fucked.nyc
by Joly MacFie Sept. 21, 2018

Sept. 21, 2018

I have just been contacted by the former registrant of fucked.nyc. He registered it via namecheap.com on March 3 2015 and renewed it earlier this week. On Feb 18 2017 he received a msg from Neustar informing him that it had been found non-compliant with the "Seven Word Policy" and deleted. Neustar advised him to contact his registrar for any refunds they might care to make. He contacted NameCheap who essentially said "Forgettaboutit'", despite him pointing out that at no time had he been notified about, or agreed to be bound by, any such policy. Here is NameCheap's response: *Recently, you contacted our Live Chat support regarding deletion offucked.nyc <http://fucked.nyc/>. Feel free to use chat ID XQR-359-35382 for reference.We wanted to let you know, that we have forwarded a suggestion about special notices for .NYC domains to the corresponding team.We are really sorry that you faced such a situation and our replies were not so helpful. Different Registry companies can have different policies in regards of registration their domains and they usually reserve a right to change their requirements or delete domains which do not meet them.This does not happen often, still it is not possible to keep customers informed about all the Registry policies or their changes on a contant manner, to our regret.The amount you paid for the domain purchase was used to register/renew the domain at the .NYC Registry. However, the Registry still can delete domains without any refund if they do not meet their requirements. We are working on improving our performance and hopefully special messages on the site can help to avoid such situations in future.If you have questions or require assistance, feel free to contact us at any time.* The registrant did some further research and surmised that Neustar's vigilance could well be due to my Feb 6 letter <http://isoc-ny.org/misc/2017-02-06_isoc-ny_dotnyc.pdf> pointing out they were asleep at the wheel. It appeared to him the relevant page <http://www.ownit.nyc/restricted-reserved> had been hurriedly updated. Since, apparently he has other domains that might also be considered variants on the 7 words, he got back on to Neustar for some clarification, demanded to see a list. 'Guy' at Neustar support informed him that nothing of the like existed - that it was decided on case by case basis - and to add insult to injury sany deleted restricted names might, as policies change, be released and sold to the highest bidder without any recourse for the original registrant. Thus he writes *I have concluded that all of my .nyc domain names (more than 20) were registered without binding terms or a policy of any kind on behalf of Namecheap or Neustar / ownit.nyc <http://ownit.nyc/>, and I suspect that this is a case for a large percentage of sold .nyc domains. Yet my domain name was seized for a breach of policy, a policy I was never introduced to nor agreed to. If any of my other names are added to the list, they can seize it at any time, despite the fact that I've owned them for 2 years now.* *The greatest ethical concern I have is that an entity operating in this way reserves the right to put a domain name on the reserved/restricted list at any point in time, even if it was already sold and owned for 2 years. I was informed by "Guy" at Neustar support that there is a possibility reserved/restricted names will be released in the future, however they are released back to the public (they go back up for sale), not to the original owner. I have many .nyc domain names that appear as variations according to their list.* *Where is the oversight? Who is to prevent Neustar from seizing a domain name for a period of time, then conveniently releasing it later only to buy it themselves using an alias or through a third party?* <snip> *It just doesn't seem right. If Neustar was unable to properly inform name holders on policy creations, changes, and updates in the past 5 years on city tax dollars, I don't think they should operate for another second. It shouldn't take a committee to generate a "no", I think their shady track record in the past 5 years speaks for itself. And this being New York City, we deserve better.* I've responded to him, noting that 7 word policy is in the City's .nyc contract (appears to have been published April 1 2015, and the .nyc Acceptable Use Policy (which doesn't mention that policy but says they can delete at will) has been public since July 2014. Caveat emptor. I noted that Neustar is obligated to file copies of Registrar Registry Agreements with the City, and he could FOIL it to see if NameCheap had met their obligations. I also opined that, in the unlikely event Neustar were to resell a previously deleted name, they would be asking for trouble, However I think he rightfully raises the wider issue of the right of registrants to be properly informed of restrictive gTLD policies before they put their money on the line. Is there something like that in existing policy? And also, to possibly the wider amusement of schoolboys etc, maybe ICANN or somebody should perhaps maintain a definitive reference of unacceptable variants of the 7 words. joly -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Joly MacFie 218 565 9365 Skype:punkcast -------------------------------------------------------------- -

Re: [NA-Discuss] Question about GDRP
by Alan Greenberg May 1, 2018

May 1, 2018

GDPR generally applies to all businesses. There is an exemption about not maintaining records of how data is used, but if a person requests such a record, you would have to reconstruct it after the fact. I was not aware of any exemption on publishing why and how data is collected and processed, but that may be ignorance on my part.

Call for Workshop
by Glenn McKnight April 30, 2018

April 30, 2018

https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/igf-2018-call-for-workshop… IGF 2018 Call for Workshop Proposals *All stakeholders* are invited to submit proposals to hold workshops at the *13th Annual Meeting of the Internet Governance Forum (IGF <https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/lexicon/8#IGF>)* to take place in November/December 2018. An announcement is expected imminently on the exact dates and venue of the meeting. *The deadline for **workshop submissions* <https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/igf-2018-workshop-proposal…>* is 27 May 2018, 23:59 UTC.* *A Thematic Approach to the IGF Programme* Based on inputs from the IGF 2017 stocktaking process as well as the first 2018 IGF Open Consultations, and in line with outcomes of the earlier CSTD Working Group on IGF Improvements and the IGF Retreat organized by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA), this year, many MAG <https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/lexicon/8#MAG> members expressed their preference for having *more concrete, focused and cohesive discussions during the IGF annual meeting*, trying to avoid sessions that duplicate content and concepts, and reducing the number of parallel sessions. It was decided that taking *a more thematic approach* to the programme would be most likely to deliver the requested results. A *bottom-up, community-wide* *Call for Issues* <http://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/index.php?q=filedepot_download/6037…> was held between 26 March and 13 April, during which stakeholders were asked to indicate their areas of interest (‘themes’) and suggest the issues (‘subthemes’) to feature in this year’s programme, including new or emerging ones. The *themes and proposed subthemes* for the meeting have therefore been preliminarily determined through the *more than 300 submissions* <http://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/index.php?q=filedepot_download/6119…> received through this process. *IGF 2018 Workshops* The *IGF 2018 Call for Workshops* incorporates the results of the Call for Issues by inviting proposers to submit under the following *8 themes* <http://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/index.php?q=filedepot_download/6119…> : *Cybersecurity, Trust & Privacy; Digital Inclusion & Accessibility; Emerging Technologies; Evolution of Internet Governance; Human Rights, Gender & Youth; Development, Innovation & Economic Issues; Media & Content; and Technical & Operational Topics.* In addition, proposers are invited to select from *more than* *50* <http://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/index.php?q=filedepot_download/6132…> <https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/index.php?q=filedepot_download/613…> *subthemes* <http://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/index.php?q=filedepot_download/6132…> classified under the themes. These cover a broad range of Internet governance interests and include topics as varied as* Access & Connectivity*, *Cyberdiplomacy*,* Encryption*,* Internet & the Environment*,* Local Content*, and *Virtual Reality*, among many others. Proposers may also* write in a subtheme of their choosing.* *Workshop Evaluations* The four major *criteria in the evaluation process* <https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/igf-2018-workshop-review-a…> will centre around *Relevance, Content, Diversity, and Format* <https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/igf-2018-workshop-session-…> of each proposal. Proposers are strongly advised to pay particular attention *to ensuring gender, regional and stakeholder diversity* within their organizing teams, as well as among their listed speakers, as these will be reviewed against diversity criteria <https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/igf-2018-workshop-review-a…>, which is a key measure. Proposers are further advised that they should have a minimum of three speakers listed and to *limit their number of speakers to five* wherever possible, in particular when selecting a panel format, so as to ensure space in their session for participant engagement. While this is not a disqualifying criteria, excessive numbers of speakers will result in lower support for the proposal. Please note that *individual speakers will be limited to three sessions* after the selection process. *All proposers should consult the detailed documents below before making a submission.* Resource documents include an* abbreviated manual for proposers*, a *step-by-step overview of the screening and evaluation process by the Secretariat and MAG, *as well as *explanations on workshop formats and how they may impact evaluation criteria*. *IMPORTANT IGF 2018 WORKSHOP RESOURCES:* *> IGF 2018 Workshop Submission Form <https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/igf-2018-workshop-proposal…>* *> **Short Manual for Proposers* <http://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/index.php?q=filedepot_download/6132…> *>* *IGF 2018 Workshop Review Process and Criteria* <https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/igf-2018-workshop-review-a…> *>* *Workshop Session Formats, Durations & Associated Criteria* <https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/igf-2018-workshop-session-…> *>* *IGF 2018 Workshop Report Template* <http://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/index.php?q=filedepot_download/6132…> *>* *Statistics on Selected IGF 2017 Proposals* <http://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/index.php?q=filedepot_download/4931…> (reference document on last year's proposals) *>* *Statistics on All IGF 2017 Proposals Received* <http://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/index.php?q=filedepot_download/4415…> (reference document on last year's proposals) *The final selection of workshops will take place during the IGF 2018 Second Open Consultations and MAG Meeting, scheduled on 11-13 July 2018 in Geneva, Switzerland.* Glenn McKnight NARALO Secretariat mcknight.glenn(a)gmail.com skype gmcknight twitter gmcknight 289-830 6259 .

Question about GDRP
by Eduardo Diaz April 30, 2018

April 30, 2018

A friend of mine quoted the following from an article written here (bullet #9): https://government.diginomica.com/2018/01/22/gdpr-compliance-here-are-the-1… *"Smaller firms – those defined as having 250 employees or less – do not have to comply with all GDPR rules as standard. If your organisation falls into this band, there’s no need to have documentation of why personal data is being collected and processed, the information you’re storing or how long for. Smaller firms are not required to maintain a record of processing activities unless this carries a risk to the rights and freedoms of data subjects, it is a regular occurrence, or it relates to certain data like criminal convictions and offences."* The question: Is this statement true or false. If false what 's the real thing? Thanks to whomever answers this. -ed
