I definitely think all this should be a policy topic in Kobe!

Just catching up -

One thing that has been at the back of my mind for some time is what steps the GNSO can take to assist end user participation.  If you go back to recommendation from the GNSO (held before the ALAC Review) one of the recommendations was for something like webinars or briefings from them on issues up for consultation.  It could be in consultation with our own webinar series, or a process that allows all stakeholders to participate - including TWO webinars so that at least one of the times suits the rest of the globe!

And, of course, all of the issues of whether there should be ‘rounds’ - which we have already discussed a lot - as well as what steps need to precede the opening of release of more gTLDs

Hi Maureen. Here's a possible topic for a session with GNSO. I was reading the International Center for Dispute Resolution case re: Afilias and ICANN and the following information was provided re: GNSO policy recommendations re: the a new gTLD program:

"The New gTLD Program has produced ICANN’s most ambitious expansion of the Internet’s naming system. Under the Program, any interested party could apply for the opportunity to operate new gTLDs that were not already in use in the DNS, meaning that there was no cap on the number of new gTLDs that could be added to the Internet. The Program was designed to enhance diversity, creativity and consumer choice in gTLDs, and to provide the benefits of innovation to consumers. The Program arose from policy recommendations by ICANN’s Generic Names Supporting Organization (“GNSO”), which were based on community input during the period 2005-2007. On 26 June 2008, the ICANN Board adopted the GNSO’s policy recommendations and directed the ICANN organization to develop an implementation plan for the Program, to be provided to the Board for approval" (italics added)

Given the fact that At-large is asking if there really is a need/demand for another round, where that demand is coming from and what is the benefit to end users of more gTLDs -- maybe this might be a topic that could be explored.

Hi everyone

Hope your plans for Xmas Day are coming along well.. 🎄🎄🎄

But just before you start celebrating.. can I please ask you to give some thought after Xmas, if you can remember to do so, as to what you would like to ask the following groups, if we were to ask them to come to an ALAC working session.

GAC - Yrjo and Ana have been working diligently on their topics based on our feedback so we can then work on the how we present these together. We have a session planned with them already.

ccNSO - Barrack and Wafa are asking the ccNSO If they want to see us, or is there anything that the ALAC wants to know about or of the ccNSO - I know that they have their Review coming up soon. I hope they are preparing better than we did so that there are no surprises 😡 Session still TBC

SSAC? Andrei has been sending us some interesting reports.. any questions?

RSSAC?  - did anyone read their Review Report (July 2018<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/rssac-review-final-02jul18-en.pdf>) - interesting..

ASO? have we met with the ASO before? should we? We would have to bring in the 5 RIRs - would need a lot of coordinating.

GNSO -  we haven't had a meeting with the GNSO since Heather was appointed. They now have a new leader Keith Drasek.. anyone want to ask Keith anything?

 - and if we do ask anything of anyone, what kind of response are we after? (so its not just a lecture)..

Just asking....

Merry Xmas 😊
Maureen
