From egmorris1 Thu Oct 1 17:28:53 2015 From: egmorris1 (Edward Morris) Date: Thu, 1 Oct 2015 15:28:53 +0100 Subject: [PC-NCSG] Arguments Rejected Message-ID: At their meeting on Monday the Board rejected our arguments that incorporating RPM's from the new GTLD program into the .TRAVEL, .CAT and .PRO renewal agreements constituted policymaking by contract; that is, that ICANN has gone around the PDP process and made these new mechanisms (for example, the URS) de facto consensus policies. Thanks to everyone who worked with me in Buenos Aires to draft our sadly unsuccessful public comments on these renewals. In other news, the Board chose Panama City as the host of next summers ICANN meeting. With the fall meeting in Puerto Rico that means our Meetings for next year will be held in two locations 1,100 miles from each other. London and Dublin, the sites for the next and last European meetings, are about 290 miles from each other. That is more diverse than our last two Latin American meetings prior to Panama City, both of which were held in Buenos Aires. To the extent ICANN's Meeting strategy is part of ICANN's global outreach strategy I would suggest it needs some work.

It would appear to me that the only way to tackle this problem would be to request an issues report on the URS use and hopefully have it rejected for use in legacy pdp's. If we ignore this issue and allow ICANN to continue to create de facto consensus policies by contract the role and position of the GNSO as the creator of consensus policies will be severely damaged. I would appreciate thoughts of others of ways to turn back this staff encroachment on fundamental rights of the GNSO. We could go the Reconsideration / CEP/ IRP route, perhaps in association with others, but until that last costly option I'm not sure we would have a chance of success. An Ombudsman's complaint is also something we could consider. Thoughts?

At least the board will have to explain their rationale in writing (or rather Jones Day will write it for them and sign their name). And with two sides usually warring on the same side of this issue, it could get more serious consideration than the usual rubber stamp denial one gets from ICANN's Recon Requests. They need to explain this, in writing, on the website, where it can be subject to scrutiny.

Public comments were overwhelmingly against this power grab (only Donuts and the IPC supported it) yet the Board did it anyway. It's not just URS: the Trademark Post-Delegation Dispute Resolution Procedure and the Public Interest Commitments Dispute Resolution Procedure are now all part of the legacy renewal agreements. We're all busy. If people want to file a Recon I'm happy to help, although I doubt it would have any real effect. An Issues Report quite possibly could legitimize this power grab but it's all I can think of that we can do that might make things a bit better. Open to suggestions: I know what I'd do if the proposed reforms actually be one reality but not quite sure we currently have enough tools at our disposal.

If we're going to do the Reconsideration it can't wait until Dublin. We have 14 days to file from the date we became aware of the Board action. I wouldn't press it: be nice to get it in by October 12th, two weeks from the date of the Board meeting. I guess we wait to hear from Phil? We also have some changes in Board composition coming.

I have no knowledge of the URS ever going through the GNSO?s PDP. There is a summary of the chronological development of the URS over 2012/2013 here: http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/urs. This may be missing some details, but I am generally unfamiliar with a GNSO PDP discussing the URS, or any GNSO Council motion recommending that the ICANN board adopt the URS for new or legacy gTLDs. If there was a GNSO process that discussed this, can somebody please point me in the right direction? Thanks.

I ask, because I am tempted to vote for Heather. Her candidate statement almost seems tailored to impress NC folks, and garner our votes. Still?, I?m thinking that if we will ever be able to experiment with a chair from the NCPH, this might be a good time. Heather is as likeable an IPC person as we will probably get for a job like this one. I?m willing to give her a chance for a year, but I (as do we all) still have time to decide. Would be grateful for more thoughts on this. Thanks.

I was familiar with the work of the STI, but had two misperceptions about it that are now clearer to me: 1. I had thought that the STI only worked on the specifics of the TMCH, not the URS. Going over the final report of the STI (http://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/sti/sti-wt-recommendations-11dec09-en.pdf), I now see that I was mistaken about this. 2. I thought the STI was an ad-hoc group created by the ICANN board. Again, I was wrong about this. It was a (non-PDP) review team chartered by the GNSO Council. Still?, I would still say that despite the multistakeholder representation in the STI, it would not be entirely accurate to say that URS went through the proper GNSO PDP as outlined in the operating procedures and ICANN bylaws to develop Consensus Policy (capital C and P). As far as I can tell, there are clear differences between the two processes, with the traditional GNSO process allowing for broader participation than was permitted in the STI, as well as more rounds of public comments along the process from issue scoping to development of the final recommendations by the working group. The process followed by the working group is described in detail in the STI report, as well as here: http://gnso.icann.org/en/group-activities/inactive/2010/sti. Thanks. Amr PS: If there was no URS today, I don?t believe the URS would be suitable for the now formal Expedited Policy Development Process (EPDP). It wouldn?t qualify for this process IMHO, and would need to go through a traditional PDP. > On Oct 9, 2015, at 8:35 PM, Kathy Kleiman wrote: > > Hi Amr and All, > It did.

Overall, the history of the STI is based on the IRT (a truly unauthorized group to which we were responding), and the process of creating the new rules of the URS and STI. NCUC stopped the IRT work in a huge showdown at the ICANN Sydney meeting - and we said that ICANN could not move forward with IRT recommendations until the IRT "recommendations" ran through the GNSO. Otherwise, the IRT work would have been incorporated into the Applicant Guidebook wholehog. Konstantinos, Robin, Wendy and I were on the STI Team. Happy to delve into more histories and past work. Was the PDP in full form prior to full SGs??

For my part, I would speak for James. He has been around for a long time in the ICANN world and deeply involved on many issues. I worked with him side by side for 18 months slogging through the Whois Review Team. When no one else stood with me on privacy, on the rights of registrants, on the concerns for registrant safety, privacy and data protection rights, he did. We are now on the Proxy-Privacy Accreditation Working Group together (as you and David are too, Amr), along with a very strong group of Registrars who include Graeme, Volker, Luc, Darcy, Chris Pelling and more. James Gannon, Stephanie and I are working very closely with them, pushing back against the 20+ IPC representations who come back again and again and again to fight for issues they have lost before and seem to have no end of energy to fight for one more time. I agree that Heather may be a wonderful individual, but the issues coming up on UDRP Review and WHOIS2 have never been bigger or more deadly for the interests of noncommercial registrants. We know these parties, we know how they have worked through the years, and who has manipulated what. The same parties are in play now; I suggest history IS an indicator of future action. James Bladel has my vote, if I had a vote, for his integrity, credibility, honestly and support of issues important to his registrar, registrars generally and registrants worldwide. I would suggest that this is the time to strengthen our good relationships with registrars. It is a wonderful thing to have strong, active allies - and on the issues ahead, it will be critical and life-saving.

I will also add that I have a lot of faith in James when it comes to standing up to the ICANN board and GAC in any attempts to circumvent GNSO processes to create gTLD policy. These instances are usually in favour of IP interests, so I can?t say I have the same level of confidence in an IPC member doing the same. This, IMHO, is one of the key characteristics we need while considering voting for a GNSO Council Chair. Thanks for the helpful thoughts, Kathy. Keep ?em coming.

Yes, they can be as neutral as anyone can be, but their POV is essentially aligned with their employer. I have co-chaired a group with James and always valued his essentially commercial POV, though he behaved with neutrality. I also value the fact that one candidate is an academic. There are several axis along which they will need to make decision IP & Expression, Commercial & Non commercial, US centric & Global, Contracted party & Non Contracted party &c. I also agree with the idea of building alliances. And the fact that we can work in cooperation with our CSG sister SG on issues of common interest is a really important consideration for me in this time of accountability. There are many considerations the voters will need to take into account. It is excellent we have two good choices for the incoming council to choose between. avri On 10-Oct-15 11:35, Amr Elsadr wrote: > Hi Kathy, > > Completely agree with you on all counts.

While any group can call itself a group, and decide how it wants to govern itself, take stands on things, and even undertake projects there are always several complications. The first has to do with finances. The group cannot, as a group, be the recipient of financing from most sources. It could sell lemonade and cupcakes but..that is a slow road to finances, and in some countries it cannot even have a bank account. If it has project aspirations it has to work with a registered group that has a similar mandate and can receive funding. Another issue is liability. Groups I know have recently terminated their not-for-profit charters because liability insurance and growing financial accountability costs were bigger than their modest annual budgets. In Canada if a group (incorporated or not) runs afoul of tax laws the revenue agency will target the deeper pocketed individuals [I am safe there :-) ] in the governance structures, so it needs liability insurance. Additionally, there are emerging clauses in multilateral agreements like the TTP (Trans-Pacific Partnership), that are making volunteer groups harder to sustain. I would not be surprised if down the road those agreements pose problems for ICANN's multistakeholder model. There are a number of issues around what is the association, what constitutes membership, and the relationship between membership and organizational governance. There are some very good not-for-profit lawyers coming to Dublin, at ICANN's expense. Might want to corner them over a beer and pepper them with questions around this.

I think she would be a fair chair, and I think she has tried hard to present herself as someone who does not fit within the narrow stereotype of an IPC trademark lawyer driven only by clients interests. She is smart, likeable, and a reasonable person. That said, I still think James is a far stronger candidate. Note how Heather repeatedly mentions the CWG on Country and Territory Names - that is essentially because it is the only major policy work she has taken a major role in. James by contrast has a very long history of involvement in a very wide range of GNSO work, and I think probably knows the GNSO policy process as well as anyone actively involved. And I think James will be a far stronger advocate for the GNSO vs the GAC, as he already has been. Plus we have a number of crucial privacy relevant policy processes coming up in the next year, and we know James will be a strong advocate for privacy where appropriate (as he consistently has been this year). So while I have no inclination to ?vote against? Heather, I still think I have likely to vote for James. To be convinced otherwise, I?d really need to hear arguments against James as a very strong candidate - so far, the only one I?ve really heard is that if he was chair he is likely to take a less strong advocacy role himself.

There may be some changes in grammar and the like but substantially this is likely to be what we'd hope to submit. As the deadline for submission is tomorrow comments / approval is requested. The base issue at hand is staff imposing new gTLD RPM's on legacy gTLD's through newel agreements. This is de facto development of consensus policy through contract by staff rather than through a properly constituted pop. As we've previously discussed on list this needs to be opposed if the GNSO hopes to maintain its current role. We and the BC certainly do not share common positions on the substantive issue involved here; that is, the BC would be very happy to have the new RPM's applied to legacy gTLD's while that traditionally has not been our position. It's been a bit of a challenge to get language acceptable to both in this regard as Phil head some specific instructions but hopefully we've done do. I'll turn this over to our esteemed Chair and PC head honcho to see how / if we can sign off on this. Again, the submission deadline is tomorrow so this needs to get done pronto. It's rare to get a CSG member to oppose ip expansion, even on a procedural basis, so I hope we can take advantage of this opportunity.

I will not object to NCSG being one of the submitters of this RR, however, I am a little puzzled. This RR seems less to me like an objection on bypassing due process provided by the the GNSO?s PDP (and also required by ICANN?s bylaws), and more like a request to ICANN to disclose correspondence with the registries to ensure that the inclusion of of the RPMs during RA renewals was a result of ?even-handed bilateral negotiations?. Am I reading this incorrectly? I also want to point something out regarding some of the references to the principles in the Policy and Implementation (P&I) WG final report made on page 4 of the draft RR. These principles were part of the P&I WG final report and recommendations, which the GNSO Council adopted. The ICANN board, however, did not adopt the principles recommended by the WG. It only approved the creation of the new processes that the WG came up with. In the absence of these principles, the new processes are not going to serve their truly intended purposes. Furthermore, regardless of the new processes, these principles are very relevant to the traditional PDP, and would be a great point to make in this RR, had they actually been adopted. Not sure if this changes anything, but thought I should point it out. Thanks again for the work you?ve done on this RR, and generally on this topic over the past few months.

It can be found here: https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/reconsideration-15-19-icann-business-c onstituency-ncsg-2015-10-13-en I want to thank everyone for your help and support on this, both in Buenos Aires with the public comments and on this Reconsideration Request itself. I recognise the submitted Reconsideration Request is rather long, the inevitable result of having Phil and I do something like this, and is a result of a lot of compromise and a lot of back and forth. Amr was certainly correct in pointing out several of the defects of the Request: it would be a much different document if we had done one independently. Nevertheless, I do believe we are going to force the Board to respond to these core concerns: 1. That staff usurped the GNSO policy development process n the .CAT, .TRAVEL and.PRO renewals, 2. That the Board let them do so without even admonishing staff for using the new RPM's as the starting point for contractual negotiations on renewals of legacy gTLD's, and 3. That the Board was derelict in not investigating whether the renewal contracts were truly the result of even handed bilateral negotiations. I should note that some of what appears to be diversions within the Request actually represent some positioning we had to do so that: 1. both groups had standing to file the Request and 2. the Request met other qualifications for consideration. The Board will only reconsider it's decision under certain specified conditions. You can't simply ask them to think again about what they did, despite the mechanisms name. We shouldn't have any problem getting this accepted. I want to thank both Phil Corwin and Steve DelBianco of the BC for their professionalism and fine work in this matter. There were things in this Request their members were not comfortable with or happy about. We tried to work together to address some of those concerns but in some cases we weren't able to find an answer, and to their credit Phil and Steve did not lose sight of why we were doing this together. A RR filed by the commercial and noncommercial communities together is far more powerful than separate RR's done by each group. When we can work with other groups without sacrificing our core principles and beliefs I do believe it's in our interest and in the interest of our members to do so. Indeed, the industry press seems a bit bemused by our joint filing: http://domainincite.com/19450-odd-couple-coalition-wants-urs-deleted-from-le gacy-gtld-contracts Safe travels to all heading for Dublin.

Maryam has sent remote participation details in a separate email. This is the suggested agenda for today?s meeting: 1. Discussion of the agenda of the GNSO Council public meeting on Wednesday, October 21st (https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocouncilmeetings/Agenda+21+October+2015). There will be two motions on Wednesday?s agenda: A. Adoption of Final Report from the Data & Metrics for Policy Making Working Group (15 minutes) This Working Group was chartered by the GNSO Council in January 2014 to explore the development of reporting and metrics processes and/or appropriate standardized methodologies that can better inform fact-based policy development and decision making. The WG published its Initial Report for public comment on 29 May 2015, and submitted a Final Report to the GNSO Council on 9 October that took into account the public comments received. Here the Council will discuss the WG?s recommendations, and vote on whether or not to adopt the Final Report as submitted. Presentation of the motion (Volker Greimann) Discussion Council Vote (threshold: simple majority) B. Adoption of Next Generation gTLD Registration Directory Services (RDS) to Replace WHOIS PDP WG Charter (15 minutes) In November 2012 the ICANN Board requested an Issue Report on the purpose of collecting and maintaining gTLD registration data, and on solutions to improve accuracy and access to gTLD registration data, as part of a Board-initiated GNSO Policy Development Process (PDP). Concurrently, the Board directed the launch of a new effort to redefine the purpose of collecting, maintaining and providing access to gTLD registration data, and to consider safeguards for protecting data, as a foundation for new gTLD policy and contractual negotiations, as appropriate. In June 2014 the Expert Working Group convened as a result of the Board resolution published its Final Report. In April 2015 a group comprising Board and GNSO Council members finalized a proposed Process Framework to guide the work of the PDP. In July 2015 an updated Preliminary Issue Report was published at the Board?s request for public comment, following which a Final Issue Report taking into account public comments received was prepared and submitted to the GNSO Council on 7 October 2015 (see http://whois.icann.org/sites/default/files/files/final-issue-report-next-generation-rds-07oct15-en.pdf). Here the Council will review the Final Issue Report and vote to approve the charter for the Working Group to be formed to conduct this Board-initiated PDP. Presentation of the motion (Susan Kawaguchi) Discussion Council Vote (threshold: an affirmative vote of more than one-third (1/3) of each House or more than two-thirds (2/3) of one House) 2. Discussion of topics for the NCSG/ICANN Board meeting: A. Developing countries and new gTLD and/or DNS industry B. Human rights C. Public Interest Suggestions for other topics may be made here, on-list, or during the meeting later today. Thanks.

Discussion of the agenda of the GNSO Council public meeting on Wednesday, October 21st (https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocouncilmeetings/Agenda+21+October+2015). There will be two motions on Wednesday?s agenda: A. Adoption of Final Report from the Data & Metrics for Policy Making Working Group (15 minutes) This Working Group was chartered by the GNSO Council in January 2014 to explore the development of reporting and metrics processes and/or appropriate standardized methodologies that can better inform fact-based policy development and decision making. The WG published its Initial Report for public comment on 29 May 2015, and submitted a Final Report to the GNSO Council on 9 October that took into account the public comments received. Here the Council will discuss the WG?s recommendations, and vote on whether or not to adopt the Final Report as submitted. Presentation of the motion (Volker Greimann) Discussion Council Vote (threshold: simple majority) B. Adoption of Next Generation gTLD Registration Directory Services (RDS) to Replace WHOIS PDP WG Charter (15 minutes) In November 2012 the ICANN Board requested an Issue Report on the purpose of collecting and maintaining gTLD registration data, and on solutions to improve accuracy and access to gTLD registration data, as part of a Board-initiated GNSO Policy Development Process (PDP). Concurrently, the Board directed the launch of a new effort to redefine the purpose of collecting, maintaining and providing access to gTLD registration data, and to consider safeguards for protecting data, as a foundation for new gTLD policy and contractual negotiations, as appropriate. In June 2014 the Expert Working Group convened as a result of the Board resolution published its Final Report. In April 2015 a group comprising Board and GNSO Council members finalized a proposed Process Framework to guide the work of the PDP. In July 2015 an updated Preliminary Issue Report was published at the Board?s request for public comment, following which a Final Issue Report taking into account public comments received was prepared and submitted to the GNSO Council on 7 October 2015 (see http://whois.icann.org/sites/default/files/files/final-issue-report-next-generation-rds-07oct15-en.pdf). Here the Council will review the Final Issue Report and vote to approve the charter for the Working Group to be formed to conduct this Board-initiated PDP. Presentation of the motion (Susan Kawaguchi) Discussion Council Vote (threshold: an affirmative vote of more than one-third (1/3) of each House or more than two-thirds (2/3) of one House) 2. Discussion of topics for the NCSG/ICANN Board meeting: A. Developing countries and new gTLD and/or DNS industry B. Human rights C.

Adoption of Next Generation gTLD Registration Directory Services (RDS) to Replace WHOIS PDP WG Charter (15 minutes) > In November 2012 the ICANN Board requested an Issue Report on the purpose of collecting and maintaining gTLD registration data, and on solutions to improve accuracy and access to gTLD registration data, as part of a Board-initiated GNSO Policy Development Process (PDP). Concurrently, the Board directed the launch of a new effort to redefine the purpose of collecting, maintaining and providing access to gTLD registration data, and to consider safeguards for protecting data, as a foundation for new gTLD policy and contractual negotiations, as appropriate. In June 2014 the Expert Working Group convened as a result of the Board resolution published its Final Report. In April 2015 a group comprising Board and GNSO Council members finalized a proposed Process Framework to guide the work of the PDP. In July 2015 an updated Preliminary Issue Report was published at the Board?s request for public comment, following which a Final Issue Report taking into account public comments received was prepared and submitted to the GNSO Council on 7 October 2015 (see http://whois.icann.org/sites/default/files/files/final-issue-report-next-generation-rds-07oct15-en.pdf). Here the Council will review the Final Issue Report and vote to approve the charter for the Working Group to be formed to conduct this Board-initiated PDP. > Presentation of the motion (Susan Kawaguchi) > Discussion > Council Vote (threshold: an affirmative vote of more than one-third (1/3) of each House or more than two-thirds (2/3) of one House) > > 2.

For the intellectual property community, "consumer" means those purchasing their goods and services from websites. For them, "consumer trust" is inextricably tied to the increased protection of trademarks and copyrights (as "identifiers" to consumers of their goods). We (NCSG) has often used the word "consumer" as those who purchase domain names -- namely Registrants. "Consumers" are the people who buy and sell the goods provided by Registries and Registrars. These consumers/registrants (us!) need fair policies for domain name registrations, transfers, revocations -- all policies for gTLDs created by and through ICANN. For better or worse, those representing these two types of "consumers" often clash. I think it is key that NCSG have a really good person on this Review Team.

I am a fan of Hawktalk, Chris Pounder's blog at http://amberhawk.typepad.com/ [full disclosure, Chris is a colleague whom I connect with for international work]. Here are two short analyses of recent ECJ decisions; the first is the Safe Harbor case and the second is also, I would suggest, extremely relevant to ICANN wrt European personal data. cheers Stephanie 06/10/2015 Understanding Safe Harbor, Schrems v Facebook in less than 300 words Safe Harbor is now defunct because the European Court of Justice (ECJ) found the following: (a) There is no general privacy law or other measures enacted in the USA that shows the USA offers "an adequate level of protection" for personal data relating to European data subjects; (b) Public law enforcement authorities which obtain personal data from organisations in Safe Harbor are not obliged to follow the Safe Harbor rules after disclosure; (c) Some USA law enforcement agencies can gain access to personal data in Safe Harbor without having any law that legitimises their access; and (d) The European Commission knew all the above and knew that personal data were being possibly used for incompatible and disproportionate purposes by law enforcement agencies. If you think of Article 8(2) of the Human Rights Convention, you will "get" the ECJ Judgment immediately. This Article states that /?There shall be no interference by a public authority with the exercise of this right except such as is in accordance with the law and is necessary in a democratic society in the interests of national security, public safety or the economic well-being of the country, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, or for the protection of the rights and freedoms of others?/ As Snowden leaks showed, there is no law legitimising the interference by the National Security Agencies, so one does not know whether any interference on their part is necessary. Safe Harbor is unsafe because such agencies in the USA can access personal data without due process, and because the USA has no law that limits the use of personal data by them. Perhaps the time has come is not for a revamped Safe Harbor (as is promised), but for the USA to adopt a Federal Data Protection Law. *References* /Schrems v Facebook: Case C 362/14 /http://curia.europa.eu/juris/document/document.jsf?text=&docid=169195&pageIndex=0&doclang=en&mode=req&dir=&occ=first&part=1&cid=81678 The above will be discussed at our all day *UPDATE* session (*Oct 19th; London; ?225*). Also coming up are our *Data Protection Practitioner* courses leading to the BCS Qualification in *Leeds* (starting October 13th) and *Edinburgh* (starting 2nd Nov). All details on www.amberhawk.com . Posted at 10:23 PM in Data Protection , News , Other Information Law | Permalink | Comments (1) 02/10/2015 ECJ bombshell! No fair processing notice? No processing. I think the European Court of Justice (ECJ) has just issued a judgement which has the potential to be more important than Max Schrems v Facebook (due on October 6 next week). The ECJ has just concluded that Articles 10, 11 (the fair processing requirements of Directive 95/45/EC) and Article 13 (includes the exemptions from the need to provide a fair processing notice) *must* be interpreted as precluding national measures which allow a public administrative body in a Member State to disclose personal data to another public administrative body for their subsequent processing, without the data subjects being informed of that disclosure and processing. This judgment seems to imply that if a fair processing notice does not describe the purpose of the processing */and/* there is no exemption from the fair processing obligation then a data controller should not process personal data for that purpose! Certainly, Government should not introduce data sharing legislation and ignore the fairness obligations under the Act (unless there is no applicable exemption from the fairness obligations). This is the position irrespective of an Article 7 criterion (i.e. a Schedule 2 ground in the UK Act) for the processing of personal data. The Court agreed with the Advocate General that the requirement to inform the data subjects about the processing of their personal data is important since it affects the exercise by the data subjects of their right of access to, and right to rectify, the personal data being processed (in Article 12 of Directive 95/46), and their right to object to the processing of those data (in Article 14 of the Directive). According to the Court, it follows that the fair processing requirements of personal data as laid out in Article 6 of Directive 95/46/EC (i.e. the First Principle of the UK DP Act) ?/requires a public administrative body to inform the data subjects of the transfer of those data to another public administrative body for the purpose of their processing by the latter in its capacity as recipient of those data/?. The Court rejected the idea that because there was a law that allows the disclosure, then there was no need to provide a fair processing notice. The Court stated that only reason why one cannot provide a fair processing notice is when there is an exemption from the obligation consistent with the conditions laid down in Article 13 of Directive 95/46/EC (which permits Member States to derogate from fairness obligations flowing from Article 10). That is why ?/Articles 10, 11 and 13 of Directive 95/46 must be interpreted as precluding national measures, such as those at issue in the main proceedings, which allow a public administrative body of a Member State to transfer personal data to another public administrative body and their subsequent processing/, */without the data subjects having been informed of that transfer or processing/*? (my emphasis). Note that this judgment can be overturned if the Council of Minister?s version of Article 21 of the General Data Protection Regulation prevails. This allows Member State law to introduce an exemption from the fair processing notice with respect to ?/important objectives of general public interests of the Union or of a Member State/?. As any government can argue that the reason for enacting /any/ /legislation/ is to meet ?/important objectives of general public interests?, /then the Article 21 exception proposed by /any/ Member State legislation can neuter this new ECJ Judgment. This is the Third ECJ judgement that the Council of Minister?s version of the Regulation would overturn; it is yet another indication that the Directive 95/46/EC might offer better protection to data subjects than the Regulation. *References* Case C-201/14 /Smaranda Bara and Others v Pre?edintele Casei Na?ionale de Asigur?ri de S?n?tate and Others/: http://curia.europa.eu/juris/liste.jsf?num=C-201/14 (Sadly the English version of the Advocate General?s view is not available yet; I would really like to see what it says). The above will be discussed at our all day *UPDATE* session (*Oct 19th; London; ?225*). Also coming up are our *Data Protection Practitioner* courses leading to the BCS Qualification in *Leeds* (starting October 13th) and *Edinburgh* (starting 2nd Nov). All details on www.amberhawk.com . My analysis of Article 21, and the other exemptions promoted in the Council of Minister?s version of Regulation, shows that if this text prevails the Regulation will weaken protection for data subjects. See end of http://amberhawk.typepad.com/amberhawk/2015/08/councils-exceptions-from-the-data-protection-regulation-degrade-the-privacy-protection-below-directive-9546ec.html.

I got the timing wrong and thought it was today (NZ time) Sorry about that Joy -----Original Message----- From: NCSG-Discuss [mailto:NCSG-DISCUSS at LISTSERV.SYR.EDU] On Behalf Of Amr Elsadr Sent: Sunday, 18 October 2015 11:39 p.m. To: NCSG-DISCUSS at LISTSERV.SYR.EDU Subject: Agenda for the NCSG Policy Committee Meeting - Sunday, October 18th 2015 Hi, The NCSG Policy Committee will be meeting in Dublin today at 16:30 local time in Wicklow MR4. Maryam has sent remote participation details in a separate email. This is the suggested agenda for today?s meeting: 1. Discussion of the agenda of the GNSO Council public meeting on Wednesday, October 21st (https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocouncilmeetings/Agenda+21+October+2015). There will be two motions on Wednesday?s agenda: A. Adoption of Final Report from the Data & Metrics for Policy Making Working Group (15 minutes) This Working Group was chartered by the GNSO Council in January 2014 to explore the development of reporting and metrics processes and/or appropriate standardized methodologies that can better inform fact-based policy development and decision making. The WG published its Initial Report for public comment on 29 May 2015, and submitted a Final Report to the GNSO Council on 9 October that took into account the public comments received. Here the Council will discuss the WG?s recommendations, and vote on whether or not to adopt the Final Report as submitted. Presentation of the motion (Volker Greimann) Discussion Council Vote (threshold: simple majority) B. Adoption of Next Generation gTLD Registration Directory Services (RDS) to Replace WHOIS PDP WG Charter (15 minutes) In November 2012 the ICANN Board requested an Issue Report on the purpose of collecting and maintaining gTLD registration data, and on solutions to improve accuracy and access to gTLD registration data, as part of a Board-initiated GNSO Policy Development Process (PDP). Concurrently, the Board directed the launch of a new effort to redefine the purpose of collecting, maintaining and providing access to gTLD registration data, and to consider safeguards for protecting data, as a foundation for new gTLD policy and contractual negotiations, as appropriate. In June 2014 the Expert Working Group convened as a result of the Board resolution published its Final Report. In April 2015 a group comprising Board and GNSO Council members finalized a proposed Process Framework to guide the work of the PDP. In July 2015 an updated Preliminary Issue Report was published at the Board?s request for public comment, following which a Final Issue Report taking into account public comments received was prepared and submitted to the GNSO Council on 7 October 2015 (see http://whois.icann.org/sites/default/files/files/final-issue-report-next-generation-rds-07oct15-en.pdf). Here the Council will review the Final Issue Report and vote to approve the charter for the Working Group to be formed to conduct this Board-initiated PDP. Presentation of the motion (Susan Kawaguchi) Discussion Council Vote (threshold: an affirmative vote of more than one-third (1/3) of each House or more than two-thirds (2/3) of one House) 2. Discussion of topics for the NCSG/ICANN Board meeting: A. Developing countries and new gTLD and/or DNS industry B. Human rights C. Public Interest Suggestions for other topics may be made here, on-list, or during the meeting later today. Thanks.

I watched the Registrar/Registry agreement with the Board today and they read a strong statement asked ICANN to stay out of content. Apparently the IPC presented a letter to the Board today asking ICANN to get much more involved in content issues -- asking for "voluntary standards" but "with teeth" (this is 2nd hand as I have not seen the letter). But voluntary standards with teeth mean binding commitments - and outside the PDPs. I don't know if our call on content with Alan Grogan, ICANN's compliance officer, ever took place. But this would be a good time for us to add to our noncommercial voices to the call for ICANN to stay out of content -- and support ICANN. Because Fadi has said, and said again in today's session, that ICANN should stay out of it too. If someone takes the lead, I am happy to help in the background. It could be a short, but very important, point.

Best, Rafik ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Michele Neylon - Blacknight" Date: Oct 20, 2015 5:08 PM Subject: Registrars + Registries To: "Stephanie Perrin" , "Rafik Dammak" < rafik.dammak at gmail.com> Cc: Here you go: We are aware that earlier today the IPC asked the CEO and the Board to have ICANN play a greater role in content regulation. The IPC suggested that ICANN leverage its contractual compliance powers to require registries and registrars to adopt and implement so-called voluntary standards. The Registries and Registrars Stakeholder Groups strongly urge the Board to not become involved in this debate. Our contracts are with ICANN. ICANN?s exercise of its contractual compliance powers as requested by the IPC would render such standards anything but voluntary. A statement that there needs to be teeth behind ?voluntary standards?, particularly when made by the party involved in a contract, means they are no longer voluntary. Moreover, many of the terms requested by the IPC could in some cases remove legal protections provided to registries and registrars under relevant national safe harbor laws. Finally, the IPC is essentially seeking rights from ICANN that they have been unable to secure from legislatures globally. We understand that ICANN?s Board faces pressure from specific interest group, but urge ICANN?s Board not to put ICANN staff or the community in the position of content arbiters. It is outside the remit of this organization and creates a slippery slope. We believe that ICANN compliance should rightly be involved in working to see that all registrars should respond to requests under RAA section 3.18. While the IP Community may not always be satisfied with every response they receive, the vast majority of submissions are responded to and a significant portion of those requests are resolved to satisfaction. Registrars who do not respond to validly formed submissions should be pursued. While we recognize that groups such as the IPC have a right to bring any matter they desire to the Board and staff, we would welcome a dialog with them and would request that the Board feel free to advise them to approach us directly, especially on matters that are outside the remit of ICANN. -- Mr Michele Neylon Blacknight Solutions Hosting, Colocation & Domains http://www.blacknight.host/ http://blog.blacknight.com/ http://ceo.hosting/ Intl. +353 (0) 59 9183072 Direct Dial: +353 (0)59 9183090 ------------------------------- Blacknight Internet Solutions Ltd, Unit 12A,Barrowside Business Park,Sleaty Road,Graiguecullen,Carlow,Ireland Company No.: 370845 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

ICANN's contract-enforcement obligations should be limited to terms that "ensure the stable and secure operation of the Internet's unique identifier systems." (possibly) We are happy to work with other parties, outside of ICANN's contractual umbrella, on measures to improve abuse reporting and promote consistent good practices around the termination or disabling of abusive domain registrations. Would anyone want to improve and/or present that? --Wendy On 10/20/2015 12:14 PM, Rafik Dammak wrote: > Hi Kathy. > > We had the discussion with Allen today at ncsg session today. > Recordings should be available soon. > > Best, > > Rafik > On Oct 20, 2015 4:40 PM, "Kathy Kleiman" wrote: > >> +1 Matthew.

Since the board and Fadi have said, repeatedly, that content regulation is outside ICANN's remit, NCSG will have to frame a content regulation question in a way that addresses something that ICANN already does that is already linked to the regulation of content. Unless there is a "smoking gun" of an example here, the question will simply be answered with "Outside our remit!". Next question. Am I missing something here? Sam L.

I have no objection to anyone speaking to the candidates, but why do you object to us speaking among ourselves as a group?

I have no problem if you sent out individual email invites or personally asked people to come together to talk about things or to lobby for your candidate. It is not appropriate to use this list to do so given your position as PC Chair.

You would prefer that we don?t coordinate among ourselves as a group, but are in favour of individual one-on-one interaction? I?m also not sure why you think the purpose is to lobby for the candidate of my preference. My concern is specifically that you have taken the time to lobby for a candidate, while we have not held a group discussion about this pointing out all the perspectives on this topic. I believe that all views should be shared, and I also believe that this is part of the duty of the PC chair. The fact that you have chosen not to participate puts us in a position where your view will not be presented by you. I will not withdraw the invitation on this basis. Although, in my individual capacity, I am in favour of James chairing the GNSO Council, I hope you will at least acknowledge that as PC Chair, I have encouraged discussion on this list of Heather?s candidacy following her call with us, and the publication of her candidate statement. However, if you believe that I am in anyway abusing my role as PC Chair, I would encourage you to express these views, not only on this list, but perhaps on NCSG-DISCUSS? I would like to ask you this, though. Would it make you feel better if we took minutes of our discussion? I do admit that you have a point on the meeting not being recorded, but there are other means by which we can document what folks say. I will make sure that this is done. Thoughts? Thanks.

Hurt feelings are not, quite frankly, appropriate at this level. You lose, no big deal. We are all adults. 3. Let us take our time and not be rushed into anything.

The world I come from is very different than the world most of you come from and that's pretty obvious. I should have considered that. I would respectfully suggest, though, for the next round you only agree to nominate a candidate the NCSG will likely vote for. I guess people had different perspectives about how willing they were to vote for an IPC candidate against a decent CPH candidate. I can understand what this group was trying to do but I also understand why others may feel nomination entails some future obligation, even if it was not explicitly told to them or even if it was stressed to them that was the case.

It is particularly unfortunate that this scenario occurred at a time when ICANN is in the global spotlight. Throughout the election process, the common theme has been an agreement amongst all Councilors that either candidate would have made a competent and effective GNSO Chair. However, the qualifications of both candidates were ultimately disregarded. In the interests of stability and continuity we have selected Volker Greimann to continue to serve as the Contracted Party House Vice-Chair during this interim period. We ask ICANN Staff to consider repurposing Friday's scheduled Council Development Session to instead allow for a facilitated discussion amongst GNSO community leaders to work within the process to arrive at a mutually satisfactory and expeditious result, that will enable the Council focus on the important work ahead.

If tomorrow?s full-day induction workshop of new councillors is repurposed for discussing this issue, as suggested by the CPH (see the email fwded by Rafik), we will report back to this list what was discussed.

I guess people had different perspectives about how willing they were to vote for an IPC candidate against a decent CPH candidate. I can understand what this group was trying to do but I also understand why others may feel nomination entails some future obligation, even if it was not explicitly told to them or even if it was stressed to them that was the case.

This email was also just circulated on the council list. I have no objection to repurposing some of tomorrow?s full day council session to discuss this topic. However, I do not see any constructive purpose in endorsing the full statement (if folks are considering this), particularly ?However, the qualifications of both candidates were ultimately disregarded?. To me, whether we agree with this, or not, is not the issue. I just don?t believe it is helpful or constructive to point this out at this time. Thanks.

URL: From aelsadr Fri Oct 23 02:48:23 2015 From: aelsadr (Amr Elsadr) Date: Fri, 23 Oct 2015 00:48:23 +0100 Subject: [PC-NCSG] Follow-up on Council Chair Elections Message-ID: Hi, A few of the PC members met today following the the GNSO wrap-up session to generally discuss a strategy for our SG on the council chair elections, but more specifically on a course of action regarding nomination of an interim council VC from the NCPH. Those present were: Amr Elsadr Stefania Milan Matthew Shears Sam Lanfranco David Cake Stephanie Perrin I will try to summarise what we discussed this afternoon, but would appreciate others pointing out anything I may have missed. As you?ve seen on this list, I have been trying to coordinate a possible way forward with Greg Shatan from the IPC and James Bladel from the RrSG. I did inform them that any correspondence or informal discussion between us would need to be relayed to the full NCSG PC. I would prefer to avoid any miscommunication similar to what we have experienced over this past week, and they have indicated their agreement. Here are the discussion points from today: 1. Greg indicated to me this morning that the CSG would like the NCPH to appoint an interim VC until a council chair is successfully elected, however, he did indicate that David Cake would not be an acceptable candidate for the job. He did not explain why, and I did not press him for an explanation. He later sent an email (which I have circulated on this list), which suggested that the CSG are now open to any considerations. He also explicitly informed me that the CSG intent regarding an interim VC was that there is no expected obligation on their side that an interim VC would be a candidate in any upcoming chair election (for example, in the event that Heather would be the interim VC). 2. James Bladel (during the wrap-up session) indicated to me that a repeat of the failure to elect a council chair in one month is a realistic possibility. He also expressed concern that this may impact the council?s ability to conduct its business in the short term, especially should motions be submitted as council agenda items over the next few months. 3. Members of the NCSG PC present at today?s meeting agreed to only support David Cake continuing as an interim council VC pending a resolution to the council leadership void we are dealing with. Part of the motivation of doing this is to provide incentive to the CSG not to continue to block a council chair being elected. Another is the rationale that since we have failed to elect a new council chair (also impacting the NCPH?s ability to select a new VC), it would make sense to continue with the previously selected NCPH VC until a more permanent change in leadership is achieved. As we had a majority of our councillors present, as well as at least one representative from each constituency, I will consider this a consensus decision of the NCSG PC. 4. The NCSG needs to be fully aware of any scenarios and implications of decisions that we make regarding agreeing to a council chair candidate from the NCPH, and any communication between the NCSG and other SGs of the GNSO. 5. The NCSG will formally communicate any positions we have to other groups within the GNSO. This has been made clear to the IPC and the RrSG, however, there is no confirmation that this has been communicated to the full CSG or the RySG. This will need to be done tomorrow during the full-day GNSO session starting at 09:30. 6. Last night during the NCPH reception, Rafik and I met with Greg Shatan and Steve Metalitz. I expressed to them my regret of the miscommunication that has led to us down this path, and conveyed my personal apologies for the role that I played in not communicating the NCSG?s full position of no guarantees to supporting Heather Forrest during the council chair election. The CSG were understandably under the impression that we would support her, as we agreed to her candidacy, and we had not effectively communicated to them that this did not represent a commitment on our part to vote for her during the elections. 7. We need to encourage our CSG counterparts to use the NCPH leadership email list to coordinate our communication. I will ask Glen to add some missing members of the NCSG PC to that list, namely, the constituency representatives to the PC as well as Stefania, who has recently been elected to the council. END OF NOTES. As has been our tradition, I hope that the NCSG will not decide to direct our councillors voting for the GNSO council chair elections. I will personally not support a decision to direct our councillors votes under any circumstances. However, a consensus of the NCSG PC is required to confirm a VC (interim or permanent) from the NCPH. Following the meeting of the PC members, James Bladel informed me that the CPH will continue to support his candidacy for council chair. This has not been formally announced, but once/if it is, we will need to decide whether or not we will consider supporting a NCPH candidate to run against him. Finally, I will send a recording of yesterday?s informal meeting to this list in a separate email. This meeting took place prior to the council public meeting. If anyone has any comments, questions or concerns, please speak up. Thanks.

This list has not been used for a long time, but hopefully will assist in house-wide communication more effectively in the future. I?ve submitted the names of all the NCSG PC members to be included on this list, and would appreciate it if the Chairs of the NCSG/NCUC/NPOC submit the names of the three groups? executive leadership to also be included. I expect that many folks who had been previously subscribed to the list, but are not currently on leadership teams will be unsubscribed. One person who comes to mind is Mikey O?Connor, who actually came up with the idea of this list to begin with. About time we put it to some good use. Thanks.

Avri?s done great work on the SCI over the years, so thanks for that. Also grateful to Stefania for her willingness to step up from NCSG?s alternate representative to primary. If there are no objections, we can communicate this to the SCI leadership team and support staff. Please share your thoughts on this over the next few days. Every SG/C has a two person team on the SCI; a primary representative and an alternate. We will need to appoint someone to this team to replace Avri, and we also need to confirm Stefania as the new primary. By the way?, the SCI is not hard work at all, will hardly consume more than an hour or two a month, in addition to possibly two teleconference meetings/month. It?s a good way to learn more about the GNSO operating procedures and working group guidelines, which is what it reviews, usually on request by the council. David Cake and I are members of the SCI representing the NCUC, and Rudi Vansnick is the primary representative of NPOC as well as SCI vice chair. NPOC also need to appoint an alternate member to the committee. Thanks.

Thanks for volunteering. I'm certainly not aware of any rule that prevents you from doing this. I would advise that we give it a day to hear whether there are any objections, or other folks willing to step forward. I also don't know if you want to circulate a call for a volunteer on NCSG-DISCUSS, or not. In any case, I suspect you'd make a fine and constructive contributor to the mission of the committee.

Would you like to call for volunteers on ncsg-discuss or should I do it? We should also call for volunteers to the Competition, Consumer Trust and Consumer Choice Review Team, and that's actually more urgent, as the deadline is tomorrow.

Had some trouble getting online yesterday. Thanks for moving forward with this. Looks like we have 3 volunteers so far. I don?t want the process for selection to be too burdensome on those who have shown interest. However, I do suggest that some steps be taken to assist the PC in making this appointment. Perhaps something to this effect: 1. Announce a deadline for volunteering + submission of a statement of intent (November 5th?) 2. Submit a statement of intent including: a. A commitment to actively participate on behalf of NCSG on the SCI b. Reason(s) why the applicant is interested c. Demonstration of why the applicant is a desirable candidate for selection This doesn?t need to be long, but let me explain why I believe we should do this. Participation in the SCI has proven to be quite challenging. Often, active participation is limited to the groups of the NCPH. It hasn?t been easy to get Contracted Parties to contribute to SCI discussions, even when the time comes for a consensus call (Note that the SCI only makes recommendations when FULL consensus of the committee is achieved). Seems to me that we need to ensure active NCSG participation/representation on the SCI. Avri?s done an admirable job so far, and we should select a replacement who is able and willing to do the same. Thought? Thanks.

This is the schedule for the next round(s): 5 November - Deadline for nominations ('Each house will be allowed to nominate one candidate for GNSO Council Chair?) 12 November - Deadline for candidate statements: 19 November Council meeting (possibly extend meeting by 1 hour?) - Interview with candidates 20 November - Ballots send out by GNSO Secretariat ? deadline for votes Monday 23 November 24 November - Results announced by GNSO Secretariat If second round is needed, 24 November, second round ballots are sent out (deadline for votes Thursday 26 November) 27 November, results of second round announced by GNSO Secretariat We?ve hopefully got the NCPH Leadership list set and ready to hold discussions on this topic. We should use that list more often, when coordinating with the CSG constituencies. Anyway?, so far, the only ?unconfirmed? updates to this topic that I have heard are that: 1. James Bladel will continue to run as the CPH candidate 2. Heather Forrest is willing to serve as a Council Vice-Chair for the next year I say that these are ?unconfirmed?, because these were communicated to me, and possibly others, privately (not on a publicly archived list), but no official nominations have been submitted yet. I will try to get a more formal discussion that we are all a part of going. Thanks.
