Election of new representatives to the GNSO Council
by Tony Holmes Sept. 18, 2009

Sept. 18, 2009

All I'd like to propose we commence the election for representatives to the new GNSO Council which is intended to be seated at the Seoul meeting. None of the current ISPCP representatives to the Council, Tony Harris, Maggie Mansourkia and myself will be standing for election. Therefore we require a totally new slate of candidates. I would suggest a nomination period of 7 days from today, followed by a further 7 days for voting. All potential candidates should be aware that representation on the GNSO requires a considerable amount of commitment of their time and attendance at ICANN meetings for the full period. Mark - as ISPCP Secretariat could you please formally launch the nomination process in line with this message. Regards Tony

ISPCP representation on Council
by Tony Holmes Aug. 27, 2009

Aug. 27, 2009

All After many years of supporting the ISPCP Constituency and representing their interest on the GNSO Council and numerous working groups, Greg Ruth is moving on from Verizon. His place on the GNSO Council will be filled by Maggie Mansoukia who worked with Greg in Verizon and has also been active in the ISPCP Constituency, again representing them on various task force and working groups. Maggie will be filling this seat until the new Council members are seated in Seoul. I'm sure those of you who worked with Greg across the years will join me in thanking him for the effort he put in across the years. Tony

GNSO Council representation between now and Seoul
by Tony Holmes Aug. 24, 2009

Aug. 24, 2009

Dear ISPCP members I've been informed that due to changes within Verizon, Greg Ruth is no longer able to represent the ISPCP on the GNSO Council. The timing is a little unfortunate as Greg's term expired at the next meeting in Seoul anyway. You'll also be aware that the Constituency will be holding elections shortly in order to seat two new representatives on the new reformed GNSO Council. Against that background we need to find a way forward between now and Seoul in order to cover the two scheduled GNSO meetings before then and there are a number of points that require careful consideration; * All of those currently representing the ISPCP on the GNSO council will be standing down at the Seoul meeting and will not be eligible to stand for re-election, that means for the new Council we start with a completely new slate of candidates * If we bring forward that election with the intention of covering Greg's slot between now and Seoul it restricts those who can stand due to the geographic diversity rule e.g it rules out all candidates from Latin America and Europe as both Tony Harris and I are already on the Council. That hardly seems fair. * If we bring forward an election, under the current ISPCP bylaws we cannot conclude that process in time for the next GNSO call, therefore it would only cover the one remaining teleconference/meeting. For the commercial Stakeholder Group that is unacceptable as we would lose 1 vote on all issues. In order to overcome those problems, I would like to propose the following way forward. For the two remaining meetings Greg's place on Council should be taken by Maggie Mansoukia. Most of you know Maggie from her attendance at ICANN meetings over the years and both being employed by Verizon, Greg and Maggie have always worked very closely on ICANN matters. Maggie has also actively engaged in the ISPCP issues across the years (particularly on the WHOIS Task Force where she represented the Constituency for many years) and is therefore well placed to bridge this short gap. Before proposing this solution I did speak with Maggie and I'm pleased to say that she would be willing to undertake this role if it is the will of the Constituency. Therefore could I ask you to respond back if you would support this approach. Please respond within the next 7 days and no response will be counted as 'no objection to the proposed approach'. I'd also like to take this opportunity on behalf of the Constituency to thanks Greg for all his hard work over many years. Regards Tony

COMMENT REQUIRED by end of Tuesday 25 August.
by Tony Holmes Aug. 24, 2009

Aug. 24, 2009

Dear ISPCP members Following the support expressed to respond to the GNSO Operations Team's request for comments on a proposed revised structure for the GNSO, the following response has been produced based on comments received. The aim is to forward this to the GNSO Operations team before their conference call on Wednesday 26th August ,. If you require amendment, please respond by the end of Tuesday 25th. Thanks Tony __________________ ISP& Connectivity Providers Constituency Response to GNSO Council Operations Work Team on Proposed GNSO Structure In response to the recent request for comments on the proposal to create a new GNSO Administrative body to deal with administrative issues the ISPCP offers the following comments. The consensus view of the ISPCP Constituency is that the creation of a new Administrative body would not be in the best interest of the GNSO. At a time when the GNSO is fundamentally changing its structure and working methods with the move towards a more progressive role for working groups, its essential the GNSO use the available resource wisely. The GNSO already has too much work and too few volunteers. Creating an additional stream of work would have the effect of diluting the base of volunteers even more and bring into question the whole nature of ICANN as a bottom up organization. As the number of volunteers dwindles, more and more of the work has to be undertaken by staff if the required progress is to be made. That situation would inevitably evolves from coordination and facilitation by staff to actual policy making. In addition such a move adds and additional layer of complexity, with limited reward. The ISPCP does not support the division of the GNSO in this manner.

Response to GNSO Ops team request for comment
by Tony Holmes Aug. 21, 2009

Aug. 21, 2009

All The GNSO Reform Operations Team that both Wolf-Ulrich and I participate in, recently circulated a request for comments on a proposal that was being discussed within that group on restructuring the GNSO into two separate streams. One dealing with policy issues the other administration. As there was no consensus within the Ops team on this approach they specifically posed the following question: "Do you think that the establishment of a new, additional body to address specific responsibilities - as described herein - would better serve the stakeholder groups that make up the GNSO, or not" Those of you who were present at the ISPCP meeting in Sydney will recall that this issue was discussed and there was no support, basically because it was seen as adding more bureaucracy and overhead. My question to you is should we submit a response from the Constituency stating that? This action was supported during the Sydney meeting but as time has passed I thought I would check once more to see if there is any opposition to this. If we are to respond I would need to do that early next week, so if you are opposed to that action, please reply promptly. Regards Tony

All Please see and note the attached email from Jeff. Like a number of other Constituencies we're struggling a little with participation in the large number of groups working through the GNSO. To those who volunteered to represent the ISPs, can I urge that you make every effort to attend the sessions whenever possible. Thanks Tony _____ From: Neuman, Jeff [mailto:Jeff.Neuman@neustar.us] Sent: 10 August 2009 16:00 To: Neuman, Jeff; Robin Gross; David W.

We had yet another meeting last Thursday and aside from myself and ICANN staff, only 5 others showed up (2 registrars (Bladel & Diaz), 1 registry (Maher), an ALAC rep (Greenberg), and Avri in her personal capacity). There was no rep from the CBUC, ISP, IP or NCUC constituencies. Please find enclosed an updated chart. Some more figures to consider: Out of the 12 meetings since March 19th: · The NCUC rep has attended only 1 meeting (and that was in early April) · One of the 2 CBUC members have attended only 7 or the 12 meetings (none since June) · Of the 3 IP reps, one of them has only showed up in a total of only 4 meetings (None since May) · An ISP rep has shown up for 7 of 12 meetings · Registrars Congrats You have attended all of the meetings and are the model for everyone to follow! · Registries You have participated in 9 of the 12 meetings. Avri, can you please post these results on the GNSO Council website and make a plea during the next meeting for more participation. This may include substituting members of constituencies who can no longer attend or at the very least appointing alternatives. Thanks for your help. Jeffrey J.
