Studienkreis
by Roberto Gaetano Sept. 27, 2013

Sept. 27, 2013

I made the mistake of not taking notes while the meeting was going on, so there are details that I do not remember, please feel free to add/correct what is needed. This year, the format has been slightly different. With the exception of the first session, there have been no formal presentations, but rather short introductions by resource persons followed by wider discussion and Q/A among all participants. Fadi Chehadé was supposed to attend only part of the first day, but changed his plans and remained for the second day as well, indicating that he was extremely satisfied about the discussion and the contribution by the participants. He also answered specific questions about the ICANN plans. The first session was about the status of the Internet in Italy. Antonio Amendola (Senior Advisor to Deputy Minister for Economic Development) presented the apologies of the Deputy Minister, Antonio Catricalà, who has been unable to attend. Several personalities (see the attached programme) have presented different aspects of the Internet in Italy. I am not aware if the slides of the presentations are available for distribution. Now the coordination on Internet matters is ensured by the Ministry of Economic Development, while in the past different ministries like for instance the Ministry of Telecommunications and the Ministry of Industry had partial responsibility on it. The engagement of the Italian government on the digital agenda has been stressed by several participants. Fadi has reported about his meeting with the Deputy Minister Catricalà in Rome the day before, in which the potentially important role that Italy can play in the Internet governance matters has been discussed. This session has been closed by the presentation of the .IT by the Director of the Institute of Informatics and Telematics, an institute depending from the Italian top research institution, the CNR (National Council of Research). The second part of the afternoon was opened by Fadi, with a description of the challenges that ICANN is facing and the way he plans to address them. The key point that he has addressed is ICANNs equal multi-stakeholder model, that has to guarantee that all stakeholder have not only a voice, but equal voice in the process. Then a session on Internet Governance was planned. However, due to the wide impact that the Snowden case had on all participants, the discussion has focused almost only on privacy vs. security issues. My personal impression is that the vast majority of the participants were critical about the principle of limiting the privacy and controlling the data exchanged on the Internet even if this could address security issues like, for instance, detecting potentially illegal activities. But, as I said, this is just my personal opinion having listened to the contributions. One key point of the discussion has been the role of the different stakeholders in shaping the legislation and keeping a tight control to ensure that rights are preserved. Fadi commented that this is another example of the need for a multi-stakeholder model. The first session of the second day addressed the issue of the introduction of new TLDs. The different resource persons brought the perspective of their stakeholder community: Registries, Registrars, Governments, IP, Business. Although I was there representing PIR, I realized that there were no other resource persons speaking for the user community, so I raised also the issue of the scarce information available to registrants, that are by and large unaware of the impact of the new TLDs. The impact has been debated at length during the whole morning. It has been recognized that there will be a big change in the marketplace, not only because of the number of new TLDs, but also because the vertical integration blurs the distinction between registries and registrars. This will require a rethinking of the GNSO structure. The GNSO Review was planned for this year but is likely to be postponed until we can appreciate better the impact of the new TLDs in the Internet community and in the multi-stakeholder model. Fadi commented that he changed the organizational structure of ICANN to address the complexity of this problem. To a specific question, he answered that he is confident to be able to announce in Buenos Aires that the first TLDs are operational. David Maher had the difficult task of bringing the meeting back to order after lunch. In his keynote speech he addressed some legal issues related to the development of the Internet in 2013. I hope that the text of his presentation could be available. The last part of the meeting saw some changes in the agenda, combining the discussion on ATRT2 with the future development in Internet networks. This is the part of the meeting that I remember least, but if I am not mistaken there has been a discussion about accountability in terms of accountable to whom, quoting again the point made the previous day about ICANNs legitimacy coming from the consensus of the stakeholders, and therefore the ultimate accountability has to be to the stakeholders. Next time I promise I will take notes!!! Cheers, Roberto

ICANN 2013 Nominating Committee Announces Selections - Welcome New ALAC Selectees!
by ICANN At-Large Staff Sept. 4, 2013

Sept. 4, 2013

Dear All, The ICANN 2013 Nominating Committee has announced its selections for nine leadership positions. Congratulations to all! Welcome to the ALAC, Rafid, Beran and Leon (cc'd to this message)! Rafid, Beran and Leon have been added to the appropriate At-Large mailing lists, given their Confluence wiki credentials, and been sent information on At-Large and the ALAC to help them get up to speed to begin their new roles at the end of the 48th ICANN Meeting in Buenos Aires. Please see the full announcement below: ** ICANN 2013 Nominating Committee Announces Selections 2 September 2013 The 2013 ICANN Nominating Committee (NomCom) has completed its selections for nine leadership positions within ICANN, listed below for each ICANN body, in alphabetical order by family name: ICANN Board of Directors Cherine Chalaby<http://www.icann.org/en/groups/nomcom/bios-02sep13-en.htm#cherine-chalaby>, Africa Bruno Lanvin<http://www.icann.org/en/groups/nomcom/bios-02sep13-en.htm#bruno-lanvin>, Europe Erika Mann<http://www.icann.org/en/groups/nomcom/bios-02sep13-en.htm#erika-mann>, Europe ALAC Rafid Fatani<http://www.icann.org/en/groups/nomcom/bios-02sep13-en.htm#rafid-fatani>, Asia/Australia/Pacific Islands Beran Dondeh Gillen<http://www.icann.org/en/groups/nomcom/bios-02sep13-en.htm#beran-doneh-gillen>, Africa Leon Sanchez<http://www.icann.org/en/groups/nomcom/bios-02sep13-en.htm#leon-sanchez>, Latin America/Caribbean Islands GNSO Council Daniel Reed<http://www.icann.org/en/groups/nomcom/bios-02sep13-en.htm#daniel-reed> (Non-Contracted Party House) Thomas Rickert<http://www.icann.org/en/groups/nomcom/bios-02sep13-en.htm#thomas-rickert> (Contracted Party House) ccNSO Council Celia Lerman<http://www.icann.org/en/groups/nomcom/bios-02sep13-en.htm#celia-lerman> - Latin America/Caribbean Islands Those selected will take up their positions after the end of ICANN's Annual General Meeting, which will take place during the ICANN Public meeting scheduled for November 17-21, 2013, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The NomCom is charged with recruiting and selecting a portion of ICANN's leadership. The NomCom is mandated to ensure that overall ICANN's leadership is diverse in geography, culture, skills, experience, and perspective. The basic criteria is that selectees are people of integrity, objectivity and sound judgment, can support decision-making within groups, can work effectively in English, have an understanding of ICANN's mission and operation, are committed to its success, experienced in world affairs, contribute to cultural, professional and geographic expertise, and can work long and hard as volunteers in the global public trust. Balancing Confidentiality with Transparency Discussing the 2013 Nominating Committee results, Yrjö Länsipuro, the Chair of the 2013 NomCom, shared the following: I am very happy to report that the 2013 NomCom reached a unanimous decision about the entire slate of selectees at our meeting in Durban, South Africa, immediately after the 47th ICANN meeting in that city. There were 110 candidates, a record number reached only once before (2003). This number reflects a growing interest for ICANN leadership positions, and also the strong outreach efforts by the 2013 NomCom. I want to thank all candidates and encourage those whom we could not select this time, to keep up their interest in ICANN. The 2013 NomCom was committed to striking a new balance between the imperative for confidentiality and protecting the privacy of the candidates, with the need to ensure that the NomCom processes are up to ICANN standards of openness and transparency. Accordingly, while maintaining strict confidentiality of candidate specific information, we held NomCom meetings in Beijing and Durban that were open to all community members, both in person and online. We also issued monthly progress report cards of our work to all constituencies and stakeholder groups represented on the committee. Last but not least, I want to thank all NomCom members, and ICANN staff supporting the NomCom, for their commitment to a year of very hard work and carrying it through with persistence, in a cooperative, constructive and collegial spirit. Regional Breakdown As noted above, the 2013 NomCom received 110 Statements of Interest from candidates all over the world (27 female and 83 male), during its open nomination period from 7 November 2012 to 15 May 2013. The regional breakdown of this year's candidates is: * 12 from Africa * 29 from Asia/Australia/Pacific * 33 from Europe * 18 from Latin America/Caribbean * 18 from North America For more information about the NomCom, please visit http://nomcom.icann.org/ *** The link to the announcement is available at: http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-02sep13-en.htm.
