The panel comprising members of the ICANN Board presented the draft vision and each draft Focus Area on separate slides and stopped to get feedback from the audience. Relatively small audience (30-40 or so ; in the same room for the welcome ceremony) but interesting feedback focusing a lot on the lack of accountability mentioned in the draft goals. |

| Attendance of RALO mtgs for the Metrics WG | 18 November 2013 19 November 2013 | Maureen Hilyard APRALO | I was able to take advantage of RALO meetings held on-site to be able to take the issue of metrics to the ALSes attending the Buenos Aires. The whole purpose of making a face-to-face approach at the RALO meetings was to seek feedback that could contribute to what the Metrics group needs to acknowledge during its development of metrics that can address the peformance obligations of Section 9 of the ALAC ROPs. |

The meeting focused on policy issues and their finance report drew much discussion. There were two interesting panel discussions on capacity building and security issues. I was also invited to attend the Council meeting. An ALAC-ccNSO meeting was not as well coordinated as it could have been, but we will address this issue for Singapore. |

| WHOIS Update | 20 November 2013 | Holly Raiche APRALO | Panel session on steps being taken to implement the contractual obligations under the existing/revised RAA”

| IRPT D | 20 November 2013 | Holly Raiche APRALO | The meeting took a step back to ask the purpose of the IRTP meetings generally – which is to look at the effectiveness of the GNSO Inter-Registrar Transfer Dispute Resolution Policy Generally, and to reconcile/discover inconsistencies in the totality of the policy. Related questions are whether the policy should be open to registrants and, if so, what documentation should they be required to provide. To recap where the group is up to: the downstream implications from the IRTP C report include that registrants were included in the process. On reconsideration, including registrants in the process raises too many questions, about the cost to them of using the process, and what documentation is required. Maybe there should be another process open to registrants – possibly similar to the UDRP concept of mutual jurisdiction and the idea of a specialist panel with knowledge of the industry before taking disputes to court. The issue is the mountain of complaints and recourse for registrants if the registrar in question does not bring an action under the policy. The issue is not just transfers, but non-transfers. Another way to address the issue is to not include registrants in the policy, but include in the policy a requirement that if a registrant requests a registrar to take action on a domain name that has been transferred away, then the registrar must do so. That means that the registrant could then go to ICANN with a complaint against the registrar for non-action. This would mean changing recommendations on ITRP C – but provide a better remedy for registrants rather than bearing the costs of taking a complaint under the policy. |
| FOIWG | 21 November 2013 | Maureen Hilyard APRALO | The FOIWG has completed its statement on Revocation and is seeking comments from the wider community. The FOIWG may disband in Singapore unless an education programme is required to address Revocation issues for the GAC. |
| Privacy/Proxy Services Accreditation Issues PDP Working Group | 21 November 2013 | Holly Raiche APRALO | This was the first meeting of the WG. The meeting
In the specification – are just high level principles – and any signatory to the 2013 RAA are bound by the specification. The specification has a sunset date of 2017 for development – after which it will have no effect. The meeting discussed the need for definitions in the specification, particularly its 4 concepts:
In discussion, there should be an additional concept of ‘unmask’ - to indicate revealing information so that it is publicly available, rather than just reveal – which is revealing information to a particular party. Also note a meeting between Paul Wilson, CEO of APNIC with me and Maureen Hilyard on Monday to finalise details on a proposed MoU between APRALO and APNIC – to be officially signed at the Singapore meeting. |
