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 -------------------------------------------------------------- -

Consensus call: Global Indigenous Ambassador Program (GIAP)
by Eduardo Diaz July 26, 2018

July 26, 2018

@All: The ICANN Global Indigenous Ambassador Program (GIAP) did not get any money under the recently approved ICANN FY 2019-2020 budget which came into effect 1stof July 2018. As a result of this budget cut, the one year old IGIAP is currently defunct. As some of you may know, NARALO was key in focusing efforts outside and within ICANN to outreach to underrepresented indigenous communities in our region. These efforts were initially focused to US and Canada. In July 14, 2017, ICANN announced <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2017-06-14-en> the creation and adoption of a formally structured program to outreach to these communities all over the world and named the program the “*Global Indigenous Ambassador Program” (GIAP). *During the last year we saw fellows participating in ICANN meetings from US, Canada, Columbia and Bolivia indigenous communities. NARALO member Judith Hellerstein started to promote <https://rightscon2018.sched.com/judith4> the program at an international level during the RightsCon 2018 event with good results. Having said that, there is a community consultation process to review the current ICANN Fellowship Program (IFP) which is different in scope to the GIAP. The comment period will be open until July 27, 2018 (see HERE <https://www.icann.org/public-comments/fellowship-proposal-2018-06-11-en>). We have an opportunity to raise our voice and suggest ideas on how we can enhance the IFP with parts of the currently defunct GIAP. I proposed that NARALO puts forward the following comment directly into the IFP consultation process <https://www.icann.org/public-comments/fellowship-proposal-2018-06-11-en>: *“NARALO encourage the existing ICANN Fellowship Program (IFP) to actively outreach to global indigenous communities and designate two fellowships to these communities from their IFP total allocation until such time as the original Global Indigenous Ambassador Program (GIAP) program is reinstated. These communities exist throughout the world. We believe that this abides to the wishes of ICANN to be inclusive and demonstrative that they include this sector of our society as part of the ICANN multi-stakeholder community.”* I have received preliminary feedback about this proposal indicating that what is being asked is for a quota for two IFP slots. This might seem like such but it is not permanent since we are asking for these slots *“… **until such time as the original Global Indigenous Ambassador Program (GIAP) program is reinstated“ *to address this issue. ALAC will be submitting, as part of a long list of suggestions <https://community.icann.org/display/alacpolicydev/At-Large+Workspace%3A+Dra…>, the following comment to the IFP:*“**There should be consideration given to applicants from global indigenous communities to apply as first time Fellows. Subsequently, they would have to meet the criteria for returning fellowships, along with other second/third-time Fellows.”* The comment that I am proposing supports and enhances the ALAC comment by suggesting *“…**to actively outreach to global indigenous communities, designate two fellowships to these communities from their IFP total allocation and until such time as the original Global Indigenous Ambassador Program (GIAP) program is reinstated. *After all, the GIAP was up and running for a year before it got trashed. Please let me know if you have any objections to my proposal. If I do not receive more than three objections, I will proceed to submit the comment as proposed. Otherwise, I will submit the comment directly from me as a member of NARALO. This consensus call will be open until Thursday, October 26, 2018 @ UTC: 16:00. -ed -- *NOTICE:* This email may contain information which is confidential and/or subject to legal privilege, and is intended for the use of the named addressee only.

Fwd: [So-ac-sg-cleaders] GNSO Council Launches EDPD on the Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data - ICANN
by Eduardo Diaz July 23, 2018

July 23, 2018

FYI. -ed ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: David Olive <david.olive(a)icann.org> Date: Thu, Jul 19, 2018 at 6:06 PM Subject: [So-ac-sg-cleaders] GNSO Council Launches EDPD on the Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data - ICANN To: so-ac-sg-cleaders(a)icann.org <so-ac-sg-cleaders(a)icann.org>, SOAC-Leaders-ICANNMeeting-Planning < soac-leaders-icannmeeting-planning(a)icann.org> https://www.icann.org/news/blog/gnso-council-launches-edpd-on-the-temporary… GNSO Council Launches EDPD on the Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data It is an honor to announce that the Generic Names Supporting Organization ( GNSO) Council has just officially launched an Expedited Policy Development Process (EPDP) on the Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data. During our July Council meeting held today at 12:00UTC, the GNSO Council passed <https://community.icann.org/x/DYNHBQ> the Initiation Request <https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/temp-spec…> [PDF, 390 KB] of the Expedited Policy Development Process (EPDP) on the Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data and adopted the EPDP Team Charter <https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/temp-spec…> [PDF, 523 KB]. Both documents are the product of several months of preparatory work on the part of the Council, acting as the Charter and Initiation Request Drafting Team. This important milestone marks the official commencement of the GNSO's very first Expedited PDP. As the name suggests, an EPDP is a Policy Development Process in which the early steps of Preliminary Issue Report and Final Issue Report (and associated public comment periods) are eliminated to fast-track policy development in cases of urgency. The GNSO Council has agreed that the EPDP is the most appropriate response to the ICANN Board's adoption of the proposed Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data. It facilitates meeting the unique time constraints presented by the Temporary Specification, as described in detail in the Background Information section below. Since the Board's adoption of the Temporary Specification on 17 May 2018, the GNSO Council, as Bylaws-mandated manager of the policy development process, has been working hard in preparation for the launch of this EPDP. During an extraordinary meeting on 12 June 2018, the GNSO Council agreed to form a Drafting Team, consisting of Council leadership and interested Council members. Over the next several weeks, including many face-to-face hours at ICANN62 in Panama and many hours of teleconferences in the weeks following ICANN62, the Drafting Team worked tirelessly to reach an agreement on challenging issues such as membership criteria, composition, leadership, and scope of the policy development effort. Incremental changes identified through the PDP 3.0 – a key 2018 initiative of the GNSO Council aimed at improving the effectiveness and efficiency of the PDP – have informed and guided the Charter drafting process. Ultimately, the EPDP Charter is a testament to the true commitment and diligence of the Drafting Team and GNSO Council. It is also with great pleasure that we announce the appointment of Kurt Pritz as the Chair of the EPDP. Following rigorous evaluation of the applications received for the role of Chair of the EPDP, a selection panel unanimously recommended Kurt Pritz for this important position. The GNSO Council has agreed that he possesses the unique skill set needed to lead this EPDP. The GNSO Council has also put out a Call for Volunteers for the EPDP Team; it is expected that the Team will be formed and hold its first meeting during the week of 30 July 2018. This is an achievement that all in the GNSO and the wider ICANN community can be immensely proud of. This milestone could not have been achieved without the dedication, principled compromise, and remarkable efforts of the Drafting Team and GNSO Council members, working in collaboration with their Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies. While the EPDP has put the GNSO in unfamiliar territory, the heartening amount of work accomplished in such a short period has laid the groundwork for the EPDP's success. Please join me in celebrating the GNSO Council's achievement, and the demonstration of Councilors' ability to work together in the true spirit of the multistakeholder model. We welcome the ICANN community to follow the important work of the EPDP. To learn how to participate as a non-member, you may read our announcement <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2018-07-19-en> today on icann.org. Background Information On 17 May 2018, the ICANN Board adopted the proposed Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data <https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/gtld-registration-data-specs-en>. This was an interim measure to bring existing WHOIS obligations in line with requirements of the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation. This has, in turn, triggered the obligation of the GNSO Council to undertake a policy development process to confirm, or not, the Temporary Specification as a Consensus Policy. The EPDP must be completed within 12 months of the implementation effective date (25 May 2018) of the Temporary Specification. Sent from my iPhone David A.
