At-Large Talking Points at ICANN73

• Universal Acceptance
  1. Big improvements have been made with long TLDs
  2. Long way to go for IDNs.
  3. Measurable improvement should proceed a new round.

• EPDP and GDPR compliance
  1. Standardized Data Access is Important
  2. the Proposed SSAD doesn't deliver enough to justify costs
  3. System likely to be obsolete by the time it's delivered
  4. A ticketing system would make more sense

• DNS abuse
  1. EU Report Confirms DNS Abuse is still an important issue.
  2. 75% of phishing domains and 59% of malware domains are maliciously registered
  3. Mitigation is most Important

• Subsequent Procedures
  • Work to be done, prior to a new round
  • DNS Abuse, Universal Acceptance, Applicant Support top AT-Large priorities

• Global Public Interest Framework
  • The PIF is a pilot
  • Remains to be seen if it's useful
  • Need to ensure that individual internet users are central to "public interest"

• IDNs
  • Security and usability require more than allowing variant TLDs to be made available unchecked.
  •  technical, operational, legal, community/linguistic factors require management policies or implementation guidance to enhance the end-user experience with IDNs and their variant TLDs.

• Registrar Transfer
  1. Significant work in securing notifying Registered Name Holders (RNH) in the different phases
  2. Focus on establish a secure Transfer Authorization Code (TAC), inc. time to live for the TAC
  3. «Consensus" that the 60 days transfer locks (after create and transfer) is too long.
