RE: [gnso-et] Messages to AoC Applicants

["Gomes, Chuck" <cgomes@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The timing information from the Affirmation is copied below.  My understanding 
is that the next reviews will be "Preserving security, stability and 
resiliency" and "WHOIS". which are scheduled to start on October 1, 2010, one 
year after the AoC was effective.
 
I cc'd Marco for his confirmation.

"9.2 Preserving security, stability and resiliency: ICANN has developed a plan 
to enhance the operational stability, reliability, resiliency, security, and 
global interoperability of the DNS, which will be regularly updated by ICANN to 
reflect emerging threats to the DNS. ICANN will organize a review of its 
execution of the above commitments no less frequently than every three years. 
The first such review shall commence one year from the effective date of this 
Affirmation. . . ."
 
"9.3 Promoting competition, consumer trust, and consumer choice: ICANN will 
ensure that as it contemplates expanding the top-level domain space, the 
various issues that are involved (including competition, consumer protection, 
security, stability and resiliency, malicious abuse issues, sovereignty 
concerns, and rights protection) will be adequately addressed prior to 
implementation. If and when new gTLDs (whether in ASCII or other language 
character sets) have been in operation for one year, ICANN will organize a 
review that will examine the extent to which the introduction or expansion of 
gTLDs has promoted competition, consumer trust and consumer choice, as well as 
effectiveness of (a) the application and evaluation process, and (b) safeguards 
put in place to mitigate issues involved in the introduction or expansion. 
ICANN will organize a further review of its execution of the above commitments 
two years after the first review, and then no less frequently than every four 
years. . . ."
 
"9.3.1 ICANN additionally commits to enforcing its existing policy relating to 
WHOIS, subject to applicable laws. Such existing policy requires that ICANN 
implement measures to maintain timely, unrestricted and public access to 
accurate and complete WHOIS information, including registrant, technical, 
billing, and administrative contact information. One year from the effective 
date of this document and then no less frequently than every three years 
thereafter, ICANN will organize a review of WHOIS policy and its implementation 
to assess the extent to which WHOIS policy is effective and its implementation 
meets the legitimate needs of law enforcement and promotes consumer trust. . .

                Great, thanks Chuck. 

                Is anyone clear on exactly when we will have to do the next 
one, and hence by when we'll need to define the permanent process?   I suspect 
we could all use a little time off from this topic to focus on other matters, 
and it might be good to let the dust settle a bit and let the lessons learned 
emerge...
