________________________________ Von: owner-council(a)gnso.icann.org [mailto:owner-council@gnso.icann.org] Im Auftrag von Glen de Saint Géry Gesendet: Montag, 30. Mai 2011 15:46 An: council(a)gnso.icann.org Betreff: [council] Reminder: ICANN Community Wiki is now fully operational! Reminder: ICANN Community Wiki is now fully operational! Effective June 1st 2011 the ICANN Socialtext wiki is being retired. All of the original data has been successfully migrated to the new Community Wiki, which is located at http://community.icann.org. Please be sure to update all of your Bookmarks or Favorites to reflect the new Community Wiki! ICANN will continue to maintain the system online till 30th June 2011, after which time a backup will be retained in case of an emergency. In order to ensure that this has been a smooth transition, we have been working closely with the various SO/AC groups and Policy Staff in strategizing a rollout plan. This involved setting up the new workspaces, migrating the data and any attendant clean-up required of the data or structure within a given workspace. (We thank these teams for all of their time and support on this effort!) In addition to the individual SO/AC workspaces, there are: 1. Board Resolutions Tab 2. Projects Tab - (Project workspaces can be created on request) 3. Help Tab - (contains training guides and offers advice on how to obtain assistance) Like before, during the Singapore Meeting next month we are also offering training on the new workspaces on the basic tools needed to navigate the Community Wiki. If there are any concerns or issues please contact your SO/AC representative or submit an email to the ICANN Community Wiki Help Desk community-help(a)icann.org. Regards, Glen de Saint Géry GNSO Secretariat gnso.secretariat(a)gnso.icann.org http://gnso.icann.org

WG: [council] REMINDER Call for Expertise for a drafting team to develop a Whois Service Requirements survey -closes 1 June

________________________________ Von: owner-council(a)gnso.icann.org [mailto:owner-council@gnso.icann.org] Im Auftrag von Glen de Saint Géry Gesendet: Montag, 30. Mai 2011 21:41 An: council(a)gnso.icann.org Betreff: [council] REMINDER Call for Expertise for a drafting team to develop a Whois Service Requirements survey -closes 1 June Dear All, http://gnso.icann.org/announcements/announcement-19may11-en.htm Invitation for volunteers to form a Drafting Team to develop a survey to estimate the level of agreement that the conclusions and assumptions in the Inventory of Whois Service Requirements Report of 29 July 2010 have in the ICANN community. See: http://gnso.icann.org/issues/whois/whois-service-requirements-final-report-… <http://gnso.icann.org/issues/whois/whois-service-requirements-final-report-…> . The goal of the Drafting Team would be to assist staff in developing the format, questions, response scale and scope of the survey. In May 2009 by the GNSO Council requested that staff prepare a compilation of potential future requirements for WHOIS service, based on current requirements and a review of previous GNSO WHOIS policy discussions. This resolution reflected increasing community concerns that the current WHOIS service is deficient in a number of ways, including data accuracy and reliability, as well as in other technical areas noted in recent SSAC reports, such as accessibility and readability of WHOIS contact information in an international environment. The report is a compendium of potential technical requirements and makes no policy recommendations. Some of the potential technical requirements included in the report are the following: a mechanism to find authoritative WHOIS servers; structured queries; a standardized set of query capabilities; a well-defined schema for replies; standardized error messages; improved quality of domain registration data; internationalization; security elements; thick vs. thin WHOIS; and a Registrar abuse point of contact. Staff published a first draft of the report 26 March 2010, solicited input from SOs and ACs, and posted a draft final report reflecting SO and AC input on 31 May. Thus, on 19 May the GNSO Council asked ICANN staff to begin the process of seeking community volunteers Drafting Team for the purpose of developing a survey of views. This invitation is extended to all members of the ICANN community. We urge you to forward to this to all members of the community who may be interested in participating. Expertise in the technical aspects of gTLD Whois, and background on the history of gTLD Whois policy development, would be particularly useful to this group. Please contact the GNSO Council Secretariat at gnso.secretariat(a)gnso.icann.org <mailto:gnso.secretariat@gnso.icann.org> by 01 June 2011 if you are interested in joining the Drafting Team. Please contact Liz Gasster at liz.gasster(a)icann.org <mailto:liz.gasster@icann.org> if you have any questions about the report or the work of this group. Thank you.

WG: [council] Revised Terms of Reference for a Whois Registrant Identification study for your consideration
by KnobenW＠telekom.de May 21, 2011

May 21, 2011

FYI Kind regards Wolf-Ulrich ________________________________ Von: owner-council(a)gnso.icann.org [mailto:owner-council@gnso.icann.org] Im Auftrag von Liz Gasster Gesendet: Freitag, 20. Mai 2011 21:05 An: council(a)gnso.icann.org Betreff: [council] Revised Terms of Reference for a Whois Registrant Identification study for your consideration Dear Councilors, As I mentioned on yesterday's GNSO Council call, a small group of volunteers is proposing the attached revision to an earlier Whois Registration Identification study that was previously developed for Council consideration. (The previous version can be found here: http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-23oct09-en.htm ) As explained in the Rationale, which is also attached, major changes were made to the text of the Terms of Reference, so we are not providing a redline, instead there is a summary, also attached, of the key changes that were made. While the text of the Study Terms of Reference changed significantly to recast the framing of the study, the cost of the study will likely increase only slightly, and no more than 20% at the outside, which will be confirmed if the Council decides to proceed. The volunteer group recommends that Council members forward the documents to your respective groups right away for review and action in the June 9 Council meeting. The members of the volunteer group are: Don Blumenthal Steve DelBianco Kathy Kleiman Chuck Gomes (coordinator) Liz Gasster (ICANN staff) Lisa Phifer (ICANN consultant) Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Liz

BTW, the report was already forwarded to the board through ALAC. * A working team on future Cross Community Working Groups (Jaime is a member of) is expected to present a first report about the GNSO related inputs (scope, working method e.e.) at the Singapore meeting * Whois: A "Drafting Team to develop a survey to estimate the level of agreement that the conclusions and assumptions in the Inventory of Whois Service Requirements Report of 29 July 2010 have in the ICANN community" is to be established (see extra call for volunteers) * Volunteers are requested to form a Charter Drafting Team for the Outreach Task Force (see extra call) * From Sep 11 the council schedule shall turn to a 4-weekly call (instead of 3-weekly so far) * A GNSO schedule for Singapore has been drafted (see attached). Ideas for topics to be discussed with the board, the GAC and the ccNSO are welcome Happy volunteering! Wolf-Ulrich <<GNSO Draft Singapore 2011 v5.xls>>

WG: [council] Invite for Volunteers to Form a Charter Drafting Team for the Outreach Task Force
by KnobenW＠telekom.de May 20, 2011

May 20, 2011

FYI Wolf-Ulrich Dear All, http://gnso.icann.org/announcements/announcement-2-19may11-en.htm One of the recommendations of the ICANN Board Governance Committee was to develop and implement a targeted outreach program to explore the formation of new constituency groups. The Operations Steering Committee developed recommendations on a global outreach program and submitted them to the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council. (See http://gnso.icann.org/drafts/global-outreach-recommendations-21jan11-en.pdf.) On 24 February 2011 the GNSO Council acknowledged receipt of the recommendations by the Operations Steering Committee and directed staff to post the document for forty-five (45) days in the ICANN Public Comment Forum. On 28 April the GNSO Council directed the Operations Steering Committee to review the Summary and Analysis document as well as the comments and make any changes to the proposed recommendations as are deemed appropriate, or to make those changes directly as it sees fit. The Operations Steering Committee determined that no changes were ! necessary. Thus, on 19 May the GNSO Council directed ICANN staff to begin the process of seeking volunteers from the GNSO Council to form a Charter Drafting Team for the Outreach Task Force described in the recommendations as follows: "The GNSO Council should manage the development of the OTF [Outreach Task Force] through the creation of a Drafting Team to develop the OTF's [Outreach Task Force] Charter. The Charter shall include procedures for member recruitment, application, selection, terms and term limits. The Charter should also set goals for the completion of the membership selection process, establishment of a meeting schedule, and participation guidelines. The Charter should establish an initial term for the OTF [Outreach Task Force] of two years. After this period a review should be conducted to review the success of the OTF's [Outreach Task Force] initiatives and, if deemed successful, the OTF's charter could be extended annually." This invitation is extended to all members of the GNSO Community. We urge you to forward to this to all members of the community who may be interested in participating. Please contact the GNSO Council Secretariat at gnso.secretariat(a)gnso.icann.org by 01 June 2011 if you are interested in joining the Drafting Team. Please contact Julie Hedlund at julie.hedlund(a)icann.org if you have any questions about the Outreach Recommendations. Thank you.

by Tony Holmes May 19, 2011

May 19, 2011

Dear ISPCP members. Despite all attempts to arrange a conference call, it appears whatever time/date we select that will always be a problem for certain key members this week. Based on that information I would propose that we do hold the call on Tuesday 24th May commencing at 14.00 UTC. PLEASE MAKE EVERY ATTEMPT TO JOIN THIS CALL. Apologise for constantly having to change the date but with the Singapore meeting quickly approaching it is important to maximise participation on the call. Tony
