    GAC Discussion: New gTLD Program Next RoundMonday, 10 June at 10:45

    What happened?

    Example: This session discussed... focused on the new DNS Abuse requirements in the RA and RAA contracts that go into effect on April 5th, 2024. There was a panel that included representatives from the CPH as well folks from IPC and NCUC. The CPH participants focused on the the speed with which an agreement was reached and the effort to get it voted on by a majority of the CPH and expressed high hopes for a positive impact on taking down "bad actors."  Elliot Noss made a rare appearance to emphasize the expectation that ICANN Contract Compliance now has the tools it has been asking for and hope to see real results. The IP and business interests suggested it was a good start and the NCUC rep expressed concern that it might trample due process.

    What are the At-Large specific takeaways from this session? 

    the Example: At-Large perspective is that we've been looking for similar changes to the contracts for many years and welcome them. We have no desire to see due process suffer as a result. Ideally, these ammendments do NOT change the behavior of "good actors" but allow ICANN to punish bad ones, there by splitting the difference between the fears of the NCUC and the expectations of the business communityis interested in...

    What are the At-Large specific action items (next steps)?

    Justine has suggested that we perhaps begin holding a series of plenaries on how these ammendments are working out, starting at ICANN 80 so that there are continuous updates.

    New gTLD Program Next Round: Planning for String Similarity Review Work Session

    		Tuesday, 5 March at 15:00Bill Jouris 

    What happened?

    The IDN project presented the String Similarity Review Guidelines ( https://itp.cdn.icann.org/en/files/strategic-initiatives/string-similarity-review-guidelines-07-02-2024-en.pdf ) which are currently up for Public Comment.  The IDN Project has recognized that there are lots of pairs of symbols which, while they are not classed as variants, are sufficiently similar to cause confusion.  They have identified some of these, and developed a process to automate the initial evaluation of proposed TLDs.  The proposed automation will basically eliminate those TLDs which are clearly NOT similar to any other TLD (current or proposed), thus keeping the number requiring manual review to a manageable number.  The only significant oversight appears to be in the matter of variations under the basic character which would be obscured by the underlining which major browsers and word process software packages automatically generate for domain names. 

    What are the At-Large specific takeaways from this session? 

    Example: At-Large is interested in...This is a huge improvement over where the IDN project appeared to be a couple of years ago, and it should be commended for that.  ALAC may also wish to produce a Public Comment (deadline 27 March) on the matter of underlining, and a couple of other more technical details.   (NOTE: This is an interim document, with several unwritten sections still visible.  So there will be opportunities for further comment later.  This is an opportunity to get some things included while the situation is still somewhat fluid.)
