At-Large Leadership Session: Welcome to ICANN 67, At-Large Talking Points and Policy Platform

...

- SV

...

Notes 

• Maureen gave an overview of the meetings during the week
• JZ encouraged all members to join in the DNS abuse session
• JZ gave a high level overview of the talking point, namely : DNS, PIR, Subsequent procedure, PICs, EPDP, Reviews
• DNS abuse: one of the 2 most significant points for the year as it is the #1 for internet end users. Any new round must wait for a policy on DNS abuse.
• in 2012 At-Large was vocal about ICANN not being ready to launch a new round. Specific recommendations include thresholds for TLDs, holistic tools for compliance, more research on machine learning to predict DNS abuse, increase friction for bulk registration, decrease friction for access to registrant data. 
• PIR : there should be revisions to the contract to guarantee the use of such a reputable domain, PICs are recommended. Board members selection should be revised so as to include reserved board seats for representatives of nonprofits. Focus on Individual registrants and nonprofits should be enshrined to maintain public credibility of the domain.
•  Marita mentioned "structural changes" as they were mentioned in the earlier session.
• JZ mentioned the change in legal structure of PIR changing to for-profit company. There is an open public comment being run by PIR.
• B-corp status is a topic to be analyzed so that At-Large can comment it, we should make sure in the CCWG. 
• Joanna pointed out that these are talking points and the CCWG welcomes ideas to be discussed via mailing list and weekly calls, all are welcome to join the CCWG calls.
• Subsequent procedures: relates to new rounds. At-Large position is there is no need to have a new round, DNS mitigation reform should happen first. Community priority evaluation, more work to be done on how to handle geonames.
• PICs are part of contracts ICANN signs with Registries to put out a new TLD. Reform is needed on how these PICs are managed to be effective, both voluntary and mandatory. Enforcement has been insufficient. Pathway to enforcement is needed.  ALAC should be pre-authorized to bring a PIC DRP, reforms are needed.
• EPDP- support automation whenever possible. supports recommendations SSRT and CCTRT.

•  With regards to the change in legal structure of PIR changing to for-profit company, the CCWG should analyze the "B-corp status" proposal as a topic,  so that At-Large can comment on this aspect. The topic will be discussed within the CCWG.
