RE: [council] Topics for Joint Meetings in Brussels

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

Unfortunately, I sent Chris the two proposed topics yesterday and he was 
planning on discussing them with the ccNSO today so it may be too late to 
change topics now.  Assuming it is not too late, we would need to keep the 
topics to a minimum because we only have 90 minutes and part of that will be 
taken up by lunch.  In my opinion, topics should be of general interest to most 
people in attendance and not too technical.  Topics that benefit from joint 
ccNSO/GNSO discussion are ideal.

Dear colleagues, 

 

Regarding gNSO/ccNSO meeting and sync TLDs as a topic.  I propose a different 
theme, because I have a feeling, that Sync TLD theme today has a very limited 
implication, refer to Board resolution:

Whereas, the methodology to be taken by the IDN ccTLD manager to handle these 
particular instances of parallel IDN ccTLDs is, in the short-term, the only 
option available, but there are serious limits to where such an approach is 
viable in practice, so that it cannot be viewed as a general solution, and that 
consequently, long-term development work should be pursued;

Whereas, significant analysis and possibly development work should continue on 
both policy-based and technical elements of a solution for the introduction on 
a more general basis of strings containing variants as TLD;

My recommendation to gNSO and ccNSO councilors is to focus on interesting and 
“yet unknown” issues of “IDNs in non-IDN world”.  Please find below a short 
list of issues to cover:

 

IDNs in NON-IDN world

The issues and problems for the end users, registrars and registries are very 
similar: this world is not ready for IDNs

Support of browsers

Overview of browsers behavior. DNS traffic cash-in: why local script goes to 
.COM? Why Google is my default for the IDN script / browser localization? How 
IDN development changes the food chain of typos, not-founds? 

Support of email

Email functionality adds up to IDN popularity. Update on IETF.

IDN code: “IDN-ization”, where to stop?

IDN code гттп://президент.рф/постановления/приказ1.гтяр

Community activities to get the thing done right

what can be done jointly ccNSO / gNSO to speed up IDN support on application 
level? What should we demand?

 

 

Best regards,

<<Survey for Board meeting with GNSO in Brussels.docx>> 

Assuming  I didn’t miss anyone’s preferences, here is a summary of support for 
discussion topics in our joint meetings in Brussels:

GAC/GNSO meeting

1.      DAG 4, including morality and public order

o       Support: Bill, Jaime, Wolf, Mary

o       Oppose: 

2.      AoC, including A&T RT and next reviews

o       Support: Bill, Jaime, Wolf, Mary

o       Oppose: 

3.      RAA

o       Support: Chuck, Mary?

o       Oppose: 

4.      IDN ccPDP

o       Support: 

o       Oppose: Chuck, 

If there are no objections by Monday, I plan to suggest to Janis that we 
discuss topics 1 & 2 with the GAC.  And would like to request a volunteer (or 
volunteers) to draft a brief (less than 5 minutes) intro to each topic 
including any questions we might have for the GAC.

Board/Staff/GNSO dinner meeting

1.      There are rumblings that there are some on the Board who think this 
meeting has outlived its usefulness; in light of that, it might be useful to 
discuss the value or lack of value from both the GNSO and Board/Staff 
perspective.

o       Support: Chuck, Stéphane

o       Oppose:  

2.      What do Board members understand about the AoC commitment to promote 
competition, consumer trust, and consumer choice in the DNS marketplace, with a 
particular focus on GNSO work

o       Support: Rosemary, Wolf

o       Oppose:  

3.      ICANN and Internet governance directions

o       Support: Terry, Bill, Jaime, Rafik, Mary

o       Oppose:  Wolf

4.      DAG 4, including morality and public order

o       Support: Wolf, Mary

Note that I sent the attached survey to Bruce Tonkin for the purpose of getting 
individual Board responses and asking Bruce what the best way of doing that 
would be.

ccNSO/GNSO meeting

1.      DNS-CERT

o       Support: Chuck, Bill, Mary

o       Oppose: 

2.      Synchronized TLDs

o       Support: Andrei

o       Oppose: 

If there are no objections by Monday, I will send these topics to Chris.  
Andrei has volunteered to prepare a brief intro to the Synchronized TLDs topic. 
 We need a volunteer for the DNS-CERT to do the same.
