Re: [Npoc-discuss] [At-Large] ATLASIII Participation
by Carlos Raul Gutierrez July 14, 2019

July 14, 2019

Dear Christian, While I sat on Atlas II eating my nails because of the useless discussions in my RALO (and I sat next to Alejandro in the somber cellar of a very strange London building in the middle of the summer instead of taking a vacation as the present chair of LACRALO seems to suggest) and maybe because Costa Rica won against Italy in the World Cup in the second round (England had already left the party) I remember London's Summer of 2014 fondly and I don't share many of your somber perspectives for this next ATLAS meeting: As far as ICANN is concerned, it has made more room for ALAC than ever before. ALAC is a full member of the empowered community with all responsibilities that go with it. ALAC has been invited to Co-Chair a PDP in the issue of geographic names, which for some of represent an opportunity to defend cultural, linguistic and other important issues for internet users (the fact that Governments and ccTLDs don'r want to give up their prerogatives is another issue). ALAC got direct representation in the ePDP on so far the most important issue for all internet users: personal data privacy. ALAC seems to be reacting in the right direction by consolidating its policy work in one single group, that is testing the possibility of a clear and prioritized policy agenda. It is true that ALAC seems less attractive for the younger generation of fellows interested in real policy and users, as I believe we have made a better use of their volunteering, brains and ideas in smaller groups directly focused on policy work (disclaimer: I'm now the NPOC Policy Chair and see great interest support from talented young fellows :). As far as the final (non-registrant) user is concerned, it has a nice living at the second level of a few platforms, using randomly assigned IMEI serials for their devices, randomly assigned numbers and SIM cards from the ISP providers and free email accounts from their favorite platforms. And those platforms are selling their personal and usage data, and even the US Government is penalizing them for that (FB Analytica case) ........Now if you really worry about them, I invite you on Saturday in Montreal to hear from one of our young stars in NPOC on his project to create conscience for the final user in the new GDPR framework. He presented this ideas to ALAC in Japan already and the initial echo was really good. it is all about new ideas and un-prejudiced work Now let's talk about ALACs (lack of or new) focus on (which) of the final users! If ALAC can't position the final users issue with the DNS in the right context, addressing many of the structural and operational issues why there is such a large bridge between registrants and passive users nobody will. The DNS is flexible enough to make room for IoT. The DNS is flexible enough to offer its resources for private networks. And it both cases it might be useful even if it does not resolve the addresses in ICANNs servers. So, it is up to US, the ALAC community to focus and see if the DNS can also serve the needs of the final user in terms of privacy and security with the APPROPRIATE intermediaries. Maybe we have not looked for them. Maybe they don't exist yet. But in the same manner Registries and Registrants have blurred their distinction to face the new market conditions, there is ample space for new combinations in the system. Many more people would be interested in participating in ALAC/ATLAS, if we could spend less time in the definition of final users and build those bridges and create this new business models with the young and enthusiastic generation. It is not that difficult for me to look forward positively to ATLAS III to grab for new opportunities (even if I missed the webinars, but will catch up before I get there, as I promised to ALAc's Chair already). I wish you all a nice Sunday! --- Carlos Raúl Gutiérrez carlosraul(a)gutierrez.se +506 8837 7176 Aparatado 1571-1000 COSTA RICA El 2019-07-14 07:15, Christian de Larrinaga escribió: > Dear Roberto > > That is a lovely reply.

Missed the Ethos Ceremony? Learn About This Year's Recipient and Watch the Ceremony in This Morning's #ICANN65
by Caleb Olumuyiwa Ogundele June 25, 2019

June 25, 2019

Greetings, In case you are not on site in Marrakech. Find below a quick recap from yesterday and other general news from ICANN Comms team. You can also follow NPOC's news and activities via our twitter handle *@NPOC_ICANN* with the hashtag *#ICANN65*, *#NPOC* and you can retweet great pictures and activities you are participating in. <engagement(a)icann.org> <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001FtGYjf0cncnHCzGFp2syLmqkXKi-_JDyqggg5lw-Px4A…> <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001FtGYjf0cncnHCzGFp2syLmqkXKi-_JDyqggg5lw-Px4A…> CONGRATULATIONS TO 2019 ETHOS AWARD RECIPIENT Kurt Pritz Honored for Contribution to Multistakeholder Governance The 2019 Multistakeholder Ethos Award was awarded to Kurt Pritz in recognition of his many years of service to the ICANN community. At a ceremony Monday night at ICANN65, community members, Javier Rúa-Jovet (At-Large), Olga Cavalli (GAC), and Stephen Deerhake (ccNSO) presented the award on behalf of the selection panel made up of representatives from ICANN's community structures. They congratulated Pritz for being able to achieve consensus among groups with disparate views and priorities. The selection panel highlighted the extraordinary amount of time Pritz dedicated to one of the most significant issues in the ICANN community: WHOIS. Pritz recently chaired the Expedited Policy Development Process (EPDP) on Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data. The Multistakeholder Ethos Award honors members of the ICANN community who have made outstanding contributions to ICANN's multistakeholder model of Internet governance, demonstrating the spirit of collaboration, and strongly promoting consensus.

We're getting that chance again here in Morocco - a country with a rich history, diverse culture, and a growing Internet community. Read more about this surprising and fascinating country here <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001FtGYjf0cncnHCzGFp2syLmqkXKi-_JDyqggg5lw-Px4A…> . *New ICANN Partnership in India* Last week, ICANN org and India's National Association of Software and Services Companies (NASSCOM) announced they have established a new partnership center in India. The Internet Identifier Innovation Center is ICANN's first partnership center to focus on technical research. The joint effort on research will foster innovation and reinforce ICANN's commitment to preserving and enhancing a stable, secure, and unified global Internet. David Conrad, ICANN's Chief Technology Officer, said one early benefit of the collaboration is new work on the Domain Name System (DNS) and Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) in the context of the Internet of Things (IoT). He highlighted the partnership center's first research project on testing the use of the DNS to facilitate updating IoT device firmware. The forthcoming results may contribute to work being done in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) aimed at establishing global standards for IoT devices in IPv6 environments. The project team is comprised of ICANN technical experts, NASSCOM's Centre of Excellence for Internet of Things team, researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Hyderabad, and participants from India's Education and Research Network (ERNET). Today, most IoT devices are shipped with factory-installed firmware that is seldom, if ever, updated. Given the increasing exploitation of vulnerabilities in out-of-date IoT firmware, solutions that allow for automatic updating of IoT devices' firmware, even if the company that sold the devices no longer exists, would be beneficial to the stability and security of the Internet. *Nearly half of all IPv6 users in the world are in India <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001FtGYjf0cncnHCzGFp2syLmqkXKi-_JDyqggg5lw-Px4A…>* where an estimated 270 million users have IPv6 connectivity to the Internet. If an assumption is made that IPv6 will be used for IoT devices in the future, India's network environment provides a robust ecosystem to test out new IoT-related technologies. Debjani Ghosh, President, NASSCOM said, "This is the first collaboration of its kind, and with our combined resources we hope to witness significant innovation and development in the DNS and Internet space to support billions of IoT devices in the coming years." In addition to the technical activities, the Internet Identifier Innovation Center will also facilitate outreach to boost the Indian community's participation in ICANN policymaking processes and the Internet's multistakeholder governance model. To reach more stakeholders around the world, ICANN org has established partnership centers in Egypt, Korea, and Paraguay. Policymaking at ICANN Are you new to policymaking at ICANN?

Call to action: All women in tech dare to change the world and contribute a brick to build our common house for the future Internet. Ihita Gangavarapu India Ihita Gangavarapu has a background in electronics and communication engineering. Her current research field is in image processing and artificial intelligence. Gangavarapu is passionate about building awareness around Internet governance issues and feels that trust and accessibility are essential to the growth of the Internet. She is also on the steering committee of YouthIGF India and helped organize its first occurrence in 2017. Gangavarapu first attended an ICANN Public Meeting as a NextGen participant in 2016. There she was able to find her area of interest and began to build a foundation in Internet governance. At ICANN65, she will attend as a NextGen ambassador and looks forward to helping and contributing to the NextGen team in Marrakech. Michael Casadevall United States Michael Casadevall became involved with ICANN in 2017 and has since worked with the GNSO Subsequent Procedures Working Group, become a member of the NCUC, and represented NARALO at the ARIN43 Forum in Barbados. He also works to identify areas to increase Universal Acceptance (UA) across the Internet ecosystem. One of Casadevall's main area of focus is helping to increase security and accessibility to the Internet for end users. He helps develop tools to help research the behavior of Domain Name System (DNS) recursive resolvers and has given lectures on DNS security. Casadevall believes that access to the Internet is a right and hopes to shape policy that provides free, equal, and open access to everyone. Call to action: I hope that my work with ICANN helps to increase accessibility, improve security of the DNS, and remove barriers to allow equal access to DNS services. <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001FtGYjf0cncnHCzGFp2syLmqkXKi-_JDyqggg5lw-Px4A…> <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001FtGYjf0cncnHCzGFp2syLmqkXKi-_JDyqggg5lw-Px4A…> <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001FtGYjf0cncnHCzGFp2syLmqkXKi-_JDyqggg5lw-Px4A…> <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001FtGYjf0cncnHCzGFp2syLmqkXKi-_JDyqggg5lw-Px4A…> <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001FtGYjf0cncnHCzGFp2syLmqkXKi-_JDyqggg5lw-Px4A…> <complaints(a)icann.org> <ombudsman(a)icann.org> <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001FtGYjf0cncnHCzGFp2syLmqkXKi-_JDyqggg5lw-Px4A…> <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001FtGYjf0cncnHCzGFp2syLmqkXKi-_JDyqggg5lw-Px4A…> <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001FtGYjf0cncnHCzGFp2syLmqkXKi-_JDyqggg5lw-Px4A…> <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001FtGYjf0cncnHCzGFp2syLmqkXKi-_JDyqggg5lw-Px4A…> <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001FtGYjf0cncnHCzGFp2syLmqkXKi-_JDyqggg5lw-Px4A…> <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001FtGYjf0cncnHCzGFp2syLmqkXKi-_JDyqggg5lw-Px4A…> <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001FtGYjf0cncnHCzGFp2syLmqkXKi-_JDyqggg5lw-Px4A…> <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001FtGYjf0cncnHCzGFp2syLmqkXKi-_JDyqggg5lw-Px4A…> <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001FtGYjf0cncnHCzGFp2syLmqkXKi-_JDyqggg5lw-Px4A…> <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001FtGYjf0cncnHCzGFp2syLmqkXKi-_JDyqggg5lw-Px4A…> <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001FtGYjf0cncnHCzGFp2syLmqkXKi-_JDyqggg5lw-Px4A…> <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001FtGYjf0cncnHCzGFp2syLmqkXKi-_JDyqggg5lw-Px4A…> <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001FtGYjf0cncnHCzGFp2syLmqkXKi-_JDyqggg5lw-Px4A…> <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001FtGYjf0cncnHCzGFp2syLmqkXKi-_JDyqggg5lw-Px4A…> <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001FtGYjf0cncnHCzGFp2syLmqkXKi-_JDyqggg5lw-Px4A…> ICANN, 12025 Waterfront Dr., Suite 300, Los Angeles, CA 90094 SafeUnsubscribe™ muyiwacaleb(a)gmail.com <https://visitor.constantcontact.com/do?p=un&m=001fV5zcrmnzCVnMiD3Cw8NvQ%3D%…> Forward this email <http://ui.constantcontact.com/sa/fwtf.jsp?llr=nj88a9rab&m=1118638566701&ea=…> | Update Profile <https://visitor.constantcontact.com/do?p=oo&m=001fV5zcrmnzCVnMiD3Cw8NvQ%3D%…> | About our service provider <http://www.constantcontact.com/legal/service-provider?cc=about-service-prov…> Sent by icann.communications(a)communications.icann.org -- *Ogundele Olumuyiwa Caleb* *muyiwacaleb(a)gmail.com <muyiwacaleb(a)gmail.com>* *234 - 8077377378* *234 - 07030777969*

"We want to share with the community what we have done thus far and what we're planning for the future," said Sarah Deutsch, an ICANN Board member and Chair of the Working Group. "And we want the community to understand how committed we are to fostering a culture of trust and mutual respect in ICANN's multistakeholder community." The Working Group wants to increase the community's awareness of ICANN's *Community Anti-Harassment Policy [r20.rs6.net] <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__r20.rs6.net_tn.jsp-3Ff-…>* and the processes that follow after a harassment complaint has been received. Deutsch said today's session is a follow-on to a session at ICANN64 in Kobe, Japan, during which a cross-section of interested community members gave the Working Group suggestions and ideas to consider in its awareness campaign and research. "We want the community to know we have heard them and have immediately implemented certain changes that will be visible in Marrakech to increase awareness of ICANN's anti-harassment policy," said Deutsch. "But there is more work to be done, including around adopting best practices to implement our policy." To afford a common understanding of what constitutes best practices in anti-harassment policy implementation, ICANN org has carried out some preliminary research that focuses on education, awareness, and outreach. The Working Group is inviting community feedback on that research, which will be discussed during today's session. Community members may provide feedback by writing to *anti-harassment(a)icann.org <anti-harassment(a)icann.org>* by 20 July 2019.
