AW: [ispcp] ISPCP issues

Regarding the GNSO endorsement of AoC applicants I have to correct what
I've said yesterday. Sorry, I was a little bit confused about the
process and may have confused others, too.

The status is as follows:

Timeline suggested by ICANN: 

October 1st - beginning activities RTs 2 and 4

September 20 - final list of candidates delivered to Selectors for
selection of members

August 1st - closing of the application period

June 25 (end Bxl meeting) - launching of call for applicants

This means that the GNSO council has to vote on endorsement process
prior to the Brussels meeting. The intention is to vote on June 10.

>From CSG side the IPC (Kristina R.) and CBUC (Zahid J.) and myself are
in the draftind team. Although IPC and CBUC did not actively participate
there was not yet any intervention from their side regarding the process
intented. I myself think that the process is applicable and - in case 4
slots should be allocated to the GNSO - the best we could achieve.

I'd like to suggest that you'd comment on the process and the motion
attached asap. E.g. the motion could be amended in parts, for example
not to cover all futere RT's rather than RT's 2 and 4.

Apologies for the confusion!

Draft motion:

Whereas, in furtherance of ICANN's responsibilities under the
Affirmation of Commitment (AOC), the GNSO Council formed a drafting team
to develop a process to endorse volunteers to serve on the each of the
AOC review teams;

Whereas, the AOC Review Requirements Drafting team (AOC-RR Drafting
Team) has proposed a process to facilitate such GNSO Council
endorsements;

Whereas, the GNSO Council desires to adopt the AOC-RR Drafting Team
proposed process for all future AOC review team selections;

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT:

Resolved, that the GNSO Council hereby approves the Endorsement Process
described in the attached document <insert link to document>;

Resolved further, that the GNSO Council should implement the Endorsement
Process for all future AOC review team selections, including the "WHOIS
Policy" and the "Security, Stability, and Resiliency of the DNS" Review
Teams; and

RESOLVED FURTHER, ICANN Staff is requested to post and distribute the
Endorsement Process as widely as possible to all GNSO related groups in
an effort to inform qualified applicants of the important work of the
"WHOIS Policy" and "Security, Stability and Resiliency of the DNS"
review teams.

The Draft process is included in the document attached.

Wolf-Ulrich

Betreff: [ispcp] ISPCP issues

All 

Today conference call covered the following issues.

1.       Response to Rod Beckstrom request to the ISPCP on security
issues.

The proposed draft was discussed. The plan is to forward the final
version to ICANN tomorrow. The draft is attached. Please respond
promptly with any final comments.

2.       GNSO Priorities

The proposed list of priorities will be discussed during next week's
GNSO call. Please supply any comment to Wolf-Ulrich Knoben and Jaime
Wagner in advance of that meeting.

3.       GNSO endorsement of AoC applicants.

Clarity was sought between the overall selection process and the role of
the GNSO. It was noted that the GNSO is likely to be endorsing just 4
slots, instead of 6. The intention is to finalise the selection process
ASAP, but this will still allow discussion to take place at the Brussels
meeting before final agreements are in place.

4.       Implementation of new gTLDs

Concern has been voiced by some parties over  the process where IDN
applications are evaluated for string similarity against gTLDs in other
scripts. Arguments have been made that in some cases the degree of
confusion arising may greatly differ and in some cases where it is
minor, a different approach may be considered. This will be discussed
further at the Brussels meeting.

5.       Date of next call

Thursday 10th June at 15.00 UTC

The agenda for the ISPCP meeting will be determined on this call.
