GDS: SubPro IRT Work Session (1 of 3) |
Monday, 10 June at 09:00 | Justine Chew | What happened?
What are the At-Large specific takeaways from this session? It looks like the string application fee is going to be significantly costly. Applicant support is going to be a key factor towards the goal to expand registry pool to effectively include underserved, undeveloped / indigenous communities, small businesses, non-profit orgs as potential applicants. What are the At-Large specific action items (next steps)? No specific action as yet. Discussion continues at session 2 and/or session 3 as we/community (i) need time to study what was presented and (ii) await more specific details from ICANN org on the way they are costing the implementation for the Next Round. |

What are the At-Large specific takeaways from this session? At-Large has earlier submitted its inputs to the public comment to the Phase 2 initial report. At this point there's nothing that At-Large needs to do from its side. What are the At-Large specific action items (next steps)?

Joint Meeting: ICANN Board and GAC | Monday, 10 June at 13:45 | Justine Chew | What happened? The GAC raised 9 topics for discussion with the ICANN Board: 1. GNSO Statements of Interest What are the At-Large specific takeaways from this session? Selectively:- 1. GNSO SOI: The Board supports the GAC's position of ensuring full transparency for participation in ICANN; has asked Org to develop an Ethics Policy for community input.
3. Registry Voluntary Commitments (RVCs): The Board has resolved not to accept RVCs that involve restriction of content based on legal analysis (advice & precedents) that ICANN will likely not be permitted under its Bylaws to enforce such commitments even if the registry outsources compliance monitoring. The Board thinks that registries can make commitments for and enforce content restrictions but these cannot be in their Registry Agreement. (NB. registrant restrictions distinguished) What are the At-Large specific action items (next steps)?

Navigating the Multistakeholder Approach: The ICANN Community's Role in Global Internet Governance | Monday, 10 June at 15:30 | What happened? This plenary session explored how ICANN and its multi-stakeholder community can effectively participate in the ongoing and increasingly intense United Nations debates and processes related to Internet Governance. The aim is to safeguard the multi-stakeholder approach against possible shifts towards more restricted multilateral decision-making processes that could compromise the fundamental attributes of the global Internet. What are the At-Large specific takeaways from this session? Community discussions emphasized the relevance of the multistakeholder model, especially is open, inclusive, transparent, accountable, agile, adaptable, nature. Concerns were expressed on the power asymmetries between nations, stakeholders and the need to create fair, equitably, environment that facilitates meaningful discussions. Concern was expressed that if we do not ensure policies are drafted in the public interest and in the interest of a free, open interoperable Internet, we risk losing all the hard work and benefits of the last 30 years. What are the At-Large specific action items (next steps)? From At Large we must use all possible avenues and forms of communication with local, regional, and global stakeholders to raise awareness of the issues being discussed and at stake, and the importance of practicing, and strengthening the multi-stakeholder model, promoting the Sao Paulo Multistakeholder Guidelines to enhance the multistakeholder model. Highlight ICANN's value of being able to participate in multilateral spaces, making contributions from the multi-stakeholder construction. To understand the MSHM as a geopolitical tool that allows ICANN to have a greater voice in these multilateral stages. |
