Topic for 4 September call

GNSO-TPR WG recommendations to Change of Registrant Data (Rec #25-28)

Steinar's recommendation is in favor of eliminating Section II from the Transfer Policy; instead, the working group recommends that a standalone “Change of Registrant Data” policy MUST be established, existing outside of the revised Transfer Policy. For the avoidance of doubt, the working group is not recommending a new PDP to establish this standalone policy; instead, the working group is recommending the Change of Registrant Data Policy be created as part of the implementation of these policy recommendations.

At-Large Workspace: ICANN Community Participant Code of Conduct on SOIs and General Ethics Policy

  • The draft ICANN Community Participant Code of Conduct Concerning Statements of Interest (“Code”) is the first step in addressing ICANN community requests to better guide ethical and transparent participation within the ICANN community. The draft Code embraces the reality that ICANN’s multistakeholder model is vibrant because of the variety of interests that are present within community deliberations, while expressing an expectation that those interests are clearly and fully disclosed among participants. ICANN is seeking community inputs on the draft Code, including the Enforcement Guidance set forth within the Code.

    • Key questions:

      • Does the ICANN Community Participant Code of Conduct Concerning Statements of Interest adequately address the issue of setting clear expectations for community disclosures of interests?
      • Are there items you believe are missing from the Code or that should be removed from the Code, and why?
      • Are there other ethical issues you wish to see addressed as part of the broader ICANN Community Ethics Policy?

At-Large Workspace: Proposed Revisions to Community Anti-Harassment Policy

  • The ICANN Board Anti-Harassment Working Group is proposing revisions to the ICANN Community Anti-Harassment Policy and is seeking community feedback on the changes. The Policy now includes a definition of harassment, additional examples of harassment, and expanded and strengthened reporting and complaint procedures. It offers clarity around the role of the Ombuds, including details regarding updates throughout the evaluation process, complaints received from ICANN staff, referrals to the Board, and the resolution process. There is also the opportunity to provide feedback regarding the name of the Policy. Community input is welcome on any or all of the four elements: (I) the name of the Policy, (II) the Policy and terms of participation, (III) the definition of harassment and examples provided, and/or (IV) the reporting and complaint procedure.
