Re: [IPC-GNSO] IPC Membership Invoices - RiskIQ

July 20, 2018

Hi, Kiran, I did some more digging, and found the attached, reflecting payment through 2017. You mentioned below 2018 is current but I will find out if any payments have been made to IPC after July 7, 2017 for 2018. In any case, can you please turn back on my access to the IPC members' website? I know you might not have done this and it could be another system error for which you have nothing to do. I am looping the IPC in so we can figure it out. I was trying to go to the IPC site but my access was shut off. See the attached screenshot from today. I cannot find any records of being contacted regarding past due membership fees telling me my access would be terminated to the IPC website. I'd like to investigate that to make sure it doesn't happen to anyone else. The timing was unfortunate because I had literally just gone online to update my SOI when this happened. That's why I was surprised I couldn't get into the IPC website. I'm attaching the emails you sent today. It turns out the same invoice was sent twice so there are only two invoices you sent. They are attached. I'm copying ipc-gnso(a)icann.org to see who can help turn back on my access as I don't know if my access to the private list has also been shut off? Thanks for all the volunteer work you do on behalf of Members of the IPC, and representing our interests. I hope you will still consider me one of those Members until we get the audit sorted out. I have every intent of remaining a Member.

Official Announcement - 2018 Multistakeholder Ethos Award Honors Stéphane Van Gelder
by Chantelle Doerksen June 25, 2018

June 25, 2018

https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2018-06-25-en 2018 Multistakeholder Ethos Award Honors Stéphane Van Gelder [ICANN announces Stéphane Van Gelder as 2018 Multistakeholder Ethos Award recipient] PANAMA CITY – 25 June 2018 – The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is honored to announce the recipient of the 2018 Multistakeholder Ethos Award. This year, the community selection panel posthumously recognized a long-time member of the ICANN community: Stéphane Van Gelder. The award was presented today at ICANN62 in Panama City to Stéphane Van Gelder’s wife Julie Talfournier Van Gelder. Community member Keith Drazek presented the award on behalf of the community selection panel. He enumerated Stéphane Van Gelder’s many contributions and attested to how he was admired for “his passion, his fairness, his ability to find the best in people, and his true gift for uniting people.” Cherine Chalaby, Chair, ICANN Board, and Göran Marby, President and CEO, ICANN, also remembered Stéphane Van Gelder. Chalaby stated that Van Gelder’s “impact on the ICANN community, and many of us individually, cannot be overstated.” Marby urged community members present to continue in Stéphane Van Gelder’s spirit and “see the people behind the discussions.” Marby turned the podium over to Julie Talfournier Van Gelder, who spoke movingly about her husband, a man who she said “helped reveal the strength and skills in so many people.” The Multistakeholder Ethos Award honors members of the ICANN community who have made outstanding contributions to ICANN’s multistakeholder model of Internet governance. Stéphane Van Gelder was selected from a list of 16 nominees as the person who best demonstrated the spirit of collaboration, strongly promoting consensus. The community selection panel composed of nine members from different Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees recognized Van Gelder for his immense dedication and commitment to ICANN’s multistakeholder model, which served as an example to others in the community. The multistakeholder model is built on achieving consensus, and Van Gelder’s contributions epitomize this ideal, making him the perfect recipient for the 2018 Multistakeholder Ethos Award. A unique point that stood out from the beginning of the community selection panel’s process was that Stéphane Van Gelder received nominations or endorsements from at least 10 different community groups, and also from several individuals and community leaders. It was an unprecedented level of support and something that the selection committee immediately recognized as important. The breadth and depth of cross-community support spoke directly to his impact representing each of the award’s criteria – breaking down silos, working across multiple groups, engaging in a collegial manner, and a record of substantive and meaningful contribution over many years. Stéphane Van Gelder’s contributions were distinct, and the level of support from the ICANN community was undeniable. From 2008 to 2012, he served on the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council as an elected representative of what was then called the Registrars Constituency (now the Registrar Stakeholder Group). On the GNSO Council, he served as vice chair in 2010 and was elected and served two consecutive terms as chair in 2011 and 2012. During his tenure as GNSO chair, Van Gelder oversaw and shepherded multiple key projects, including: · Completion of an extensive update of the GNSO's operating procedures. · Establishment of the Domain Name System Security (DNS) Security and Stability Analysis Working Group, working jointly with the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC), Country Code Names Supporting Organization (ccNSO), and Number Resource Organization (NRO). · Completion of the Fast Flux, Post-Expiration Domain Name Recovery and Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy (IRTP) Part B Policy Development Processes (PDPs), and the joint ccNSO-GNSOInternationalized Domain Name Working Group. · Launch of the IRTP Part C, Thick WHOIS, and Locking of Domain Names subject to Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy Proceedings PDPs. · Completion of the Applicant Guidebook for the 2012 New Generic Top-Level Domain (gTLD) Program and the launch of the program. Van Gelder was also a long-time contributor to the ICANN Nominating Committee, beginning in 2013, serving as its chair in 2015 and associate chair in 2017. He was a well-respected and much appreciated member of not only the GNSO, but of the broader ICANN community. His genuine passion, energy, and commitment to ICANN’s mission and his achievements in various roles across the community were second to none. All of these qualities and accomplishments strongly support the selection of Stéphane Van Gelder as the recipient of ICANN’s 2018 Multistakeholder Ethos Award. At this time when we celebrate his contributions, ICANN also extends our deepest condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues. Launched in 2014 at ICANN50, the Multistakeholder Ethos Award<https://community.icann.org/x/YyOAAw> recognizes ICANN participants who have invested in consensus-based solutions, acknowledged the importance of ICANN’s multistakeholder model of Internet governance, and contributed in a substantive way to the higher interests of ICANN’s organization and community.

FYI - Update on ICANN61 Adobe Connect Issues
by Benedetta Rossi March 15, 2018

March 15, 2018

https://www.icann.org/news/blog/update-on-icann61-adobe-connect-issues I wanted to provide you with a brief update on the issue with our Adobe Connect services. The issue is one that could possibly lead to the disclosure of the information shared in an ICANN Adobe Connect room. We are still investigating the root cause of the issue. We have formulated different scenarios based on authentication, encryption, and software versions, which we are testing in a controlled fashion in attempt to replicate and understand the root cause of the issue. We are working directly with Adobe and with our cloud service provider to learn more. As a reminder, we continue to offer Livestream video, multilingual audio, and live scribe feeds in the main meeting rooms at ICANN61. We are also accommodating questions and comments via email.
