[CPWG] A call for topics for the ICANN73 GAC-ALAC bilateral meeting

[Roberto Gaetano]

Dear all,

As you probably know, we have entered the UN International Decade of Indigenous Languages - see for instance https://en.unesco.org/news/upcoming-decade-indigenous-languages-2022-2032-focus-indigenous-language-users-human-rights.

I wonder whether we can discuss with the GAC whether we can take joint actions in support of the multilingualism on the Internet, as this seems to me a domain in which we have common interests. This is a very wide area, and there is the serious risk of dispersing our scarce resources to cover a too large footprint, but maybe we can identify one or two specific items to start working on.

As an example, we can discuss whether we can take joint actions in support of the Universal Acceptance. You have heard me several times arguing that UA is not a sufficient tool to guarantee universal and meaningful access to the internet, but it is surely a necessary one. Now we have an ALAC Liaison to UASG - congratulations Satish!!! - and maybe it is a good time to check whether we can discuss with the GAC some common objectives and coordinate actions.

Cheers,
Roberto

Dear all,

In line with the long-standing tradition of bilateral GAC/ALAC meetings, the next opportunity to meet with the GAC is scheduled for March 10th. Planning for that event together with the GAC Liaison to the GAC we are reaching out with a kind request for your suggestions of issues to be discussed.
The proposal for a topic that has been received from the GAC is: "Public Interest Processes to be discussed in light of the plenary session”.
As a reminder, the standing agenda items thus far have included

  *   DNS Abuse,
  *   Public Interest,
  *   EPDP and
  *   SubPro,

whereas we might want to review this list for any topics to be added or replaced.

We are also looking to set up the small WG on the “Joint White Paper on recommendations of concrete and enforceable contract provisions regarding the DNS Abuse mitigation between ICANN and Contracted parties," with a first working meeting happening ahead of ICANN 73. It might be recommended to keep this WG small and focused, hence recommendations for due process in identifying its members would be most welcome.

I would be happy to further discuss these items in the coming CPWG call, but equally comfortable with following up in this e-mail thread.

Thank you for considering and kind regards,
Joanna Kulesza
