Additional Explanatory Memorandum on Morality and Public Order Objection Considerations in New gTLDs
by At-Large Staff Oct. 30, 2008

Oct. 30, 2008

Additional Explanatory Memorandum on Morality and Public Order Objection Considerations in New gTLDs http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-29oct08-en.htm (Note for At-Large community members attending Cairo: a compilation of all new GTLD documents will be made available to you in Cairo) 29 October 2008 An additional explanatory memorandum is being posted today for public comments http://www.icann.org/en/topics/new-gtld-comments-en.htm to assist with the understanding of the implementation work related to morality and public order objections in New gTLDs. The memorandum is also available for download at the New gTLD Program webpage. ICANN has recently released the new generic top-level domain (gTLD) Draft Applicant Guidebook and a series of explanatory memoranda for Public Comments http://www.icann.org/en/topics/new-gtld-comments-en.htm. The memorandum being posted today is part of this series. The Draft Applicant Guide document provides information to applicants wanting to apply for a new gTLD. All documents are being posted in English only at this point but will be soon be available in Arabic, Chinese, French, Spanish and Russian. It is important to note that they are drafts for discussion. Potential applicants for new gTLDs should not rely on any of the proposed details of the new gTLD program. The new gTLD program remains subject to further consultation. New GTLDs and the Internet Openness Change Innovation After years of discussion and thought, new generic top-level domains (gTLDs) are being expanded. They will allow for more innovation, choice and change to a global Internet presently served by only 21 generic top-level domain names. As a not-for profit corporation dedicated to coordinating the Internet's addressing system, ICANN is not doing this to add to its revenue. An implementation plan is being developed with opportunities for public comment. There will be processes for objections. There has also been detailed technical scrutiny to ensure the Internet's stability and security. There will be an evaluation fee but it will recover costs only (expenses so far, application processing and anticipated legal costs). Promoting competition and choice is one of the principles upon which ICANN was founded. In a world with 1.5 billion Internet users (and growing), diversity, choice and innovation are key. The Internet has supported huge increases in choice, innovation and the competition of ideas, and expanding new gTLDs is an opportunity for more.

Spanish version of ALAC Review Mid-Point Report
by Nick Ashton-Hart Oct. 28, 2008

Oct. 28, 2008

Dear LACRALO Members: The spanish version of the Board Governance Committee's ALAC Review Working Group's Mid-Point Report is not yet posted on icann.org. While it will be posted soon, I thought many of you would want to receive it as soon as it was available so I have attached it to this message. Here below is the announcement of the english version of the document. I will provide the spanish version as soon as it is posted. --- The ALAC Review Working Group (WG) has released its Mid-point Consultation Report [PDF, 285K] for discussion with the ICANN community. This preliminary report presents the WG's "initial thinking" on the questions under review following the publication of the Independent Review of the At Large Advisory Committee by Westlake Consulting. It is based on consultation that the WG has undertaken with the ICANN community at the Paris meeting, through an online comment forum and at meetings with a variety of groups with the ICANN community. A summary of the consultation is contained in an appendix to the report. The WG is publishing this Mid-point Consultation Report now in order to engage the ICANN community and staff in dialogue at an early stage of its thinking. Comments on this paper will be very welcome and the WG encourages all interested parties to attend workshops during the ICANN Meeting in Cairo and/or post comments on the public comment forum. This mid-point consultation document includes a discussion of areas of emerging agreement, possible recommendations, and questions that need to be addressed. It does not reach, and should not be interpreted as reaching, any definitive recommendations or conclusions at this time. The WG will continue to consult with the community over the coming months with a view to publishing final recommendations for discussion at the Mexico meeting in early 2009. This initial posting contains the text in English. Translations will be available shortly.

Public Comment Open on new report: "Revisiting Vertical Separation of Registries and Registrars"
by Nick Ashton-Hart Oct. 28, 2008

Oct. 28, 2008

Public Comment: CRAI Report on gTLD Registries and Registrars http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-24oct08-en.htm 24 October 2008 ICANN has received a report today, issued by CRA International, titled "Revisiting Vertical Separation of Registries and Registrars" ( http://www.icann.org/en/topics/new-gtld-crai-report-24oct08-en.pdf) [PDF, 493K]. ICANN requested CRAI to perform economic research pursuant to two resolutions of the ICANN Board of Directors: 1. The 18 October 2006 resolution of ICANN's Board of Directors seeking more information relating to the registry and registrar marketplace; and, 2. The 26 June 2008 resolution of ICANN's Board, directing the development and completion of a detailed implementation plan for the new gTLD Policy. CRAI's report makes certain recommendations regarding the relationship between registries and registrars. In particular, the CRAI report makes two proposals that might apply to the implementation of the new gTLD program. First, CRAI proposes that, for single organization TLDs, that organization be permitted to operate both the registry and the registrar that sells second-level domain name subscriptions. Second, CRAI proposes that a registry may own a registrar so long as the wholly-owned registrar does not sell second-level domain names subscriptions in the TLDs operated by the registrar. ICANN would like to solicit public comment on these proposals, which if implemented, would have an immediate effect on applications under the new gTLD program. Comments on the CRAI report are welcome via email to crai-report(a)icann.org. An archive of all comments received will be publicly posted at http://forum.icann.org/lists/crai-report/. NOTE: CRA International (CRAI) is a highly respected economic consulting firm. ICANN asked CRAI to consider issues associated with certain competitive aspects at the registry and registrar level, including registry-registrar separation, for the purpose of helping guide the discussions related to the new TLD program. CRAI does not speak for ICANN, and ICANN has not adopted this report. ICANN's Board, Management and Staff have not taken a position regarding this report. ICANN hopes that the community will benefit from the report and welcomes comments on it.

Re: [lac-discuss-en] [ALAC] Draft revised Rule 21 - Minimum Participation Requirements
by Izumi AIZU Oct. 25, 2008

Oct. 25, 2008

I just made the following comment on the wiki. -------------- I was surprised to read this draft. I share most of opinions and sentiments written above. If we adopt this, I would suggest to change the title from "Minimum Participation Requirements" to "Detailed Participation Obligations", which of course is not what we need. I am also concerned about the "tone" of this document. While I do agree and understand that our performance should be measured, both individually and collectively, and improved, we have different ideas and habits for "volunteers" or "work" or how to conduct in the meetings etc. By applying "whips", as this document suggests, or detailed text-book like obligations, may be, to me, quite counter-productive. I also note that there is no mention of kind of "support" ALAC members and Liaisons are expected to receive from Staff or from ICANN. I also think that there is a need, perhaps, to define the Executive Commitee clearly, in the RoP. Finally, I like to see the "functional ALAC", that means, have reasonable division of labor, help each other, work as a team in trust. I hope the "minimum" requirements will lead to produce that. izumi
