IGO-INGO Curative Rights PDP WG
by Susan Kawaguchi April 4, 2018

April 4, 2018

Dear IGO-INGO Curative Rights Policy Development Process Working Group members, I write as the GNSO Council Liaison to this Working Group, to circulate a recommendation from Dr. Heather Forrest, GNSO Chair, which I endorse and support. She and I both hope that the proposed approach can be a useful path forward in assisting the group to ascertain and develop consensus (if any) on the six options under consideration relating to the handling of IGO jurisdictional immunity issues where a registrant who has lost a UDRP or URS proceeding against an IGO proceeds to file a court claim against that IGO. You will find details of the recommended approach in the attached Straw Man Paper (prepared by ICANN staff at Heather’s request) and accompanying Annex. I will be very grateful if everyone can take a moment to provide feedback as to whether you support the suggested approach or not, since this will allow us all to see if the approach may be workable. As the Working Group has a session coming up next week at ICANN61 (on Wednesday 14 March from 1700-1830 Puerto Rico time), the recommended approach also includes a suggestion for how to organize that session. In brief, the recommendation is: · Instead of a regular Working Group meeting or open community session, as has been the Working Group’s practice in recent ICANN meetings, the ICANN61 session will be run as a form of “open office hours”, where any and all Working Group members are invited to discuss their views and questions on the topic of IGO jurisdictional immunity with me, including (and especially) the six options. · ICANN policy staff will be on hand, to provide background information and process advice, and to assist me with taking accurate notes of the session. · The session will not be recorded, to encourage frank sharing of views (note: this is the model that was adopted for a different group relatively recently to try to break an impasse in that group). · Since not everyone will be able to attend the ICANN61 open office hours and, more importantly, because some Working Group members may prefer to provide their views in private, I will (with ICANN staff assistance) hold additional 1:1 or small group conversations (as you may prefer) after ICANN61 – this will most likely be done through Adobe Connect and/or a conference phone bridge. · Following these office hour sessions, I will (with ICANN staff assistance) prepare a report for the Working Group on the discussions that took place. That report should form the basis for an initial designation of consensus levels for each of the six options by Phil and Petter. · While a non-anonymous poll may be useful at some later stage in this iterative process of finding consensus (consistent with the requirements in the GNSO Working Group Guidelines), it is not necessary at this present time. Thank you – and on behalf of Heather, thank you also for taking the time to provide me with any and all feedback you may have in light of the procedural path forward noted in this message.

Our sincere hope is that this model will be implemented alongside the ICANN-developed Proposed Interim Model for GDPR Compliance. The Accreditation Model can be found here: <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.ipconstituency.org_ assets_docs_WHOIS-2520Access-2520Accreditation-2520Process-25201.3-255b1-255 d.pdf&d=DwMFAg&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=DJ69mAe-idEhp AMF1nu2x6c2w3xl7xb5cjS_7sB4h6Y&m=2B8W8Arbme-D4u-B_TRTbN1ysc44yNrgdHI9xYiXehQ &s=ZVAEQxooXzT86rLVPfHTxmzU0WSDnjHfiAcifwTNcmk&e=> http://www.ipconstituency.org/assets/docs/WHOIS%20Access%20Accreditation%20P rocess%201.3[1].pdf[ipconstituency.org]. We welcome any questions or feedback on the proposed Accreditation Model, put forward as a strawman to facilitate broader community-wide efforts to develop an accreditation system proposal. We had hoped to convene a community-wide call swiftly after ICANN 61, but the absence of Adobe Connect has made facilitating community discussion and input difficult. However, with the stop-gap solutions being put into place, we hope to convene a call to discuss Accreditation Model development within the next week or so. Developing an Accreditation Model for access to non-public WHOIS data is a critical yet-to-be-developed element of the interim GDPR compliance model, and as Goran noted in his letter to DPAs, the community has achieved consensus that something must be finalized and implemented to assure the appropriate functioning of a gated/tiered/layered access WHOIS system. Again, we hope that the Accreditation Model proposal we are sharing can act as a starting point for the community to make quick progress in this respect. Please send any input on this matter to <mailto:3amcomments@gmail.com> 3amcomments(a)gmail.com as soon as possible, with a copy to <mailto:internet@winterfeldt.law> internet(a)winterfeldt.law. This will help us make sure all the input provided is received and appropriately captured. Again, we hope to convene a community call to facilitate continued discussion on this issue next week, so we would love to receive your feedback ideally before the community session! Thank you for your input and timely engagement in this vital aspect of our ongoing work around GDPR and WHOIS!

Board-GAC Dialogue on IGOs
by Corwin, Philip March 13, 2018

March 13, 2018

I post this in my capacity as a WG member, not a co-chair. The Board and GAC just discussed the issue of IGOs and this WG. The relevant portion of the transcript is below. I have been clear in the past that the issue of IGO access to curative rights processes is a very high level one within ICANN, and that the failure of this WG to reach consensus on a compromise approach that can at least be adopted by GNSO Council risks the matter being resolved in another manner other than that of the PDP WG. >>MANAL ISMAIL: THANKS, GORAN. AND AGAIN, I THANK -- I THANK ICANN PEOPLE FOR THE CONSTRUCTIVE DISCUSSION, AND ALSO I THANK MY GAC COLLEAGUES FOR SHOWING FLEXIBILITY AND WILLING TO FIND A CONSTRUCTIVE WAY FORWARD, WHICH WAS REALLY HELPFUL AT THE END OF THE SESSION; TO FIND AN AGREED WAY FORWARD. AND WE'LL KEEP FOLLOWING UP WITH ICANN ORG ON THIS, OF COURSE. SO WITH THIS, WE CAN NOW MOVE TO GAC QUESTIONS. AND AGAIN, MAYBE WE CAN TAKE THEM IN REVERSE ORDER AS WELL. SO WE CAN START WITH THE IGO PROTECTIONS, BECAUSE THIS IS JUST ONE QUESTION. AND THEN WE GO TO THE GDPR. I SEE NODDING, SO... SO HERE, IN A LETTER OF 22nd DECEMBER TO DONUTS, 2017 TO DONUTS, INCORPORATION, CONCERNING EUCLID UNIVERSITY THE BOARD VICE CHAIR AND THE PRESIDENT OF THE GLOBAL DOMAINS DIVISION NOTED THAT THE PROTECTIONS FOR IGO ACRONYMS REMAINS A TOPIC OF DISCUSSION BETWEEN THE GNSO AND THE GAC AND IS BEING FACILITATED BY FORMER ICANN BOARD MEMBER BRUCE TONKIN. SO CAN THE BOARD CONFIRM THAT THE FACILITATED PROCESS IN THIS REGARD HAS NOT PROGRESSED SINCE THEN, SINCE ICANN58, AND INDICATE WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS? THANK YOU. >>CHRIS DISSPAIN: THANK YOU, MANAL. >>MANAL ISMAIL: YES, PLEASE. >>CHRIS DISSPAIN: CHRIS DISSPAIN. THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION. YES, IT HAS PROGRESSED. THE SITUATION IS THAT THE FACILITATOR -- THE FACILITATION THAT BRUCE TONKIN DID LED TO AN UNDERSTANDING THAT ICANN ORG WOULD LOOK INTO CREATING WHAT WE'RE SHORTHANDING AS A WATCH LIST WHICH WOULD ENABLE IGOs TO BE INFORMED IN THE EVENT THAT SOMETHING THAT WAS AN ACRONYM OF THEIR NAME WOULD BE -- HAD BEEN REGISTERED. THAT -- THAT'S -- ICANN ORG ARE WORKING ON THAT AND ON FIGURING OUT HOW TO DO THAT. IN PARALLEL TO THAT, THE GNSO WAS RUNNING A CURATIVE RIGHTS MECHANISMS PDP, AND WE HAD DECIDED THAT -- WE ALL AGREED, REALLY, THAT THE CURATIVE RIGHTS PDP NEEDED TO BE COMPLETED BEFORE, SO THAT WE COULD EFFECTIVE LAUNCH EVERYTHING AT THE SAME TIME. SO THAT YOU COULD RELEASE -- UNRESERVE THE ACRONYMS, RELEASE THEM, AND THEN THE WATCH LIST WOULD PROVIDE IGOs WITH NOTIFICATION, AND THEN THEY WOULD HAVE THE CURATIVE RIGHTS TO FALL BACK ON SHOULD THEY NEED THEM. THE BOARD LEARNED TODAY THAT THERE MAY BE SOME ISSUES WITH THE -- WITH GNSO POLICY DEVELOPMENT PROCESS. IT APPEARS TO HAVE HIT A BIT OF A PROBLEM IN REACHING CONSENSUS, AND IT MAY BE THAT THAT PDP, IN FACT, WILL FAIL TO REACH CONSENSUS, IN WHICH CASE, IF I UNDERSTAND IT CORRECTLY, WE WOULD NEED TO FIND A SOLUTION, ANOTHER -- ANOTHER WAY. JUST -- AT THE MEETING WE JUST HELD WHICH WAS WITH THE CONTRACTED PARTIES HOUSE, WE AGREED TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH THE -- WITH THE CONTRACTED PARTIES HOUSE, OR, RATHER, WITH THE REGISTRARS; SEE IF WE COULD FIND A WAY OF SHORE CUTTING THE SYSTEM TO A WAY OF A CURATIVE RIGHTS MECHANISM SO WE CAN MOVE FORWARD ON THIS. SO THINGS ARE MOVING. THEY'RE JUST MOVING SLOWLY....TO FINISH OFF, JUST TO SAY THAT WE -- WE GOT SOME INFORMATION TODAY, WHICH I'VE NOW TOLD YOU, AND WE ARE SEEING IF WE CAN FIND A WAY AROUND THAT. AND BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY THAT I'M AS KEEN TO SORT THIS OUT AND GET RID OF IT AS YOU ALL ARE. THANK YOU. >>WIPO: THANK YOU, CHAIR. I JUST WANTED TO FOLLOW ON WHAT CHRIS SAID BY WAY OF THANKING CHRIS AND OTHERS INVOLVED FOR MOVING THIS PROCESS ALONG. WE'VE BEEN PLEASED TO SEE THAT IN TERMS OF THE FULL-NAME PROTECTION, WE BELIEVE WE'VE MADE A LOT OF PROGRESS. AND WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF WORK TO GO TO NARROW THE GAP, AND WE'RE HOPING THAT WE CAN RELY ON ICANN FOR A LITTLE BIT OF ASSISTANCE IN THAT RESPECT. SO I JUST, AGAIN, WANTED TO RECORD THAT WE'RE PLEASED TO SEE THAT MOVING IN A GOOD DIRECTION. AND THEN JUST TO ALSO PICK UP ON WHAT CHRIS SAID, WE HAVE HAD NOT ONLY SERIOUS CONCERNS WITH THE INTERIM REPORT OF THIS GNSO WORKING GROUP, WHICH HAS SIGNALED THAT IT WOULD COME OUT WITH RECOMMENDATIONS WHICH SQUARELY CONFLICT WITH GAC ADVICE, BUT ALSO IN THE PROCESS BREAKDOWN IN THE WORKING GROUP ITSELF. AND OBVIOUSLY THAT'S AN AREA WHERE I THINK WE'RE ALL LOOKING TO SEE WHAT UNFOLDS. THANK YOU. (Emphasis added) Philip S.

PLEASE READ: IGO-INGO Curative Rights session at ICANN61
by Mary Wong March 13, 2018

March 13, 2018

Dear Working Group members, Following on Susan’s email (below), please note that the ICANN61 session for our Working Group – scheduled for Wednesday 14 March from 1700-1830 Puerto Rico time – will be repurposed as office hours, for any Working Group member (either present on site in San Juan or remotely) to meet with Susan, to discuss your views on the IGO jurisdictional immunity issue (including the six options currently under consideration). To facilitate the office hours, and if you are interested in meeting with Susan, please be so kind as to fill out this Doodle poll to indicate which 10-minute slot you prefer: https://doodle.com/poll/ikwa9hp8cd7sar4h. If you will not be physically here but nevertheless wish to meet with Susan, please email me or Steve privately to provide us with a phone number that Susan can reach you at, for your preferred 10-minute slot. As Susan has noted, additional office hours can be scheduled after ICANN61 to accommodate those Working Group members who are not available during the Wednesday time frame. Thank you. Cheers Mary & Steve From: Susan Kawaguchi <susankpolicy(a)gmail.com> Date: Friday, March 9, 2018 at 14:37 To: "gnso-igo-ingo-crp(a)icann.org" <gnso-igo-ingo-crp(a)icann.org> Cc: Heather Forrest <haforrestesq(a)gmail.com>, Mary Wong <mary.wong(a)icann.org>, Steve Chan <steve.chan(a)icann.org>, "gnso-chairs(a)icann.org" <gnso-chairs(a)icann.org> Subject: [Ext] IGO-INGO Curative Rights PDP WG Dear IGO-INGO Curative Rights Policy Development Process Working Group members, I write as the GNSO Council Liaison to this Working Group, to circulate a recommendation from Dr. Heather Forrest, GNSO Chair, which I endorse and support. She and I both hope that the proposed approach can be a useful path forward in assisting the group to ascertain and develop consensus (if any) on the six options under consideration relating to the handling of IGO jurisdictional immunity issues where a registrant who has lost a UDRP or URS proceeding against an IGO proceeds to file a court claim against that IGO. You will find details of the recommended approach in the attached Straw Man Paper (prepared by ICANN staff at Heather’s request) and accompanying Annex. I will be very grateful if everyone can take a moment to provide feedback as to whether you support the suggested approach or not, since this will allow us all to see if the approach may be workable. As the Working Group has a session coming up next week at ICANN61 (on Wednesday 14 March from 1700-1830 Puerto Rico time), the recommended approach also includes a suggestion for how to organize that session. In brief, the recommendation is: • Instead of a regular Working Group meeting or open community session, as has been the Working Group’s practice in recent ICANN meetings, the ICANN61 session will be run as a form of “open office hours”, where any and all Working Group members are invited to discuss their views and questions on the topic of IGO jurisdictional immunity with me, including (and especially) the six options. • ICANN policy staff will be on hand, to provide background information and process advice, and to assist me with taking accurate notes of the session. • The session will not be recorded, to encourage frank sharing of views (note: this is the model that was adopted for a different group relatively recently to try to break an impasse in that group). • Since not everyone will be able to attend the ICANN61 open office hours and, more importantly, because some Working Group members may prefer to provide their views in private, I will (with ICANN staff assistance) hold additional 1:1 or small group conversations (as you may prefer) after ICANN61 – this will most likely be done through Adobe Connect and/or a conference phone bridge. • Following these office hour sessions, I will (with ICANN staff assistance) prepare a report for the Working Group on the discussions that took place. That report should form the basis for an initial designation of consensus levels for each of the six options by Phil and Petter. • While a non-anonymous poll may be useful at some later stage in this iterative process of finding consensus (consistent with the requirements in the GNSO Working Group Guidelines), it is not necessary at this present time. Thank you – and on behalf of Heather, thank you also for taking the time to provide me with any and all feedback you may have in light of the procedural path forward noted in this message.

ICANN61: GNSO Sessions How to Get Organized and Remote Participation Details
by Nathalie Peregrine Feb. 27, 2018

Feb. 27, 2018

Dear all, The one-stop wiki page for all your Remote Participation queries is now available. This wiki page covers remote participation details for all GNSO open and public meetings. In addition to this, ICANN meetings’ team has put together a new ICANN meeting website which allows you to download all GNSO-related meetings to your inbox calendar in one go. 2 LINKS TO BOOKMARK NOW: ICANN61 Meeting Schedule[61.schedule.icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__61.schedule.icann.org_…> GNSO Remote Participation wiki page[community.icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_x_…> Step 1 – Create a profile and your personalized ICANN61 schedule Go to the Meeting Schedule webpage and create a profile and login. Every session on the schedule can be selected and added to your individual schedule by clicking the Add box to the bottom right of each meeting, this adds it to your individual schedule which you can then email to yourself or add to your calendar. See next step. Step 2 - There are two ways to import your schedule into Outlook: once you’ve added all your chosen meetings to “My Schedule” go to Export. 1. Importing creates a one-time snapshot of your schedule and copies it into Outlook. If you subsequently make changes to your Pathable calendar, they will not be reflected in Outlook. 2. Subscribing creates a live feed of your schedule in Outlook. Outlook checks for changes every few hours and updates your calendar appropriately. * For Outlook calendars: http://support.pathable.com/knowledgebase/articles/81449-moving-your-schedu…<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__support.pathable.com_kn…> * For Google calendars: http://support.pathable.com/knowledgebase/articles/1313-moving-your-schedul…<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__support.pathable.com_kn…> Step 3 All Adobe Connect rooms (which can be found on the session information on the Meeting Schedule<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__61.schedule.icann.org_…> and on the GNSO Remote Participation wiki page<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_x_…>) will provide audio streaming only Adobe Connect room microphones will not be enabled.

by George Kirikos Feb. 12, 2018

Feb. 12, 2018

Hi folks, FYI, attached is my Reply to the January 16, 2018 Response from the Co-Chairs (which responded to my January 11, 2018 appeal document). The appeal is now in the hands of the GNSO Council Chair (or her designated representative), and perhaps ultimately GNSO Council. Sincerely, George Kirikos 416-588-0269 http://www.leap.com/
