You are invited to participate in a webinar about the recently released Whois Misuse Study, conducted for ICANN by Carnegie Mellon University’s Cylab. This study has now been published for public comment, and community feedback is being invited in order to assist ICANN with evaluating potential changes to Whois policy. The study was commissioned by the GNSO to obtain objective and quantifiable information about the extent, nature, and impact of WHOIS public data misuse – that is, harmful actions taken using contact information obtained from WHOIS – through (1) analyzing reported misuse incidents and (2) conducting experiments to measure misuse and the effectiveness of anti-harvesting measures. CMU was engaged to perform the study using two complementary approaches: (1) a descriptive study to document and analyze WHOIS misuse incidents that have already occurred and (2) an experimental study to stimulate and record misuse to in order to measure more reliably the impact of making WHOIS data public and WHOIS query filters applied to deter data harvesting. CMU’s chief researchers on the study, Dr. Nicolas Christin and Mr. Nektarios Leontiadis, and ICANN staff will provide a briefing on Tuesday 17 December at 12.00 UTC and 19.00 UTC, summarizing their findings and conclusions based on the studies they performed and data they analyzed. Amongst other topics, Dr. Clayton will discuss: · CMU’s methodology for the study and the hypothesis tested; · The different project activities that were undertaken for the study; · CMU’s analysis of the data reported and sampled for the study; and · CMU’s conclusions based on the results of its analysis. The two sessions are duplicates, scheduled to accommodate different time zones. Each session, scheduled to run for sixty (60) minutes, will be conducted in English only. The meeting will be run in Adobe Connect with a slide presentation along with a dial-in conference bridge for audio. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions at the end of each session. During the course of the webinar, questions may also be submitted using the chat function of Adobe Connect. If you are not able to participate in either of the live sessions, the recording of the session will be made available shortly after the meeting. The policy staff is always available to answer any questions that you email to policy-staff(a)icann.org<mailto:policy-staff@icann.org>. In order to participate, please RSVP via email to the GNSO Secretariat ( gnso.secretariat(a)gnso.icann.org<mailto:gnso.secretariat@gnso.icann.org>) to receive the call details. Please indicate which call you would like to join on Tuesday 17 December - at 12.00 UTC or at 19.00 UTC (to convert those times into your local time, see: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedform.html) We will send you an e-mail reminder before the event with log-in and dial-in details.

Given: - The proposed bylaw changes keeps the IETF liaison to the Board - The panel TLG keychain present to offer advice to the Board when requested by the Administration and Council to provide advice to the Board on a capacity "guardian dog". I think the elimination of the TLG liaision the Board was given the ok two ms reasons above and those wanted sealar out for those maintain that support the Board TLG link yet. 3) The proposed bylaw changes remove the delegate to TLG Comitde nominations.Given the concerns of who has in the Council with appropriate technique experience, not should support this change and TLG should still be able to select a delegate to integrate Comitde nominations.

Fwd: MSI Panel: A Call to Action
by Carlton Samuels Dec. 3, 2013

Dec. 3, 2013

I truly fear overload for our volunteer community. And with it, our absence from the field. Patrik [Faltstrom] has raised questions whose answers would be key towards a general improvement of our understanding of the process.....and likely impact of community involvement. All this aside, I urge all of you to take a look here. Some folks manage by numbers. And when we look at the policy-making structures and their operations, the South - meaning Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean - are barely noticeable. Yes, there are institutional barriers. But we cannot let those dissuade our engagement. Else we run the risk of being 're-designed' out of the structures..and further marginalised. -Carlton ============================== Carlton A Samuels Mobile: 876-818-1799 *Strategy, Planning, Governance, Assessment & Turnaround* ============================= ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: David Olive <david.olive(a)icann.org> Date: Mon, Dec 2, 2013 at 4:17 PM Subject: [Soac-infoalert] MSI Panel: A Call to Action To: "soac-infoalert(a)icann.org" <soac-infoalert(a)icann.org> Cc: Antony Declercq <antony.declercq(a)icann.org> Designing a 21st Century ICANNHello! The ICANN Strategy Panel on Multistakeholder Innovation<http://www.icann.org/en/about/planning/strategic-engagement/multistakeholde…> (the MSI Panel) and The Governance Lab @ NYU <http://thegovlab.org/> (The GovLab) recently launched an online engagement effort aimed at helping to design a 21st century Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) – the public interest organization responsible for coordinating the Internet’s Domain Name System (DNS). We are writing to request your participation in this important initiative and to help us spread the word! The MSI Panel has been charged with: - Proposing new models for international engagement, consensus-driven policymaking and institutional structures to support such enhanced functions; and - Designing processes, tools and platforms that enable the global ICANN community to engage in these new forms of participatory decision-making. The Panel is a small group of seven with no monopoly on the best ideas for what ICANN should or should not do to coordinate the DNS in the public interest. All suggestions to make ICANN more effective and more democratic – whether constitutional, structural, legal, procedural or technological – will be welcome. While we cannot decide for ICANN, the aim of the MSI Panel is to use its authority to push for real change. Thus, we want ideas that are concrete and specific for innovative processes, structures, platforms, and techniques to design a 21st century ICANN. To gather and organize your input – we’re launching this campaign in three stages: *Stage 1: Idea Generation* – Starting November 19th and running for six weeks via an ideation platform, *Ideascale.* You can access our MSI Panel community page here <http://bit.ly/1dS9sLp>. On the page, you can submit any and all concrete ideas you have. You can rate and rank others’ for importance and practicality. *November 19 - December 31*. *Stage 2: Proposal Development* – Submissions will be grouped into general proposals and opened to discussion using a blog with line-by-line annotation features. This phase will be designed to take ideas closer to implementation. *January 14 - January 21.* *Stage 3: Collaborative Drafting* – Using a wiki, we will invite collaborative drafting on specific proposals that the Panel will submit to the ICANN CEO, Board and community. *January 28 - February 11.* To help us spread the word, we ask you to do any of the following: - Submit ideas and encourage members of your network/community to contribute to the Ideascale community site by providing them with the link: *http://thegovlab.ideascale.com/* <http://thegovlab.ideascale.com/>. - Broadcast our “Call To Action,” for this initiative, which is online *here* <http://bit.ly/HWNxrW>, as widely as possible within your networks. Feel free to link to this post or repost on your website edited to fit your needs. - Share this information within your community and network via mailing lists and listservs. - Use social media platforms such as Facebook or Twitter to spread the word about the campaign. Don’t forget to use the hashtag* #WeCANN*. - To inspire participation and learn how to contribute, watch and share a *video* <http://bit.ly/185t28Q> The GovLab has made for the launch of this distributed brainstorm. - Host your own brainstorming forum and share ideas generated with the MSI Panel on our Ideascale community page.
