Fw: [gnso-vi-feb10] Innovative Proposal
by Anthony Harris May 4, 2010

May 4, 2010

Guys, This is the PIR proposal I referred to. Tony Harris ----- Original Message ----- From: Kathy Kleiman To: Gnso-vi-feb10(a)icann.org Sent: Monday, April 12, 2010 1:21 PM Subject: [gnso-vi-feb10] Innovative Proposal Dear VI WG, Now is the time to rollout new competition and new gTLDs that will service the growth and future of the Net. Now is not the time to tamper with tried and true systems. The subprime mortgage crisis in the United States was led by cries for innovation and unwinding of the regulations that had long held a steady hand in the financial markets. Few relatively small experiments ultimately had the unintended, unanticipated and domino-like effect of the collapse of multiple financial institutions. As one failure precipitated another, it soon became evident that the damage could not be constrained, or easily reversed. In the end, the public trust was lost in not only in the institutions themselves but also in the regulatory bodies which had heard but not heeded the call for restraint. With stakes high for serving the public interest, and preserving the security and stability of the Internet, tampering with a proven model is not an option - not for us, nor for the millions of registrants, websites, listserves and other systems which depend on the domain names we offer. It is far easier to determine the right structure to drive behavior, than to police conduct after the fact. PIR hereby submits a proposal which relies on the most basic of principles, as well as some innovative ideas. In the interest of delivering this proposal to the Working Group by today's deadline, we provide a framework here, and will follow with further details and explanations. We look forward to the discussion today, and in the days and weeks ahead. Please find our new proposal for our discussion attached.

COMMENTS ON VERTICAL INTEGRATION
by Anthony Harris May 3, 2010

May 3, 2010

Guys, As you are aware, our Constituency has been asked to submit comments on the question of Vertical Integration. With some difficulty, due to the size of the VI working group (70+ members) and the profusion of e-mails, I have tried to sift through the essence of the discussions, which are yet far from over. >From proposals presented by various participants, I think the one coming from the PIR through Kathy Kleiman, would seem to echo the concerns that ISPCP members have been expressing. Since I am unable to attach it herein, you will find it in a separate e-mail as a forwarded message. Additionally, I am attaching some selected segments of a report by CRA International, presented to ICANN on October 23rd., 2008, which can serve as a basis for understanding the challenges involved in VI. http://www.icann.org/en/topics/new-gtlds/crai-report-24oct08-en.pdf The discussions in the WG revolve around these identified issues, and there are advocates for complete and unlimited integration, for none at all, and some who seek hybrid solutions. After we discuss on the call, we can decide on the contents of the comment to be presented to ICANN. Sorry I couldnt get this to you all earlier. Tony Harris

AOC
by KnobenW＠telekom.de April 27, 2010

April 27, 2010

Olivier, With regards to the accountability and transparency review the AOC states under 9.1 (e): "assessing the policy development process to facilitate enhanced cross community deliberations, and effective and timely policy development". At the last council meeting it was suggested by Tim Ruiz that since the Policy Development Process is already being reviewed as a result of the GNSO Review, it would be more timely to wait until the next Accountability and Transparency Review takes place in three years so as to measure the results of the revised Policy Development Process once implemented. This seems to be rational from a viewpoint of saving workload but I wonder whether thougts from a broader prospective shall be raised by the review team. If that is the case I would appreciate your input. Regards Wolf-Ulrich

WG: [gnso-ppsc-pdp] Public Comment: Community Comment Invited on Recommended New GNSO Work Prioritization Process
by KnobenW＠telekom.de April 26, 2010

April 26, 2010

FYI! Regards Wolf-Ulrich -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: owner-gnso-ppsc-pdp(a)icann.org [mailto:owner-gnso-ppsc-pdp@icann.org] Im Auftrag von Glen de Saint Géry Gesendet: Sonntag, 25. April 2010 23:33 An: gnso-ppsc-pdp(a)icann.org Betreff: [gnso-ppsc-pdp] Public Comment: Community Comment Invited on Recommended New GNSO Work Prioritization Process Please take the time to comment! http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-2-23apr10-en.htm Public Comment: Community Comment Invited on Recommended New GNSO Work Prioritization Process 23 April 2010 At its 21 April 2010 meeting, the GNSO Council approved the use of a set of recommended new operating procedures designed to enable GNSO Councilors to begin categorizing and prioritizing their major work projects so that the Council can fulfill its new role as a strategic manager and coordinator of policy development activities within the GNSO. The ICANN community is invited to provide comments on those recommended new procedures. Background/Explanation: One of the fundamental tenets of the GNSO Improvements efforts has been to move the GNSO Council away from being a legislative body concerned primarily with voting towards becoming a more focused strategic entity with strengthened management and oversight of the policy development process. As part of that effort a newly restructured GNSO Council was seated at the Seoul ICANN meeting in October 2009. One of the new Counci's first items of business was to organize a Drafting Team (the GNSO Work Process Model Drafting Team - "WPM-DT") to develop a methodology for prioritizing the GNSO's project work. The ICANN Secretariat and Policy Staff had conducted an analysis for the Council of the actual levels of participation and attendance for GNSO Working Groups and Work Teams from the beginning of 2008 and continuing through approximately early September 2009. Staff's final report, delivered to the Council in Seoul, found " evidence of sporadic attendance and, in some cases, very low participation by some Constituencies and inconsistent participation by others." The Staff encouraged additional community dialogue concerning the following questions: * How might the GNSO's work be prioritized? * Is there too much GNSO work and, if so, what might be done to assess the total capacity? * Are Constituencies providing enough recruits to the groups being formed? * What levels of group participation should be targeted for each Constituency? The WPM-DT focused its efforts on that first question regarding Council priorities. On 9 April 2010, the WPM-DT delivered a recommended model methodology and set of procedures to help the Council prioritize its work. The WPM-DT's intent was to ensure that the recommended process: * is user-friendly, unambiguous, and straightforward to execute; * produces realistic outputs that will help the Council to make effective management decisions; and * is structured as an on-going task that accommodates change including the introduction of new projects as they are proposed in the future. At its 21 April meeting the Council accepted the deliverable of the WPM-DT and approved the use of a new Operating Procedures Chapter 6 and ANNEX http://gnso.icann.org/drafts/wpmg-section-6-and-annex-09apr10-en.pdf [PDF, 137 KB] for conducting its first Work Prioritization effort. In addition to directing the opening of this public Comment Forum, the Council established a timetable for conducting its initial effort at a group working session when councilors travel to Brussels, Belgium for the June 2010 ICANN meeting. The full GNSO Council Resolution containing the timeline of the initial effort is linked below. Community members are invited to review and comment on these new procedures. Document Links: * Proposed Chapter 6 and ANNEX to GNSO Operating Procedures [PDF, 137 KB] * Transmittal Letter to GNSO Council from the WPM-DT Chair [PDF, 13 KB] * WPM-DT Presentation to GNSO Council (21 April 2010) [PDF, 559 KB] * GNSO Council Resolution Inviting Public Comment (21 April 2010) * WPM-DT Presentation: GNSO Council Status Update (Nairobi) [PDF, 1.90 MB] * Presentation by D. Michel: GNSO Participation Study (Seoul) [PDF, 524 KB] The Process From Here: At the end of this Public Comment Forum period, ICANN Staff will review the comments submitted and prepare a summary analysis of the various submissions for GNSO Council review. The Council conditioned approval of the new procedures and said it reserves the right to modify the procedures described in Chapter 6 and the ANNEX after the conclusion of both the public comment period and the first Work Prioritization effort.

April 21, 2010

All We need to hold an ad hoc conference call this week to discuss the arrangements for the Brussels meeting, particularly the proposed change to the breakfast meeting that some ISPCP members have expressed concerns over, and also possible ISPCP involvement in the DNSSEC workshop in Brussels. Apologies for the short notice. Gisella - could you please arrange a conference call for a maximum of 45 minutes at 14.00 UTC on THURSDAY 15 April. In view of the short notice, if you are unable to make the call, please circulate any views to the list. As we need to make a decision on the Brussels meeting quite quickly, I do not feel we can delay this call pass Thursday. Regards Tony

All After seeing the response from some members, it seems that slipping the call to Friday would enable greater participation, therefore waiting another day to discuss this seems justified.
