Engagement session
by Jennifer Bryce Sept. 27, 2018

Sept. 27, 2018

Dear SSR2 Review Team, I’m passing on a specific question that was asked by GNSO Council leadership: “I understand the challenges associated with finding non-conflicted sessions in Barcelona, but 0900 on what we know as Constituency Day is far from ideal. Is there any reason why the engagement session can’t be done as a webinar after the ICANN meeting? This will likely result in a larger more engaged audience.” We shared this information during the leadership call on Monday, and, as discussed then, are working with the meetings team to see if there is another time for the engagement session.

Clarification requested
by Jennifer Bryce Sept. 20, 2018

Sept. 20, 2018

Dear Denise, We have been asked by the SMEs to provide some clarification on the below questions. As you asked the questions, could you please provide the clarification requested in the bold text below? The full text of the associated recommendations is included at the bottom of this email for reference. Many thanks in advance, Jennifer 1. Regarding recommendation 10, question asked via email<https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/ssr2-review/2017-August/000564.html>: Please provide a summary of the number of complaints and enforcement actions against registries and registrars taken by contractual compliance on the basis of SSR obligations in the past 5 years. Clarification requested: What is meant by the highlighted text? 1. Regarding recommendation 11, question asked via email<https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/ssr2-review/2017-August/000564.html>: How many new gTLD applications were failed (or placed in contention or required to take additional steps) on the basis of the (i) the security and stability review or (ii) the string similarity review. Clarification requested: I am not able to see how failed applications, applications in contentions and applicants that had to take additional steps are related. Is there a common thread between the three? Or are you asking how many applications were impacted by the 2 reviews listed? Are you interested in applications that may have been impacted by these reviews in other ways than the 3 you listed? Recommendation 10: ICANN should continue its efforts to step up contract compliance enforcement and provide adequate resources for this function. ICANN also should develop and implement a more structured process for monitoring compliance issues and investigations. Recommendation 11: ICANN should finalize and implement measures of success for new gTLDs and IDN fast track that expressly relate to its SSR-related program objectives, including measurements for the effectiveness of mechanisms to mitigate domain name abuse. -- Jennifer Bryce Senior Reviews Coordinator Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Email: jennifer.bryce(a)icann.org Skype: jennifer.bryce.icann www.icann.org

Q&As
by Denise Michel Sept. 20, 2018

Sept. 20, 2018

Dear staff: I have a couple requests and questions relating to Q&As<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lFKb5ghbhQgl2klzQChHWT8_Y4WfTL21J9Q….>. 1. When can we expect answers, or an ETA for answers, for outstanding questions? In particular, can we have answers relevant to Recs 1-5 before our next call? 2. In reviewing the answers that have been provided, I see that several answers re-state what was said in the briefing related to the recommendation. While I appreciate the summary (rather than just a link to a meeting recording), the questions were follow-ups to the briefings (note the dates; in some cases the briefings were the genesis for the questions). In addition to referencing statements in the briefings, would you please ask relevant staff to consider the questions and whether more specific answers (with links) could be provided? 3. It would be useful if you would please include relevant Q&As in the material you provide the team in advance of our calls addressing recommendations. Thank you.
