropolis of more than 14 million people, Istanbul is a global brand, evoking strong and appealing connotations to visitors and residents alike. The city's unique characteristics and an interest in technology motivated Kadir TopbaŞ, Mayor of the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IMM), to champion the application for two generic top-level domains (gTLDs). The two gTLDs - .ist and .istanbul - would represent the city, its residents, businesses, municipal government entities and online brands. The mayor reinforced this sentiment at the launch event for these two gTLDs: "It is a privilege to live in Istanbul. Now it will be a privilege to have an Istanbul-branded domain name. Individuals, organizations as well as international brands will contribute to the marketing efforts for Istanbul." ICANN processed the application for the .ist and .istanbul gTLDs, and IMM became the registry operator for both In mid-2014. In January 2016, through the Trademark Clearing House, registrations opened to trademark owners for a period of one month. In March, a limited registration period allowed local organizations such as government institutions to register their domain names. In April 2016, the landrush period for the .ist and .istanbul domains began. Both gTLDs became generally available for registration in May 2016. Both the registry and registrar communities supported a widespread marketing campaign in Turkey that included print, billboard, online and social media advertising. The efforts were a success and helped generate interest in the .ist and .istanbul domains. Since the launch, the domains now number more than 20,000. The future for both gTLDs looks promising. According to Burkay Yapagcioglu, Director of Marketing at Turkish registrar Nics Telekomunikasyon: "Registrants see the .ist and .istanbul extensions as an investment opportunity for local search and believe they reflect Turkey's prestige on Internet." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Watch Wrap-Up of First Policy Forum in Helsinki ICANN's Duncan Burns speaks with Board Chair Steve Crocker and ICANN CEO Göran Marby.

ICANN initiated and led the project. However, the academy was largely powered by volunteers from the Polish Internet community who shared their time and expertise on Internet-related topics. Each meeting's agenda included two 45-minute presentations on topics suggested by community experts, followed by discussions. The topics ranged from human rights issues to privacy protection to intellectual property rights on the Internet. Presenters also shared a case study on how an electric power plant was compromised via cyberattacks. ICANN gave an update on the New gTLD Program to increase the awareness of this initiative in Poland. Sessions accommodated both in-person and remote attendees, and a key group of participants attended multiple sessions. The feedback for the project was overwhelmingly positive, despite inconvenient evening hours. The academy's organizing committee will complete an initial evaluation of the program, and based on the feedback, will organize another event with new topics and speakers. The idea behind the Polish Internet Academy is to offer Polish Internet enthusiasts a forum for learning about Internet-related issues, including the possibilities and the downsides of Internet usage. The organizers hope to begin cooperating with established Polish Internet organizations and to reach out to the broader public. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ICANN CEO Göran Marby Speaking at EuroDIG 2016 EuroDIG 2016 Draws Record Numbers As an institutional partner of the European Dialogue on Internet Governance (EuroDIG [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001mHxiWPO2kRYdJmsWjeuT7obGET7gSqjxfJjwYNlRVsTV…] ICANN contributed to the preparation of the 2016 EuroDIG, held in Brussels from 9-10 June 2016.

When you've used the Internet to look up something, you've relied on the Domain Name System, or DNS, to give you the information you requested. A security technology called Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC) protects Internet users against attacks that can result in forged DNS responses. DNSSEC validation ensures that DNS information hasn't been modified during transit.
