Call for Membership in At-Large new gTLD Review Group
by ICANN At-Large Staff May 1, 2012

May 1, 2012

Dear All, The following call for membership of the At-Large new gTLD Review Group is sent on behalf of Olivier Crépin-Leblond, Chair of the ALAC. ** Dear All, Background The At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) has approved the procedure by which At-Large and ALAC can submit public comments on and file objections to new gTLD applications as proposed by the At- Large new gTLD Working Group (ANgWG - https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/New+GTLDs) This procedure forms the basis of the work of the At-Large new gTLD Review Group (gTLD RG - https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+New+gTLD+Review+Group+W orkspace#). The gTLD RG needs to be in place and ready to work by the date when applications are revealed and the comment period is set. Therefore, we are asking the RALOs to make their recommendations to the ALAC by 8 May 2012, so the ALAC can vote on these recommendations. The RG should be in place and up to speed by 14 May 2012 (being the approximate commencement date of the 60 day Application Comment Period and the 7 month Objection Period of the First Round). The gTLD RG is tasked with: * receiving the comments from At-Large either directly via email or indirectly via RALO conference calls; * creating/updating the new gTLD wiki comment pages; * giving status updates of which new gTLD received comments each week; * informing RALOs of deadlines for comments during the ACP, and for objection statements during the objection period; * reviewing the comments/objections received and giving ALAC its recommendations on them; * composing the final draft of the comments/objections agreed on in close cooperation with their original authors. gTLD RG term The gTLD RG term period finishes with the end of the objection period of the whole first round. gTLD RG Composition The ANgWG had determined that, at least initially, the gTLD RG be composed of: - 2 members to be recommended by each of the RALOs - 1 member volunteer from each region All members being determined by the ALAC. Should the work load require adding people to the gTLD RG at a later time, that decision can be made by the gTLD RG itself in consultation with the ANgWG. gTLD RG Requirements Members of the gTLD RG are required to: A. understand the approved ALAC procedure (https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+Proposal+for+the+ALAC+ to+submit+public+comments+on+and+file+possible+objections+to+new+gTLD+Applic ations+2012+Workspace) by which At-Large and the ALAC can submit public comments on and file objections to new gTLD applications B. be able to use the At-Large wiki to create/edit/update wiki pages C. be able to work in English D. have an understanding of ICANN's Applicant Guidebook (AGB; http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/agb/guidebook-full-11jan12-en.pdf) which describes the application process for new gTLDs from start to finish E. be able to give a flexible commitment of time. It is estimated that on the average, 2-3 hours per week would be needed and there would be bi-weekly conference calls over the 7 month objection period. However, in such processes, it is typical that the majority of both comments and objection requests will occur towards the end of the 60 day comment period and 7 month objection period, so the workload will likely be heavier at those times. Presuming no changes to the Applicant Guidebook regarding comments and objections, it is anticipated that the duration of the gTLD RG tasks will be up to 1 year for this first round. F. make a Statement of Interest (SOI) in which they: a. declare that they have no Conflicts of Interest (COI); or b. disclose any possible or existing COI. A COI is defined as having an immediate past (previous 6 months), current or predetermined interest (being financial or other) in a New gTLD Applicant or any other party that is involved in any manner whatsoever with an applicant or the proposed registry. In determining COI, reference should be made to Section 2.4.3.1 at page 84 of the AGB which details some COI Guidelines. All members and RALOs will be informed of any changes in the gTLD RG's COI policy. Please note, the specific RALO the member belongs to will be asked to confirm this SOI to the best of its ALS representatives' knowledge, information and belief. Both the SOI and RALO confirmation will be reviewed by the ALAC to vet the declarations, with final approval to join the gTLD RG being determined by ALAC vote. In some instances it may be necessary for the ALAC to interview the member. SOIs of approved members of the gTLD RG will be posted on the Working Group's wiki page. It is recognized that during the course of the new gTLD Objection period, a COI possibly may occur and in such cases the member is required to promptly disclose such COIs to the gTLD RG. In any event, the SOI will be periodically reviewed by the gTLD RG, either monthly or prior to each gTLD RG call (whichever is more frequent). Kind regards, Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond, PhD http://www.gih.com/ocl.html ** Regards, Heidi Ullrich, Silvia Vivanco, Matt Ashtiani, Gisella Gruber, and Nathalie Peregrine ICANN Policy Staff in support of ALAC E-mail: staff(a)atlarge.icann.org

Backed by a big bank account — CIRA earns millions of dollars each year for maintaining the domain name registry — it has launched an annual Internet governance forum attended by hundreds of Canadians, partnered with various groups to help small businesses establish an online presence, and sponsored many Canadian Internet-related events. Yet just as CIRA begins to fulfill its potential as an “important public resource” (as described in its mandate letter from the Government of Canada), it has proposed a new governance structure that seeks to sideline the public by limiting the ability to serve on the CIRA board. With more than a million registrants, CIRA is one of Canada’s largest Internet organizations and its message to members is clear: we don’t trust you. One of CIRA’s requirements is to ensure “an appropriate balance of representation, accountability and diversity on the board of directors for all categories of stakeholders.” This has proven easier said than done. In the early years of the organization, there were several board positions reserved for specific stakeholders, including one position for the public, alongside the elected positions (I served six years on the board during this period). In its first governance overhaul, the reserved positions were dropped in favour of a dual election slate. A nominating committee was formed to identify potential board candidates, while CIRA’s members could seek nomination by obtaining the support of at least 20 other members. The resulting ballot included positions for both nominating committee candidates and member-nominated candidates. CIRA maintains that the process is too long and complex as it takes months to form the nominating committee, identify board candidates, and conduct the election. Moreover, participation has been relatively low, leading to concerns that candidates can get themselves elected to the board with the support of only a few hundred voters. While there is unquestionably room for improvement, CIRA’s plans, which are open for comment until May 2, makes matters considerably worse. The current proposal seeks to simplify the election process by eliminating member-nominated board members altogether. Canadians can be considered for a nominating committee position but the prospect of rallying support from the membership will be removed. The new process is certainly simpler — one ballot with a single list of candidates — but it comes at a high cost by diminishing public participation. Rather than seeking ways to encourage more Canadians to become engaged with managing the dot-ca domain, it hopes that increased backroom engineering of the board will lead to better governance. There are many ways CIRA could reform its governance process to address the complexity concerns without eliminating member-nominated board members. For example, nominating committee participants could be granted three-year terms (matching board member terms), thereby eliminating the two month process of filling that committee in most years. CIRA could also move to a single ballot by combining nominating committee candidates and member-backed candidates. That approach would address the confusion associated with the dual ballot and allow CIRA members to vote for the best candidates, regardless of the source of their nomination. To address concerns associated with board competence, it could require candidates to participate in several governance events prior to being eligible for election, thereby helping to ensure that newly elected board members hit the ground running. As CIRA grows and becomes increasingly important within the Canadian Internet, it should address concerns with board capture and election apathy. The starting point should be to increase the role of its members, however, not signal that they cannot be trusted. *Michael Geist holds the Canada Research Chair in Internet and E-commerce Law at the University of Ottawa, Faculty of Law.

Consensus on NARALO showcase in Toronto
by Beau Brendler April 25, 2012

April 25, 2012

Greetings. Pursuant to the last NA phone meeting, I said I would try to measure some consensus in the region as to whether we should plan and hold a showcase in Toronto, as we did (very successfully) in San Francisco. What I heard on the phone was something of a consensus that we should not have one, reasons cited including: * Showcase burnout * Few new ALSs to showcase joining NA since San Francisco * Do we (regional orgs) need to have a showcase every time there is a local ICANN meeting? * Instead of a showcase should we do something that's more engaged with the public interest * Should we concentrate instead on capacity building sessions or other So I am going to start from the position that there's a consensus we should not hold a showcase in Toronto. Please let us know over the next week or so if you would like NA to hold a showcase and we can consider the response.
