Denise -your message below would have gone some way to answering my
question on timing at least. Was there some reason it could not be
shared with our group?

Subject: RE: Request for Report on IPC Recertification, Constituency and
SG Charter Amendments 

 

IPC membership, 

 

FYI, and in partial response to Victoria McEvedy's query, please see
below a message received earlier today from Denise Michel of the ICANN
staff, summarizing the ICANN board's consideration, at its meeting this
week, of the status and timetable of approval of the charters for the
new Stakeholder Groups.  It seems clear from this that the "new"
(restructured) GNSO council will NOT be seated by the time of the ICANN
meeting next month in Sydney, but it is not clear what the revised
timetable will be.  This also may affect the timeline for, and status
of, reconfirmation of the IP constituency -- we will try to find out and
report to the full list as soon as possible.  

 

 

Steve Metalitz, IPC president

 

Dear Community Members:

At today's Board meeting, Directors considered the status of Stakeholder
Group (SG) formation and acknowledged that the GNSO community has made
an effort to comply with the Board's timetable for GNSO restructuring
(i.e. seating a new Council in Sydney), that the Board has received
proposed SG charters for review, and that the restructuring schedule has
slipped past Sydney.  The Board approved a resolution that: noted that
the proposed SG charters require revisions to ensure equitable
participation and representation by new constituencies; directed the
Board's Structural Improvements Committee (SIC) and ICANN Staff to
propose changes to the SG charters to make them consistent with the
Board's stated objectives; and directed the SIC to post the revised
charters, and an explanatory memorandum, for GNSO consultation and
public comment. 

The resolution will be posted by the Board Secretariat shortly at <
http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/ <http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/> >,
but I wanted to alert you to this development ASAP.  Additional
information will be posted/distributed as soon as it's available.

Regards,
Denise


Denise Michel
ICANN Vice President

Dear Steven, 

 

I would be grateful if you would please advise who is dealing with these
issues (see subject line) on behalf of the Constituency. 

 

Further, could we please have a detailed report from the relevant
individual or group? In particular, could we have a report on
negotiations on these topics, if any. 

 

Thank you and regards,

Subject: FW: DRAFT IPC submission re IDN gTLD constituency petition --
Time Sensitive 

 

Fellow IPC members, 

Please review the attached DRAFT IPC submission and circulate any
comments or objections ASAP and no later than 12 noon EDT on Wednesday,
May 20.  

There is a May 20 deadline for public comments on the proposal to
establish an "IDN gTLD" constituency and to locate it within our
commercial stakeholder group in the "improved" GNSO structure.  See 
http://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/#idngtld
<http://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/#idngtld> . 

The BC and ISPC late last week submitted some very terse comments which
focus on objecting to including this proposed constituency within the
commercial SG.  I attach a copy. I recommend that IPC support this
submission. 

At the same time, it is worth pointing out that this problem reflects a
fundamental flaw in the GNSO restructuring exercise.  There are also
other problems with the proposed IDN gTLD charter which should be
pointed out.  I have drafted the attached submission to make these
points.  

Thanks in advance for reviewing the draft promptly and circulating any
objections or comments by the deadline stated above.  


Steve Metalitz, IPC president
