Re: [NA-Discuss] ICANN Fellowship and US Terrritories
by Alan Greenberg March 21, 2015

March 21, 2015

Glenn raised an interesting concern, but one that according to Janice is already solved. These islands ARE eligible for the Fellowship. Evan pointed out that according to ICANN regions, there are in the wrong place. The Geographic Regions Review Working Group issued a report on this in June 2013 and recommended that such territories could move region if they wished (but subject to objection from the "mother country"). Report can be found at http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/geo-regions-final-report-22jun1…. I do not know whether the Board ever acted on it. The only question is whether Chris chooses to visit these islands instead of Save. It's a hard job, but someone needs to do it! ;-) Alan At 20/03/2015 05:52 AM, Evan Leibovitch wrote: >Hi Janice. > >One difficulty of the spreadsheet is that ICANN's geographic slicing and >dicing of the world is not the same as the UN's.

ICANN Fellowship and US Terrritories
by Glenn McKnight March 20, 2015

March 20, 2015

Hi Janice I hope all is well In the past under Garth's leadership we have tried to reach out to the US territories for their involvement with ICANN. ie. NARALO In research we discovered that these US terrioritories live in a limbo situation with regards to their political status. On one hand they are US territory but the citizens do not have the right to vote. My concern is that they according to the UN research exist in a situation that places them as US property but they have income similar to least developed states https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/index.php?menu=1523 The list from UN Listing of Small Island Developing Nations American Samoa Federated State of Micronesia Guam Marianas Marshall Islands These five locations have unique Internet access issues. Among of which is some of the most expensive Internet service rates. My understanding is that these locations do not qualify for an application to the ICANN Fellowship program due to their US affiliation despite their low per capita income, Is this correct? Can you please provide us with clarification on this issue. What is the process of rectifying this situation. Happy to chat about this. ( not looking for a trip to the islands[?]) Thanks Glenn Glenn McKnight mcknight.glenn(a)gmail.com skype gmcknight twitter gmcknight .

Forwarding, since I guess this is a NA issue. *From:* David Farber via ip [mailto:ip@listbox.com] *Sent:* March 5, 2015 7:01 AM *To:* ip *Subject:* [IP] About ICANN and Crimea Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications of the Russian Federation <http://minsvyaz.ru/en/>Report mistakes <http://minsvyaz.ru/en/contacts/letter/> Events <http://minsvyaz.ru/en/events/list/>/ Official statement <http://minsvyaz.ru/en/events/list/?type=22> Russia Disputed Against Removal of Crimean Domains in ICANN *Singapore, February 11, 2015.* — Julia Elanskaya, Deputy Director of Department on International Collaboration of Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications, made an official statement on 52nd meeting of Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), opened at the beginning of the week in Singapore. She paid attention to recent decision of American registrar, cancelling domains, registered on the territory of Crimea. Full text of the statement is presented below. “We want to draw your attention to recent decision of American registrar. It informed its clients, located in a specific region, about cancellation of accounts, domains and their withdrawal starting from January 31, 2015. Registrar refers to trading limitations that don’t allow American companies to run a business with individuals and enterprises, located in Crimea. Russia has always been against introduction of sanctions in ICT sphere, particularly, regarding the Internet. Sanctions, especially those, that are imposed on the Internet users, must be considered as restriction of right of every person to receive and distribute information and ideas through mass media independently of state borders, as it is established in Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This precedent contradicts with values of International meeting at the highest level on information society, especially with principles of using ICT for ensuring general access to information in accordance with Tunisian program on information society.*[MG] * (presumably the WSIS Declaration). We want to mention that this precedent shows real situation in sphere of Internet-governance, when one government unilaterally adopts measures, discriminating users rights on area basis. At the same time this government controls governance of domain name system throughout the world. Such unilateral restrictions undermine universally multilaterally recognized principles and values and trust in open and interconnected information space. They can also damage development of Internet-governance mechanisms and lead to its fragmentation. These restrictions also damage multilateral model of Internet-governance and clearly demonstrate its inefficiency. We suppose that it’s necessary to ensure more fair allocation of Internet-governance means based on international agreements between countries under the aegis of the United Nations. Russian Federation encourages all interested parties of all countries refrain from blocking in the Internet, including blocking of domain names for political purposes and make efforts for enforcement Internet-users rights. -- --------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------- -
