<p>HI All,</p>
<p>I have heard that there are talks about combining the At Large
and the CCNSO's proposals, so this still might happen. Will let
all know what I hear as this could change people's votes <br>
</p>
<p>The current WSIS20 mailing list that ICANN set up is very helpful
and encourage everyone to join. ICANN has been putting on calls
and sessions for this and will continue to do so. It is why I
think we might want to select another session than the CCNSO
session. I think the geopolitics and the infrastructure issues
discussed in the At Large session will make for a very interesting
session. But I am in support of a merged session with CCNSO if
that can be worked out. <br>
</p>
<p>Best,</p>
<p>Judith<br>

<br>
1. *ccNSO Proposal*
<br>
<br>
The ccNSO Council suggests a plenary session during the ICANN 81
meeting
<br>
to be held in Istanbul in November 2024, on the topic of the
WSIS+20
<br>
Review and what ICANN (the community and the organisation) can
do to
<br>
help advertise and preserve ICANN’s multi-stakeholder model, and
the
<br>
broader multi-stakeholder internet governance approach, during
the Review.
<br>
<br>
ICANN is working with the community to reflect on lessons
learned in the
<br>
GDC process during 2023-2024, and developing a strategy for the
role
<br>
ICANN and its community can play during the WSIS+20 review in
2024 and
<br>
2025. By the time ICANN81 rolls around, this strategy should be
well
<br>
developed, and it will be time to further mobilise the ICANN
community
<br>
around the role it can play in this important work.
<br>
<br>
The main outcomes of such a session should be that:
<br>
<br>
* The ICANN community is well informed about the strategic
approach to
<br>
the WSIS+20 Review, and what role individual organisations
and
<br>
communities can play
<br>
* The ICANN community is mobilised to play the roles they
can play as
<br>
part of the Review
<br>
<br>
A secondary outcome would be the sharing of greater insight
about where
<br>
the WSIS+20 review is at, though this can be covered in the
Geopolitical
<br>
session.
<br>
<br>
2. *IPC Proposal*
<br>
<br>
_Working Title:_Reviewing ICANN’s Accountability Mechanisms
<br>
<br>
_Aim:_ To hold a general discussion across the community about
the
<br>
ICANN Accountability Mechanisms, particularly the Request for
<br>
Reconsideration (RFR) and Independent Review Process (IRP) in
order to
<br>
elicit views on whether:
<br>
<br>
* these mechanisms are fit for purpose
<br>
* there are unintended outcomes resulting from the manner in
which
<br>
these mechanisms are set out in the Bylaws. For example:
<br>
o do the standing and grounds requirements for either
mechanism
<br>
serve to exclude legitimate access by those that the
community
<br>
intended to have access, such as SO, AC, SG and Cs
<br>
o Are these mechanisms available to any classes of
complainant who
<br>
were not intended by the community to have access to
them
<br>
o Is the EC IRP process sufficiently clear and
unambiguous.
<br>
* there are concerns sufficient to warrant review and
potential
<br>
revision of the relevant Bylaws provisions and, if so,
whether there
<br>
is a sufficient support from the community to convene a
CCWG to work
<br>
on this.
<br>
<br>
_Brief Background:_
<br>
<br>
On a number of occasions recently, including in meetings with
the GNSO
<br>
Council, ICANN Board Members have expressed the view that the
IRP, as
<br>
presently drafted, could be used by classes of potential
claimant who
<br>
were never intended to have access to this mechanism, such as an
<br>
unsuccessful respondent to an ICANN RFP or tender process.
Board
<br>
Members have expressed the desire for a community discussion on
this.
<br>
<br>
At the same time, the GNSO’s Intellectual Property Constituency
recently
<br>
brought a RFR against a proposal by the Board that would have
had the
<br>
effect of changing a Fundamental Bylaws without following the
<br>
Bylaws-mandated process for doing so. The IPC’s RFR was
summarily
<br>
dismissed as failing to demonstrate that the IPC was harmed by
such a
<br>
Board action.
<br>
<br>
The intent of this session would not be to publicly debate the
IPC’s
<br>
ongoing disagreement with ICANN over the RFR, which is currently
in the
<br>
Co-Operative Engagement Process. Rather, we believe that both
examples
<br>
demonstrate that there are concerns, both on ICANN Org’s side
and on the
<br>
Community side, with these important accountability mechanisms
which
<br>
were revised as a result of the cross community work on
Accountability
<br>
in the context of the IANA Transition. We believe this is an
<br>
appropriate time for a discussion on whether the mechanisms meet
the
<br>
community’s expectations, or whether they would benefit from a
more
<br>
formal review and revision.
<br>

<br>
*3) At-Large/ ALAC Proposal*
<br>
<br>
<br>
_Working Title_: Shifting Paradigms: Multistakeholderism,
Geopolitics,
<br>
International Law, and New Internet Infrastructures.
<br>
<br>
_Objective/Aims_:
<br>
To explore the intersections of geopolitics, international law,
and
<br>
emerging internet infrastructures. Key topics include the
reshaping of
<br>
the multistakeholder model, implications for new internet
<br>
infrastructures, and data governance. The discussion will
reference the
<br>
2024 United States International Cyberspace & Digital Policy
Strategy,
<br>
EU's GDPR, the AI Act, and NIS2. This session is crucial for end
users,
<br>
regulators, policymakers, technologists, legal experts,
academics, and
<br>
other stakeholders in the Internet governance community. It
emphasizes
<br>
the link between infrastructure governance and data management
from the
<br>
end user perspective, highlighting the importance of
user-centric
<br>
approaches in shaping the future of internet infrastructures.
<br>
<br>
_Proposed Speakers_:
<br>
<br>
- Vint Cerf, Internet Pioneer
<br>
- Leon Sanchez, ICANN Board Member
<br>
- Jorge Cancio, Deputy Head of the International Relations
Team at
<br>
the Federal Office of Communications (OFCOM); GAC Switzerland
<br>
- Pari Esfandiari, ALAC/EURALO, Global TechnoPolitics Forum
<br>
- Susan Chalmers, Internet Policy Specialist, US Department
of
<br>
Commerce, NTIA
<br>
- Berna Akçalı Gür, Lecturer, CCLS Queen Mary University of
London,
<br>
Associate Research Fellow at UNU-CRIS Digital Cluster
<br>
- John Crain, ICANN SVP & Chief Technology Officer
<br>
<br>
_Moderator:_ Joanna Kulesza, ALAC Liaison to the GAC
<br>
<br>
_Scoping Questions_:
<br>
<br>
1. How should the multistakeholder model evolve to
accommodate new
<br>
internet infrastructures and the shift towards them in
governance?
<br>
2. What are the primary governance challenges posed by the
<br>
development of new internet infrastructures and governance
models?
<br>
3. How do existing regulatory frameworks like GDPR, the AI
Act, and
<br>
NIS2 address the challenges and opportunities presented by
new
<br>
internet infrastructures and respective governance models?
<br>
<br>
<br>
_Expected Outcomes_:
<br>
<br>
<br>
- A comprehensive understanding of the challenges and
opportunities
<br>
presented by new internet infrastructures and the regulatory
shift
<br>
towards them - MSM implications.
<br>
- Insight into how existing regulatory frameworks, including the
MSM,
<br>
can adapt to these emerging technologies.
<br>
- Enhanced dialogue among stakeholders on the future of
multistakeholder
<br>
Internet governance.

4. *RrSG Proposal*
<br>
<br>
**
<br>
<br>
RrSG Proposal for ICANN81 Plenary Session: The Registrant’s
Journey
<br>
<br>
Follow along with our hero Sophia Exemplar as she begins her
Registrant
<br>
Journey and encounters ICANN policies in the registration and
use of her
<br>
new domain name to create a fan website for the 1960s TV show
<br>
/Thunderbirds/. Along the way, she’ll encounter choices for
registration
<br>
data submission and publication, phishing emails and deceptive
notices,
<br>
and renewal reminders. She’ll consider moving to a new
registrar, or
<br>
even giving the domain name away to a friend, and more. Will
Sophia’s
<br>
journey be a success? We’ll poll the meeting attendees to help
her
<br>
decide what to do at each important step in the process.
<br>
<br>
/This session takes attendees through important aspects of the
domain
<br>
name lifecycle, covering registration data collection
requirements,
<br>
choices around data masking or publication, contacts sent to the
domain
<br>
owner, and processes including registrar transfer and change of
<br>
ownership data. Attendees will gain a greater understanding of
the
<br>
industry landscape and domain owner experience. /
