For your information Rudi Vansnick Chair Non-for-Profit Operational Concerns Constituency (NPOC) www.npoc.org <http://www.npoc.org/> > Begin doorgestuurd bericht: > > Van: David Olive <david.olive(a)icann.org> > Onderwerp: ICANN53 - Update on the Current Visa Situation > Datum: 9 juni 2015 13:57:12 CEST > > Dear Community Leaders: > > As we all prepare for ICANN53, we wanted to provide you with an update on the current visa situation. > > Obtaining visas for ICANN meeting participants remains a challenge. There are government requirements imposed on us all and these are ever changing. Many are involved in efforts to resolve the issues - the meetings team in suggesting locations, the local host in accepting to host an ICANN meeting, the GAC representative from the country where the meeting is taking place, and Constituency Travel in preparing information. And each time we learn more and prepare as best we can in advance of the ICANN meeting. > > For Buenos Aires, we have been experiencing a greater than usual number of delays. ICANN staff in the region as well as community travel staff continue to work daily with those Community members who have not yet received their visas. We have reconfirmed recently that communications have been sent to the embassies/consulates regarding their questions. Many individuals have interviews scheduled this week so we hope that we will see most visas issued that have been requested to attend ICANN53. Of the 244 ICANN-funded Community travelers, nine will not be able to obtain a visa, mainly due to embassies in certain countries imposing very stringent visa application processes. Many other Community members -- about 26 -- have confirmed that they are having their interviews with the embassies/consulates this week, so we are waiting for them to confirm soon whether they will be able to attend ICANN53. > > While we would like to make sure that all Community members wishing to attend the ICANN meeting in person are able to do so, the visa challenges will remain. We are committed to continue our best efforts in cooperation with our local hosts and government representatives to ensure timely visa application processes with as few delays as possible. > > Finally, we also note that ICANN continues to make sure that remote participation is available for those who are unable for whatever reason to make an ICANN meeting (See ICANN 53 http://meetings.icann.org/remote-participation <http://meetings.icann.org/remote-participation>). > > Best regards, > > David > > David A.

Olevie KOUAMI, Election statement
by Olévié Kouami June 5, 2015

June 5, 2015

*Dearest NPOCers, * *We all know that our constituency, the NPOC, is the youngest one among all the current constituencies within the ICANN. The NPOC was formally established in June 2011 and is in the process of knowing its fourth EC.* *The organization that I represent in the NPOC is named in french “Institut des Technologies de l’Information et de la Communication pour le Développement” or INTIC4DEV. In english it is “Institute of ICT for development”, a not-for-profit association that I personally initiated in January 2004 at the end of my contract as national UNV (United Nations Volunteer) ICT specialist, promoting the Cisco academies in Least Developed Countries as mine (Togo). The ICT ecosystem of my country, at that time, was missing of civil society activists specialized in ICT field. So I took the initiative to create a non-for-profit organization specialized in ICT with the help of some colleagues and frineds from the University of Lomé and the IT professional community of Togo and development specialists, coming from Belgium (Europe) and living in Togo at that time.* *INTIC4DEV is a R&D Center of Excellence, promoting ICT for Development in Education (elementary to university through the high school) in general and particularly the promotion of free and open source software among the IT professionals. My involvement in the activities of the NPOC was encouraged by the late Alain Berranger (May his soul RIP) in late 2011 and during year 2012. It leads to the acceptance of my application to join the NCSG and the NPOC in December 2012, and to my active participation in the NPOC and NCSG meetings whatever the place of meetings. Beacause, I am quite convince that if there is, on this earth, a part of the population that needs to benefit from the advantages of DNS and IP addresses on a non-for-profit basis, it is my continent, Africa. That is the purpose of my sincere commitment to the NPOC, the NCSG and ICANN.* *My first concern as the Chair of the Communications Committee will adhere strictly to the duties and responsibilities related to my position which are being specified in Articles 3.3.6 and later, 4.3 and later and 6.0 and later of our charter. It is necessary that these actions become effective. * *In addition, the NPOC has an project of organizing in partnership with the GKP Foundation and IICD, a capacity development program of registrars in emerging and developing economies, I will wish to see this event be realized during my second term on the EC of NPOC and I will largely contribute on it.* *Since many months now, I have regular exchanges, in private for instance, with my colleague and dear friend Sam Lanfranco on projects to achieve together in Africa for Africans in the days ahead. One of them relates to "how to increase the level of awareness and involvement in politics around the net neutrality of African stakeholders." I see the NPOC get involved with us in the realization of such an activity in a previous pre-event periodic of ICANN meeting (for example). * *So here are my plans for the year ahead. * Please, vote for me. -- Olévié Ayaovi Agbenyo KOUAMI Responsable du Projet CERGI Education Directeur-Adjoint de KT Technologies Informatiques sarl SG de ESTETIC - Association Togolaise des professionnels des TIC ( http://www.estetic.tg) ICANN-NPOC Communications Committee Chair (http://www.icann.org/ et http://www.npoc.org/) Membre du FOSSFA (www.fossfa.net) et Membre de de Internet Society ( www.isoc.org) BP : 851 - Tél.: (228) 90 98 86 50 / (228) 98 43 27 72 Skype : olevie1 FB : @olivier.kouami.3 Twitter : #oleviek Lomé – Togo

As the Independent Examiner, Westlake has drafted their report after conducting extensive work, including but not limited to online surveys (178 responses), 40 one-on-one interviews (considerably more than originally anticipated in the scope of work), review and analysis of documents and direct observations of GNSO proceedings at three ICANN meetings. In addition, Westlake has been engaged in consultations with representatives from the GNSO and other community members. Westlake will issue their Final Report at the end of August 2015 after considering community feedback via Public Comment process, in-person meetings at ICANN53 and ongoing interaction with the GNSO Review Working Party. The final report, along with public comments, will be considered by the Board. After the Board takes action and accepts the report, the implementation phase will begin. The Report Summary (Section 1, pages 4-20 <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/gnso-review-draft-29may15-en.pd…>) offers a brief overview of Westlake’s work and outlines 36 proposed recommendations, classified into four topical themes: Participation and Representation; Continuous Development; Transparency; and Alignment with ICANN’s Future. Please refer to the specific recommendation and relevant section of the Draft Report for additional details and context about each recommendation. Word <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/gnso-review-draft-input-templat…> [DOCX, 65 KB] and PDF <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/gnso-review-draft-input-templat…> [PDF, 283 KB] templates have been developed to facilitate input to this Public Comment. Additionally, several consultations and briefings will be held during ICANN53 in Buenos Aires. Section I: Description, Explanation, and Purpose ICANN's Bylaws <https://www.icann.org/en/about/governance/bylaws> require that its structures, including the GNSO, be reviewed on a five-year cycle. According to the Bylaws, the goal of the review is "to determine (i) whether that organization has a continuing purpose in the ICANN structure, and (ii) if so, whether any change in structure or operations is desirable to improve its effectiveness." This review is part of ICANN's commitment to continuous improvement, accountability and transparency. It uses mechanisms and measures to maintain public confidence in the viability, reliability and accountability of ICANN. As the Independent Examiner, Westlake has drafted their report after conducting extensive work, including but not limited to: online surveys (178 responses), 40 one-on-one interviews (considerably more than originally anticipated in the scope of work), review and analysis of documents and direct observations of GNSO proceedings at three ICANN meetings. Section II: Background ICANN engaged Westlake Governance Limited in June 2014 to conduct an independent review of the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO <http://gnso.icann.org/en/>), as mandated by ICANN's Bylaws <http://www.icann.org/en/about/governance/bylaws>. As part of ICANN's ongoing commitment to its evolution and improvement, Article IV – Section 4 of ICANN's Bylaws <http://www.icann.org/en/about/governance/bylaws#IV> contains provisions for "periodic review of the performance and operation of each Supporting Organization, each Supporting Organization Council, each Advisory Committee (other than the Governmental Advisory Committee), and the Nominating Committee." The periodic reviews present ICANN structures with opportunities for continuous improvement through consistent application of compliance review principles to objectively measure performance relative to specific and quantifiable criteria developed by ICANN based on the unique nature of its structures. The resulting implementation of improvements and the systematic means of measuring performance and validating effectiveness of implementation are of utmost importance to the ongoing legitimacy of ICANN. Generic Names Supporting Organization The GNSO is the policy-making body responsible for generic Top-Level Domains, such as .COM, .NET, and .ORG. Its members include representatives from generic Top Level Domains (gTLD) registries, gTLD registrars, intellectual property interest, Internet service providers, businesses and non-commercial interests. The GNSO strives to keep gTLDs operating in a fair, orderly fashion across one global Internet, while promoting innovation and competition. Role of the Structural Improvements Committee of the ICANN Board The Structural Improvements Committee <https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/structural-improvements-committee-201…> (SIC) of the ICANN Board is responsible for review and oversight of policies relating to ICANN's ongoing organizational review process, as mandated by ICANN's Bylaws. In relation to this review, the SIC defined the scope of work, confirmed the appointment of Westlake Governance as Independent Examiner, has provided ongoing oversight, will accept the final report and the implementation plan, and will prepare recommendations for Board action. Scope of the Review Based on direction from the Board, the current review comprises of an examination of the GNSO's organizational effectiveness in accordance with the ICANN-provided objective and quantifiable criteria. Within the organizational effectiveness context, the review has focused on addressing areas such as purpose of the organization; its processes and means of conducting its work; and its outcomes. The operations of the GNSO Working Groups, the GNSO Council and the GNSO Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies have been evaluated. Structural topics are likely to come up as part of this work. The current review includes an assessment of the effectiveness of structural changes that resulted from the last review, as it relates to the organizational effectiveness of the GNSO. The 360 Assessment, interviews and consultations have provided the community with an opportunity to express their position on the GNSO structure. Whether structural changes are needed and when such changes should be considered would be topics for discussion after the GNSO review is finalized, possibly during the implementation planning, depending on the nature of findings and recommendations. For further information, see Request for Proposal <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-6b-2014-04-23-en> and SIC Response <https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/48337499/SIC%20Response%20…> to Request for Clarification from GNSO Review Working Party. GNSO Review Working Party The SIC requested that a GNSO Review Working Party be assembled to act as a liaison between the GNSO, the independent examiner <https://community.icann.org/display/GR2/Independent+Examiner+Information> and the SIC, as one of several Organizational Review process improvements. The GNSO Review Working Party has had ongoing opportunities for substantive input into the GNSO Review process and methodology, as well as providing several rounds of comments to the independent examiner during the development of the Draft Report. Westlake has catalogued and responded to all comments. The Working Party provided input on review criteria and the 360 Assessment <https://community.icann.org/display/GR2/360+Assessment>, coordinated interviews and objectively supplied clarification and responses to the draft findings and recommendations. Once the final report is issued and the Board takes action on it, the GNSO Review Working Party is expected to coordinate with the GNSO community to prepare an Implementation Plan and champion implementation of improvement activities. The membership <https://community.icann.org/x/YpLhAg>of the GNSO Review Working Party includes members representing the diversity of the GNSO community. The activities <https://community.icann.org/x/X5LhAg> of the GNSO Review Working Party are conducted in an open and fully transparent manner. Section III: Relevant Resources Word <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/gnso-review-draft-input-templat…> [DOCX, 65 KB] and PDF <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/gnso-review-draft-input-templat…> [PDF, 283 KB] templates have been developed to facilitate input to this Public Comment.

Letter of objection to the Paraguayan Parliament regarding proposed Paraguayan Internet surveillance laws
by Sam Lanfranco June 3, 2015

June 3, 2015

NPOC Members, On behalf of NPOC the NPOC executive committee has endorsed a letter of objection to the Paraguayan Parliament regarding proposed Paraguayan Internet surveillance laws. While recognizing the issues behind the laws, we do not think this is the proper approach. The ExCom faced a three-day deadline so there was not the opportunity for a wider discussion of the decision, but follow up comments are welcomed. Here is a link to the letter [en Espanol and in English] https://etherpad.mozilla.org/p6W7PQgphV [Extracts from the letter] /If passed into law, the bill will force Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to stored users' data for a period of twelve months. The data collected would include the source and destination of all communications, the time and date of all connection and disconnection logs, as well as details about the users' location and devices. This collection will track the online activities of millions of innocent users, and will be accessible by Paraguayan law enforcement as part of the investigation of any criminal offense./ /This bill does exclude the mass collection of the content of electronic communications. However, indiscriminate collection of non-content("traffic") data and the cross-referencing of this information can reveal far more than the bill's proponents have suggested in remarks tomedia; more, even, in some cases, than the content of a communication could show. Traffic data provides sufficient context to determine some of the most intimate details of the lives of Paraguayans, including where they live, work and the identity of other locations they regularly visit,their relationships to others. It can provide complete lists of friends and other contacts, describe their online habits, and reveal their personal preferences in every part of their private and political lives./ Sam Lanfranco, Chair, NPOC Policy Committee

Klaus Stoll, Election Statement Vice-Chair NPOC
by Klaus Stoll June 2, 2015

June 2, 2015

Dear NPOC members Please find below my elections statement for the NPOC Vice-Chair position for your kind consideration. I am urging all members to participate in the election even if they do not plan to vote for me. Every vote cast is important in the wider context of Internet Governance. Yours Klaus *Klaus Stoll, Election Statement Vice-Chair NPOC* I am honored to accept the nomination as Vice Chair for NPOC in the constituency elections and ask for your vote. In the following I would like to quickly give you some of the reasons why I think that I am a suitable candidate for this position. Being engaged with ICANN for over 10 years now, I have demonstrated my support of ICANN, through, frequent attendance at ICANN meetings, as NPOC Executive and GNSO Councilor, and the contributions I have made to the ongoing discussions. I have developed a respect and belief in, and passion for ICANN, ever since my participation in my first public ICANN meeting. To witness the multi-stakeholder process at work, with all its shortcomings was, and still is, a revelation for me. The Internet with the DNS at its root is a common good that we cannot take for granted. We must sustain, improve and protect it on a daily basis. NPOC's role is doing just this through representing the operational concerns of the not for profit Internet users. NPOC is fulfilling its responsibility through outreach, awareness and capacity building to the many not for profit Internet users and NPOC is doing this successfully through its ongoing partnership in the Pathfinder initiative. The ongoing outreach efforts will result in increased NPOC membership numbers. In the case that I would be elected,I would see it as one of my main tasks to establish an NPOC constituency *in-reach***engagement and capacity building program for existing and new NPOC members. The first goal here has to be to ensure that the NPOC membership is able and sees it as relevant for themselves to engaged with the constituency. Now that NPOC has been established and grown out of infancy, we have to add as a goal to enable those who have the ability and the will to become new leaders within NPOC in particular and in the whole Internet ecosystem in general. This means a conscious effort of the NPOC Executive Committee to train and enable new leaders in particular leaders that are coming from developing regions and those sectors that are usually under represented. In addition,I am very much concerned about the observable and ever increasing disconnect between ICANN staff and the stakeholders and even more the disconnect between the different stakeholder groups and even inside them. The solution to this problem, in my opinion, is more than about fashioning clear and stricter rules; it is about creating a new atmosphere of trust and collaboration. I see it as my task to help rebuilding trust. In the hope that I deserve your trust. Yours, Klaus Stoll .

Election statement chair NPOC
by Rudi Vansnick June 1, 2015

June 1, 2015

Dear NPOC member, 2014 was the year ICANN was confronted for the first time with itself. The NTIA decision turned ICANN upside down and most of the constituencies got overloaded with extra meetings and discussions. For NPOC the past 12 months have also been very intensive. We organized several events under the topic Pathfinder, a program creating awareness for NGO’s to participate in the Internet governance. During my first year as chair of NPOC I’ve essentially focused on how to put NPOC in a different perspective. We all know NGO’s don’t get the appropriate attention in the DNS and Internet governance space. As NPOC get’s maturity, still only a few years young, it gets more recognition and has been accepted inside the GNSO world. While policy development in GNSO is priority number one, I would like to highlight the fact we need some specific objectives allowing NGO’s to raise their critical issues inside the DNS. My second term objectives will get NPOC deeper inside the GTLD world, querying for more openness, more participation power. Almost one year long, focus was, and still is, on the IANA transition. What’s in it for the NGO’s is very unclear. Most of the NGO’s using .org domain extension have no clue on what the IANA transition would mean to them. The knowledge about the DNS is quite limited and as such a goal to achieve for us is to get NGO’s understanding the value of a domain name. NPOC will also engage with the .ngo/.ong registry to elaborate specific actions enabling more NGO’s getting their domain name. Along the road of policy development I think it would be good if we could elaborate an action plan enabling NGO’s to use the domain name space to their benefit. Many NGO’s engaged in the social media, not really understanding they are providing interesting content to the profit world, while they could obtain even more through the use of their own domain name and website. With the team, as is actual proposed in the election slate, I’m confident we will bring NPOC to another level of engagement and will be able to get to the next milestone : NGO’s been recognised as a real multistakeholder in ICANN with voting power. I hope I've illustrated my full commitment and really hope we may be recognized as an unavoidable partner in the policy discussions to the benefit of NGO’s, our members.

Ad-Blocker Software and Not-for-Profit/Civil Society Reliance on Free Social Media
by Sam Lanfranco May 30, 2015

May 30, 2015

*Ad-Blocker Software and Not-for-Profit/Civil Society Reliance on Free Social Media***** There has been an exponential growth in the consumer (and enterprise) use of ad blockers to filter out advertisements that accompany online mobile and desktop/tablet web pages and social media sites. As well, the technology of ad blockers continues to improve. See: http://www.mondaynote.com/2015/05/25/ad-blocks-doomsday-scenarios/ One consequence of this for the not-for-profit (NFP) and civil society (CS) constituencies of the Internet is that free social media services will be under growing pressure to adjust their terms of service and access to specific services, either to protect advertising revenue or to (more likely) face lower advertising revenue. This will likely make it more difficult for NFP/CS organizations to depend on free social media services as their main avenue for communications with members, supporters, and clients. This suggests that NFP/CS organizations should perform in house stress tests to assess whether or not they have the capacity and resources to move from currently free social media services to sustaining their own web site and domain name for communications with members, supporters and clients.
