FY19 Additional Budget Requests - Timeline and Criteria
by ICANN At-Large Staff Jan. 8, 2018

Jan. 8, 2018

Dear All, This note is to announce that the FY19 Additional Budget Request process has started. This process pertains to a dedicated part of the overall ICANN annual budget that is set aside to fund specific requests from the community for activities that are not already included in the recurring ICANN budget. FY19 Additional Budget Requests cover the period 1 July 2018 through 30 June 2019. The relevant information is available on the At-Large FY19 Additional Budget Request Workspace<https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+FY19+Additional+Budget…>, including the key deadlines, details of the process, principles and the request template. The ALAC Subcommittee on Finance and Budget<https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/ALAC+Subcommittee+on+Finance+an…> (FBSC) plays a key role in reviewing all At-Large FY19 Additional Budget Requests for submission to ICANN. IMPORTANT: In 2016, the members of the FBSC agreed to the following criteria for At-Large proposals: * Outreach should not be a major focus. Activities to improve engagement with existing members is encouraged. * If any request is made on outreach, it should probably go through the CROP program and not this special request process. * Proposals should include ways in which will make the ALAC and/or the At-Large community more effective and develop the At-Large community. * RALO requests must go through a bottom up process within their RALO prior to being submitted for consideration by the FBSC. * They must be explicitly supported by the RALO representative on the FBSC. * Staff is currently expecting that basic resources for community communications/printing will be supported through the core ICANN budget, but that community proposals for printing , etc. will be accepted as a back-up in case expectations change. Specific proposals for communications resources beyond simple printing and editing functions should be prepared and submitted. IMPORTANT: Between now and 12 January 2018 the RALOs are asked to review any ALS request or complete a template on behalf of the RALO and send requests to At-Large Staff<mailto:staff@atlarge.icann.org>. Kind regards, ICANN Policy Staff in support of the At-Large Community E-mail: staff(a)atlarge.icann.org<mailto:staff@atlarge.icann.org> Website: atlarge.icann.org<https://atlarge.icann.org/> Facebook: facebook.com/icann<https://www.facebook.com/icannatlarge>atlarge<https://www.facebook.com/icannatlarge> Twitter: @<https://twitter.com/ICANNAtLarge>ICANNAtLarge<https://twitter.com/ICANNAtLarge> [unknown.png]

Ecuador 2017 - Estado Derechos Humanos e Internet - Resumen Anual
by Alfredo Velazco Dec. 29, 2017

Dec. 29, 2017

El año 2017 se ha visto marcado en el país por un proceso electoral al inicio de año, de cambio de autoridades al mediado del mismo, y de varias denuncias de corrupción y delitos que salpican el anterior gobierno; dentro de ese panorama el libre ejercicio de los derechos se vieron vulnerados o amenazados en internet. En un monitoreo realizado 24/7 por Usuarios Digitales a lo largo del año, se han registrado 106 casos, de diferente naturaleza los cuales se han dado desde principios de enero hasta finales de noviembre, a la hora de escribir esta nota, quedando clasificados de la siguiente forma: *Hackeo/Intrusión (27 casos)* *Amenazas a la integridad (18 Casos)* *Abuso de Copyright (3 casos)* *Ataque DDoS (3 Casos)* *Información Falsa (6 casos)* *Datos personales (9 Casos)* *Legislación Amenazante (9 casos)* *Políticas de Red Social (24 casos)* *Procesos Judiciales (7 casos)* *[image: Imágenes integradas 1]* *RESUMEN* Fue durante el periodo de la campaña electoral en Ecuador donde se dieron la mayoría de las incidencias en cuanto a Hackeos/Intromisión, donde destacan los casos de las cuentas de Twitter de un candidato a Vicepresidente de la oposición y varios políticos, casos registrados de mayo 15 al 23. También se dieron amenazas a la integridad en el mismo contexto durante marzo, principalmente contra actores políticos afines al gobierno anterior. Portales informativos, oficiales del tema electoral y de oposición al régimen anterior, tuvieron afectaciones durante el proceso. Dentro del año también hemos visto un del uso intensivo de internet, y en especial de las redes sociales, por parte de activistas de género y el incremento de la violencia digital especialmente contra mujeres y personas del grupo LGBTI. Un evento que creó un incremento del debate fue la “Ley Orgánica Integral para Prevenir y Erradicar la Violencia Contra de las Mujeres”, lastimosamente no solo se utilizó internet para exponer puntos encontrados sino también mensajes violentos con tintes religiosos, homofóbicos y contra mujeres, incluso las acciones se trasladaron también a ataques físicos. Casos a resaltar también son las campañas que durante el año permitieron visibilizar la violencia de género que se vive en el país, sin que la nueva ley permita equiparar la violencia digital y la revisa colateralmente. Durante el segundo semestre del 2017 y con un incremento de casos de corrupción y otros delitos que se comenzaron a procesar, se incrementaron también ataques a periodistas y activistas que venían realizando denuncias durante años incluso ataques al propio Presidente entrante. Periodistas de varios medios y activistas, recibieron ataques de diversas formas, desde hashtags denigrantes orquestados como campañas, hasta inicio de acciones judiciales por publicaciones en internet. Por su lado el Presidente entrante, Lenín Moreno, también sufrió ataques a su privacidad y campañas de desprestigio en redes sociales y buscadores. La legislación y políticas públicas que deben proteger los derechos también en internet, estuvieron bajo ataque. Principalmente desde el poder político se amenazó con leyes contra el anonimato, se presentaron proyectos contra el odio que afectaba la libertad de expresión y se aprobaron otras para dar baja de contenido como el Código Ingenios. Finalmente se presentaron otros casos importantes de afectaciones de servicio. El caso que causó mayor revuelo fue el problema con el sitio que mostraba el conteo de votos del CNE, tanto en primera como segunda vuelta presidencial y que llevó a especular sobre la transparencia del conteo. También el caso del daño a un cable submarino que habría afectado al 30% de la población, esto durante una investigación en casos de corrupción que relacionaban al dueño de la empresa propietaria del cable. *MÁS DETALLES:* http://www.usuariosdigitales.org/2017/12/13/internet2017ec- derechos-humanos-e-internet-ecuador-2017-resumen-anual/ Saludos, *USUARIOS DIGITALES* Av.

New Report Presents Syntax and Operability Accuracy of WHOIS Data in gTLDs
by Carlton Samuels Dec. 21, 2017

Dec. 21, 2017

[image: ICANN] <http://www.icann.org/> News Alert https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2017-12-19-en ------------------------------ New Report Presents Syntax and Operability Accuracy of WHOIS Data in gTLDs 19 December 2017 LOS ANGELES – 19 December 2017 – Today, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) published the WHOIS Accuracy Reporting System (ARS) Phase 2 Cycle 5 Report. This is a follow-up to previous ARS Reports which have been published semi-annually since December 2015. *Read the Report* <https://whois.icann.org/en/file/whois-ars-phase-2-cycle-5-report-syntax-and…> . The report explores both the syntax and operability accuracy of WHOIS records in generic top-level domains (gTLDs) as compared to the requirements of the 2009 and 2013 Registrar Accreditation Agreements (RAAs). It also examines the leading types of nonconformance, trends, and comparisons of WHOIS accuracy across gTLD types, ICANN regions, and RAA versions. The ICANN org developed accuracy tests <https://whois.icann.org/en/whoisars-validation> to answer questions about the syntax (format and content) and operability (e.g., does an email sent to the email address provided in the WHOIS record go through?) of a sample of WHOIS records. Then, using statistical methods, syntax and operability accuracy estimates were provided for the population of domains in gTLDs as a whole, as well as for several subgroups of interest. Key Findings The analysis found that: - Nearly all WHOIS records contain information that can be used to establish immediate contact: In 98 percent of records, at least one email or phone number meets all operability requirements of the 2009 RAA. - Approximately 94 percent of email addresses, 67 percent of telephone numbers, and 98 percent of postal addresses were operable (see Table 1 below for more information). *Table 1: Overall gTLD Operability Accuracy by Contact Mode (95 percent confidence interval)* *Email* *Telephone* *Postal Address* *All Three Accurate* *All Three Contacts (Registrant, Technical, Administrative) Accurate* *93.8% ± 0.4%* *66.9% ± 0.8%* *98.4% ± 0.3%* *63.4% ± 0.9%* - In terms of syntax accuracy, approximately 99 percent of email addresses, 90 percent of telephone numbers, and 89 percent of postal addresses were found to meet all the requirements of the 2009 RAA (see Table 2 below for more information). *Table 2: Overall gTLD Syntax Accuracy to 2009 RAA Requirements by Contact Mode (95 percent confidence interval)* *Email* *Telephone* *Postal Address* *All Three Accurate* *All Three Contacts (Registrant, Technical, Administrative) Accurate* *99.6% ± 0.1%* *90.2% ± 0.5%* *88.9% ± 0.6%* *81.5% ± 0.8%* The report also shows a breakdown of accuracy rates by ICANN region (see Figure 1 below for more information). *Figure 1: Overall gTLD Syntax and Operability Accuracy by ICANN Region* [image: Overall gTLD Syntax and Operability Accuracy by ICANN Region] <https://icann.org/sites/default/files/assets/icann-region-gtld-syntax-opera…> Next Steps Results included in the report have been provided to ICANN's Contractual Compliance team, which will assess the types of errors found and follow up with registrars on potentially inaccurate records. If WHOIS inaccuracy and/or format complaints are created from the WHOIS ARS data, ICANN Contractual Compliance will issue tickets in accordance with the Contractual Compliance Approach and Process <https://icann.org//en/system/files/files/overall-03oct14-en.pdf> [PDF, 292 KB]. Compliance provides updates on a quarterly basis, which include updates on WHOIS ARS tickets and can be found here <https://icann.org//resources/pages/compliance-reports-2016-04-15-en>. In response to ICANN community requests, the ICANN org now publishes additional metrics on the WHOIS ARS Contractual Compliance Metrics page here <https://icann.org//resources/pages/compliance-reports-2016-04-15-en>. The ICANN org will begin work on the next WHOIS ARS report in January 2018, with a targeted publication date of June 2018.

To reach another person on the Internet, you have to type an address into your computer - a name or a number – into your computer or other device. That address must be unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN helps coordinate and support these unique identifiers across the world. ICANN was formed in 1998 as a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation with a community of participants from all over the world.
