Greg Shatan IPC President ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Constance Bommelaer <bommelaer(a)isoc.org> Date: Fri, Jul 31, 2015 at 11:14 AM Subject: [Internet Policy] ISOC Contribution to UN WSIS+10 Review To: Internet Policy External <InternetPolicy(a)elists.isoc.org>, "internetsociety_advisorycouncilne(a)ConnectedCommunity.org" < internetsociety_advisorycouncilne(a)connectedcommunity.org>, "internetsociety_chapterleaderscommunityne(a)ConnectedCommunity.org" < internetsociety_chapterleaderscommunityne(a)connectedcommunity.org> Dear Members, The Internet Society has submitted a <http://www.internetsociety.org/doc/internet-society-written-submission-wsis…>*written contribution to the UN General Assembly WSIS+10 Review* <http://www.internetsociety.org/doc/internet-society-written-submission-wsis…> to be held later in December, in New York. In our submission, we highlight the two main outcomes we are aiming for: - Preserving the consensus of the 2005 Tunis Agenda that recognizes the distributed model of governance of the Internet where each stakeholder group has its own role and set of responsibilities, while all working together; - Laying the foundations of an inclusive, people-centered and development-oriented Information Society for the next decade, articulated around three main pillars: 1/ collaborative networks for human empowerment and sustainable development, 2/ collaborative security for trust-worthy environments, and 3/ collaborative governance where open frameworks lead to successful discussions. For further background information, you can also read this *blog post* <http://www.internetsociety.org/blog/public-policy/2015/07/internet-society-…>. With regards to *next steps*, all contributions received will feed into a "non-paper" published by the UN in August. The next face-to-face consultations will take place in NY in Oct, leading to the UN GA High-Level Event on 15-16 Dec. where leaders from all communities should be invited to speak (see the WSIS+10 preparatory process roadmap <http://unpan3.un.org/wsis10/preparatoryprocess> ). Many thanks to all the colleagues who have made suggestions and shared useful insights, they were very useful to develop ISOC's submission.

Fwd: [Soac-infoalert] Fwd: ICG Seeking Public Input on Key Internet Governance Proposal
by Greg Shatan July 31, 2015

July 31, 2015

Fellow IPC Members: Please see the notice for the public comment period for the combined IANA Stewardship Transition proposal from the ICG. I expect that John McElwaine will send a call for volunteers out. Greg ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: David Olive <david.olive(a)icann.org> Date: Fri, Jul 31, 2015 at 10:06 AM Subject: [Soac-infoalert] Fwd: ICG Seeking Public Input on Key Internet Governance Proposal To: "soac-infoalert(a)icann.org" <soac-infoalert(a)icann.org> Cc: Hillary Jett <hillary.jett(a)icann.org>, Duncan Burns < duncan.burns(a)icann.org> <http://icann.org> *News Release* *July 31, 2015* ------------------------------ *FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE* ICG Seeking Public Input on Key Internet Governance Proposal Public feedback on highly anticipated proposal sought by 8 September The IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG) today released for public comment the proposal [*IANA Stewardship Transition Proposal* <https://www.ianacg.org/icg-files/documents/IANA-stewardship-transition-prop…> [PDF, 2.2 MB]] for the transition of the stewardship of the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) functions from the U. S. Department of Commerce's National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) to the global multistakeholder community. This presents a seminal opportunity for the public to evaluate the proposal as a whole and how it meets the criteria established by NTIA. The ICG is encouraging the public to review the proposal and share their reactions and comments during the public comment period here <https://www.ianacg.org/calls-for-input/combined-proposal-public-comment-per…> . Following the opening of the 40-day public comment period, the ICG will host two briefing webinars <https://www.ianacg.org/icg-will-be-hosting-two-webinars-regarding-the-trans…> open to the public on Thursday 6 August, 19:00-20:30 UTC and Friday 7 August, 11:00-12:30 UTC. The transition of IANA’s stewardship represents an important Internet governance milestone. The proposal for how to carry out the transition is the result of a tremendous undertaking by the global multistakeholder community, including the operational communities with direct operation or service relationships with the IANA functions as well as global business, civil society, governments, and Internet users. These geographically diverse groups came together to work on this process shortly after NTIA announced its intent to transition its stewardship role in March 2014 <http://www.ntia.doc.gov/press-release/2014/ntia-announces-intent-transition…>. The proposal was developed through a transparent community-led process, open to and inclusive of all interested stakeholders. The proposal combines components related to the three categories of IANA functions – domain names, Internet numbering resources, and protocol parameters – each of which have already been thoroughly and publicly vetted. “The dedication that the Internet community has exhibited to the IANA stewardship transition is nothing short of remarkable,” said Alissa Cooper, Chair of the ICG and member of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) community. “The public comment period presents an opportunity for the public to assess the transition proposal in its entirety and for the ICG to build a public record demonstrating how the proposal meets the expectations set out by the U.S. Government.” “It has been a big undertaking to develop a proposal that meets the criteria set forth by the NTIA,” said Patrik Fältström, Vice Chair of the ICG and Chair of the Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC). “I am confident that after receiving and analyzing the public comments, we will be poised to put this proposal forward to the U.S. Government for review and approval.” “The ICG is looking forward to receiving broad input concerning key questions about the proposal,” said Mohamed El Bashir ( محمد البشير ), Vice Chair of the ICG and member of the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC), “The public’s input is absolutely crucial to this process.” In parallel to the ICG, a Cross Community Working Group (CCWG-Accountability) was formed to facilitate the process of developing enhancements to ICANN’s accountability in light of the transition away from the U.S. Government. The CCWG-Accountability proposal will be available for public comment on Monday, 3 August. The public should direct comments about the Enhancing ICANN Accountability proposal to the CCWG-Accountability and comments about the IANA Stewardship Transition proposal to the ICG. *Webinar Details & How to Attend* The webinars will be run in an Adobe Connect Room <https://icann.adobeconnect.com/icg> on Thursday 6 August, 19:00-20:30 UTC and Friday 7 August, 11:00-12:30 UTC. If you are interested in attending a webinar and would like to receive dial-in details, please send an email to the ICG Secretariat and indicate which webinar you would like to attend. Please note that the webinars will be conducted in English and will be live interpreted in the 5 UN languages plus Portuguese. They will also be recorded and transcribed. Subsequently the transcripts will be translated in the 5 UN languages and Portuguese and posted. *# # #* For further information about the ICG and the IANA Stewardship Transition, please see https://www.ianacg.org or https://www.icann.org/stewardship.
