Registry Voluntary Commitments Plenary Session - Initial planning meeting and deadline to select panelist.

[Bruna Martins dos Santos]

Hey all,

Hope this email finds you well!

I am writing just to inform you that NCSG has joined the planning teams of
the two plenary sessions of ICANN70, and I highlight below important points
regarding the RVCs Plenary Session initial planning meeting:

*1. Registry Voluntary Commitments *
Main outcome would be to discuss enforceable mechanisms for contracted
parties to make commitments to the community, enforced by ICANN contract
compliance and so forth. Session will also present a short discussion on
PICs after the 2012 round and the Subpro process that took us to today's
moment of RVCs.

*Introduction* - History of PICs and RVCs (Jeff Neuman)

*Guiding questions*

   1.

   On the assumption that PICs/RVCs are the main mechanism for Contracted
   Parties to make enforceable commitments to the ICANN community (or public),
   are there limits on their enforceability, e.g. under the ICANN Bylaws?
   2.

   Are there specific challenges with enforcing PICs/RVCs as part of the
   Registry Agreement (i.e. binding contract that all gTLD registry operators
   enter into with ICANN)?
   1.

      Panelists should give real-life examples if possible.
      3.

   What are the education gaps that ICANN org, Contracted Parties, or other
   parties (if any) should be addressing prior to further gTLD expansion?
   4.

   How can enforcement of PICs/RVCs be framed to avoid the risk that ICANN
   org will need to make potential decisions on content?
   1.

      What registrant rights or interests need to be protected?
      2.

      What practical options can panelists suggest?


This session shall have discussants, and I have secured a slot for NCSG,
but I have the deadline until friday to inform staff about who our
discussant will be.

best,

--
