Dear All, We are looking for volunteers to help organize the NARALO showcase event at the ICANN San Francisco meeting in March. The NARALO showcase will be an opportunity to present the North American At-Large structures to the wider ICANN community, highlight the role of NARALO in the Internet eco-system and reach out to local Internet users. Similar events were organized in the past year by AFRALO (Nairobi), EURALO (Brussels) and LACRALO (Cartagena): LACRALO: http://www.atlarge.icann.org/lacralo/cartagena-outreach.htm EURALO: http://www.atlarge.icann.org/euralo/brussels-outreach.htm AFRALO: http://www.atlarge.icann.org/afralo/nairobi-outreach.htm As per decision during its last meeting, NARALO will be convening an organizing committee for the showcase event. The committee will be responsible for, among other things, · developing the agenda and identifying a main theme · Identifying and contacting the speakers (including a possible keynote speaker) · collecting material from the NARALO ALSes (including text for ALS Fact Sheets, posters, brochures etc.) · identifying and contacting possible sponsors If you are interested in participating in the organizing committee, please reply to this email by Tuesday 11 January. We will send out a Doodle to schedule the first conference call shortly thereafter. It is expected that there will be a total of between 5 and 7 calls.

Call for comment ASAP on ICANN strat plan
by Beau Brendler Jan. 7, 2011

Jan. 7, 2011

Greetings North American region! We've had a couple of urgent calls from ALAC leadership for regional comment on the ICANN Draft 2011-2014 Strategic Plan. It's a big document. You can find it here: http://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/#draft-strat-2011 The final public deadline is Jan. 10, the same day as our phone call referenced below. The At-Large leadership asked for regional comments by Jan. 9, which is Sunday. If you have something to say about this important document, now is the time to say it. If you can reply to NA-DISCUSS with whatever comments you have, I will put them together and send them on Saturday night (which will be Sunday in Asia). Don't worry about duplication, I will take care of coordinating the comments.

ICANN XL in San Francisco
by Evan Leibovitch Jan. 5, 2011

Jan. 5, 2011

Just wondering... are there any participants in NARALO (other than the ALAC reps and RALO laedership) planning to go to the ICANN meeting #40 in San Francisco <http://svsf40.icann.org/>? The meeting is at the Weston St. Francis, March 13 to 18 (There is an At-Large meeting March 12 in advance of the main meeting). While the main hotel is pretty expensive, there are other hotels in the area that are more reasonably priced. About a decade or so when I used to go to trade shows in Moscone Center I stayed at the Chancellor Hotel<http://www.chancellorhotel.com/>just a few blocks away from the St. Francis. And airfare can be had fairly inexpensively, though there are no additional travel subsidies available. I'm looking forward to seeing as many NARALO folks as possible at this, the first ICANN meeting in the region in two years. -- - Evan

Compliance Staff response to questions posed during ALAC Policy Discussion Part 1 Meeting
by Heidi Ullrich Dec. 24, 2010

Dec. 24, 2010

Dear All, As requested during the Compliance staff briefing that took place in the ALAC Policy Discussion Part I meeting held 7 December 2010, please find below the written answers to questions that were posed in the Adobe Connect room. ** Q: How many new compliance officers are planned to be added during the next calendar year? A: 3 but we have plans to adequately staff the department to support the new gLTD program. Q: The latest draft terms and conditions governing registrar accreditation applications still seem to allow for the accreditation of shell corporations. Why is ICANN continuing to allow this practice? A: It is our understanding that there is no policy that prohibits this practice. If the community wishes to adopt such a policy, staff will follow it. Q: Section 3.16 of the RAA requires registrars to provide on their web sites accurate contact details, including a valid email and mailing address. Is this being audited? A: It is ICANN's current practice that prior to renewal, ICANN informs registrars of this new requirement and checks registrars' websites for compliance as part of the renewal process. In addition, ICANN is planning to incorporate website checks into its 2011 registrar audit schedule. Q: Onlinenic was ordered to pay $33 million for cybersquatting. Why is this cybersquatter still an accredited registrar? A: ICANN was aware of the judgment, but the matter was subsequently settled between the parties. ICANN staff engaged in numerous correspondence and discussions with OnlineNIC's attorneys and staff when considering its renewal application. Based on the facts and materials available to ICANN at the time, we did not believe that there were grounds for denying its renewal application pursuant to Section 5.4 of the RAA: 5.4 Term of Agreement; Renewal; Right to Substitute Updated Agreement. This Agreement shall be effective on the Effective Date and shall have an initial term running until the Expiration Date, unless sooner terminated. Thereafter, if Registrar seeks to continue its accreditation, it may apply for renewed accreditation, and shall be entitled to renewal provided it meets the ICANN-adopted specification or policy on accreditation criteria then in effect, is in compliance with its obligations under this Agreement, as it may be amended, and agrees to be bound by terms and conditions of the then-current Registrar accreditation agreement (which may differ from those of this Agreement) that ICANN adopts in accordance with Subsection 2.3 and Subsection 4.3. ICANN continues to closely monitor OnlineNIC's registration practices as well as its compliance with all RAA requirements. The fact that OnlineNIC is now under the 2009 RAA means more enforcement tools would be available to ICANN if OnlineNIC is found to be non-compliant with its RAA obligations. We believe this is a good thing. - Compliance Staff, 22 December 2010 ** These questions and answers have also been added to the on-line agenda page for this meeting so that they are part of the public record (see: http://cartagena39.icann.org/node/15433) Kind regards, Heidi Heidi Ullrich Director for At-Large Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Telephone: + 1 (310) 578 - 8647 Fax: +1 (310) 823 - 8649 Cell/Mobile: +1 (310) 437 - 3956

indeed, vertical integration may be off the table at this point. but we have heard several examples already of warehousing -- something Danny and I tried to bring to the attention of ICANN at least two years ago. there may be a separate PDP process for warehousing -----Original Message----- >From: Eric Brunner-Williams <ebw(a)abenaki.wabanaki.net> >Sent: Dec 9, 2010 7:02 AM >To: na-discuss(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org >Subject: Re: [NA-Discuss] Funded Workshop Proposal > >Danny, > >It is early in the morning, pre-coffee, but I know you appreciate >prompt feedback, so I'm just looking at the topics, item 2, bullet >items of the final paragraph. > >The list offered of topics the proposed workshop will consider is >somewhat backwards looking, that is, some of the topics of >consideration have been the subjects of past policy making efforts: > > o gaming by registrars > o vertical integration > o domain tasting > o speculation and warehousing > o front-running > >I'd like to cover new ground before the actual transition to >delegation period is experienced for the cohort of new applications >that will affect North American users of the DNS and the North >American public interest. > >Eric >------ >NA-Discuss mailing list >NA-Discuss(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org >https://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/na-discuss > >Visit the NARALO online at http://www.naralo.org >------
