Dear all,

Thanks for your assistance in relation to comments about not naming specific Native American tribes in today’s call.     I recall  a discussion as to whether it would be appropriate to evaluate community applications based on the type of entity that was making the application – that is -  for profit or not-for-profit, etc.    I had mentioned this would not be an appropriate screening tool because (1) there are many underserved populations, including Native American populations, that may form for-profit corporate entities for certain purposes that can be community-based and (2)  Federally-recognized Indian Tribes often have their own sovereign laws as to business entity formation that don’t necessarily track the common understanding of state-created or IRS-qualified entities.

 

I am aware that there is at least one Fellow from a U.S. tribe that has attended ICANN meetings in the past.  It might be good to get her perspective on Native American communities.  (I believe her name is April Tinhorn.)  I could also do some outreach as a member of the National Native American Bar Association to see whether they would like to provide comments during the public comment period.

 

Thank you,

Anne

 

 

 

Dear WG Members,

 

With apologies for the late delivery, please find the proposed agenda for the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures WG meeting scheduled for 18 June 2018 at 15:00 UTC, for 90 minutes.

 

1. Agenda Review
2. Roll Call/SOIs
3. Review of the Initial Report (continued). * The purpose of this review is to ensure that preliminary outcomes and deliberations are accurately captured and written in an understandable manner. The WG Co-Chairs have sought to make clear that this exercise is not intended to re-open substantive discussions, which is better served by the submission of public comments and subsequently when reviewing public comments received. Please submit your comments about these sections to the Working Group mailing list (gnso-newgtld-wg@icann.org) in advance of the meeting.
   1. Review of Section 1.8 (Accountability Mechanisms)
   2. Review of Section 1.9 (Community Applications)
4. Review of other sections in the Initial Report
5. AOB

 

For Item 3, the relevant documents are attached. As a reminder, please note that a resource page has been set up on the Wiki to track the distribution of Initial Report sections, which you can find here: https://community.icann.org/x/NwUhB.

 

For Item 4, you will find a draft of most of the other sections within the Initial Report, including the Preamble and the Executive Summary. You will see a placeholder in Section 2, which states, “Insert sections from the excerpts reviewed by Working Group…” – here, staff will insert the sections we have been reviewing for the last couple of months, inclusive of any changes as needed from discussions on calls and on list.

  

Those signed up as Members to this PDP WG should have received meeting information from the SOAC Support team. If you did not receive these participation details or if you would like to send your apologies, please contact the SOAC Support team (gnso-secs@icann.org).

 

Best,

Steve
