Proposal to Extend CC2 Deadline
by Jeff Neuman May 11, 2017

May 11, 2017

All, Last week the Avri and I received a formal request from the Governmental Advisory Committee to "consider an extension of the deadline for public comments to the Community Comment 2 (CC2) questionnaire." In light of the extensive nature of the questionnaire as well as the desire to get as many responses as possible, Avri and I are inclined to agree to this request. In order to be fair, we believe the extension should be applied to everyone, not just the GAC. Working backwards, it is our desire to have a summary of all of the public comments to discuss at ICANN59 at the end of June. The document deadline for that meeting is 15 business days prior to the meeting (beginning of June). In order to give staff some time to compile the summary in time for the document deadline, we are proposing May 22, 2017 as the new date for comments to be due. This would be a 3 week extension for the entire community. I know this is asking for quick turnaround, but please let us know by no later than April 20th if you have any strong objections to this proposal. Otherwise, we will let the community know about the extension on April 21st. Best regards, Jeffrey J. Neuman Senior Vice President |Valideus USA | Com Laude USA 1751 Pinnacle Drive, Suite 600 Mclean, VA 22102, United States E: jeff.neuman(a)valideus.com<mailto:jeff.neuman@valideus.com> or jeff.neuman(a)comlaude.com<mailto:jeff.neuman@comlaude.com> T: +1.703.635.7514 M: +1.202.549.5079 @Jintlaw

Annebeth Lange:Good evening from a snowfilled Oslo Jeff Neuman:2 minutes Karen Day (SAS):Happy Rainy Monday everyone Jeff Neuman:ok - 1 minute warning Karen Day (SAS):Sara, not me Vanda:yes Jeff Neuman:Sorry Sara Phil Buckingham:Hi Jeff , 2 minutes Donna Austin, Neustar:I have the WT1 call in my calendar for tonight at 8pm PDT (0300 UTC). Is that correct? Jeff Neuman:yes Phil Buckingham:We have another on Thursday 27 April @21.00 UTC . We will continue with closed generics to start to get some consnsus within the group on what we are all agreed is a complex and contentous subject . Karen Day (SAS):Robin covered it all Karen Day (SAS):Thakns Vanda:good point kavouss Alexander Schubert 2:Thanks Kavouss: Community defibnition was WAY to narrow in the last round.... Alexander Schubert 2:Geographic names: Currently only GNSO and GAC are working on it. No one else. The CCTN WG just eliminated itself - and I don't see resurrection is an option. Anne Aikman-Scalese (IPC: "social good" is a very narrow subset of freedom of expression and association in a community. It's questtionable whether ICANN wants to be in the business of determining what is and is not a purpose of "social good". Annebeth Lange:Well, the UCTN will produce a Final Report after having gone through all the input to the Interim Report. Phil Buckingham: Sorry I nothing to further to say. Annebeth Lange:The comment period ended 21st April for the UCTN. THe staff is working on a summary of the comments Steve Chan:CC2 public comment extension announcement here: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_news_ann… Donna Austin, Neustar:The RySG is making good progress and are currently reviewing. not sure what our target date it. Donna Austin, Neustar:is Emily Barabas:The Google Doc is available here: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__docs.google.com_docume… Emily Barabas:the content is the same as in the pod here Kavouss Arasteh:Alan+1 Karen Day (SAS):Have to drop for a few. Will be back in 5 min. Kavouss Arasteh:yes Greg but why with reduced price? Kavouss Arasteh:Still I do not understand why price should be reduced Paul McGrady:+1 Greg Kavouss Arasteh:we should follow the principle of equiutable access Kavouss Arasteh:Please register my objection with the concept of reduced costs Greg Shatan:i didn't say prices should be reduced. I just said that the issue of "cost" could refer to both price per registration and to reducing costs by reducing the need to engage in defensive registration. Kristina Rosette (Amazon Registry):Yes, you did. My point is that it wasn't clear to me how it's consistent and I doubt I'm the only person who may not be sure. Greg Shatan:That said there has been some inequitable pricing aimed at getting higher prices for defensive registrations. Vanda:Greg. defensive registration I beleive will increase qith the initial price reduced. more people can register a brand name if the cost is reduced. Alexander Schubert 2:Can't hear Kavouss speaking. I am on Adobe only. Can it be that the phone lines aren't looped into the Adobe Audio? Vanda:so the need of defensive registration will grow Vanda:Alex, I am only at adobe and hear him quite well Anne Aikman-Scalese (IPC: 1.1(c) in the ByLaws carves out measures that are consistent with the Mission . For example, 1.1(c) apparently does not prohibit GAC Safeguards to certain strings. Kristina Rosette (Amazon Registry):I like the idea of identifying the comment requests, stating them at the beginning, and identifying the recommendations to which they apply. The recommendation-specific requests would then be only that - recommendation-specific. Steve Chan:I think Kavouss' point is at least in part, taken into account in the third paragraph of the high-level feedback? Alexander Schubert 2:Vanda: I think for th majority of run of the mill gTLDs defensive and speculative registrations are the main revenue stream. Sadly. Vanda:you right, but is not reducing price that this will change Greg Shatan:Vanda, you may be right when it comes to "penny pricing.". But I don.t think using price as a barrier to abusive registrations is the solution, since the practical effect (and possibly the intent) is to milk brand owners like cash cows. Greg Shatan:Alexander, you may be right. Which would be quite sad. Either way those sales are to registrants with little or no intent to use the domains for websites, emails, etc. At that point it's just speculators and suckers.... avri doria:Kavouss understood you thought a group parralell to the gTLD-IRT could do it. That is possible but someone else would have to charter it. Paul McGrady:a predictable process with knowable deadlines and subject matter guidelines Kavouss Arasteh:PICs may normally be changed Julie Hedlund:@Jeff: Staff tried to capture that in the notes. Vanda:Greg. me neither. price is not a barrier itself in a razonable prices but reducing prices can growth the defensive application, but also price is not the key point to reduce defensive applications. Alan Greenberg:But if they are "normally changed", the intent of the Rec is minimal Vanda:Alan + 1 Anne Aikman-Scalese (IPC:What if PICs arise in response to GAC Consensus Advice? We don't want a TLD to be "hung up" because it is unable to make a new PIC of record. Jon Nevett:Anne +1 -- consensus advice or otherwise Jon Nevett:an applicant may not know of concerns with a name, so would be impossible to address in the application Robin Gross:The rules are supposed to be knowable and predictable according to the principles. If PICs can be changed, that would violate this predictability requirement. Paul McGrady:+1 Robin avri doria:what about if a review period is required for some change procedure. hadia Elminiawi:+1 Robin Jon Nevett:I am thinking about adding PICs to address a concern vs. changing them Kavouss Arasteh:You may need to talk to Mrkus and Manal Anne Aikman-Scalese (IPC:+1 Jon Julie Hedlund:@Hadia if ou are speaking we can't hear you. Alexander Schubert:MAybe there is a mike muted! hadia Elminiawi:I was speaking, and i can't hear you either now Susan Payne:yes Jeff Vanda:yes Jamie Baxter:yes Emily Barabas:@Hadia, Michelle has sent you a private chat to help troubleshoot Emily Barabas:Geo Names Webinar: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_x_… Emily Barabas:This includes presenter lineup Donna Austin, Neustar:On the GEO names, I through the background document was really helpful. Emily Barabas:and presenter slides Donna Austin, Neustar:thought not through Emily Barabas:as well as the background paper Annebeth Lange:Will it be possible for other than presenters to comment? There are a lot of presentations in these two hours hadia Elminiawi:So basically I wanted to ask if our group has to adhere to or follow or the recommendations, or do we have the choice to see things differently Emily Barabas:@Annebeth, the chat will be open throughout the session Emily Barabas:and there will be a question and answer at the end Annebeth Lange:Thanks, Emily Annebeth Lange:Thanks, Avri, very useful Emily Barabas:Please send us an email at Geo-Names-Session(a)icann.org<mailto:Geo-Names-Session@icann.org> to RSVP. Thanks! Emily Barabas:I think you covered everything. Thanks Jeff. Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):thanks everyone... good call today... Emily Barabas:There are only three Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):looking forward to our webinars... talk Kavouss Arasteh:Steve, Some of us have another meeting at 05,00 UTC. mAY THEN FINISH THIS MEETING NOW hadia Elminiawi:@Emily thanks Greg Shatan:03:00 UTC is very late, not very early.... :-) avri doria:anything that maks it better for one group may make it worse for another. Robert Burlingame:Thank you Jeff et all. Looking forward to the geo names webinar tomorrow. Greg Shatan:Not so good for the Eastern Americas either. Sara Bockey:It 4UTC makes it very late for many in the US Greg Shatan:+1 Sara. Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):exactly Avri Paul McGrady:+1 Avri - we have to strike the balance to ensure opportunities to participate globally. Annebeth Lange:Sorry, I have to go. Good night. Greg Shatan:It would be nice to know if we are getting a high percentage of APAC participants are making the APAC friendly call, Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):that said for me 0300 or 0400 is little difference Phil Buckingham:Kavouss - you / us Europeans can always listen to the transcripts the following morning ! Greg Shatan:Rather than numbers, how about percent. Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):bye Annabeth Sara Bockey:+1 Greg Vanda:midnigh for us Paul McGrady:+1 Alan Vanda:+ 1 ALAN Greg Shatan:Let's just make sure they are raking advantage of this, not in sheer numbers but in percentage. Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):bye for now everyone... Vanda:5:30 hours Alexander Schubert:Bye Greg Shatan:Bye all Susan Payne:But Kavouss the 1 hour chage would mean hardly anyone in the US joins and the reality is you will have almost no-one on the call. You have one call in 4 which you cannot make. If you live in Australia you have 3 in 4 you cannot attend unless you are willing to do so at very unreasonable times hadia Elminiawi:Thank you all Robin Gross:Thanks Jeff and all, bye! Katrin Ohlmer, DOTZON:bay avri doria:bye see you at 1am EDT Vanda:thanks to all!! Phil Buckingham:Thanks Jeff - great call

Actions/Discussion Notes: New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP WG 24 April 2017
by Julie Hedlund April 24, 2017

April 24, 2017

Dear WG Members, Please see below the action items and discussion notes captured by staff from the meeting on 24 April. These high-level notes are designed to help PDP WG members navigate through the content of the call and are not meant as a substitute for the transcript or recording. The MP3, transcript, and chat room notes will be provided separately. The referenced document also is attached and excerpts from the chat room are included for ease of reference. Best regards, Julie Julie Hedlund, Policy Director Actions/Discussion Notes 1. Work Track Updates Work Track 1 -- Christa Taylor: -- Sent agenda for 25 April at 0300 UTC. Continuation of RSP and costing discussions. Work Track 2 -- Phil Buckingham: -- Discussing closed generics and what to do about them in the future. Presented pros and cons. -- We have another on Thursday 27 April @21.00 UTC . -- -- We will continue with closed generics to start to get some consensus within the group on what we are all agreed is a complex and contentious subject. Work Track 3 -- Robin Gross: -- Good discussions on community applications and priority evaluations. -- Don't have a shared understanding of what we are trying to achieve with the concept of community applications. Need to come back to this concept. Is this groups of groups? Or is there some kind of social good to achieve? -- Next meeting on 02 May on 2000 UTC. Discuss more about freedom of expression and geographic name issues. -- Question: Do we know what we mean by "community"? Language, country, etc.? Answer: That is an issue that we need to focus on -- we don't have a common understanding of what we mean by "community". -- On geographic names there are many activities so it might be good to avoid overlapping or duplicative discussions to avoid conflict of definitions, objectives, etc. Helpful for their to be sharing of information and coordination. Work Track 4 -- Cheryl Langdon-Orr: -- Met last week on name collisions. That is a continuing conversation. Encourage more to join the Work Track call on 04 May. >From the chat: Alexander Schubert 2: Thanks Kavouss: Community definition was WAY too narrow in the last round...Geographic names: Currently only GNSO and GAC are working on it. No one else. The CCTN WG just eliminated itself - and I don't see resurrection is an option. Anne Aikman-Scalese (IPC: "social good" is a very narrow subset of freedom of expression and association in a community. It's questtionable whether ICANN wants to be in the business of determining what is and is not a purpose of "social good". Annebeth Lange: Well, the UCTN will produce a Final Report after having gone through all the input to the Interim Report. The comment period ended 21st April for the UCTN. THe staff is working on a summary of the comments. 2. Community Comment 2 – extended. Announcement here: https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2017-04-24-en -- GAC asked for an extension. Extend for everyone. Working backwards from ICANN59 so that a summary of the public comments could be drafted prior to the document deadline. May 22nd was the most we could extend the comment period -- a 3-week extension. Comments are due from everyone by May 22nd. -- Announcement went out and the extension will be announced to the SOs and ACs. See: https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2017-04-24-en. -- Please make sure your communities can get comments in by that date. Don't wait for the deadline if your comments are ready. Overall comments on the draft document: -- Where the comment wording is the same for several recommendations just note to which recommendation that wording applies, rather than repeating for each recommendation. -- Question: In terms of longer term impact not sure if that is a normal part of an IRT. Answer: The WG comes to its own conclusions but do have to take all views and recommendations seriously. >From the chat: avri doria: Kavouss understood you thought a group parallel to the gTLD-IRT could do it. That is possible but someone else would have to charter it. hadia Elminiawi: So basically I wanted to ask if our group has to adhere to or follow or the recommendations, or do we have the choice to see things differently. Kristina Rosette (Amazon Registry): I like the idea of identifying the comment requests, stating them at the beginning, and identifying the recommendations to which they apply. The recommendation-specific requests would then be only that - recommendation-specific. High-Level Feedback Section: -- Be more clear "To what extent is it appropriate for the Working Group..." change to "To what extent the Working Group could recommend..." Not making ourselves subordinate to that group. That second sentence has been deleted and the third sentence talks about how to interpret. -- Per "is inconsistent or conflicting..." change so that we could do something that may be different from what they produced. May be "different" is a better word? -- Looking at the overview of the relationship of the two groups. The CCT-RT recommendations go to the Board. They don't have the power to tell a WG what to do in a PDP, but the could ask the Board to reject a recommendation from a PDP WG. If we recommend something different than they recommend we should justify it to the Board and explain why. -- We can consider if implementable or not. Language "expected to implement all parts of the recommendation..." not up to them to determine what we should have to do. -- In this case the CCT-RT is using the language "should" "must" and "may" -- what we are asking is if they are going to use such words be consistent and clear in their usage. Recommendation 10: -- What is logic for "small number of brands registering a large number of domains can be reduced"? Seems to be a speculation about defensive registrations. The issue really is the issue of defensive registrations. Could be two sides to costs -- lower cost per registration or lower the need, but this is part of the substantive discussion. -- In looking at cost they are not looking at just price but also lowering investment. Clarify: Is there any substantive reason to refer to a small number of brands registering a large number of domains. Look back at the draft report on the context. Also clarify costs and fees in terms of investment. >From the chat: Kavouss Arasteh: yes Greg but why with reduced price? Still I do not understand why price should be reduced. Paul McGrady: +1 Greg Kavouss Arasteh: we should follow the principle of equiutable access Kavouss Arasteh: Please register my objection with the concept of reduced costs. Greg Shatan: i didn't say prices should be reduced. I just said that the issue of "cost" could refer to both price per registration and to reducing costs by reducing the need to engage in defensive registration. That said there has been some inequitable pricing aimed at getting higher prices for defensive registrations. Alexander Schubert 2: Vanda: I think for the majority of run of the mill gTLDs defensive and speculative registrations are the main revenue stream. Sadly.

Vanda: Greg. me neither. price is not a barrier itself in a razonable prices but reducing prices can growth the defensive application, but also price is not the key point to reduce defensive applications. Recommendation 14: >From the chat: Kristina Rosette (Amazon Registry): Yes, you did. My point is that it wasn't clear to me how it's consistent and I doubt I'm the only person who may not be sure. Recommendations 33-38 -- no questions or comments on the draft. Recommendation 39: -- Wording presumes that PICs will be available early enough that the GAC and others can comment on them. That suggests that the PICs can be changed from the original application, but it's not clear. If they are saying the PICs can be changed because of the comments then they need to be more explicit. -- Also assumes that PICs will be similar to the last round and that is not clear either. >From the chat: Paul McGrady: a predictable process with knowable deadlines and subject matter guidelines Kavouss Arasteh: PICs may normally be changed. Alan Greenberg: But if they are "normally changed", the intent of the Rec is minimal Vanda: Alan + 1 Anne Aikman-Scalese (IPC: What if PICs arise in response to GAC Consensus Advice? We don't want a TLD to be "hung up" because it is unable to make a new PIC of record. Jon Nevett: Anne +1 -- consensus advice or otherwise. an applicant may not know of concerns with a name, so would be impossible to address in the application. Robin Gross: The rules are supposed to be knowable and predictable according to the principles. If PICs can be changed, that would violate this predictability requirement. Paul McGrady: +1 Robin avri doria: what about if a review period is required for some change procedure. Jon Nevett: I am thinking about adding PICs to address a concern vs. changing them hadia Elminiawi: +1 Robin Recommendation 43 and 46 -- no questions or comments on the draft. Recommendation 47: -- At ICANN57 amended Bylaw providing rationale for GAC advice. Discussing in the GAC WG and will be finalized in ICANN59. Maybe mention. -- Why we expect the Board provide a template for GAC advice? If there is a template it should be mutually agreed. (Comment related to the substance of the recommendation. Could be a good comment from the GAC to the CCT-RT.) -- Comment is that there should be a predictable process for GAC advice. Recommendation 48, 49, and 50 -- no questions or comments on the draft. 3. Geographic Names Webinars: -- 25 April -- 1500 UTC for 120 min and 2200 UTC for 120 min. -- Presenters have sent in their materials and they are on the wiki. -- Format: Each presenter will present and then have a Q&A period. -- Can comment and chat in the chat room and this will be captured. -- Please RSVP if you haven't already. 4. Update on Drafting Teams: -- Staff sent drafts to each DT. -- Fourth category is combined with others -- predictability -- DT is looking at that the mechanisms to address change are predictable. Only one volunteer for that DT. 5. Next PDP WG Call: -- Next week on 02 May at 0300 UTC not in two weeks as that is the GDD summit. -- Reconsider the 0300 UTC time -- is it possible to make it 0400 UTC? Very difficult issue. Trying to make sure it is a convenient time for the Asia Pacific WG members. Will look back at attendance records to see if there is something we can do. -- Trying to be open and attract more people from other regions. Good to know how many we would lose on a rotation. Make sure how we balance making it better for one group makes it worse for another. >From the chat: Greg Shatan: It would be nice to know if we are getting a high percentage of APAC participants are making the APAC friendly call, Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): that said for me 0300 or 0400 is little difference Greg Shatan: Let's just make sure they are raking advantage of this, not in sheer numbers but in percentage.

Dear All, For those currently on the full group call, we are currently discussing WG member edits and comments to this document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LC-1-Z2auN2XTSJXyW34eWnGgNuuDInIOeJ1TcZ….

So maybe a correlation between the identifier and the content is – or else is not – part of maintaining consumer trust and confidence in the Internet? (This seems to be the issue raised by the Review.) I consider that if 1.1(c ) would prohibit this entirely, then GAC Safeguard strings are not allowed either but they do exist. Anne Section 1.1. MISSION (a) The mission of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (“ICANN”) is to ensure the stable and secure operation of the Internet’s unique identifier systems as described in this Section 1.1(a) (the “Mission”). Specifically, ICANN: (i) Coordinates the allocation and assignment of names in the root zone of the Domain Name System (“DNS”) and coordinates the development and implementation of policies concerning the registration of second-level domain names in generic top-level domains (“gTLDs”). In this role, ICANN’s scope is to coordinate the development and implementation of policies: • For which uniform or coordinated resolution is reasonably necessary to facilitate the openness, interoperability, resilience, security and/or stability of the DNS including, with respect to gTLD registrars and registries, policies in the areas described in Annex G-1 and Annex G-2; and • That are developed through a bottom-up consensus-based multistakeholder process and designed to ensure the stable and secure operation of the Internet’s unique names systems.

Sending to the list this time… From: Aikman-Scalese, Anne Sent: Monday, April 24, 2017 11:57 AM To: 'Rosette, Kristina'; Emily Barabas Subject: RE: [Gnso-newgtld-wg] [Ext] Re: Please Review by 24 April: SubPro Comments - CCT-RT Draft Report and Recommendations Hi Kristina, I read 1.1(c ) as not permitting any sort of regulation of unique identifiers outside the mission specified in 1.1(a), which includes whatever is need to ensure the stable and secure operation of the Internet. So maybe a correlation between the identifier and the content is – or else is not – part of maintaining consumer trust and confidence in the Internet? (This seems to be the issue raised by the Review.) I consider that if 1.1(c ) would prohibit this entirely, then GAC Safeguard strings are not allowed either but they do exist. Anne Section 1.1. MISSION (a) The mission of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (“ICANN”) is to ensure the stable and secure operation of the Internet’s unique identifier systems as described in this Section 1.1(a) (the “Mission”). Specifically, ICANN: (i) Coordinates the allocation and assignment of names in the root zone of the Domain Name System (“DNS”) and coordinates the development and implementation of policies concerning the registration of second-level domain names in generic top-level domains (“gTLDs”). In this role, ICANN’s scope is to coordinate the development and implementation of policies: • For which uniform or coordinated resolution is reasonably necessary to facilitate the openness, interoperability, resilience, security and/or stability of the DNS including, with respect to gTLD registrars and registries, policies in the areas described in Annex G-1 and Annex G-2; and • That are developed through a bottom-up consensus-based multistakeholder process and designed to ensure the stable and secure operation of the Internet’s unique names systems.

Summary below: • Recommendation 14: Requests that CCT-RT clarify how “relationship of content of a gTLD to its name” is consistent with Section 1.1(c) of the Bylaws; • Recommendations 33 & 35: Comment made about recommendation 34 (CCT to clarify how expect PDP WG to address recommendation given scope of Sub Pro WG) seems applicable here, too. • Recommendation 43: Requests CCT-RT clarify if it is recommending that applications from Global South should be subject to different application evaluation standards to ensure goals met for number of delegated strings. • Recommendation 46: added “objection-related fees” as example of “additional post application fees”.

Kind regards, Michelle ------------------------------- Adobe Connect chat transcript for Monday, 10 April 2017 Michelle DeSmyter:Dear All, Welcome to the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures WG call on Monday, 10 April 2017 at 15:00 UTC. Michelle DeSmyter:Meeting wiki page: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_x_… John Laprise:Good morning all Michael Flemming:Good evening Vanda Scartezini:hi everyone. glad to attend this meeting after some time out of the office. Vanda Scartezini:yes clearly Michael Flemming:Just closed generics this week for WT2. Michael Flemming:That is all. Christa Taylor:WT1 meeting tomorrow at 20:00 Michael Flemming:I have added a few edits to my SOI. Nothing significant, however. John Laprise:Minor, non-material edits. Vanda Scartezini:thnaks Christa. in my agenda already. Vanda Scartezini:tks Christa Vanda Scartezini:thanks Christa Jonathan Zuck:nnot yet Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):we were not doing WT updates Julie Hedlund:Lots of background noise. Reminder to mute when not speaking. Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):but ok if we do later I guess, not that WT4 has any update to make since last Plenary John Laprise:RE: Trust (apologies I'm in a loud environment)- The new gTLDS are simply extending the long tail of trust. The original gTLDs will always (barring force majeure) be "most trusted" with ccTLDs following. New gTLDs are highly unlikely to ever instill the level of trust that .com does. Trust comes from saying what you're going to do and and then doing it repeatedly, over time. We can declare the first but the execution is not our call. We don't control Trust and have little influence over it. avri doria:The fact that they have already said that should be in our considerations already. John Laprise:Are we distinguishing end user trust from organizational/system trust? It sounds like we are conflating the two. Paul McGrady:I think we may be confliating trust with consumer expectation. Trust needs to hold steady. Consumer expectations change based upon new products and services. We should distinguish between the two. Kavouss Arasteh:Avri+1 Alan Greenberg:@John, it is the jump from trust of the org to trust of ANY use of that TLD that is the difficult part.. Currently my bacnk uses a .com, and I *know* I cannot trust every .com. So the question is what is different to make me consider .bank differently, and by extension, can I presume I can also trust .doctor.. John Laprise:Thanks for the clarification: I revert to my previous assertion: Trust comes from saying what you're going to do and and then doing it repeatedly, over time. We can declare the first but the execution is not our call. We don't control Trust and have little influence over it as it pertains to end users. Donna Austin, Neustar:@Alan, with regard to .doctor, the word has many different meanings and is not just about a doctor of medicine so how do you apply trust in that context? Rubens Kuhl:It's also of notice that some restricted registries operate on a pre-registration verification system, while others verify after registration (and among those there are ones doing 100% checks, and other doing sampling) John Laprise:@Alan I agree but IMO that requires an immense public advertizing campaign to introduce and convince the public that a new gTLD is worthy of trust. Kavouss Arasteh:Why .Doctor shoul apply any other thing than Medcin John Laprise:And there's no guarrantee of success, especially if domains are not scrupulous. Donna Austin, Neustar:@John, I would argue that the absence of an immense public advertising campaign regarding the introduction of new gTLDs and explaining to consumers that they exist is one of the reasons why folks don't know whether to trust something that doesn't have .com at the end of it. John Laprise:@Donna That's part of it but the larger component is the socialization of brands and the use of the original gTLDs for two decades. John Laprise:All original Internet users _know_ the original gTLDs Kavouss Arasteh:Why there should be no tust to .com but thrust to .bank? John Laprise:@Kavous: ask end users. .com is a known quantity to them; .bank isn't. Kavouss Arasteh:Do you mean that since . com is a known quantity then there is no trust? John Laprise:No. I'm saying that if you show two cards to an end user with one saying BankofEngland.com on one and BankofEngland.bank on the other, I'm strongly guessing that there will be a large preference among end users for the former over the latter solely based on familiarity. Michael Flemming:Would, however, certain TLDs have committed to PICs if GAC did not offer advice on this? Michael Flemming:Paul took my thunder. Kavouss Arasteh:but this is contrary to what someone's statement that there is no or less trust to . com vis a vis . bank John Laprise:Trust is an end user perception, not an absolute. I'm talking about how end users actually perceive and weigh information and the role of familiarity and use. John Laprise:.com ismore familiar than .bank and people tend to shy away from the unfamiliar Christa Taylor:Makes sense and helpful. Thank-you! Christa Taylor:yes, makes sense! John Laprise:Question: we mentioned ROI earlier. Is ICANN publishing any ROI data prior to the next round? Rubens Kuhl:I have to drop now, unfortunately. Will listen for the remaining of the call when available. Drew Bagley:Thanks everyone - please spread the word about the public comment period Paul McGrady:Well done Zuck & Co. Thank you. Christa Taylor:sorry mic not connected I need a min Vanda Scartezini:I have dropped and back now Emily Barabas:list of presenters is available here: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_di… Steve Chan:Nothing to add from me Donna Austin, Neustar:Thanks Avri Emily Barabas:Nothing from my end Emily Barabas:The GAC Working Group on the Protection of Geographic Names will present Susan Payne:@Kavouss, Olga gave the expression of interest Emily Barabas:Olga is the one who signed up on behalf of this group. The presenters may vary to accomodate the different time zones. Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):bye for now then, talk again soon... Robin Gross:Thanks, Avri, and all. Bye. Please join WT3 today at 20:00 UTC on community issues Christa Taylor 2:Thank-you Phil Buckingham: thanks Avri Vanda Scartezini:my connection quite poor today Vanda Scartezini:my connection quite poor today - will comment online further.

Actions/Discussion Notes: New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP WG 10 April 2017
by Julie Hedlund April 10, 2017

April 10, 2017

Dear WG 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 PDP WG members navigate through the content of the call and are not meant as a substitute for the transcript or recording. The MP3, transcript, and chat room notes will be provided separately. The referenced slides also are attached and excerpts from the chat room are included for ease of reference. Best regards, Julie Julie Hedlund, Policy Director Actions/Discussion Notes 1. Presentation and Q&A with Competition, Consumer Choice & Consumer Trust (CCT-RT) leadership (see attached slides): -- Interim report -- still some studies in the field: DNS abuse, trademark holders, impact of things at a regional level and of parking. -- Currently in a public comment period to the end of April. Convening in Johannesburg to go over comments. -- Slides include questions from the PDP WG. Open up for discussion and get questions answered. -- CCT-RT could provide some topic prioritization, rather than policymaking. Slide 2: Macro Questions/Suggestions: -- CCT-RT's task is to submit recommendations to the Board and they are the body that would accept or reject them. The recommendations are aimed at who would be implementing them. Explains why there is more than one group associated with a recommendation. -- Different about this review: ICANN staff have asked that at least a subset of the RT remain intact to help talk about implementation. Intention to remain engaged and keep the discussion open. -- Re: conflicting outcomes, could happen. Address in implementation. -- Will consider word usage and also re: making recommendations more precise. Keeping them more granular made it easier to talk about them. Slide 3: Recommendation 10 (slide 3): Debate remains as to which PDP (RPM or SubPro). Slide 4: Recommendation 14 (slide 4): -- Survey of end users reveals risk and opportunity. Some expectation of relationship between top level domains and the usage of those domains. Talking about trying to create incentives to match user expectations -- having restriction on TLDs; using top level name as a way to navigate the web. Talk about this as something to be cautious of. -- Examples: end users going to a TLD that ended in .photography would expect a web site to have something to do with photography. Where the trust relationship exists. Not a recommendation to create mandates. Identification of a risk in consumer trust. -- By "user expectation" it was almost you know it when you see it definition. Concerns on how these expectation move into the territory of content -- that there is an expectation of content managing the expectation of a TLD word. -- The end user would know it when he or she saw it. That would be the user expectation. This was part of a larger survey on trust. Suggested that there was a user expectation that the top level domain would be an indicator of use. -- When we are talking about user trust and expectation and "semantic web" that is almost playing a cruel trick on users. You set them up with something they can trust, such as .bank, but then they get something that they don't know they can trust. How can we use the term "user trust" when there is such an unknown? Question deserves further thought. Maybe consumer education is a component as well as incentives. How to mitigate that risk looking forward without getting ICANN into content management. -- GAC is likely to say something -- to what extent do you expect that? Comments are reinforced by end user expectation. Will need to look at hard in highly regulated industries. -- How do strings become more trustworthy if ICANN gets involved in content as opposed to where we are now? What in the survey got us to enforcing compliance? There are commitments that .bank made and adhering is a function of ICANN compliance today. The recommendation is about incenting these kind of commitments. May need to think about it from a policy perspective without making it mandatory. -- The comments and statements by the GAC that have gone before are already part of the set of issues that we need to address. -- We see this expectation as a risk for future trust. >From the chat: John Laprise: RE: Trust (apologies I'm in a loud environment)- The new gTLDS are simply extending the long tail of trust. The original gTLDs will always (barring force majeure) be "most trusted" with ccTLDs following. New gTLDs are highly unlikely to ever instill the level of trust that .com does.

All original Internet users _know_ the original gTLDs Kavouss Arasteh: Why there should be no tust to .com but thrust to .bank? John Laprise: @Kavous: ask end users. .com is a known quantity to them; .bank isn't. Recommendation 33 (slide 5): -- Frustration with data availability for doing the competition analysis, safeguards, etc. There are a number of data-oriented recommendations. -- Note sure those data would be available by the time the PDP WG makes its decisions. -- High-priority items have about an 18-month time frame. Recommendation 34 (slide 6): Will understand better once we get our first DNS abuse report. So many variables that go into DNS abuse. Good to have ongoing regular data. Recommendation 35 (slide 7): Goes back to the idea of consumer trust and trying to do a cost-benefit analysis. Recommendation 36 (slide 8): Will take back to clarify what "undue" preferences means. Recommendation 38 (slide 9): No issues. Recommendation 39 (Slide 10): -- Voluntary PICs in first round came about in a complicated way. In the next round provide enough time for all members of the community to weigh in to provide the safeguard that these are in the public interest. Make sure there is plenty of time for that. -- That will require that everyone quites tinkering with the rules. >From the chat: Michael Flemming: Would, however, certain TLDs have committed to PICs if GAC did not offer advice on this? Recommendation 43 (slide 11): -- Somewhat open ended. Low application rate from the Global South. Made some attempts to understand that rate. There were some inequities. -- Recommendations for improving the outreach program, but also take a step back -- should our goal be to get more applications from the Global South, or make sure everyone who might apply finds out in time to do so. If the decision is made the applications are the priority that would require different recommendations. -- I note that you say that the Global South needs to be defined. Another term is the "developing world" or countries with "developing economies". This particular recommendation is not about targeting developing economies, but applications by businesses in developing economies. Question is deciding whether it is priority to get those applications. Recommendation 46 (slide 12): -- Correct that this is inconsistent terminology. Meant to be the same as "Global South" or "developing economies". -- Valid question as to whether recommendation would pertain to more than just operating costs. Question to consider if we want to encourage applications from the developing world. May be less relevant if application costs come down. Recommendation 47 (slide 13): Partly aimed at PDP WG is guidelines for submission to be included in the AGB -- more clarity on format for advice from the GAC. Recommendation 48 (slide 14): No questions. Recommendation 49 (slide 15): No questions. Recommendation 50 (slide 16): Will take back the PDP WG question as advice. 2. Work Track Updates: Work Track 1 (Christa Taylor): Meeting on 11 April 2000 UTC. Topics: Further discussing costs and ceilings and RSP program and Donna Austin's proposal. Work Track 2 (Michael Flemming): Meeting on 13 April at 2100 UTC to continue discussion on closed generics. Last week looked at pros and cons. Feedback was orientied more to the pros. This week look at the cons further to establish the potential harm. Work Track 3 (Robin Gross): Meeting on 10 April at 2000 UTC. Continue discussion with community issues: objections, evaluation, etc. Continue discussion of Council of Europe report. Continue discussion of issues raised on the last call re: costs versus benefits. Work Track 4 (Cheryl Langdon-Orr): Meeting on 20 April at 2000 UTC. Continuing conversation on name collisions. 3. Drafting Teams: -- Email lists are activated. -- First drafts will be appearing over the next week or so. -- Clarify that the update that the first thought drafts will go to just those Drafting Teams, not yet to the full PDP WG. 4. CC2 Public Comment: Reminder people of CC2 and the need to help your groups to get responses. 5. Update on Geographic Names Webinar: -- Passed the deadline for speakers. -- List of speakers on the wiki https://community.icann.org/display/NGSPP/Geographic+Names+Webinar+and+ICAN…. -- Presentations are due by the 18th. -- In the process of requesting the sessions for Johannesburg.-- Is there anyone from GAC? Yes, GAC Working Group on the Protection of Geographic Names will present. Expression of interest from Olga Cavalli.

- Community Comment 2 Next Steps
by Steve Chan April 4, 2017

April 4, 2017

Dear WG Members, As you probably know, the WG is currently drafting its second request for community comment. The WG co-chairs and co-leaders of the work tracks encourage you to review the draft Community Comment 2 (CC2) questions and make suggestions in the document to amend language, add questions, omit questions, etc. The WG is collaborating via Google Docs, which can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iZBCVEAJPBYEDg7jLsMHKkNczR_b6-jH2Wl5eVH…. Attached, please find an extract of the questions in Word, for those that are unable to access Google Docs. The intention is to distribute and publish these questions for public comment before ICANN58. To do so, here is the suggested path forward: · Members review and suggest changes. Some WTs may choose to discuss during their meetings, but we hope to conclude this phase on 24 February. Your contributions are critical to ensuring your voice is heard! · The full WG reviews CC2 on 27 February. This will be considered the first reading of CC2. · An additional full WG meeting will be scheduled for 6 March, where CC2 will be reviewed and be considered the second, and presumably final reading. Assuming agreement is reached on the 6 March meeting, CC2 would then be published for public comment, as well as distributed to the chairs of the various Stakeholder Groups, Constituencies, Supporting Organizations, and Advisory Committees. If you have any questions, please let staff or the WG leadership know. Best, Steve Steven Chan  Sr. Policy Manager   ICANN 12025 Waterfront Drive, Suite 300 Los Angeles, CA 90094-2536  steve.chan(a)icann.org mobile: +1.310.339.4410 office tel: +1.310.301.5800 office fax: +1.310.823.8649 Find out more about the GNSO by taking our interactive courses and visiting the GNSO Newcomer pages.
