- PICDRP Panelists Feedback
by Steve Chan April 20, 2017

April 20, 2017

Dear WT3 Members, Staff has recently received comments/input from two members of the PICDRP (or, Public Interest Commitment Dispute Resolution Procedure) Standing Panel. For those that are not familiar, the procedure is intended to address complaints that a Registry may not be complying with the Public Interest Commitments(s) in Specification 11 of their Registry Agreement. You can read more about the procedure here: https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/picdrp-2014-01-09-en The Standing Panel performed their first PICDRP evaluation in relation to the .FEEDBACK registry – you can review the decision here: https://www.icann.org/uploads/compliance_notice/attachment/911/serad-to-wes… While the PICDRP is within scope for this WT, it has yet to be discussed. Once the WT does begin its deliberations, this input may prove useful. Note, there may be a need to coordinate with WT2 if it is determined that the PICDRP and the requirements in the Registry Agreement need to be better aligned. Finally, I would note that both panelists have indicated their willingness to participate in future discussions or provide additional input as deemed helpful. Input received from David JA Cairns: “Dear Steve, I write as a member of the PICDRP Standing Panel, and a member of the Panel that recently provided the first evaluation under the PICDRP in relation to the .FEEDBACK gTLD. Valerie Heng has suggested that you might find comments from the members of the Panel useful for Policy development. Our decision (which is publicly available on the ICANN website) was based on paragraph 3.c of Specification 11, which is concerned with transparency in establishing and adhering to registration policies. The Complainant (‘Reporter’ in the language of the PICDRP) presented the Panel with voluminous evidence of allegedly objectionable conduct by the Registry Operator which the Reporter sought to connect to paragraph 3 of Specification 11. Sometimes the connection was tenuous, and in fact raised issues of the contractual compliance of the Registry Operator with its Registry Agreement with ICANN outside the scope of the PICDRP, or possible civil wrongs. In short, the Reporter sought to ‘stretch’ the PICDRP procedure to address conduct it was not in fact designed to address. This suggests two observations to me: 1.Paragraph 2 of Specification 11 envisages specific public interest commitments made by each Registry Operator in relation to their gTLD. In the .FEEDBACK gTLD Registry Agreement there were no specific commitments. Unless there are specific commitments tailored for each registry agreement, or the general commitments in paragraph 3 are elaborated to include a broader range of objectionable behavior (such as deceptive marketing and abuse of trademark rights as alleged in our case), then there will be frustration that the PICDRP procedure is ineffective or simply not ‘fit for purpose’ . in short, the PICDRP purports to be a dispute resolution mechanism available to defend the public interest but really only addresses a very limited range of public interest concerns. 2. Another option is to issue some guidance to potential complainants so that they can distinguish between complaints that are properly addressed to a PICDRP Panel, and complaints that should properly be addressed either directly to ICANN or to the courts. There is no point presenting a complaint to a PICDRP Panel where the Panel is powerless to address the issues raised. I hope these comments are useful to you. Yours sincerely, David JA Cairns” Input received from Scott Austin “Steve: David and I had discussed this previously and we agreed that given some of the concerns we confronted in reaching our decision we should be consistent among the members of the panel with our suggestions. I write to register my concurrence with David’s points and observations, and would also add that our course was one of “judicial restraint”, albeit after persuading my fellow panelists (and exercising presiding panelist privilege) to request additional time and make inquiry with ICANN for clarification of scope, as noted in the decision. Without our agreement to that approach and the resulting clarification, the decision could have cut a much broader (and possibly unintended) swath, broadly interpreting 3a. or even leaping the bounds of Specification 11 to other Specifications to address the wrongs complained of in the complaint. It may be in the best interest of the PICDRP process and ICANN’s effective and consistent implementation of same to open a dialogue with the full list of PICDRP panelists to identify best practices or policy element clarifications to meet the goals of the process from ICANN’s perspective, and discuss whether expansion of the scope of Section 3a. to cover Registries or developing incentives for gTLD applicants to submit self-imposed PICS anticipated by Paragraph 2 of Specification 11 should be a matter of policy change and decision focus going forward.

Emily Barabas:Karen, yes, please do John Laprise:There's always a tension: defining a community externally vs. internally Jeff Neuman:the term we used to use was "sponsored TLDs" avri doria:that was a previous round Jeff Neuman:right......and every tld that applied that round was approved. Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):agreed Alan, that is why we need much more discussion on this avri doria:but the notion of supported was not as broad as the notion of community. and the degree of support needed to be considered supported was not as deep as that required by the AGB Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):indeed Jeff Neuman:In this "round" very few were accepted. Somehow we may need to try to swing the pendulum back to a balance....if we still favor community applications Robin Gross:It is important to remember we are creating classes with special privileges in tlds, and that will impact existing rights, like IPR. Alan Greenberg:Part of the concept I think is that the rules of the TLD are governed by "the community" Alan Greenberg:DOes the TLD need to be not-for-prfit?? Anne Aikman-Scalese (IPC):not for profit reaaly limits freedom of association and freedom of speech. Jamie Baxter | dotgay:I think that Anne's suggestion makes sense to look at this from the angle of freedom of association Jeff Neuman:I do not necessarily believe that there is a need to limit to not for profits Robin Gross:The problem I see with the freedom of association argument is that it doesn't extend to preculding others from identifying with an idea also. John Laprise:What about communities in jurisdictions that persecute non-profits? Alan Greenberg:As we know, a NFP can make money and turn it back into the community. Anne Aikman-Scalese (IPC):QUESTION: What about a for-profit community of kennel clubs from around the world who want to associate and promote discussion around dog breeding? would that be bad somehow? Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):yes ALAN, true the interdependencies are yet to be explored Gg Levine (NABP):@Anne -- no, not bad. Jeff Neuman:Again a for-profit and not-for-profit is not necessarily a universal concept adopted globally nor is it consistent amongst jurisdictions. Not sure how we can make being "not for profit" as defined in the US the standard...... Michael Flemming:I agree with Anne on that aspect. We have a habit of distinguishing what the Public Interest is and what may harm the Public Interest. This is similar to our discussion of Closed Generics. But if we have to define what the social good is, then how do we even begin to define that? Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):agree Anne could be a slippery slope here as well Alan Greenberg:Is the COMMUNITY of kennel clubs for profit, or are the kennel clubs for profit? Annebeth Lange:I agree with Anne here. THis is a dangerous road to go down. Jeff Neuman:All - It is hard to talk about the freedom of association as an absolute right. All communities have some form of qualifications to get into an stay in the community. We cant say that all of them are a restriction on the freedom of association John Laprise:If we take a social scientific perspective, a community is simply a group of actors who interact and exchange, bound by an interest. Michael Flemming:@Jeff, for my own personal question, is there no sense of what defines a collective community in international law? Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):important distinguishing point Alan purpose if the classification has any privilege or advantage does need establishment IMO Anne Aikman-Scalese (IPC):@Jeff - they would still need to be a community. But ICANN should not get into the business os assessing social good. Michael Flemming:上My question doesn't need to be put into the agenda notes. Michael Flemming:Just for clarification. Jamie Baxter | dotgay:I agree with Anne. Each community may have their own purpose for applying for a community TLD. Trust is a huge one that has previoulsy been discussed, but let's not forget that the current implemenation of community TLDs took none of this into consideration. Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):NOTE Anne I was stating establishment of purpose is important not a opinion on the 'worthiness' of the purposeless essential Greg Shatan:Not a risk.... :-) Emily Barabas:The spreadsheet displayed in the center pod is also available in the wiki (directly under the heading Additional Information): https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_x_W z2AAw <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann. org_x_Wz2AAw&d=DwIFaQ&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=DRa2dX AvSFpCIgmkXhFzL7ar9Qfqa0AIgn-H4xR2EBk&m=mcQdOdDwOVoOMjlV5jJ7PxHmA06-OcovUEMy _UVHTD4&s=6wkrLcHL5m0fxsl7-TgWb6meovw2u3vzuvDLLWt7Hhc&e> &d=DwIFaQ&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=DRa2dXAvSFpCIgmkXh FzL7ar9Qfqa0AIgn-H4xR2EBk&m=mcQdOdDwOVoOMjlV5jJ7PxHmA06-OcovUEMy_UVHTD4&s=6w krLcHL5m0fxsl7-TgWb6meovw2u3vzuvDLLWt7Hhc&e= Jeff Neuman:Its all about the effective allocation of TLDs Anne Aikman-Scalese (IPC):@Cheryl - I agree with you. I really cannot see ICANN trying to decide which applicants qualify as promoting social good. Jeff Neuman:Hand up :) John Laprise:I can't see the GAC signing off on a definition of social good. Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):indeed John Robin Gross:For some, "community" is the new "beauty contest". Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):back to interdependencies in our works as well as an order of required decision order Jeff Christa Taylor:I agree with Jeff - there are multiple considerations Jamie Baxter | dotgay:i think that it is important to rememeber that despite being offered "priority", communities in the current round have actually been put through some of the hardest challeges (financially & legally) and suffered the longest delays. Nothing says priority about the current system, and if it is not addressed, or priority is taken away, it's likely a good guess that few to none will apply in the future.. Jeff Neuman:I agree with jamie Jeff Neuman:from a personal perspective Christa Taylor:Jamie +1 it has been a very long road for community applicants with a significant amount of time and resources Anne Aikman-Scalese (IPC):COMMENT: Please be very careful about limiting communities to non-profits. For example, our firm represents numerous Native American communities. These communities are not non-profit. They do have names that could operate as TLDs and they do promote cultural goals in relation to preserving indigenous language and culture. COMMENT John Laprise:Let's not forget that it's not just the road but the simple notion that applying for a gTLD is something to consider. Steve Chan:@Jamie, I'll try and see if I can get an update on that review Jamie Baxter | dotgay:much appreciate Steve. Michael Flemming:@Anne, even if a community was not an established non-profit, if the model behind the TLD itself was a non-profit or non-money making model, could that be used to tie into the model of a community TLD? Michael Flemming:Thank you for clarity. Christa Taylor:+1 Karen John Laprise:Just remember that for every "good" we want to support, there is an equal and opposite "bad" community. Conferring preference opens the door to malevolent communities too. Emily Barabas:please go ahead karen avri doria:John and some people's good is other people's evil. often the fate of many minority communitites. Emily Barabas:you have control John Laprise:Agreed Avri Annebeth Lange:Could you put the link to this presentation in the notes, Emily?

Actions/Discussion Notes: Work Track 3 SubTeam Meeting 18 April
by Julie Hedlund April 18, 2017

April 18, 2017

Dear Sub Team Members, Please see below the action items and discussion notes captured by staff from the meeting on 18 April. These high-level notes are designed to help Work Track Sub Team members navigate through the content of the call and are not a substitute for the recording. Please also see the recording on the meetings page at: https://community.icann.org/display/NGSPP/Work+Track+3+Meetings. In addition, the referenced slides are attached along with excerpts from the chat room are included below for ease of reference. Best regards, Julie Julie Hedlund, Policy Director Action Items/Discussion Notes 18 April 2017 1. Update from PDP Full Group – Avri Doria, Co-Chair -- At our last full meeting we had a discussion with the CCT-RT and got a lot of questions clarified. -- At our next meeting we will discuss a comment on the CCT-RT report. -- CC2 has begun and been translated. Encourage your groups. We have a request pending to extend the deadline for comments by 2 weeks. -- Geo names webinar is being organized. A number of speakers. We will have two sessions. Most will be at both sessions. Be sure you sign up. 25 April at 15:00 UTC and 22:00 UTC. See link above for details. To RSVP, email Geo-Names-Session(a)icann.org. -- Feel free to forward the invite to other groups. -- Drafting Teams are up and running. 2. Definition of Community & Other Follow-Up From Last Week -- Potential stumbling block is that we need a definition of what a community is before we move forward. -- Come to a decision about what it is that we are trying to achieve. Don't have a shared understanding about what it is we want to achieve and who are we trying to privilege. Is it underprivileged, noncommercial, etc.? -- Staff has started taking a look at some of the statements that have been made defining community. When we are talking about community we are starting to talk about types of community. -- One of the things to challenge us with: the optics of the concept of "community." It is how we refer to a particular group of people. To go to the process and find out that you are not a community is difficult. If it is the words specifically in ways that clearly define a group it sends a strange optic. Maybe we need to think of whether to select a different word. -- Part of the issue is that there are multiple types of communities - commercial versus noncommercial for example. The challenge is how do we resolve issues if we have multiple groups claiming to be the community for group X. I think we need to be really open in terms of the classes of community. -- Might need to make sure that we have consensus on the principles. -- In line with those who are looking for a broad definition. One of the principles could be freedom of expression which invokes freedom of association. -- Keep in mind the lack of data for communities. Don't think we can answer the question of whether to have a community since there is a lack of data on community TLD. -- Concept in the first round implies a social good in having community TLDs. It is the social good aspect that implies that they should have priority. If we go to first-come, first-served process then their may not need to be a priority. -- ICANN very specifically avoids content regulations so deciding what community is for social good is a dangerous area for ICANN to be in. Could there be a community of kennel clubs that could be for profit -- who will decide that they are a community or for the social good. Careful about limiting freedom of association, or what we think is good or not. - 28 applications in the first round, need to look at what we can learn from these applications and how well they fit with the criteria we are discussing now. This issue of how to handle appeals and objections -- Need to consider what a mess communities was for the first round. Already getting too nuanced over the is in any ways accurate. We need to go back and look at the facts of what is happening and of the applications and what happened with them. Also all the communications that were sent to the Board. Need to reconsider the concept of a community and why give it a priority in terms of what should be a community. One might even consider taking away priority. -- Ask ourselves why we are creating the concept of community? There was a notion that there was some social good -- to recognize underprivileged groups. But never codified or defined that way. -- Don't agree with the above statement. Boils down to how to allocate namespace when there is contention. One answer is having an auction, but that may not be appropriate for a public namespace. Then there were the sponsored names, which was too easy. This rounds ended up being too hard. Not sure it is right to say that TLDs should only be allocated via auction in any circumstance. In 2000 it was a "beauty contest." Need to consider the allocation methods -- a way that is not a pure "beauty contest" that will preserve the use of a namespace other than the TLD model. -- Try to come up with a plan for a structured way through this. >From the chat: John Laprise: There's always a tension: defining a community externally vs. internally Jeff Neuman: the term we used to use was "sponsored TLDs" avri doria: that was a previous round Jeff Neuman: right......and every tld that applied that round was approved.

I really cannot see ICANN trying to decide which applicants qualify as promoting social good. John Laprise: I can't see the GAC signing off on a definition of social good. Communication Applications Spreadsheet: https://community.icann.org/x/Wz2AAw -- Results of the community priority evaluation (CPE). Whether or not they failed with high-level data. -- Added overall score, individual breakouts, averages for the total outcomes and the individual core areas, links to reconsideration requests. -- Add that there is a current investigation by the new CEO looking at all the aspects about how the CPEs were done. Keep in mind what comes back from that investigation. Not sure when that is expected. -- Keep in mind needs for cultural identity when considering definition. >From the chat: Michael Flemming: @Anne, even if a community was not an established non-profit, if the model behind the TLD itself was a non-profit or non-money making model, could that be used to tie into the model of a community TLD? 3. Applicant Freedom of Expression The slides are available here under the heading Documents: https://community.icann.org/x/FbHRAw -- One of the aspects is the ability to use geographic names, that is based on international law. -- Slide 2: Background -- Slide 3: International Law -- ICCPR & UDHR, Article 19 -- ability for persons to express themselves. -- Slide 4: Issue Description -- PDP tasked with examining GAC Advice, community processes (WT 3), and reserved names (WT 2); several interlocking groups. -- Slide 5: ICANN's Procedures and Policies in the Light of Human Rights, Fundamental Freedoms and Democratic Values (CoE report). -- Slide 7: 2014 GAC Proposal on Geographic Names. -- Alternative view -- chilling effects on applicant Freedom of Expression in the Joint Civil Society Comments on the GAC proposal. -- Concern that the proposal was extremely broad. These claims that governments have over words are not internationally recognized laws. >From the chat: Jeff Neuman: It should be noted for the record that this version 3 of the GAC Subgroup has een abandoned for now Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): thanks everyone... lots more to come on this of course... bye for now Jeff Neuman: Now there is a repository proposal....but still may have similar implications

Agenda for WT3 - Tuesday, APRIL 18th @ 15:00 UTC [date correction]
by Karen Day April 17, 2017

April 17, 2017

Hi everyone, Attached please find our agenda for our meeting tomorrow, April 18th at 15:00 UTC. We will begin with a follow-up from last week’s meeting regarding how do we wish to define “Community” and any other community related issues you may care to bring up. We will then shift our focus to Applicant Freedom of Expression in preparation for the geo-names intersessional meetings on the 25th. Also, we wanted to share with you the attached spreadsheet which staff had previously prepared that captures all of the CPEs that were conducted, the results, related requests for reconsideration, and some other basic details along with the scoring (community establishment, nexus, registration policies, endorsement, and total) and calculated the average and median scores for each.

Agenda for WT3 - Tuesday, May 18 @ 15:00 UTC
by Karen Day April 17, 2017

April 17, 2017

Hi everyone, Attached please find our agenda for our meeting tomorrow. We will begin with a follow-up from last week’s meeting regarding how do we wish to define “Community” and any other community related issues you may care to bring up. We will then shift our focus to Applicant Freedom of Expression in preparation for the geo-names intersessional meetings on the 25th. Also, we wanted to share with you the attached spreadsheet which staff had previously prepared that captures all of the CPEs that were conducted, the results, related requests for reconsideration, and some other basic details along with the scoring (community establishment, nexus, registration policies, endorsement, and total) and calculated the average and median scores for each. We will look at this in more depth in one of our future calls after we pick back up the CPE topic, but please prepare your questions/comments on this as you have time. Discussion on the list is always welcome. Thanks & I look forward to speaking with you all tomorrow. Karen ____________________________ Karen L.

Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):welcome aboard Anne ðŸ˜ Emily Barabas:For those who would like to revisit the recommendations in the COE report, they are included in the slides currently in the AC room.

Saves the end game difficulties we wish to avoid. Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):depends from my POV Anne Aikman-Scalese (IPC):I guess it was not under the heading of GAC Consensus Advice - it was just a recommendation for full consideration: Paul McGrady:@Avri - agree that it behooves us to take it seriously in our process, but we also can't let the GAC instruct policy to the GNSO. Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):yes to clarity Gg Levine (NABP):@Robin: I agree that there is a need for greater clarity.

Anne Aikman-Scalese (IPC):right Alan - Applicant Support does not currently apply - but should it for non-profits or other types of community applicants we want to encourage as a matter of public interest?

Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):well said @Avri Rubens Kuhl:The only supported application for the 2012-round still in play happens to be a self-defined community application that failed CPE, .kids.

Actions/Discussion Notes: Work Track 3 SubTeam Meeting 10 April
by Julie Hedlund April 10, 2017

April 10, 2017

Dear Sub Team Members, Please see below the action items and discussion notes captured by staff from the meeting on 10 April. These high-level notes are designed to help Work Track Sub Team members navigate through the content of the call and are not a substitute for the recording. Please also see the recording on the meetings page at: https://community.icann.org/display/NGSPP/Work+Track+3+Meetings. In addition, the referenced slides are attached along with excerpts from the chat room are included below for ease of reference. Best regards, Julie Julie Hedlund, Policy Director Action Items/Discussion Notes 10 April 2017 1. Community Issues: Community Objections, Community Applications, Community Priority Evaluations (CPE) a. Council of Europe Report: https://rm.coe.int/CoERMPublicCommonSearchServices/DisplayDCTMContent?docum…. Review of presentation from last call and discussion on issues raised in report. -- Similar to GAC advice, but doesn't constitute GAC advice per se. No endorsed by the CoE. -- Need to give the CoE report strong consideration even if it is not GAC advice. See: https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/gac-to-icann-15mar17-e…. -- CoE Report Recommendations at: https://rm.coe.int/CoERMPublicCommonSearchServices/DisplayDCTMContent?docum…) 1) Clear consistent definition of "community" (slide 7): -- Agree that there is a need for clarify. Probably the number one irritant. Some were clearly community and some were not. -- Recommendations go to the issues that caused concern. -- Right of assembly and association as a fundamental right -- affects our definition. Previously, the test defined what was considered a community. To consider for future rounds whether a points-based test is the right way to do this. -- One of the problems is there was no clarity on how wide the community had to be. Too much discretion on those judging. -- What is the public interest objective we are trying to achieve? Want some level of certainty. Sets a level of expectations and controls on what a TLD can do. >From the chat: Paul McGrady: GAC Consensus Advice applies to the Board unless the Board votes it down. There has been no notice of an up or down vote yet by the Board, so the best we can say about the content in the Copenhagen Communique is that it might be binding on the Board someday. avri doria: Right but if we know something is advice, or likely to be advice, we ought to consider it carefully and deal with the issues brought up. Saves the end game difficulties we wish to avoid. Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): depends from my POV Anne Aikman-Scalese (IPC): I guess it was not under the heading of GAC Consensus Advice - it was just a recommendation for full consideration: Paul McGrady: @Avri - agree that it behooves us to take it seriously in our process, but we also can't let the GAC instruct policy to the GNSO. Anne Aikman-Scalese (IPC): from the GAC: "Community-based gTLD applications: Following the Council of Europe's submission to theGAC at ICANN 57 of their report “Applications to ICANN for community-based new gTLDs: Opportunities and Challenges from a Human Rights Perspective”, a presentation of thereport's recommendations was provided by one of the authors. The GAC expresses support for these recommendations going forward for further consideration by the NewgTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP Working Group." Paul McGrady: Robin - is it a new right or is often already the right of likeminded people to assemble? Paul McGrady: This is great. It sounds like there may be some different views on how to fix it, but it doesn't sound like anyone is saying the way we did it last time doesn't need fixing. Emily Barabas: For more detail on the CPE, see AGB beginning on p193, section 4.2.3: https://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/agb/guidebook-full-04jun12-en.pdf Steve Chan: Regarding the last bullet, registration requirements related to communities is captured in Spec 12 of the Registry Agreement and PICs are in Spec 11. 2) Community Priority Evaluation (slide 8): -- Always keep the big picture in mind when considering the details. -- If we decide that there are certain types of applications we want to prioritze -- how do we do that (subject that comes later). -- Need a definition of "community" in any case. Consider reducing the costs for CBAs for future gTLD rounds: -- May be a Work Track 1 topic re: differential fees. Is this a category where we would recommend them. Consider whether to have means testing, but differentiate communities that are for profit and those that are not-for-profit. -- Have clear timelines and definitions of the terms. -- How can we encourage more community applications? >From the chat: Rubens Kuhl: I think this a topic for applicant support... Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): yup Paul McGrady: But the "true communities" vs "not true communities" sorting that was just suggested begs the question. If they are "not true communities" they presumably they won't get past our (soon to be) revised definition and test. Alan Greenberg: I think that community appications and applications from developing economies are really two different issues. Perhaps some overlap. Anne Aikman-Scalese (IPC): right Alan - Applicant Support does not currently apply - but should it for non-profits or other types of community applicants we want to encourage as a matter of public interest? Anne Aikman-Scalese (IPC): OR should we think about Community Applicants who meet certain guidelines getting support from Auction Proceeds? Either re-evaluate the scoring system and points to lower the bar or develop a new process altogether for assessing community applicants: -- Do we agree with this recommendation? -- Calling it "lowering the bar" is a prejudicial way to do it. No nuances could be captured -- make the test and results more reasonable and statistically valid. -- When you talk about special rights it really is a redress in many cases for persecuted communities. -- Different understanding of what we are trying to achieve. -- It is not only the nuance, it is also a set of what are reasonable expectations. Don't know if we will need examples or ranges. One thing that may be useful is to go through the CPE responses and what things did people lose points for. -- Board has requested a complete review of how the CPE judgment was done. >From the chat: Rubens Kuhl: The only supported application for the 2012-round still in play happens to be a self-defined community application that failed CPE, .kids. Paul McGrady: Supporting non-profit applications is very different than picking winners and losers based upon whether or not they are commercial communities. Emily Barabas: For a summary of Community Applications, outcomes, and related reconsideration requests, see https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/58735963/Community%20Appli… Trang Nguyen 2: The review that Avri just mentioned is the subject of this Board resolution: https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2016-09-17-en. There was a question regarding this review at the second Public Forum in Copenhagen and John Jeffrey's response can be viewed here: http://schd.ws/hosted_files/icann58copenhagen2017/60/I58CPH_Thu16Mar2017-Pu… (page 11 of the transcript). Full registry conditions...should be published (slide 8, last bullet) -- This one is already accomplished. b. Do “costs" of community applications outweigh any “benefits” from the mechanism? -- Don't think we achieved what we were trying to achieve because some thought applications that should have gone through didn't. -- Don't know how we measure the cost. -- Seems like circular logic if we can't agree what we are supporting. We need to define. >From the chat: avri doria: that the benefits of supporting communities is an essential part of the requirements of a corporation in the public interest. that overweighs most cost.

Rotation of meeting times for WT3
by Karen Day April 5, 2017

April 5, 2017

Dear Members of Sub-Pro WT3: As you all are aware, we had to cancel this past week’s meeting at 03:00 because of lack of participation. As this is not the first time this has happened, after looking at the makeup of our membership, the PDP leadership has decided that it would be best if we drop the 03:00 from our rotation and continue forward rotating only between 15:00 and 20:00 UTC. SO/AC support staff will modify our meeting invitations as needed. In addition, you will shortly be receiving an invitation to our make-up meeting next week based on the results of the current doodle poll. I will be on Spring Break / Easter vacation next week, but Robin will be leading the continuing discussion on Community related topics. Thanks! Karen ____________________________ Karen L.
