[PC-NCSG] public comments/issues planning/priortization

Thu Aug 6 15:07:11 EEST 2015

Hi,

If there is a need to respond to the open public comment periods regarding board actions on translation/transliteration and the policy and implementation WG recommendations, I could try to whip something brief up on them. At first glance, the action proposed from the board on both seems to be consistent with the GNSO WG(s) recommendations, so my impression is just a comment supporting the board adopting them.

I also expect to contribute to the comment on the next gen gTLD RDS comment soon. Although there may be a few suggestion missing from that issues report, it is a largely good one as far as I can tell.

Finally, I think it is important to consider the comment on the suggested removal of searchable WHOIS service from the .sharp agreement. I haven?t gone through this as thoroughly as I plan to yet, but I do have some thoughts so far. I don?t believe it is appropriate for the ICANN board to make changes to contractual obligations on contracted parties developed through consensus policies without this going through the GNSO. There may be some substantive issues to the policies that may require revision, but from a procedural perspective, I have a problem with this. This isn?t the first time the ICANN board suggest action to relieve BRG registries from obligations in the RA without going through the GNSO?s PDP.

Thanks.

Amr
