Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy Part B Working Group Proposed Final Report

Alan: I have not spend spent a lot of time on this.

OCL: Is this something we need to comment on?

...

Alan: I am one of the authors of this document. It is important. It advises that the Advisory Committees should be able to start PDPs. I am happy to talk to everybody interested in writing the ALAC advice but I should not be the author of the ALAC advisecomment.

AI: Dev and Dave to follow up with advise from Alan, Cheryl and everybody involved with the Proposed New GNSO Policy Development Process from At-Large.

...

Alan: This looks at registrants rights post expiration. There are none at this point. The report does not come close to what we would want. There were too many registrars in the WG and they teamed up against our interests. We can still make changes based on comments but we need to make them. Otherwise the registrars will make their comments and push in a certain comments.

OCL: Personally, I was a bit disappointed by the bullying of the registrars.

...

CLO: We need to follow up with the public consultation committee with regards to cultural sensibility issues, in particular with datesrespect to the holiday calendar.

Heidi: We have informed communication of a cross-cultural agenda calendar but given the current resource constraints it is unclear when this calendar will be set up.

Jean-Jacques: ICANN's meeting team already has a quite extensive list of cultural holidays it takes into account for their meeting planning.

AI: Staff will ask the RALO RALOs to review the suggested meeting dates for 2014 - 2016 (see http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-4-21feb11-en.htm) 

...

Evan: There are issues where we clash with the interests with of registrants, such as Whois.

Samantha: Will there be a proposal with specific language sent to the General Counsels office?Counsel's office? We need the document by next week to include it in the SFO meeting agenda for the Board.

CLO: WT A sent it to the ALAC, it is now up to the ALAC to make a decision. We can either follow Alan or run a vote.

Evan moved that the ALAC approve the suggestions from WT A with Jean-JacqueJacques' amendment and propose it the ICANN's amendmentGeneral Counsel Office. Jean-Jacques seconded the motion.

The ALAC, as the primary organizational home within ICANN for individual Internet users, has a responsibility to enhance ICANN's accountability mechanisms, as called for in the Affirmation of Commitments.  It also coordinates some of ICANN's outreach to individual Internet users.  The ALAC considers and provides advice on all aspects of activity within ICANN, including policies created through ICANN's Supporting Organizations, as well as the many other issues for which community input and advice are sought.  
 
The specific elements of how ALAC fulfills this mandate are set forth below.

In agreement:
TBJ, SHL, SH, CLO, MR, GS, EL, EC, OCL, JJS

The motion passed unanimously.

Samantha: We need the document by next week to include it in the SFO meeting agenda for teh Board.

Samantha Eisner: I have a question on the scope of the proposed change from Jean-Jacques.

The WG Chairs gave a brief presentation of the work of the Improvement WTs. All the presentations are available on the agenda page for this meeting.

GAC-Board Meeting - Discussion of ALAC positions

OCL: We will talk to the AGAT WG in Brussels. I imagine we could start with the first topic on the summary page for the Board GAC meeting:

T1: The objection procedures including the requirements for governments to pay fees;

Evan: Our position on this is evolving. We have room to move. There might be some fearmongering about a possible GVT veto, I don't think it is sustantialsubstantial.

OCL: I agree with Evan. I think our position has evolved since we submitted these statements. I suggest that we discuss this during the AGAT call.

...

CLO: I encourage all of you to subsribe subscribe to the ATRT Skype list to discuss this further.

...

Heidi: There are several consumer-related meetings in San Francisco. Unfortunately, the most prominent meeting hosted by Beau and Alex is during the ALAC policy meetings on Tuesday.

...

Evan: It is imperative that we have a formal meeting with the GAC. I understand that the GAC is occupied with Bruseels but still,  this should not be forgotten.

Tentative Stanford Town Hall

Heidi: We started a mailing list. We have no resources so it would need to be self-organised. If we do move ahead, I suggest that we have a preparatory call in the next few days. The bus would cost USD 900.

Marc: There is a lot of interest but the key person has not responded to my emails. We are still looking at possible meeting venues. Do we reach out do a university environment or do we want to have it closer to the ICANN meeting. ? We need to determine in the next few days whether the local host will go ahead with this. If we don't have their consensus we can't go ahead. We should know by the end of the week.

...

AI: The Staff will ask the RALO to put forward volunteers for the ccNSO study group on he the use of names for countries and territories
