Captioner: (07:51) Hello! Could you please tell me who the Rapporteur will be for this meeting?
Brenda Brewer: (07:51) Greg Shatan
Captioner: (07:51) Thank you very much!
Brenda Brewer: (07:55) Kavouss, requesting dialout to you now. Please stand by.
Kavouss Arasteh: (07:57) Dear Brenda, Hi
Kavouss Arasteh: (07:58) I am waiting to be dialed up
Brenda Brewer: (08:00) Operator should be dialing you any moment, Kavouss. Thank you.
Wale Bakare: (08:00) Hi all, good morning/afternoon/evening
David McAuley: (08:01) I am #4154
Philip Corwin: (08:02) Good day to all in all jurisdictions
Bernard Turcotte - ICANN: (08:02) hi all
Brenda Brewer: (08:05) Kavouss, we have updated number for your hotel. Dial out is still in progress.
David McAuley: (08:05) conversion done
David McAuley: (08:06) and Finn as well
David McAuley: (08:06) apology, that is
Chris Wilson - Amazon: (08:07) Can scrolling be unlocked?
Kavouss Arasteh: (08:08) During the last call of the Group it was said that media reports of actual companies is the wrong way to raise my oncerns. Real examples like that are dismissed because the facts are in dispute. That’s exactly what happened on the call.It was suggested to use the “Stress Test” method instead of quoting media reports about actual examples. And Steve offered to help to do that (see chat message to at end of the call).It was therefore proposes a stress test as follows:Scenario: A registrar or reseller who has no legal jurisdiction in the US says that US sanctions prevent them from accepting a registration from an Iranian citizen.The Group is therefore is invited to accept , as a minimum , the concept of Stress Testand proceed accordingly.
Kavouss Arasteh: (08:15) The above text was said bxy Steve and NOT me . I JUST put it in the context
Chris Wilson - Amazon: (08:18) Do we have a sense of costs ICANN will incur when seeking OFAC licenses for a specific registry or registrar?
Philip Corwin: (08:19) Q - Does the term "residents of sanctioned countries" just rekate to individuals or also encompass business organizations and other entities?
Philip Corwin: (08:19) relate
Chris Wilson - Amazon: (08:19) We note ICANN should be prudent re such costs re general licenses, but no such comment re specific licenses.
Thiago Jardim: (08:19) Greg, I need to consider this further before aquiescing to it.
Brenda Brewer: (08:19) Phone number ending with 5838, please identify name for attendance. Thank you!
Steve DelBianco: (08:20) I am willing to help with Stress Tests if the group wants to do so.
Steve DelBianco: (08:20) Have to drop Adobe and will stay on the dial-in
Thiago Jardim: (08:22) Greg.. as to this change from residents to entities.
Thiago Jardim: (08:23) shouldn't it be specified that these are entities "residing" in the given location... as was the case of residents
Thiago Jardim: (08:23) ?
Chris Wilson - Amazon: (08:24) Ok. Thanks.
Thiago Jardim: (08:26) the given location is the US, juyst to be clear
Kavouss Arasteh: (08:26) Thiago+1
Thiago Jardim: (08:28) The language used in the OFAC website says "“U.S. persons must comply with OFAC regulations, including all U.S. citizens and permanent resident aliens regardless of where they are located, all persons and entities within the United States, all U.S. incorporated entities and their foreign branches"
Thiago Jardim: (08:28) Quoting that to support the point that the relevant place of "residence" is the US
Thiago Jardim: (08:31) Apoligies, I realise now that the "residents" here is the one in the recommendation part and refers to sanctioned countries, isn't that so?
Greg Shatan: (08:31) Thiago, yes, I believe that is the instance being referred to.
Bernard Turcotte - ICANN: (08:33) As I have said we will probably not be able to get to OFAC on the 11 Oct meeting
Kavouss Arasteh: (08:35) If everybody share the same views ss yours I follow the majority
David McAuley: (08:38) I support one report but also feel governing law should not be part of it – existentially not sure if I am a rabbit or turtle
Thiago Jardim: (08:40) Fair enough, important issues will be left out and we may not bne in a position to support the final product, and we'll have to dissociate ourselves from it, in order to show that the jurisdictional problem remains for the most part unsolved.
Thiago Jardim: (08:47) It's not related to what you mentioned here, but I'd ask the deletion of the first 6 words of the first paragraph, including its footnote.
Thiago Jardim: (08:49) There is no need to restate the document that is referred to in footnote one, nor is it necessary for the purpose of this recommendation for any of us to venture into an interpretation about the mandate of the subgroup in relation to matters that go beyond the recommendation at hand
Thiago Jardim: (08:49) Further, if the subgroup submits this recommendation, it stands to reason that this is within the mandate of the subgroup.
David McAuley: (08:51) I agree to delete first six words - do not see this effort as aimed at ICANN's overall accountability
David McAuley: (08:52) yes
Thiago Jardim: (08:53) Cheers David
Kavouss Arasteh: (08:53) Thiago +1
Thiago Jardim: (08:53) I'd appreciate if you could do so.
Philip Corwin: (08:59) Regrets, must depart for GDPR webinar/bye all
Wale Bakare 2: (09:01) I agree with Kavouss
David McAuley: (09:01) no offense Kavouss, my friend

Bernard Turcotte - ICANN: (09:03) Time check - 27 minutes left in call
Wale Bakare 2: (09:03) Unfortunately, i need to switch to GDPR webinar now, bye.
David McAuley: (09:04) There will be future round of gTLDs though possibly, with new regsitries and possibly new registrars
Thiago Jardim: (09:04) I don't think there is sufficient support for David's suggestion.
David McAuley: (09:05) no surprise there with that check
David McAuley: (09:10) Someone just came by and asked me something - sorry I am l;ost as to where we are now
