In response to Bill’s question let me take a first whack at
a short response with respect to only the DNS part of the resource
flow out of
developing to developed countries. This is separate from payments
to ISPs, for
websites, and for website applications. <o:p></o:p><br>
<br>
For each individual domain name owner the revenue flow goes
to the registrar, part on to the registry, and part on to ICANN.
While there
are registrars in developing countries, limited information
suggests that most
registrations use developed country registrars and gTLDs owned by
developed
country registries. [<i>Many are also hosted on developed country
web servers, an additional outflow</i>] There is some
information at the recently released “<i><b>Phase
One Registrant Survey on the Domain Name Landscape</b></i>”
from ICANN at: <a
href="https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2015-09-25-en"><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2015-09-25-en">https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2015-09-25-en</a></a>.
<o:p></o:p><br>
<br>
So, a part of each and every annual domain name registration
fee flows out of developing countries and goes to registrars and
registries in
developed countries. This outflow would diminish as more gTLDs are
managed by
developing country registries, as domain names are sold by more
developing
country registrars [<i>and as more websites are hosted locally</i>].
<o:p></o:p><br>
<br>
Developing country registrars have been quite vocal at ICANN
meetings about the fact that ICANN conditions imposed on registry
contracts
with registrars are particularly burdensome in a developing
country context.
For the most part such concerns have not been addressed. <br>

we ask the board how it is coming with its research
in the "global public interest". In the annual mtg
last where we asked the board about its
understanding of the global public interest, how it
determines, on what basis, etc. At that time, the
board said it was just getting started on compiling
some research that it would share and had hired
Nora. So it would be great if we could have an
update or further conversation on this concept, how
it is determined and applies, etc.<b class="">"</b></i></div>

<div class="gmail_extra">there was several comments with
that regard indicating that a research is ongoing and

<div class="gmail_extra">"Nielsen's report confirms that
Latin America, Asia and Africa will likely be the
great drivers of new gTLD acceptance and use, while
most registries are still based in developed regions.
There is a net transference of resources taking place
from the developing to the developed world in the DNS
industry. The problems that developing regions face
have been extensively explained. What is the
perception of the board? In the opinion of board
members, which concrete measures could be put in
place? Why not even suggestions from the JAS report
have been implemented yet? Would the board commit to a
clear plan to address the current imbalances before a
new round of applications is launched?"</div>
<div class="gmail_extra"><br class="">
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">there was also comment that we
can also ask the Global Domain Division (GDD) during a
GNSO session . Others mentioned: knowledge imbalance,
capacity building and remediation mechanisms of
imbalance in next rounds</div>

until Wednesday 30 23:59</p>

). So perhaps we can ask ICANN about how</p>
<p class="">they envisage living up to article 4 of
the articles of incorporation</p>
<p class="">and whether there are concrete plans to do
or develop:</p>
<p class="">1. A human rights policy</p>
<p class="">2. A human rights impact assessment</p>
<p class="">3. A full corporate social responsibility
strategy</p>
<p class="">in order to live up to the existing
commitments. And whether they are</p>
<p class="">thinking of using the UN Guiding
Principles on Business and Human</p>
<p class="">Rights for this. And of course: what is
the timeline for this."</p>
<p class=""><br class="">
</p>
<p class="">I would like to add comment about
developing countries and new gTLD program issue,
there was a lot of work done by NCSG on that matter
within GNSO and we succeeded in 2010 to get a joint
working on new gTLD applicant support, with the
active participation of several NCSG members.<br
class="">
</p>
A report was delivered with several recommendations
, some of them were approved in 2011 by the board :<br
class="">
<br class="">
- timeline for the working group is here <a

<div class="gmail_extra"><br class="">
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">the result of the
implementation was satisfactory due partly that the
program was implemented quite late when the new gTLD
program itself was starting and there was no
significant outreach to get more applicants from
developing regions.</div>
<div class="gmail_extra"><br class="">
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">The same issue concerns having
more registrars from developing countries and there
was last year a consultation launched by ICANN staff <a

. </div>
<div class="gmail_extra"><br class="">
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">I would conclude about this
that we should leverage those existing initiatives to
go further and be effective.</div>
<div class="gmail_extra"><br class="">
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra"><br class="">
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">going back to the topics
discussion, it still going on and we should tune and
refine the topics and their descriptions. other
suggestions are welcome too.</div>
