RE: [council] News Alert -- Toronto Presentations Published

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

Mike,

With the exception of the baseball game, the RyC has been asking some of the 
same questions for a long time and my understanding is that some discussion 
occurred in that regard in Toronto, although I was not there.  Please note that 
the RyC has never requested these meetings.

Chuck

> On 20-21 August 2009, ICANN hosted its North American 
> Registry/Registrar Regional Event in Toronto, Ontario. Remote 
> participation for the event was made available via Adobe 
> Connect and an audio conference bridge. 
> 
> The regional event model was introduced in 2006 as a means to 
> inform and educate gTLD registries and ICANN-accredited 
> registrars about ICANN activities and processes that may 
> impact their operations. These events also broaden 
> participation in the ICANN multi-stakeholder governance model 
> for registry and registrar staff members who do not generally 
> attend ICANN's annual public meetings. ICANN subject matter 
> experts facilitated discussions on issues such as gTLD 
> registry continuity, contractual compliance, new gTLDs, GNSO 
> policy activities, security initiatives, the 2009 Registrar 
> Accreditation Agreement, and the terminated registrar 
> transition process.
> Such discussions enhance knowledge and foster better 
> cooperation between ICANN and its contracted stakeholders. 
> 
> The Toronto event also featured a session on 
> registry/registrar areas of interest that was facilitated by 
> David Maher, Chair, Registry Constituency, and Mason Cole, 
> Chair, Registrar Constituency. The chairs co-led a discussion 
> about how the two groups might work better together on joint 
> areas of interest such as electing leaders for the GNSO 
> Council and engaging in discussions when new registry service 
> requests, submitted via the Registry Services Evaluation 
> Process (RSEP), have the potential to impact registrars. 
> 
> In the interest of transparency, the presentations are being 
> made public.
