ICANN 73 - Get ready and request for inputs for our meeting with the board.

Fri Mar 4 12:11:37 EET 2022

For our Board meeting I was wondering if we could pose the following
questions:

1. In its Resolutions the Board does not mention the impact that its
decision might have on human rights in general. What do you think about the
possibility of adding what impact if any each resolution you pass might
have on rights? We give you an example. You raised concerns about
recommendation number 12, of EPDP on WHOIS which talked about deleting the
organization field for the registrars. You raised issues with that and the
matter was resolved later on through the GNSO small team. But did you also
consider if the issue you raised with deleting the organization field might
have some impact on registrant's rights?

2. In your resolutions about WHOIS you sometimes mention that WHOIS data is
to identify the registrants. You have even gone so far to argue that
deletion of data can lead to not identifying the registrant and that might
in global public interest and ICANN mission. Can we clarify that WHOIS is
not to identify registrants but to actually provide contactability. Does
the Board agree with that? We would like to prevent this wrong narrative
that WHOIS is to identify the domain name registrant. It is not in ICANN
mission to identify domain name registrants.

See: "Whereas, the ICANN Board chose not to adopt implementation advice
2(b) of Recommendation 12, given that the deletion of the contents in the
organization field might result in the loss of identifying information
about who the registrant is and might not be consistent with ICANN's
mission or in the global public interest." Board resolution February 2022,
https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2022-02-24-en#2.b

3. We (the community) gave recommendations in WS jurisdiction around almost
4 years ago to explore receiving an OFAC license. That has not been done to
this day. Is the new round of gTLD gonna be closed to all sanctioned
countries?

4. What structures do you have in place to follow the Bylaws consistently
in the future? In some IRP panel Declarations we see that they are of the
opinion that in some instances the Board did not follow the Bylaws.
(especially in delegation of .NewgTLDs). What structures do you have now in
place to follow the Bylaws in the future? (other than the accountability
mechanisms that the community has)

Pick or choose as you see appropriate.
