Mozilla DNS over HTTPS (DoH) and Trusted Recursive Resolver (TRR) Comment Period
On behalf of the ALAC, ALAC Chair Maureen Hilyard wrote to the ICANN Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO) to encourage they respond to the Mozilla Public Consultation on DoH and TRR.
IANA Naming Function Review (IFR) Initial Report
The ALAC encouraged the ICANN Board to fulfill the IFR recommendations as indicated in the report. The ALAC also congratulated the IANA Naming Function Review Team for the methodology used in the review.
DRAFT PTI and IANA FY22 Operating Plan and Budgets
The ALAC noted that the DRAFT PTI and IANA FY22 Operating Plan and Budgets - especially the operating plans - are an improvement on both PTI and IANA functions, as well as a transparent initiative to show the community “Operational Improvements Activities and System Enhancements” in advance. Although there is a 30% increase in the budget from the last real results (FY20), the ALAC is glad to see that ICANN org is dedicating more resources to its core function.
Recommendations for Early Warning for Root Zone Scaling
The ALAC made three recommendations with regards to Early Warning Root Zone Scaling: 1) Early warning signs from the anti-abuse communities should be taken seriously; 2) Proper consultation/feedback channel or mechanism should be put in place between ICANN and the various stakeholders should there be any future RSS scaling concerns; 3) In the event that any ICANN process is severely impacted as a result of the proposed scaling, there should be a mechanism in place to pause the process.
Proposed Amendment 1 to the .JOBS Registry Agreement
The ALAC registered concerns about the requested amendments to the .JOBS Registry Agreement with Employ Media which would remove the nonprofit Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) as sponsor and make Employ Media the sponsor of the .JOBS TLD in the absence of any clear rationale. The ALAC pointed out that the end user community places a very high value on the role of nonprofits as stewards of TLDs, as was evident in the recent controversy over a proposed sale of PIR. Finally, the ALAC noted it believes that it would be in the best interests of end users to maintain more robust oversight provision on behalf of the .JOBS community, and ultimately the end user community.
