by Carlton Samuels Oct. 31, 2012

Oct. 31, 2012

** [image: ICANN] <http://www.icann.org/> News Alert http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-30oct12-en.htm ------------------------------ Pre-Delegation Testing Provider for New gTLDs - Request for Proposals 30 October 2012 ICANN is issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP)<http://www.icann.org/en/news/rfps/pre-delegation-testing-30oct12-en.pdf>to identify one or more providers for the Pre-Delegation testing that is specified in the gTLD Applicant Guidebook<http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/agb>. The set of tests to be performed are specified at a high level in section 5.2. A detailed set of requirements is included in the Request for Proposals. The pre-delegation testing system is expected to be ready to operate by the end of March 2013. Interested parties can send their responses to the Request for Proposals via email to <pre-delegation-testing-bid(a)icann.org<pre-delegation-testing-bid(a)icann.org?subject=Pre-registration%20for%20bidding%20process>>. The Pre-Delegation Testing deadline to submit a response to the Request for Proposals is *20 November 2012*. Questions regarding the RFP should be submitted via email to <pre-delegation-testing-bid(a)icann.org<pre-delegation-testing-bid(a)icann.org?subject=Pre-registration%20for%20bidding%20process>> no later than November 7, 2012. The purpose of the Pre-Delegation Testing is to verify that the applicant has met its commitment to establish registry operations in accordance with the technical and operational criteria described in the gTLD Applicant Guidebook. Each applicant will be required to complete Pre-Delegation Testing as a prerequisite to delegation into the root zone. The test elements cover both DNS server infrastructure and registry system operations (EPP/Whois). In many cases the applicant will perform the test elements as instructed and provide documentation of the results to ICANN to demonstrate satisfactory performance. At ICANN's discretion, aspects of the applicant's self-certification documentation can be audited either on-site at the services delivery point of the registry or elsewhere as determined by ICANN.

Oct. 31, 2012

Dear All: FWIW, I will be in Baku; airfare + hotel is sponsored by LACNIC. Other incidental expenses are my own to bear. I will be a panelist on the Security, Openness and Privacy (SOP) main session organized by Theresa Swinehart of Verizon et. al. We had a preparatory teleconference call yesterday, Tuesday, 30th. Oct. I shall also be a panelist on a Feeder Workshop organised by ISOC-TT (Cintra Sooknanan, Dev Anand Teelucksingh and Tracy Hackshaw) and titled "Internet Governance and Sustainable Development: The Case for Small Islands Developing States. I am also doing duty as a moderator on the main IG4D workshop to which this feeder connects. LACNIC did not request I preview my remarks with them. Neither did they demand I be a booth minder or be in the 'dog and pony' show. - Carlton Samuels ============================== Carlton A Samuels Mobile: 876-818-1799 *Strategy, Planning, Governance, Assessment & Turnaround* =============================

Re: [lac-discuss-en] ICANN Meeting Strategy
by Carlton Samuels Oct. 30, 2012

Oct. 30, 2012

Dear All: So you know, AFRALO leadership has an interest in collaborating on a statement in response; Tijani and Fatimata think a joint statement/approach with LACRALO may be useful here. In my own view, if the original purpose[s] for rotating meetings still stands, then what is proposed is an expedient betrayal of principle. Addressing the visa issue directly, it seems to me so-called Third World countries bend over backwards to facilitate. And that facilitation is often initiated by ICANN with the able support of the local organizing group[s]. Dakar comes top of mind here. And for more than one reason. In contrast, it appears ICANN seems to think - or operates - on an assumption such [extraordinary] facilitation is not necessary for N. American and/or European venues. Maybe because [it thinks] the laws and/or rules are so plain and equitably enforced. Or, the process and/or processing efficiency for visa applications do not require any special intervention. Or, lord love us, some of us are just held to higher standards. FWIW, I have already received my official invitation letter from ICANN for Beijing. And I have requested one from the local organizing host as well. - Carlton ============================== Carlton A Samuels Mobile: 876-818-1799 *Strategy, Planning, Governance, Assessment & Turnaround* ============================= On Tue, Oct 30, 2012 at 1:22 PM, <vanda(a)uol.com.br> wrote: > > [[--Translated text (es -> en)--]] > > From: vanda(a)uol.com.br > > ICANN's proposal is that the two are still Europe and Asia Pacific.

It is important that Europe is fixed because it is the most central region and less visa requirements, which this year was such a disaster in Canada. Latin America: So far there is an offer by the end of 2013 in Latin America, which means that it is becoming difficult as temos rotation now. It was Chile, Uruguay, Brazil twice, Argentina, Colombia, Costa Rica; North America is terrible on visa issues and there is only USA and CANADA, better do as little as possible. African countries were already possible, others not offer suitable conditions, even on flights. Asia Pacific - here is a huge number of countries with hotel and flight conditions rather comfortable for being so long this region there are many countries that make proposals and fail because there are few opportunities.

In this regard I must say it is important that we make a document as a region, in this I agree with Natalia. I made some comments on the site Natalia shared, copied it here if that will help us to discuss about it, also can be found on the site that ICANN had before it: The theme discuss consolidated Strategy Meetings ICANN meetings and participatory processes that take place permanently. I agreement on permanent rotation places for conducting the General Assembly.Believe it important that only perform one of the annual meetings in North America to give more space to other lu I suggest the following -Making the first meeting in two cities in Asia-Pacific Performing the second meeting of the year in a city in North America and the other in one of Europe Perform the third meeting on a rotating basis in cities of Africa (2014), and Latin America (2015) I feel that regional rotation is important and essential to achieve regional diversity that is intended from ICANN and can ensure representatitividad of the different actors involved.

We are back in Toronto, when I can and I reorganize the office I send my report of the meetings. Meanwhile, I want to draw attention to the proposed modification of the Proposal on the consolidation strategy ICANN Meetings (* strategy meetings for public locations). * Public comments can be found on this page http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/meetings-proposal-2012-02oct12-… * (English) * http://www.icann.org/es/news/public-comment/meetings-proposal-2012-02oct12-… * (Spanish) * The dates are: * Opening of Comment: * October 2, 2012 * Closing Comment: * 16 November 2012 * Closing Time (UTC): * Commentary Announcement 23:59 Public <http://www.icann.org/es/news/announcements/announcement-02oct12-es.htm> * Open Response: * November 17, 2012 Present your Entries (Forum) <meetings-proposal-2012(a)icann.org> * Closing the Answer: * December 7, 2012 View Comments submitted <http://forum.icann.org/lists/meetings-proposal-2012/> * Closing Time (UTC): * 23:59 Report brief review public comments * Summary * * PURPOSE: * It is essential that the headquarters of the meeting have excellent facilities that encourage interaction. The purpose is ensure the use of sites that offer the best facilities for conferences. * BACKGROUND: * Since 1999, ICANN identifies and selects sites meetings through a process of proposals by hosts.In 2007, the ICANN implemented a new policy, whereby most of the planning and implementation was under his charge, but keeping the support of local host on government involvement, the Internet bandwidth, the event gala, security and other aspects of the meeting. * DIFFICULTY: * A half that ICANN meetings were taking greater alance and call, were markedly reduced the number of facilities capable of carrying out an ICANN meeting. Furthermore, the number of facilities that effectively meet all criteria selection of venues for meetings is extremely limited. It is becoming increasingly difficult to find new hosts and cities appropriate facilities for the meeting venues. * PROPOSAL: * ICANN identify the best facilities worldwide to take after the ICANN Meeting. Generally, these facilities convention centers are often complemented by hotels nearby.Proposed consolidation of meetings for 2014, 2015 and 2016: • Make the first meeting * year * in two cities in the region * Asia-Pacific. * • Perform * meeting * second year in two cities in Europe *. * * Perform * third meeting of the year on a rotating basis in the following regions: North America (2014), Africa (2015) and * Latin America / Caribbean (2016). * This proposal * can * have an impact on regional diversity. The issues to consider are: • * The equitable regional rotation, is it important or not? • Is it enough to rotate in a "not equal"? • What can be done to mitigate any negative impacts? * As you can see, a * LAC will only touch a meeting every three years *!As affects the participation and access of stakeholders in ICANN, not be moved (either by themselves or by their caseworkers) to regions more distant from our own, either because of cost, access, distance, etc. It is important that we express our opinion as a region, as we directly affected by this proposal.
