[council] ICANN's Legislative/Regulatory Tracker -- Recommended Improvements

Mon Jun 24 09:22:03 UTC 2019

In LAC I would need to reach out to a lot of folks, so I can have a country by country update. If I had ICANN power to follow that is absolutely doable. To have an excel with each country initiatives, receiving three reports from each country, one from a big law firm and another one from a civil society NGO with legal activism and a last one from a government representative:

In the region there is relevant activity in the following areas that could impact DNS operations (there are others, I am sure, but this I know for a fact exist in several jurisdictions):

- New Data Privacy laws, some of them as ripples of the GDPR in Europe
- Intermediary Liability laws and Supreme Court precedents, to either filter, control o provide protections to third parties right, image, IP, fake news, etc.
- Trademark or Domain Name laws, INCLUDING Treaties. (Some Free trade agreements in LatAm have DNS provision to address trademark protection, as they might also have Data Protection or Intermediary Liability provisions)
- Ciber-crime laws, might also put special strains in the infrastructure law requirements in legal investigations, from scams to child protection.

While the latter part of the action item (e.g., engaging at ICANN65) is likely impractical at this point, you may still want to draft a message to send to ICANN org. As Keith noted, please work together and let staff know if you need any assistance.

While their work product is currently a spreadsheet, I recall we agreed it needs to go much deeper in analysis and demonstrate a predictive capability for where future or existing regulations impact GNSO policies, in effect now or under future development.
