FW: Notification of results in GNSO Council vote on Recommended By Laws changes - clarification
by Tony Holmes July 15, 2009

July 15, 2009

Dear ISPCP members The following information was sent by Philip Sheppard to the Board following considerable dialogue between the BC, the IP and ISPCP constituency reps to the Council. We originally asked for this information to be conveyed to the Board when they were informed of the outcome of the vote, but that request was refused. Hence the separate mailing. There are still unresolved issues with the revised bylaws so we were unable to offer support. Regards Tony -----Original Message----- From: Philip Sheppard [mailto:philip.sheppard@aim.be] Sent: 15 July 2009 08:49 To: secretary(a)icann.org; 'Peter Dengate Thrush'; 'Roberto Gaetano' Cc: Kristina Rosette IPC; 'Tony Holmes' Subject: Notification of results in GNSO Council vote on Recommended By Laws changes - clarification To the Board; This constitutes additional notification to the Board, to the Structural Improvements Committee of the Board and to the Public Comments area, on the motion concerning the recommended By Laws changes in support of GNSO restructuring as mandated by the Board. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note there was considerable unease about the GNSO Council taking this vote before the closure of public comments and while key by-laws changes (Board seats, NCSG seating) were not yet embedded in proposed text. The vote taken was technically a pass at a barely quorate meeting. The following may be of assistance to the Board in understanding the level of support of the GNSO vote: 1. Of the 21 members of Council, 7 members voted in favour. 2. Of the 6 GNSO Constituencies, only 2 voted in favour. Philip Sheppard

FW: [CG-GOVERNANCA] comentários da ccNSO em relação ao CountryNames
by Jaime Wagner July 8, 2009

July 8, 2009

FYI Jaime Wagner ISPs Representative CGI (Brazilian Internet Steering Commitee) jaime(a)cgi.br +55(51)8126-0916 jaime(a)corp.plugin.com.br +55(51)3123-1701 New gTLDs - Draft Applicant Guidebook Input from ccNSO Council on Country/Territory Names The ccNSO wishes to reiterate the comments made in its submissions of 15 December 2008 and 9 April 2009 and add the following comments which are limited to the use of country/territory names in top level domains, and are not intended to address the use of city or regional names. Today ICANN distinguishes between two categories of TLDs ? ccTLDs and gTLDs. ccTLDs set their policy within territory and in consultation with their local Internet community, including government. gTLDs are governed by ICANN policies and contractual terms. The ?g? in gTLDs stands for ?generic?, and today all of the gTLDs1 are generic terms such as info, museum, com, biz etc. It is the view of the ccNSO Council that to allow the ?given names? of countries to be defined as generic (and thus delegated as gTLDs), is illogical and incompatible with any normal understanding of the term generic. Allowing a TLD representing a meaningful representation of a country to be a gTLD is likely to create a situation where ICANN will be caught up in the internal policy of a country. It is highly likely that the government will at some stage want to have policy input into what a country TLD is used for or expect it to be answerable under national law. A change in government could radically affect the official position within the country regarding the gTLD which in turn could adversely affect the stability and integrity of the DNS. Further, there will be significant confusion caused for Internet users if some country names are ccTLDs under local law and with local policies, while other country TLDs are gTLDs bound by ICANN?s policy processes, including policy for registrar accreditation, dispute resolution and WHOIS. Janis Karklins stated in his letter from GAC of 24 April that the rights of a sovereign state or territory cannot be limited or made conditional by ICANN's procedures and that geographic names are special cases and should have special rules applying to them. The GAC further states: ?The ccNSO has proposed that country or territory names on the ISO-list are treated as ccTLDs. This seems to be a sensible approach to ensure that geographic names are afforded sufficient protection.? In light of this, the ccNSO Council strongly believe that its earlier input should be given serious consideration when revising the DAG, v3. Finally, in relation to item 2.1.1.4 of the DAG we conclude that the current formulation proposed for defining country names does not cover the same terms that were protected by the earlier definition of ?meaningful representation?. While we understand the desire for a defined list, we believe that it is important to keep the fundamental principles associated with national sovereignty firmly in view. Lists can often easily be circumvented and not respond to reasonable expectations from the governments or users based in the country concerned. New TLD applications will not be processed automatically so there is no need for a defined list The list creation formula itself is very complicated. It should also be noted that parties not currently involved in this process will not yet have had the opportunity to check that all meaningful representations of their country names are properly protected in these lists.

ISPCP ad hoc meeting - Sydney 20th June
by Tony Holmes June 20, 2009

June 20, 2009

Hi All We arranged during our last conference call to meet informally at 17.30 today, then go to dinner. Since then the agenda has been updated and today's session now run until 19.00. That makes holding a separate meeting at the end of the day pretty demanding, so I'd like to propose that those interested meet in the lobby at 19.30 and we can discuss some of the issues we need to tackle over dinner. A response if you intend to join would be helpful in booking a restaurant. Tony
