NARALO General Assembly
by Glenn McKnight Feb. 4, 2015

Feb. 4, 2015

Hi Folks It's this time for the ALAC Finance and Budget submission and the deadline is February 4th, 2015 One of the ideas that has merit is a proposal to do a NARALO General Assembly. This assembly could be scheduled during the ARIN meetings in Montreal during early October. This will be the first NARALO General Assembly and also it's been 16 months since ATLAS 2. This meeting is an Inreach meeting to build capacity. The session would also be streamed to permit members who could not make the sessions This request would be off season so it would be reasonable and North American travel to Montreal isn't that expense including the two ALS''s from PR. Please comment on this idea to warrant a submission Thanks all skype gmcknight twitter gmcknight .

Proposal to Change ICANN Compliance Oversight
by Garth Bruen Feb. 4, 2015

Feb. 4, 2015

Dear colleagues, Following a multi-year analysis of the way ICANN handles its compliance function and being directly involved in the existing process every level I have come to the conclusion that some changes are required if ICANN is to actually be accountable and transparent. There are some fundamental problems within the organization which prevent compliance from operating in a truly independent fashion which serves all parties equally. In short, ICANN compliance has been unable enforce the contract with registrars in specific cases and has been unable to explain why. Testing of the compliance process at every level has revealed technical failures, inconsistencies and lost complaints. Compliance staff failed to recognize violations for an extended period of time and later contradicted their own findings in later statements. The overall issue is we have been regularly assured that Compliance is not only fair but up to the challenges of an expanding Internet. Multiple discoveries call fairness and ability into question. Through cases presented directly by At-Large to Compliance staff we stressed the importance of accepting patterns of abuse and not simply single complaints. While Compliance staff agreed to this on transcript in Singapore, they later rejected the same patterns of abuse in private. One of the more problematic discoveries in this analysis concerns the oversight of compliance itself. As many of you are aware the current CEO moved compliance from under the Legal department to his direct supervision. This was seen by the community as a positive move. However, budget documents show that Compliance actually receives its funding from ICANN's Business division. Additional Compliance funds also still originate with Legal. Having the domain-business division fund Compliance appears to be an inherent conflict of interest and does not engender community trust. While we were told Compliance was being made more independent, this was not the case. It has also been revealed that the head of Compliance is the wife of a business associate of both the CEO and the head of ICANN's Business Division. The main recommendation listed in the proposal is to move Compliance outside the organization. I am also recommending that the community become directly involved in Compliance oversight. I have detailed the history and recommendations here: https://community.icann.org/display/NARALO/NARALO+Reports+on+ICANN+Complianc e+-+January+2015 A formal memo to be forwarded to ALAC is here: https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/51417250/icann_alac_memo_on _compliance.pdf A timeline of critical events is also posted here: https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/51417250/APPROVEDONLINEPHAR MACY_public.pdf I am looking to move this agenda through At-Large starting within NARALO. Please feel free to send any questions or concerns to me and discuss this on the list. -Garth ------------------------------------- Garth Bruen gbruen(a)knujon.com 617-947-3805 http://www.knujon.com Chair of ICANN At-Large North America (naralo.org) http://www.linkedin.com/pub/4/149/724 Twitter: @Knujon Skype: gobruen "If history is deprived of the Truth, we are left with nothing but an idle, unprofitable tale" -Polybius

Re: [NA-Discuss] Support for a new initiative within At-Large
by Thomas Lowenhaupt Jan. 29, 2015

Jan. 29, 2015

All, My earlier brief comment of support to Garth was just to let him know I was with him on this. I now believe it too brief to express the importance of his effort, thus this email. Most broadly, having an independent entity to oversee these issues is vital. With these questions being central to the ongoing global discussions about IANA / NTIA issues, Garth's paper needs attention now. (My own interactions with IANA/ICANN with regard to the .nyc TLD left me less than satisfied. Time permitting, I'd like to be more engaged in those discussions. So I'm delighted to see Garth's paper. ) Beyond the specific abuses detailed in his report, I found the relationships between the various executives eye opening. I urge all to read the document.

Re: [NA-Discuss] NARALO General Assembly
by Alan Greenberg Jan. 27, 2015

Jan. 27, 2015

Although I think that this is a great idea and has the potential for getting a lot of out NARALO members more informed and possibly involved with ARIN, there are considerations that may make it difficult. - The ARIN meeting is on Thursday, October 8 and Friday, October 9. That is just a few days before the start of the pre-ICANN events for ICANN 54 in Dublin (and since this is an Annual General Meeting of ICANN, there tend to be more activities in the week preceding the formal meeting (October 17-23). It would be difficult to have support from At-Large Staff and Constituency Travel. - Two other regions have already indicated that they plan to request a General Assembly (EURALO and AFRALO), so a third one may be a bit of a hard sell in one budget year. Although potentially the NA GA could be funded in lieu of another region, the timing above makes that less likely. - Glenn's note proposes to hold the GA "during" the ARIN meeting. Is that really what was meant? If the meetings overlap, doesn't that negate the benefit of holding the two meetings in the same location? I presumed that the intent was to hold the GA immediately before or after the ARIN meetings. That being said, if NARALO does make this request, there will need to be clarity on: - Will you bring the ALS reps in for just the GA, or the ARIN meeting as well? - If the latter, this will need the agreement of ARIN that they can accommodate the additional people. - If you are expecting funding from ARIN, that will need to be clarified as well. - You will need to clearly state what the intent of the GA is, and what are the expected outcomes. - In light of the close proximity to the Dublin meeting, it will make a difference whether you are proposing to have the GA before or after the ARIN meeting.

This sounds like a great idea , I can fully support that as I have a number of connections in the startup scene there...also Alan G. is close by. Montreal has a vibrant startup community that relies on the internet. They should be paying attention to development, not to mention the students at McGill and other Universities in the city.

Fwd: Civil Society Statement on GAC Sub-Group's Proposal on "Geographic Names" in Top Level Domain Names
by Joly MacFie Jan. 12, 2015

Jan. 12, 2015

Hi, below is the CS statement on geographic names, as fwded by Robin Gross to the NCSG, that I mentioned on today's call. At-Large has issued a documentt https://community.icann.org/display/alacpolicydev/At-Large+Draft+Document+f… My limited understanding is that what is at issue is a proposed "GAC veto" on geographic names. My question is.. is there a conflict between the two positions? Or any other aspects ISOC-NY should take in to consideration when deciding whether to support the CS statement. j ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Robin Gross <robin(a)ipjustice.org> Date: Mon, Dec 29, 2014 at 1:25 AM Subject: [NCSG-Discuss] Civil Society Statement on GAC Sub-Group's Proposal on "Geographic Names" in Top Level Domain Names To: NCSG-DISCUSS(a)listserv.syr.edu Hello All, If any of NCSG's member organizations (or NCSG as a whole) would like to sign-on to this civil society statement regarding a GAC sub-group's proposal to give governments veto power on new top level domain names that use "geographic names" please let me know asap. The GAC sub-group's proposal on "geographic names" and other comments submitted on this proposal are available here: https://gacweb.icann.org/display/gacweb/Governmental+Advisory+Committee The GAC's deadline for comments is 31 December, so please let me know by 30 December if your civil society organization would like to sign-on to this joint civil society statement; it is currently open for sign-on by other civil society organizations until 30 December. Or send in your own comment on the proposal if you are so inclined (at the link above) by 31 December. Holiday deadlines are tough, I know! I think this is a very important policy issue for protecting freedom of expression and the positive development of the multi-stakeholder model for Internet governance. Thanks very much! All best, Robin -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Joly MacFie 218 565 9365 Skype:punkcast WWWhatsup NYC - http://wwwhatsup.com http://pinstand.com - http://punkcast.com VP (Admin) - ISOC-NY - http://isoc-ny.org -------------------------------------------------------------- -

Outreach and CROPP
by Glenn McKnight Jan. 7, 2015

Jan. 7, 2015

Hi All Evan and I would like to share with you the video clip from Non Profit Radio hosted by Tony Martignetti Tony Martignetti Nonprofit Radio <http://tonymartignetti.com/category/tony-martignetti-nonprofit-radio/> http://tonymartignetti.com/2015/01/last-best-of-nonprofit-radio-2014/ We did this segment when we attended the NTEN 14 in Washington . We asked him to interview us on the new GTLD program and Andrew Mack spoke about the .NGO launched by PIR. This is a reminder to all members who are attending CROPP trips to think outside the box to gain some free promotion. It's a great to explain our core activities to a complete stranger to a large audience. I already plan on seeing Tony again this year and I will followup with him on the issue of Accessibility and IT which is one of the topics at the NTC 15. I requested an opportunity to video the seminar but they are control the media. Alternatively I will be doing a short interview with the presenter afterwards. A detailed posting of the session will follow. Glenn McKnight mcinight.glenn(a)gmail.com <mcknight.glenn(a)gmail.com> skype gmcknight twitter gmcknight
