Brainstorming notes
by Kathy Kleiman Jan. 7, 2011

Jan. 7, 2011

Dear All, I wanted to circulate the "brainstorming notes" from our informal session in Cartagena. Tx to Sharon, Susan and Lynn for joining us by phone. Tx to Wilfried, Bill and James for joining us in person, as well as Olof, Alice and Liz. Liz did an excellent presentation and overview of the types of materials ICANN has on Whois - it was very helpful. As promised, let me share with you the brainstorming notes - in draft form. These are the notes that emerged from the two working groups that worked for 45 minutes separately on scope of work issues. When we came together we found many question in common - a framework for our scope of work. Notes below and attached. Please feel free to edit - all who attended. Please feel free to build on these ideas - all! Brainstorming notes from the Information Whois Review Team Session in Cartagena (below and attached - same document) I. REMOTE GROUP IDEAS (as written up on large sheets of white paper) Communication concerns Definitions Consumer + Law Enforcement needed "Consumer:" private + business "Law Enforcement" - policy powers? IP interests? courts? More work in London Scope work not limited Any relevant topics to be included II. LOCAL GROUP IDEAS (as written up on large sheets of white paper, and edited based on Kathy's notes as secretary of the local group) Starting point: we need to have a scope, but I should have some leniency (to cover things we may miss upfront. Our outreach efforts may also help us find bases we have not covered). Keep it open-ended, but be concise. Terms not defined: - Consumer (buyer, registrant, those involved with general operations of the Internet) - law enforcement - legitimate needs of law enforcement - promotes consumer trust Additional aspects to consider: - applicable laws - international jurisdictional issues - different laws - paying attention to laws around the world. - Contract vs. law (agreements among parties for choice of law versus what national law and public policy might require). Look at consultants Non US centric approach Uniform experience for consumers? Registrars under different jurisdictions Competition issues --> consumer experience Regarding approach to definitions: build tree structure to explore these issues starting with Affirmation of Commitments and building from there. Define stakeholders Well defined scope but be flexible Avoid discussing definitions and scope too much, and thus have no time to do work. Discussion - the 3 bullets - pretty vague Scope should not be too explicit, potentially finishing Provide framework vs. definition today III. TOGETHER - When we resumed together (remote and local groups) Considerable overlap in our work. Agreed: "Sounds like rough agreement" -- Review of larger group Before London/London: Work on Definitions Create Framework for the questions we want to ask (to ourselves and others) and a way of processing the feedback we expect. Olof and James suggest working on a tree structure - starting with the basic broad ideas, and further defining them into the details. What's Next? General Agreement on need for: 1. More formal scoping document 2. Merging work today into Wiki document 3. Creating a work plan for London 4. Holding a teleconference before London 5. Opening today's work to the whole of the Review Team for ideas, thoughts, concern, questions and additions.

Today I merged those Cartagena notes into our Wiki Scope of Work document. The Scope of Work can be found under "Work in Progress," "Scope of Whois Review Team" at https://community.icann.org/display/whoisreview/Scope+of+Whois+Review+Te am).

All, Once again, in the spirit of suggesting ideas to facilitate your work, below is a draft template that the GNSO has developed on Statements Of Interest for use by Working Group participants and new Council members. It has not been officially adopted, and it will be the subject of further revision, but it is being used today. I hope you find it helpful. It can be modified or adapted as the group sees fit. Best, Liz Statements of Interest Definition: A written statement made by a Relevant Party that provides a declaration of interests that may affect the Relevant Party's judgment, on any matters to be considered by the Working Group. Content: Relevant Parties shall complete a Statement of Interest as specified below: 1. Please identify your current employer(s) and position(s). 2. Please identify your declared country of residence, which may be the country to which you pay taxes. 3. Please identify the type(s) of work performed at #1 above. 4. Please list any financial relationship beyond de minimus stock ownership you may have with any company that has a financial relationship or contract with ICANN. 5. Are you participating in this group as a representative of any individual or entity, whether paid or unpaid? Please answer "yes" or "no." If the answer is "yes," please provide the name of the represented individual or entity. 6.

Proposed call before London meeting - your feedback please.
by Emily Taylor Dec. 22, 2010

Dec. 22, 2010

Dear all First of all, sorry for missing the call in Cartagena. I had to change travel plans at the last minute because of poor weather, and it just didn't work out. I have had a full debrief from Kathy and reviewed the notes. I understand that the meeting was successful. Thanks to all who contributed. One of the actions that arose out of the meeting was a request for a call before our London meeting. With the holiday season looming, I have a suggestion for this: I suggest that we try a one agenda item call, to see whether we can sign off the Scope of Work document prior to London. I am aware that those who attended Cartagena (whether in person or remotely) made good progress, and there was substantial meeting of minds on amending the working document (posted on the Wiki around mid-November). Kathy will be posting the amended document on the Wiki soon, and I encourage everyone to take a look, and amend if necessary. My suggestion is that we aim for a 1 hour call, either towards the end of the week beginning 3 Jan or any time during the week of 10 Jan. Please can I ask for any objections to this proposal, or alternative suggestions? Kind regards Emily 76 Temple Road, Oxford OX4 2EZ UK telephone: 01865 582 811 mobile: 07540 049 322 emily.taylor(a)etlaw.co.uk www.etlaw.co.uk
