4. ALAC Policy Development Activities - Evin Erdoğdu and Alan Greenberg (15 minutes)

Reference: 2018 ALAC Policy Comments & Advice

1. 1. Statements approved by the ALAC

...

• 1. • The ALAC noted that the assurance of full consistency between all of the recommendations - which are noted in the report to be more than 100 - would depend primarily on the interpretation of the recommendations and the implementation plan. The ALAC recommends dedicating enough time to ensure inconsistencies do not result due to misinterpretation of the recommendations. 
       

       Draft

       Final Report of the NomCom2 Review
       On the whole, the ALAC believes the ICANN NomCom system has been working well considering the significant challenges it faces. The ALAC made 8 general comments to improve the function of the NomCom, noting that while confidentiality needs to be maintained, whenever possible, open, transparent processes should be adopted to represent the multistakeholder nature of ICANN.
       Draft

       Project Plan for the Proposed Name Collision Analysis Project (NCAP)

        

       
       As the principle voice of end users within the ICANN community, the ALAC supported the SSAC in its efforts to address the issue of Name Collisions, while

       encouraging clarity

       encouraging clarity on the SSAC's bidding process for work contemplated under

       the Draft

       the Draft Project Plan.
       ICANN Reserve Fund: Proposed Replenishment Strategy 
       The ALAC supports the overall strategy, with several important conditions related to operational savings, auction proceeds, per-domain registrar fees and revenue. 

     • Plan to Restart the Root Key Signing Key (KSK) Rollover Process
       The ALAC provided several recommendations to ICANN regarding the impending KSK Rollover, and called for a holistic review including a risk assessment of the alternatives, in time for further discussion at ICANN62. 
       

     • Data Protection/Privacy Issues: ICANN-proposed Interim Model 
       Overall, the ALAC agreed with the Interim Compliance Model’s tiered access approach, while remaining divided on several other issues including purposes of processing WHOIS data, applying the Interim Model on a global basis, and distinction between legal and natural persons.
       

     • Draft Procedure for Community gTLD Change Requests
       Community TLDs are of crucial importance to At-Large. The ALAC supported the Draft Procedure (including the proposed Community gTLD Change Request Form), subject to three provisos articulated in the Statement: (1) Required outreach to the TLD community, (2) Change request comment period, and (3) Approval criteria.
       

     • ICANN Fellowship Program Community Consultation
       The ALAC suggested that changes (i.e. metrics to gauge ROI, tracking outreach and engagement of the Fellows in their respective communities) are required in order to achieve greater effectiveness of the Program, not only to meet At-Large policy goals relating to the DNS.
