Suggested updates for our agenda on Sunday
by Emily Taylor March 13, 2011

March 13, 2011

Dear all Thanks for all the work you have put in to making the public comment happen. Reviewing the definitional work done by the subteams, I think it has been a job well done. I'm looking forward to receiving comments through this process. Thinking about Sunday's agenda - a couple of thoughts: - We were unable to get an Art 29 speaker as originally planned - The GAC has responded to our invitation for an outreach session, with a suggested time of 15:30-16:00 - Our discussions in our most recent call highlighted the need for us to spend some quality time as a group discussing what is meant by consumer trust, and revisiting what we are trying to do with our questionnaire. - Given that our definitions are now out for public comment, I don't think we can really progress them until we've got some feedback from the community. So, I'm attaching a redline of the agenda, and would appreciate any comments. It looks worse than it is, because most of the changes are in fact re-ordering. The main changes are to replace subteam definitions feedback/discussion with a session on consumer trust and the questionnaire, and to put in a session with GAC in the afternoon. Please let me know what you think. 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

ICANN SV Meeting - change to general schedule, FYI
by Denise Michel March 11, 2011

March 11, 2011

http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-2-10mar11-en.htm ICANN 40 – Silicon Valley Meeting Schedule Changes 10 March 2011 Continuing discussions between the Board and the Governmental Advisory Committee have resulted in schedule changes for ICANN's upcoming meeting Silicon Valley – San Francisco Public Meeting. The Board and the GAC made progress in their Brussels consultations in narrowing the outstanding issues, as evidenced in the reporting of anticipated changes made in response to GAC's scorecard. As a result, and to increase the likelihood of additional areas of agreement, the Board and GAC have agreed on the need to expand the planned consultation at the upcoming Silicon Valley meeting. The main schedule highlights are: - The addition of the planned Board-GAC consultations in two separate sessions, on Tuesday and Thursday. These consultations were noticed by the ICANN Board<http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/resolutions-25jan11-en.htm#5> and will follow the same protocol as the recent meeting in Brussels: the Board and GAC will continue their dialogue and the public will be allowed to observe. - Tuesday, 15 March: 9:00am – 5:00pm - Thursday, 17 March: 8:00am – 4:00pm - As part of ICANN's multi-stakeholder, bottom-up process, two other sessions will allow the community to provide feedback on the new gTLD program and the GAC-Board consultations in particular. These are scheduled for: - Monday, 14 March: 2:00pm – 4:30pm - Wednesday, 16 March: 9:00am – 12:00pm - The public forum, offering participants the chance to offer their views on a wide range of important Internet-related topics, this will occur on Thursday, 17 March, 4:00pm – 6:00pm. - The *Getting Ready – The New gTLD Questionnaire* session that was scheduled for Thursday, 17 March, conflicts with other gTLD sessions and will be rescheduled for an online session after the meeting. The Silicon Valley meeting schedule will be updated shortly. We apologize for these last minute changes, which we know may cause some inconvenience. However, given the extraordinary nature of the topics and the opportunity presented, ICANN leaders thought time should be devoted to this. We hope this notice allows you time to adjust your schedules accordingly. For those unable to attend in person, remote participation will be available. See details for each session on the schedule.

FW: WIPO attendance at ICANN meeting in SFO?
by Olof Nordling March 7, 2011

March 7, 2011

Emily, Lynn, all, I received the below reply from Erik Wilbers/WIPO, for your information. In a subsequent dialogue he made clear that this is the input they can provide to you for the SFO meeting - or otherwise expressed: no opportunities for an in person presentation this time. All the best Olof From: Wilbers, Erik [mailto:Erik.Wilbers@wipo.int] Sent: Monday, March 07, 2011 7:53 PM To: Olof Nordling Cc: Alice Jansen; Roache-Turner, David; Beckham, Brian Subject: WIPO attendance at ICANN meeting in SFO? Dear Olof, Thank you for your query, which reaches us not only amidst record case filings but also in times of sudden acceleration of various ICANN rights protection mechanism determinations in the lead-up to its San Francisco meeting later this week. As UDRP initiator and provider, and generally from an intellectual property point of view, the WIPO Center believes that the WhoIs is a very important theme. Without mentioning other possible avenues for enforcement, the WhoIs is the foundation for fair, accurate and predictable proceedings and the reliability of information contained therein is key. Working within the present WhoIs constraints, the WIPO Center has developed elaborate procedures (based on public WhoIs data and registrar verification replies to specific provider questions) to enable UDRP users and panels to have access to the appropriate information for informed pleadings and decisions. With privacy and proxy services in use in an estimated (by ICANN) 25% of registrations overall, and (based on observed WIPO figures) approximately 20% of UDRP cases filed with WIPO (which has processed 20,000 UDRP cases to date), the need for all UDRP stakeholders for some certainty on the issues is real and pressing. We feel it should not be for WIPO, its panels, parties and UDRP stakeholders generally to continue to find interim solutions for a matter that is or should be addressed in ICANN's own Registrar Accreditation Agreement as a basis for compliance and enforcement at the level of the Registration Agreement. In addition to devising a responsible UDRP WhoIs mechanism, WIPO has made serious contributions to a number of ICANN processes with a view to improving the timely verification of UDRP party names and contact information for UDRP notification and communication purposes. This includes in particular requested input made to (and presentations at previously-convened ICANN meetings concerning) ICANN's envisaged Registrar Best Practices Guidelines over the past two years, which we understand is still a project under ICANN consideration. As ICANN knows, we see a need for a uniform standard/mechanism for registrant "disclosure" in the WhoIs in cases involving privacy and proxy registration services. While acknowledging that some positive initial steps have been taken, we think that if ICANN is serious about tackling the myriad challenges implicit in the use of privacy and proxy registration services, it needs to do so both through encouraging uniform registrar and privacy service disclosure practice, as well as at the level of the WhoIs itself. This could also come to involve registries, in the thicker WhoIs model being considered. Moving responsibility for the thicker WhoIs data to a higher level could also make implementing any uniform approach on privacy and proxies that much more workable. Such uniformity is likely to become even more desirable following any New gTLD launch, as the number of registries and registrars are both likely to exponentially increase. Please feel free to take our previous contributions and this reply as the WIPO Center's contribution to the presently planned further discussion. Where good-faith submissions translate into concrete results, we would be pleased to make further contributions at that point. In the interim, it always a pleasure to see you. With best wishes, Erik Wilbers Director WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center ________________________________ From: Olof Nordling [mailto:olof.nordling@icann.org] Sent: lundi, 14. février 2011 13:44 To: Wilbers, Erik Cc: Alice Jansen Subject: WIPO attendance at ICANN meeting in SFO? Dear Erik, Will you and/or any of your colleagues from WIPO come to the ICANN meeting in San Francisco in March? As you may know, the Reviews according to ICANN's Affirmation of Commitments are ongoing and the WHOIS Review Team will have a sequence of meetings in SFO. That team would appreciate an opportunity to meet with WIPO to discuss your experience of WHOIS in conjunction with UDRP cases. Does that sound like something doable for you or your colleagues? I hope it is - and I'm looking forward to seeing you in San Francisco!
