Joint SO/AC Working group on support for new gTLD applicants (JAS) Motion

 

Whereas:

The GNSO Council and ALAC established the Joint SO/AC Working group on
support for new gTLD applicants in April of 2010; and

 

The Working Group has completed the work as defined in its initial charter
and published a Milestone report on 10 November 2010 covering those
chartered items and including a list of further work items that it
recommended further work on; and

 

In recognition of the ICANN Board's resolution 2010.12.10 which reiterated
its 2010.10.28.21 in response to an Interim report from the JAS WG, which
states:

 

the Board encourages the JAS WG and other stakeholders to continue their
work on the matter, and in particular, provide specific guidelines on the
implementation of their recommendations such as determining the criteria for
eligibility for support.

 

 

Resolved:

 

1. The charter of the Joint SO/AC New gTLD Applicant Support Working Group
is extended to include the following limited objectives:

 

a) Propose criteria for financial need and a method of demonstrating that
need. Financial need has been established as the primary criterion for
support. The group should seek out expert advice in this area, especially
given the comparative economic conditions and the cross-cultural aspects of
this requirement.

 

b) Propose mechanisms for determining whether an application for special
consideration should be granted and what sort of help should be offered;

 

c) Propose methods for applicants to seek out assistance from registry
service providers.

 

d) Propose methods for applicants to seek out assistance from other
top-level domain consultants, translators, and technicians, in the
application for, and administration of, a new top-level domain

 

e) Design mechanisms to encourage the build out of Internationalized Domain
Names (IDNs) in small or underserved languages.

 

 

2. The Working group is asked to present a schedule for the work that allows
for completion in time for the opening of the application round, currently
scheduled for Q2 2011, in any event no delays for the new gTLD program
should result from the working group?s work.

 

3. The Working group shall report its results and present a final report
directly to the GNSO Council and the ALAC for discussion and adoption, as
appropriate, according to their own rules and procedures.

 

4. All communication to the ICANN Board regarding the work of this Working
Group shall be through the respective SO/AC unless expressly approved by the
respective SO/AC.

Motion on the implementation of the Fast Flux recommendations that were
adopted by the GNSO Council on 3 September 2009

 

Whereas the Fast Flux PDP Working Group submitted its Final Report to the
GNSO Council on 13 August 2009;

 

Whereas the Fast Flux PDP Working Group did not make recommendations for new
consensus policy, or changes to existing policy, but did develop several
other recommendations that were adopted by the Council on 3 September 2009
(seehttp://gnso.icann.org/meetings/minutes-03sep09.htm);

 

Whereas the GNSO Council intended to create a drafting team to develop a
plan with a set of priorities and schedule to address the adopted
recommendations for review and consideration by the GNSO Council;

 

Whereas due to workload and other priorities such a drafting team was never
created;

 

Whereas the Council tasked the Council leadership at the wrap up meeting at
the ICANN meeting in Cartagena to put forward proposals to suggest which
projects should be continued and discontinued;

 

Whereas the Council leadership has reviewed the Fast Flux Recommendations
that were adopted by the GNSO Council, also in light of the recent
recommendations made by the Registration Abuse Policies Working Group;

 

Whereas the Council leadership has recommended the approach outlined below
to the GNSO Council for consideration as an acceptable way of implementing
the adopted recommendations and therewith closing the project;

 

RESOLVED,

 

The Council accepts the approach identified below for the adopted
recommendations (see http://gnso.icann.org/meetings/minutes-03sep09.htm) and
instructs the ICANN Staff to implement these recommendations as set forth
below:

 

a) Adopted recommendation Fast-Flux Working Group (FFWG) #1: To encourage
ongoing discussions within the community regarding the development of best
practices and / or Internet industry solutions to identify and mitigate the
illicit uses of Fast Flux

? Proposed implementation: This recommendation is encompassed by the
Registration Abuse Policies WG (RAPWG) Malicious Use of Domain Names
Recommendation #1 which  recommends the creation of non-binding best
practices to help registrars and registries address the illicit use of
domain names.

 

b) Adopted FFWG recommendation #2: The Registration Abuse Policy Working
Group (RAPWG) should examine whether existing policy may empower Registries
and Registrars, including consideration for adequate indemnification, to
mitigate illicit uses of Fast Flux;

? Implementation completed as it was addressed by the RAP WG in its final
report (see
http://gnso.icann.org/issues/rap/rap-wg-final-report-29may10-en.pdf)

 

c) Adopted FFWG recommendation #3: To encourage interested stakeholders and
subject matter experts to analyze the feasibility of a Fast Flux Data
Reporting System to collect data on the prevalence of illicit use, as a tool
to inform future discussions;

 

·         The RAPWG Final Report and the Fast-Flux Working Group Final
Report indicated that fast-flux is generally a domain use issue and not a
domain registration issue, and as such falls outside the purview of the GNSO
and ICANN. Therefore no further action is recommended*.

 

d) Adopted recommendation #4: To encourage staff to examine the role that
ICANN can play as a ?best practices facilitator" within the community;

? Proposed Implementation: Integrate this recommendation into the RAP WG
Recommendation on ?Meta Issue: Collection and Dissemination of Best
Practices? which recommends that the ?GNSO, and the larger ICANN community
in general, create and support structured, funded mechanisms for the
collection and maintenance of best practices.?

 

e) Adopted FFWG recommendation  5: To consider the inclusion of other
stakeholders from both within and outside the ICANN community for any future
Fast Flux policy development efforts;

? Proposed Implementation:

 

It is assumed that if the Registration Abuse Policies WG?s (RAPWG) Malicious
Use of Domain Names Recommendation #1 is adopted by the Council, that the
subsequent effort will be open to participation by stakeholders from both
within and outside the ICANN community.

 

 

f) Adopted FFWG recommendation #6: To ensure that successor PDPs on this
subject, if any, address the charter definition issues identified in the
Fast Flux Final Report.

? Proposed Implementation: No action needed at this point, but should be
included if any future PDPs are initiated on this subject.

 

g) Adopted FFWG recommendation #6: To form a Drafting Team to work with
support staff on developing a plan with set of priorities and schedule that
can be reviewed and considered by the new Council as part of its work in
developing the Council Policy Plan and Priorities for 2010.

? Proposed Implementation: The Council deems this work to be completed in
conjunction with the above-proposed implementation proposals.

 

RESOLVED FURTHER

 

The Council now considers the work of the Fast Flux WG complete. As such,
the "Fast Flux Council Follow-up" action item is deemed closed and will be
deleted from the Pending Project List.
