Rod Beckstrom to leave ICANN at the end of his term
by KnobenW＠telekom.de Aug. 17, 2011

Aug. 17, 2011

From: http://www.icann.org/en/news/releases/release-16aug11-en.pdf August 16, 2011 BECKSTROM TO LEAVE ICANN AT END OF HIS TERM Rod Beckstrom will continue to fulfill his term as ICANN's President and CEO, which will be completed on 1 July 2012. He has held this position since 1 July 2009. "I am incredibly proud of ICANN's achievements throughout my tenure," said Beckstrom. "In two short years we have advanced this organization to a new level of professionalism and productivity, and turned it into a genuinely multinational organization that will serve the world community long after my time here." Beckstrom has had many notable accomplishments at ICANN. They include the negotiation and signing of the Affirmation of Commitments, the historic 2009 agreement with the US Government that moved ICANN's oversight from one government to the world, and the signing of the Internet's root with DNSSEC. The introduction of internationalized domain names under his watch has allowed millions of Internet users to access the Internet entirely in their primary language script. "I can summarize my time here in four words: strong execution, great teambuilding," he said. "We have built a world-class executive team, and elevated ICANN's stature through strategic relationships with governments, businesses, top technology firms and international organizations." A program to launch new generic top-level domains - a major change to the domain name system - was approved in June and will launch in the next year. ICANN's agreement with the US government - the IANA functions contract - expires in March, and Beckstrom emphasized his commitment to bring the contract renewal to a successful conclusion. Steve Crocker, Chair of ICANN's Board of Directors, said: "The Board of Directors fully supports Rod through the completion of his July 2012 term and is committed to continuing the collaboration that has produced so many benefits for ICANN and for the global Internet." Beckstrom continued: "I remain committed to leading this critical organization with the utmost dedication, and to living up to our common vision: One world, one Internet."

WG: ICANN News Alert -- ICANN 2011 Nominating Committee Announces Selections
by KnobenW＠telekom.de Aug. 16, 2011

Aug. 16, 2011

All, this is very good news for the GNSO Council. Congratulations to Thomas. BTW my schedule shows an ISPCP conference call tomorow at 14:00 UTC. Tony, can you confirm? Kind regards Wolf-Ulrich ________________________________ Von: ICANN News Alert [mailto:communications@icann.org] Gesendet: Samstag, 6.

The NomCom's Chair, Adam Peake, said "We are very pleased to have been able to select such high quality people to join ICANN. They are a great group, bringing skills and experience that will serve the community well. It's been a tough job, the NomCom had to choose from a very strong applicant pool, with many highly qualified candidates for every position, including a record number of female applicants. After many hours of teleconferences and meetings, and then almost two and half days of discussion locked away in a room in Singapore, we reached unanimous agreement on all the selected nominees and the overall slate that includes individuals from China, Germany, Jamaica, Malaysia, Nigeria, Philippines and United States. Thanks to my committee for their hard work, and on behalf of all the NomCom a very sincere Thank You to all 88 candidates who gave their time and effort in volunteering to help ICANN". The NomCom is charged with recruiting and selecting a portion of ICANN's leadership. The NomCom is mandated to ensure that overall, ICANN's leadership is diverse in geography, culture, skills, experience, and perspective. The basic criteria is that selectees are people of integrity, objectivity and sound judgment, can support decision-making within groups, can work effectively in English, have an understanding of ICANN's mission and operation, are committed to its success, experienced in world affairs, contribute to cultural, professional and geographic expertise, and can work long and hard as volunteers in the global public trust. The NomCom evaluated over eighty-eight candidates, many of whom with exceptional qualifications in relation to the key criteria as set out in the ICANN Bylaws. With such a rich pool of candidates and very few seats to fill, the NomCom found itself unable to appoint all the applicants the Committee members would have desired to see on the Board and on the other bodies. ________________________________ Selectees listed for each ICANN body, in alphabetical order by family name.

Summary and actions from ISPCP conference call 13 July 2011
by Tony Holmes July 26, 2011

July 26, 2011

The following represents a summary of the main discussion points and actions from the ISPCP conference call held on 13 July 2011 . New Constituencies Attention was focused on ICANN's approval of the NPOC constituency which was now part of the NCSG. It was noted that discussions were taking place within the NCSG with regard to future elections of GNSO Councillors and that the current rules would see that result decided by a single vote majority of all NCSG members. That approach facilitates capture by a Constituency with the highest number of members and has the potential to block access to Council by representatives from smaller Constituencies, in this case the NPOC. The opinion of the ISPCP is that no single Constituency should hold more than a set level of seats. Tony Holmes was requested to raise this issue with the CSG Executive. Note: This action has been followed up and the CSG are now discussing whether/how to pursue this. . ATRT Update As a member of the ATRT Committee, Olivier Muron reported that he was not aware of any recent developments with regard to the ATRT since the Singapore meeting. Attention was drawn to the discussions led by the ISPCP on ATRT progress which had taken place during the CSG session with the ICANN Board in Singapore. The ISPCP had raised concern over the perceived lack of action. In particular the ISPCP was concerned over the lack of precise details showing how the community would be able to interact as staff progressed improvements on 'public comment periods' as this had the ability to impact the work of the Constituency. As nothing appeared to have changed since the Singapore meeting, Tony Holmes was requested to follow-up this issue with Denise Michelle. Note: Since the ISPCP call ICANN staff has notified the community they are setting in place a focus group to facilitate input. For the CSG representatives on this group will be Marilyn Cade and Jonathan Zuck, with feedback to the ISPCP agreed. . GNSO toolkit The ISPCP concluded their key preferences from the GNSO toolkit list as; . Providing grants/Funding for Constituencies to provide their own administrative support . Web site hosting and content maintenance . Assisting in conducting elections for Officers Tony Holmes was requested to inform Rob Hoggarth. In addition its was requested that Rob Hoggarth is invited to attend the ISPCP meeting in Senegal in order to discuss ISPCP web site requirements in more detail. Note: This action has since been completed. . Budget Following the discussion between the CSG and the ICANN Board on budget issues in Singapore the CSG decided to set in place a small team (2 per Constituency) to consider the budget and operational plan in more detail. This will form an on-going task within the CSG. For the ISPCP Tony Holmes and Jaime Wagner will represent the Constituency. Note: The CSG have been informed and this work is expected to commence shortly. Whilst the GNSO Council are also due to discuss budget issues the ISPCP will only support their consideration of issues that are specific to the policy work of the Council. . GNSO outreach task force Olga Carvelli will be leading the GNSO Outreach Task Force and has requested volunteers from all Constituencies. Tony Harris has volunteered to cover this for the ISPCP and Thomas Rickert will be the alternate. Note: The Chair of this group has since been advised. . JAS Council delegates advised that the report from the JAS wg has still to be agreed by the GNSO despite its submission to the Board. Thomas Rickert reported that he had reviewed the JAS proposals on behalf of the ISPCP (as agreed in Singapore) and had sent a message to the ISPCP mailing list, advising the Constituency should generally support the ideas set out within the report, but additionally state the IPv6 requirements should not be waived. The JAS report currently takes no position on this. ISPs will be involved with back-end providers that would use IPv6 and this needs to be encouraged to ensure operational stability. On financial stability, Thomas proposed that needy applicants should only be required to demonstrate financial stability for 6-12 months or the barrier to entry would be too high, and that ICANN needed to offer support to needy applicants if they faced bankruptcy in order to ensure operational and technical stability. In addition ICANN could also assist with the provision of legal advice, but any such action should be undertaken by 3rd parties. . GNSO Council meetings The next GNSO Council meeting is planned for July 25. At the date of this call no meeting was planned for August. . Elections Election are required to be held for the ISPCP Council seats prior to Senegal In addition the ISPCP needs to appoint a new delegate to the 2011-2012 Nominating Committee and reappoint CSG Executive officers. Following Senegal an election will take place for the Constituency Chair Secretary to arrange. . IANA contract Alain Bidron introduce a draft response to be submitted by the ISPCP on the recent announcement regarding the IANA contract. Comments should be submitted to the list (copied direct to Alain) by 20th July to enable submission by the 29th July deadline. . Date of next Constituency call was agreed as Wednesday 17 August at 14.00 UTC

Fwd: [isoc-advisory-council] ISOC Draft Response to the US Department of Commerce IANA Further Notice of Inquiry
by Malcolm Hutty July 21, 2011

July 21, 2011

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Tony, Have you seen the draft response from ISOC? I think it makes some good points, in particular with regard to the role of the Contractor in assessing whether policies and national laws have been complied with (see below, "Finally, and most importantly,"). I would be pleased if the ISPCP response could incorporate at least this last point in its own response. Also, are we really at the point where we're calling for every last vestige of US oversight of the IANA function to be withdrawn? Malcolm. - -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [isoc-advisory-council] ISOC Draft Response to the US Department of Commerce IANA Further Notice of Inquiry Date: Mon, 18 Jul 2011 11:33:25 +0200 From: Markus Kummer <kummer(a)isoc.org> To: isoc-advisory-council(a)elists.isoc.org Dear Advisory Council Members, I refer to the email I sent out on 19 June, seeking your input for our response to the US Department of Commerce IANA Further Notice of Inquiry (FNOI). Meanwhile, we have had the opportunity to assess the FNOI more in detail and also exchange views with others, including representatives of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA). First and foremost, we welcome the open and transparent process which should ultimately contribute to broadening transparency, predictability and global confidence in the way the Department of Commerce deals with the IANA function. Nevertheless, we have some areas of concern. In our draft response to the FNOI, which is attached to this email, .we highlight the following areas where we believe further clarifications are needed: First, the Internet technical community should be recognized as materially affected parties to the contract. Second, the FNOI is DNS centric. The DNS component of the IANA Functions Contract is only one of three IANA functions that are of equal importance to the well-functioning Internet. The Contract should therefore be drafted in such a way that the full range of IANA functions to be performed by the Contractor are reflected throughout the document and treated as separate functions of equal importance. Third, the functional separation between the processing of the IANA functions and the development of associated policies needs further clarification. We believe the current wording is too rigid. The IANA staff are sometimes uniquely qualified to provide informed inputs to the policy making process, based on their technical expertise and operational experience. A good policy development process requires informed technical advice from professional staff to understand why a proposed policy may or may not be implementable, or where it could be more effective, if it is put forward in one way rather than another. Finally, and most importantly, we believe the requirement for the IANA Contractor to document compliance with relevant policies and procedures or, more critically, with relevant national laws, needs to be revisited. To be consistent with the requirement for the functional separation between the processing of the IANA functions and the development of associated policies, it is essential that IANA staff not be required to assess whether or not requests for processing are compliant with relevant policies and procedures, and most certainly not whether they are compliant with relevant national laws. Compliance is a matter for the policy-making bodies the ICANN Board, the RIRs through the NRO, and the IETF. The final SOW must make it clear that the IANA Contractors staff is responsible only for documenting that the relevant organization has stated that their decision is compliant with policy, procedures and laws, and not for judging the accuracy of such statements. Please let us know if you have any comments. Any response submitted by 24 July will be considered in the finalization of our response.

Council chair election
by KnobenW＠telekom.de July 14, 2011

July 14, 2011

All, Please find attached the potential timelines for 2 election procedure options suggested by Stéphane: voting in Dakar vs. Electronic voting (starting at least 3 weeks) before Dakar. One council requirement is that the new council members should take part in the election (although they'll formally assume position at the end of the annual meeting only). Voting in Dakar seems to cope with this requirement at best. The council shall discuss the options at its meeting next week. The election timeline shall have an impact on - CSG and NCPH inhouse co-ordination - election of new council members (to replace or extend the term of Kristina, Adrian, Tim, Zahid, Olga, Jaime and myself) Kind regards Wolf-Ulrich <<GNSO Council Election Procedures for the GNSO Council Chair to be seated in Dakar in October 2011.doc>>
