by WUKnoben Aug. 2, 2013

Aug. 2, 2013

FYI Have a nice weekend Wolf-Ulrich Knoben From: Glen de Saint Géry Sent: Friday, August 02, 2013 10:00 AM To: council(a)gnso.icann.org Subject: [council] GNSO Council resolution 1 August 2013 Dear All, The resolution to adopt the Locking of a Domain Name subject to UDRP Proceedings Policy Development Process Final Report and Recommendations carried unanimously at the GNSO Council meeting on Thursday, 1 August 2013. WHEREAS 1. On 15 December 2011, the GNSO Council launched a Policy Development Process (PDP) on the Locking of a Domain Name subject to UDRP Proceedings to make recommendations to the GNSO Council to address the issues identified with the locking of a domain name subject to UDRP Proceedings. 2. This PDP has followed the prescribed PDP steps as stated in the Bylaws, resulting in a Final Report delivered on 5 July 2013; 3. The Locking of a Domain Name subject to UDRP Proceedings WG has reached full consensus on the recommendations in relation to addressing the issues identified with the locking of a domain name subject to UDRP Proceedings; 4. The GNSO Council has reviewed and discussed these recommendations. Now therefore be it resolved, 1. The GNSO Council recommends to the ICANN Board of Directors the adoption of the Locking of a Domain Name subject to UDRP Proceedings recommendations as detailed in the Final Report http://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/locking/domain-name-final-05jul13-en.pdf 2. The GNSO Council shall convene a Locking of a Domain Name subject to UDRP Proceedings Implementation Review Team to assist ICANN Staff in developing the implementation details for the new policy should it be approved by the ICANN Board. The Implementation Review Team will be tasked with evaluating the proposed implementation of the policy recommendations as approved by the Board and is expected to work with ICANN Staff to ensure that the resultant implementation fulfills the intentions of the approved policy recommendations. If the Implementation Review Team identifies any potential modifications to the policy recommendations or need for new policy recommendations, the Implementation Review Team shall refer these to the GNSO Council for its consideration and follow-up, as appropriate. Following adoption by the ICANN Board of the recommendations, the GNSO Secretariat is authorized to issue a call for volunteers for a Locking of a Domain Name subject to UDRP Proceedings Implementation Review Team to the members of the Locking of a Domain Name subject to UDRP Proceedings Working Group. Thank you. Kind regards Glen Glen de Saint Géry GNSO Secretariat gnso.secretariat(a)gnso.icann.org http://gnso.icann.org

ICPCP Statement on the Thick Whois Initial Report
by Mike O'Connor July 29, 2013

July 29, 2013

As noted in previous statements, ISPCP members rely on Whois data in a variety of ways: 1. to research and verify domain registrants that could vicariously cause liability for ISPs because of illegal, deceptive or infringing content. 2. to prevent or detect sources of security attacks of their networks and servers 3. to identify sources of consumer fraud, spam and denial of service attacks and incidents 4. to effectuate UDRP proceedings 5. to support technical operations of ISPs or network administrators The ISPCP believes that requiring a consistent technical model across all TLDs advances our ability to use Whois in all these ways and strongly supports the recommendation by the Thick Whois Working Group to require the use of Thick Whois across all gTLD registries. Respectfully submitted, Mike O'Connor -- ISPCP rapporteur

public comment on the Thick Whois Initial Report
by Mike O'Connor July 24, 2013

July 24, 2013

hi all, the initial comment period for the Thick Whois Initial Report is closed, but the reply-comment period is still open and will close on 4-Aug (slightly weird, since that is a Sunday). i would be willing to go with either a simple email that states that we support the conclusion to require thick Whois across all gTLD registries (pretty much mirroring the ALAC), or draft up a longer version. i'm leaning toward the short statement of support in this one. is anybody uncomfortable with that? here's the link to the public comment page https://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/thick-whois-initial-21jun13-en… mikey PHONE: 651-647-6109, FAX: 866-280-2356, WEB: www.haven2.com, HANDLE: OConnorStP (ID for Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.)

Fw: [soac-discussion] ICANN 47 was great!
by WUKnoben July 24, 2013

July 24, 2013

FYI and do not forget to plunge in again! Best regards Wolf-Ulrich From: Steve Crocker Sent: Sunday, July 21, 2013 7:18 PM To: Icann-board ICANN ; Staff ; soac-discussion(a)icann.org Cc: Steve Crocker Subject: [soac-discussion] ICANN 47 was great! ICANN Board, ICANN staff and chairs of the ICANN Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees, ICANN 47 was great! ICANN meetings are complicated productions with multiple "story lines" unfolding in parallel, each with its own challenges. In no particular order and at the risk of omitting important events, these highlights come quickly to mind: a.. Well organized and well executed logistics. The local arrangements were quite good and all of the events took place smoothly. This is no mean feat. As best I could tell, the only issues that affected a significant number of people were the disruption of Heathrow and the South African customs' insistent on a full blank page in everyone's passport. Congratulations to the meetings team and everyone involved. b.. Excellent support from our sponsors, ZADNA and ZACR, and from the African Union. This was a positive experience all around and came as the result of extended and vigorous communication and cooperation. Congratulations to management. c.. Uplifting and positive engagement with the African community with multiple events. The Africa DNS Forum on Friday and Saturday, a joint effort of ISOC, AFTLD and ICANN, kicked off the extended week. The implementation of ICANN's strategy for Africa and AFRALO Showcase and Reception on Monday kicked off the official week, followed by the AFRALO/ARICANN Joint Meeting and Africa Untethered: The Era of Digital Africa on Wednesday afternoon. (We also continued with the development of regional engagement strategies for Latin America and the Middle East.) d.. The spirit that Nelson Mandela holds over the entire continent and the very special occurrence of his 95th birthday during our time there. Nii Quaynor gave a moving tribute to him and a number of ICANN people participated in painting a school on Thursday morning to observe Mandela Day. e.. The signing of the new agreements with the registries and registrars. This culminated years of discussion and negotiation and is a big step forward. Congratulations to the negotiating teams from the registries and registrars and to the ICANN staff. f.. A flowering of activity across all of the SOs and ACs. The GNSO and ALAC continue to have so many events and activities I can't begin to catalog them. SSAC is providing advice on multiple fronts and is engaging with the entire community. ccNSO marked its tenth anniversary and smooth transition from the strong leadership of Lesley Cowley to the equally strong leadership of Byron Holland. RSSAC is completing its reorganization and revitalization, and the ASO was active with an IPv6 session on Wednesday afternoon and increasing its plans for future engagements. g.. Extensive meetings of both the Expert Working Group on Next Generation Directory Services lead by Jean-Francois Baril and the second Accountability and Transparency Review Team (ATRT2) under the leadership of Brian Cute, Avri Doria, Lise Fuhr and Alan Greenberg. These are strategically important activities that will provide guidance on improvements in critical areas over the coming years. h.. The announcement of five presidential strategy panels on long term critical topics. I'll not add details here; much more will be coming forth over the next few months. i.. The approval of the budget for the Singapore hub to continue the transition from a single headquarters to "tri-quarters" operation. j.. The resolution related to metrics for competition, consumer trust and consumer choice to initiate the fourth of the Affirmation of Commitments reviews. k.. And certainly not least are the changes in structure and management within ICANN, particularly the creating of the new Generic Domains Division with Akram Atallah as the divisional president, and the arrival of Susanna Bennett as the new Chief Operating Officer. I last wrote to everyone at the beginning of 2012, about a year and a half ago, reflecting on 2011 and looking ahead into 2012. The progress since then is remarkable. I noted the opening of the window for gTLD applications, the forthcoming selection of a new CEO, and the renewal of the IANA contract. I emphasized the need for us to be effective and for us to concentrate on cooperation and rapport in our interactions with our partners in the Internet ecosystem. During the time since then: a.. The gTLD program is well underway, with large numbers of applications through the evaluation process and delegations into the root likely to begin before the end of this year. b.. The IANA contract renewal is well behind us. c.. Fadi is now a familiar and effective voice across the landscape. I did not comment then on the upcoming interactions in the Internet governance area, a definite oversight on my part. Since then we have been heavily involved with the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) in Baku in November, the ITU's World Conference on International Telecommunications (WCIT-12) in Dubai in December, and the Fifth World Telecommunications/ICT Policy Forum (WTPF) in Geneva in May. The result was a historic change in our relationship with the ITU and a qualitative improvement in discussions regarding Internet governance. This will be a major theme in the coming year. Finally, my own thinking about ICANN's principles and posture has continued to evolve. I had spoken repeatedly about the need for both effectiveness and efficiency, and these indeed remain key tenets for me. We need to get our job done, we need to do it well and we need to be efficient in our use of money and time. I had also mentioned the need for rapport and communication with our partners in the Internet ecosystem, ISOC, the IETF and IAB, the RIRs, W3C, et al. This point has grown in my mind to include our interactions with *everyone*, and is part of a broader theme, empathy. Empathy is key to effectiveness and efficiency, and, indeed to trust as well. Do we understand the needs and desires of the people we interact with, and do we make it clear that we not only understand them but also appreciate them? Do they feel appreciated and well served, even when our answers may not be the ones they're looking for? If we're able to achieve effectiveness, efficiency AND empathy, we will have truly arrived. I look forward to continued progress through the rest of 2013 and beyond. I know most of us are tired this weekend and are either recovering or taking some well deserved time off. Rest, recuperate and reconnect with your families, and then plunge in again! Cheers, Steve Crocker Chair, ICANN Board of Directors

Fw: [council] Call for Volunteers: GNSO Policy & Implementation Working Group
by WUKnoben July 18, 2013

July 18, 2013

FYI. I have an interest in taking part in the WG. If there’s no objection I’ll send my name to the list. Best regards Wolf-Ulrich From: Glen de Saint Géry Sent: Thursday, July 18, 2013 4:23 PM To: GNSO Council List Subject: [council] Call for Volunteers: GNSO Policy & Implementation Working Group http://gnso.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-18jul13-en.htm Call for Volunteers: GNSO Policy & Implementation Working Group In brief The Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council seeks volunteers to serve on a Working Team that has been tasked to address a number of issues that have been raised in the context of the recent discussions on policy & implementation that affect the GNSO. What This Working Group Will Do The Working Group is tasked to provide the GNSO Council with a set of recommendations on: 1. A set of principles that would underpin any GNSO policy and implementation related discussions, taking into account existing GNSO Operating Procedures. 2. A process for developing gTLD policy, perhaps in the form of “Policy Guidance”, including criteria for when it would be appropriate to use such a process (for developing policy other than “Consensus Policy”) instead of a GNSO Policy Development Process; 3. A framework for implementation related discussions associated with GNSO Policy Recommendations; 4. Criteria to be used to determine when an action should be addressed by a policy process and when it should be considered implementation, and; 5. Further guidance on how GNSO Implementation Review Teams, as defined in the PDP Manual, are expected to function and operate. For further details on the charter, please see http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/policy-implementation-charter-04jul13-en.pdf. How This Working Group Will Work ICANN Working Groups use transparent, open processes. The meetings of this WG will be recorded, and the recordings will be available to the public. The mailing list for the Working Group will be archived publicly. Working Group members are expected to submit Statements of Interest (SOI). The group will collaborate using a public workspace. The Working Group is expected to follow the GNSO Working Group Guidelines. How to Join The GNSO Council invites all interested parties to put forward their names so they can be added to the WG mailing list. The WG will be open to anyone interested to join. Community members who wish to be invited to join the group should contact the GNSO secretariat (gnso.secretariat(a)icann.org) Background Mainly as a result of discussions stemming from implementation related issues of the new gTLD program, there is increased focus on which topics call for policy and which call for implementation work, including which processes should be used, at what time and how diverging opinions should be acted upon. In order to facilitate these discussions, ICANN Staff developed a draft framework for community discussion that identifies a number of steps and criteria that might facilitate dealing with similar questions in the future. The paper identifies a number of questions that the community may want to consider further in this context, as well as a couple of suggested improvements that could be considered in the short term. While developing a bright-line rule as to what is policy or implementation may not be possible, the hope is that by developing clear processes and identifying clear roles and responsibilities for the different stakeholders, it will become easier to deal with these issues going forward and allow for broad participation and involvement. Following several discussions by the GNSO Council on this topic, the GNSO Council has now formed a Working Group which has been tasked to provide concrete recommendations on how to address some of these issues from a GNSO perspective.
