Garth Bruen:@Gisella, I just sent it, it was in the TinyURL from the reminder sent last night for this meeting. Thanks
Gisella Gruber-White:@ Garth - thank you
Gisella Gruber-White:Welcome Winthrop
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:Hi Winthrop slightly later than the APRALO one earlier for you...
Winthrop Yu - PH:Yes, good evening all. Thank you for the welcome!
Yaovi Atohoun:I would like us to make difference between University and studenst associations
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:Just got disconnected :-(
Gisella Gruber-White:@ Cheryl - dialling you back
Sivasubramanian M:Even when a non-commercial organization such as an University wants to be an ALS, for the sake of greater diversity, we could issue a general guideline that the organization keeps membership open to those outside the organization, so as to have a balance as a heterogeneous group
Natalia Enciso:can you call me back, please?
Heidi Ullrich:Hi Natalia, I'll ask Adigo
Natalia Enciso:thanks Heidi
Heidi Ullrich:Welcome, Winthrop! Looking forward to seeing you in Beijing!
Sivasubramanian M:Tejani's comment could be true of Governments and commercial organization.
Sivasubramanian M:There are cases of Governments funding a non-governmental organization, there are also commercial establishments funding certain non-governmental organizations, some times with a narrow purpose
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:yes the key issue is the control NOT just funding from a Giv ( or industry for that matter is the key (and is in fac one reason why DD in the application review phase is so important)
Winthrop Yu - PH:Thank you all for the welcome. Yes, we'll be meetiing face-to-face in Beijing. It may interest you to know that there will be another Filipino at Beijing -- the spectrum regulator from the Marshall Islands is also Filipino.
Wolf Ludwig:Sorry for being late!
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:Hi Wolf
Gisella Gruber-White:Welcome Wolf
Heidi Ullrich:Nathalie from staff has returned from maternity leave and will be resuming her support responsibilities. She has joined the ALAC call. Welcome back, Nathalie!
Yaovi Atohoun:Welcome back Nathalie
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:Indeed WELCOME BACK!
Nathalie Peregrine:Thank you!! Am delighted to be back!
Sebastien:Board will have a retreat and a meeting at the end of january and first day of February in LA
Sivasubramanian M:@CLO Often control of an organization from outside is not easily visible
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:indeed
Heidi Ullrich:PD page: https://community.icann.org/display/alacpolicydev/At-Large+Policy+Development+Page
Evan Leibovitch:There were three different issues coming out of the TMCH meeting:
Evan Leibovitch:1) The actual request to enable greater protection of trademark holders
Evan Leibovitch:2) The objective determination of what is policy and what is implementation
Evan Leibovitch:3) Fadi's attempt to develop a lightweight process for getting quick decisions on some issues that still consults the MSM
Wolf Ludwig:@Staff: I am surprised to learn on the agenda (point 4a) that the new ALS from Uruguay becomes a member of EURALO -- perhaps one of the old German colonies? :-))
Yaovi Atohoun:I think that Heidi just corrected that when presenting
Wolf Ludwig:Sorry, I missed that ;-)
Heidi Ullrich:Yes, sorry Wolf! I'll made that correction now.
Wolf Ludwig:Well, we wouldn't reject them ;-)
Gisella Gruber-White:@ Natalia - we are calling you again
Evan Leibovitch:+1 OCL on consumer trust issue
Evan Leibovitch:There has been discussion going on in the ALAC list on the WHOIS privacy issue.
Heidi Ullrich:Staff would be happy to schedule a Whois briefing webinar.
Olivier Crepin-Leblond:AI: Staff to work with the Chair of the WHOIS WG to set-up a Webinar on WHOIS
Heidi Ullrich:Olivier, should this webinar be scheduled in the next two weeks?
Heidi Ullrich:or mid-Feb?
Fatima Cambronero:thanks @Heidi, @Olivier and @Carlton
Heidi Ullrich:Good suggestion, Fatima!
Olivier Crepin-Leblond:Really up to Carlton's schedule - when it's best for his
Fatima Cambronero:thanks @Heidi!
Garth Bruen:FYI, in terms of .COM and Verisign, a Thick WHOIS would fundamentally change their duties, workload and obligations.
Avri Doria:not only diminishes the privacy, it also increases the danger in some case.
Garth Bruen:Any arguments by Verisign must be shot through that view. They are less-likely about privacy.
Yaovi Atohoun:Just got disconnected
Garth Bruen:Because .COM is the largest single gTLD Verisign would then have to collect ALL the existing data and MAKE IT UNIFORM. At the moment there is NO STANDARD for .COM WHOIS data.
Garth Bruen:To be fair, this is a monumental task for which Verisign likely wants more money.
Garth Bruen:As far as what this means for U.S. control, yes, it is true that a Thick WHOIS would place MOST of the Internet's WHOIS data within the U.S.
Avri Doria:However, the privacy issues differ in thick and thin
Avri Doria:The additional ingredient is Local Politcal Reality.
Carlton Samuels:I would ask staff to organize a webinar for early Feb
Garth Bruen:But then would it really? Where is the data actually stored????
Oksana Prykhodko:+1 Avri for Local Political Reality
Dev Anand Teelucksingh:perhaps several webinars are needed given the complexity of issues related to WHOIS
Heidi Ullrich:Tijani, is this AI correct? AI: The issue of Whois is to be added as an issue to be addressed by the Capacity Building WG.
Garth Bruen:On the flip side, a Thick WHOIS for .COM would significantly reduce Registrar issues. it would preclude WHOIS obfuscation and level of service expectations. Also simplifiy UDRP.
Heidi Ullrich:There are now 5 comments that have been received on the R3 White Paper: http://forum.icann.org/lists/at-large-r3-white-paper/
Carlton Samuels:@Privacy Thick vs Thin? Is that about 'balkanised' access rules or on whom the requirement falls for maintaining access
Gisella Gruber-White:@ Tijani - we are calling you back
Carlton Samuels:Or, mediated collection of data; give the several jurisdictions the right to decide what to collect?
Heidi Ullrich:The R3 workshop is scheduled for Monday, 8 April
Garth Bruen:For those wanting absolute secrecy in WHOIS, there are of course options. .NU for example provides ZERO WHOIS information.
Sivasubramanian M:Alan, did you say Microsoft has 450,000 defensive registrations, on a previous agenda item?
Carlton Samuels:@Dev: Actually, the issue isn't all that complex. The policy says a) what to collect b) How to make it available c) Who has access rights and the extent of those rights
Carlton Samuels:@Garth: This is usually my surprise - and the hole in argument - for those committed to the idea of 'respect for national laws for WHOIS; ccTLDs ought to be a part of that solution framework. I'm thinking maybe because one may have to give up something to gain something.
Dev Anand Teelucksingh:well privacy issues related to WHOIS is I think more complex. Again and again, there are privacy concerns raised when user information collected is "re-purposed" or re-shared in an manner that was not apparent to the user
Alan Greenberg 2:On Whois, a disturbing article with a lot of merit (in my mind) from the Chair of the Whois RT - http://news.dot-nxt.com/2013/01/16/deja-whois#comment-7143
Gisella Gruber-White:Rinalia has joined the call
Garth Bruen:@Carlton, the irony is that .NU is run from the U.S. - oops!
Heidi Ullrich:Welcome, Rinalia!
Evan Leibovitch:Thanks, Olivier. At least I got a preview of the Beijing breathing experience while travelling
Rinalia Abdul Rahim:I need to consult Edmon
Rinalia Abdul Rahim:He is lead on that one
Carlton Samuels:@Alan: I saw it. And to be, not disturbing at all. Emily is a sensible person and she knows when 'she's getting tossed'!
Heidi Ullrich:@Rinalia, please could you let staff know if you would like a briefing call on this PC?
Gisella Gruber-White:The recording as well as the transcripts (EN, FR and ES) have been posted
Oksana Prykhodko:I read today about new ICANN Speakers Bureau. What does it mean? How can it help us to understand post-WCIT situation?
Rinalia Abdul Rahim:@Heidi, we need to see if there is community demand for it. Once that has been ascertained, I will let staff know.
Heidi Ullrich:Thanks, Rinalia.
Alan Greenberg 2:@Siva Not necessarily defensive registration. All we can see is the number of registrations that use the same e-mail contact address. On looking now, I see the current number is 88,000 (http://whois.domaintools.com/microsoft.com). Not sure what is different from last time I looked. Will need to look into it later.
Heidi Ullrich:There is a post-WCIT discussion workspace: https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/Post-WCIT+Webinar+-+Discussion+Workspace+-+January+2013
Gisella Gruber-White:Post-WCIT Webinar page: https://community.icann.org/x/8oRZAg
Carlton Samuels:@Emily: I attended a lot of the public WHOIS RT and my views were even directly solicited. That Final Report was a monumental achievement in adept diplomacy and some very incisive work by Emily herself
Carlton Samuels:@Oksana: It means we now have a process to engage ICANN in providing policy expertise for local engagement; such as the policy discussions being planned or ongoing in the Ukraine
Oksana Prykhodko:@Carlton We urgently need such expertise!
Avri Doria:you have to at least communicate with the hinterlands of the ALSes, that would be a start.
Alan Greenberg 2:@Carlton, yes, but in my mind, taking that work and tossing it *IS* the disturbing part.
Oksana Prykhodko:We are working to organize round table in Ukrainian Parliament. Can we get ICANN speaker for it?
Avri Doria:Other than academy we need just constant 'small bite' communications /invitations to all of the ALSes, and their members
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:@Oksana request form is here http://www.icann.org/en/contact/speakers
Oksana Prykhodko:@Cheryl Thank you
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:the announcement is linked off the ICANN main web page
Heidi Ullrich:I've made a requests to staff to translate the announcement and request form in the 5 UN langugages.
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:Excellent Heidi THANKS
Heidi Ullrich:ROP WG Workspace: https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+Rules+of+Procedure+Working+Group+Members
Alan Greenberg:ESADT Elections, Selections and Appointments
Carlton Samuels:@Alan on the treatment of the WHOIS Final RT: +1. BTW, the 'direct fixer' model is still not on the road. FWIW, I applied for inclusion but nothing more from ICANN other than to acknowledge the applciation.
Avri Doria:27.7 The issues in ESADT that I call Suffrage for ALSes. thank you CLO for the balanced discussion of the need for At-large community discussion of the suffrage issue. to add the problem of the basic membership in the process was unfortuante but perhaps necessary.
Wolf Ludwig:Sorry, I have to leave -- have another call tonight and things to do in between. Thanks and good by all!
Heidi Ullrich:Talk to you later, Wolf.
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:but we need ti move onto getting the ROPs updated ASAP then immeadiatly undertake the electorate review matters
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:Happy to do a Sunday 7th session
Heidi Ullrich:90 minutes will be allocated to this topic.
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:BUT note my existing commitments for that Sunday.
Gisella Gruber-White:Yaovi is back
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:Agreed Alan
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:Agreed AGAIN Alan
Heidi Ullrich:Yaovi is saying he belives that the work should be done before Beijing.
Carlton Samuels:@Alan: +1.
Eduardo Diaz:Could not understand Yaovi?
Dev Anand Teelucksingh:also agree with Alan
Natalia Enciso:I have to leave now. Have a nice day
Carlton Samuels:Rehashing f2f only takes away time from progressing the matter.
Heidi Ullrich:Sorry to those on ES and FR. The audio is not good enough on Yaovi's line to interpret.
Julie Hammer:Just noticed in my diary that Sunday 7th is WORLD HEALTH DAY!!! Hope this is a good omen for the Workshop!!
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:indeed1
Heidi Ullrich:RG Workspace: https://community.icann.org/display/newgtldrg/At-Large+New+gTLD+Review+Group+Workspace

Dev Anand Teelucksingh:new gTLD dashboard : http://bit.ly/newgtld

Heidi Ullrich:At-Large Meetings in Beijing: https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+Meetings+-+Sunday%2C+7+April+2013+Workspace
Carlton Samuels:@Alan: I thought so but it was important for the distinction to be placed on the record for this meeting
Alan Greenberg:Carlton and Tijani, I would phrase that differently. Not "must be the same" but "would be good if it were the same".
Alan Greenberg:iF WE WANT A "MUST", SHOULD BE IN THE RULES, AND i DON'T THINK THAT IS NECESSARY.
Carlton Samuels:@Alan: :-) so noted.
Alan Greenberg:Sorry for screaming. Stuck caps lock!
Oksana Prykhodko:thank you< I am back)
