We got the chance to mention our work to GAC and Board members this morning at
the Accountability & Transparency Forum <http://dakar42.icann.org/node/26849>
here in Dakar. I brought it up when the panel discussed improvements in GAC –
Board interactions on "Advice".
The transcript's not available yet. Below is a note I sent to US GAC Rep
Suzanne Radell when she asked me to follow-up with her and clarify my questions
regarding the GAC.
Rosemary — did Stefane send your draft letter to invite GAC participation?

Subject: my confusing question at Monday's ATRT session
Suzanne -- I used an example to assess whether the ATRT improvements are
actually improving communication with the GAC about advice sought.
The example I used was Bruce Tonkin's resolution from Cartagena:
Whereas, ICANN has committed to promoting competition, consumer trust and
consumer choice in the Affirmation of Commitments
Whereas, if and when new gTLDs (whether in ASCII or other language character
sets) have been in operation for one year, ICANN has committed to organize a
review that will examine the extent to which the introduction or expansion of
gTLDs has promoted competition, consumer trust and consumer choice.
Resolved (2010.12.10.30), the ICANN Board requests advice from the ALAC, GAC,
GNSO and ccNSO on establishing the definition, measures, and three year targets
for those measures, for competition, consumer trust and consumer choice in the
context of the domain name system, such advice to be provided for discussion at
the ICANN International Public meeting in San Francisco from 13-18 March 2011.
Resolved, the ICANN Board requests advice from the ALAC, GAC, GNSO and ccNSO on
establishing the definition, measures, and three year targets for those
measures, for competition, consumer trust and consumer choice in the context of
the domain name system.
I'm in the cross-community
WG<https://community.icann.org/display/CMG/3.++WG+Charter> developing
definitions and metrics for GNSO, ccNSO and ALAC. We've made real progress,
as seen in the attached powerpoint and these draft definitions (red text should
be of particular interest to GAC):
Consumer Trust refers to the confidence registrants and users can have in the
consistency of name resolution (from
registrar to registry), and the degree of confidence among registrants and
users that a TLD registry operator is fulfilling its proposed purpose and is
complying with ICANN policies and applicable national laws.
Competition is evident in the quantity and diversity of gTLDs,TLD registry
operators, and registrars.
Consumer Choice is evident in the range of options available to registrants and
users for domain scripts and languages, and for TLDs that offer choices as to
the proposed purpose and integrity of their domain name registrants.
1. My first question today was to ask Bruce if the Board ever formally
requested the GAC to provide this advice. Or, did he assume the GAC was
reading and parsing every Board resolution for these kinds of things?
Bruce didn't know, but he suspects the board did not make a formal request.
2. My second question was asking Manal if the GAC was developing advice for
this topic.
Naturally, we'd love to have GAC participate in the joint working group, but we
understand that's unlikely. But we do want to be sure the GAC sees our work
and invite your comments. We're presenting our work on
Wednesday<http://dakar42.icann.org/node/26965> at 1pm if you can drop by.
Hope that helps.
