> From the Chair's Desk
> Seun Ojedeji, AFRALO Chair
>
> Welcome to 2020
>
> On behalf of the AFRALO Leadership (Aziz, Sarah and myself), I wish the
> members of the AFRALO, At-Large, and the entire ICANN community a happy
> 2020. Its an honour to welcome you to the second edition of our newsletter
> as Chair of AFRALO and I would like to once again thank the AFRALO
> community for giving me the opportunity to serve in this capacity. Many
> thanks also goes to the past leadership of AFRALO, most especially the
> immediate past Chair, Mohamed Elbashir and Vice Chair, Fatimata Seye Sylla.
>
> During the coronavirus outbreak, many in our region and around the world
> are facing this challenge with resilience and bravery. I would like to
> express our appreciation to all the AFRALO membership for keeping engaged
> and enthusiastic.
>
> I like to commend all AFRALO members who actively participated (remotely
> and physically) during the ATLAS III in Montreal (November 2019). The Third
> At-Large Summit (ATLAS III) event has become a great resource for At-Large
> to further improve our participation in ICANN processes. ATLAS III was
> quite unique in its own way through the various capacity building and
> engagement sessions. Many thanks to everyone involved in the planning of
> the event which was a success and as part of the post ATLAS III discussions
> our RALO committed to 3 things which i will like to remind us all about:
>
>
>    - Improve our engagement and participating in Working Groups
>    - Provide feedback to our RALO about our participation and
>    engagement
>    - Reviewing our rules with the intention of finding ways to improve
>    participation
>
>
> We have witnessed some of our members taking up responsibilities and we
> hope that more of this will continue to happen. In order to improve our
> participation, we have submitted a number of additional budget requests for
> FY21 one of which will introduce French translation of discussions on our
> mailing list.
>
> We have reactivated our Rules of Procedure (RoP) working group which will
> be reviewing the Individual Membership section of our rules to determine
> and propose any required changes. Let’s not forget the history behind this;
> the individual membership rules were approved by AFRALO members over 2
> years ago and as per the rules, we are required to review them after 2
> years. This is therefore an activity that is long overdue which rightly
> falls within our focus areas for the year.
>
> I commend members who have provided updates on their activities to us in
> this newsletter edition and I would like to once again encourage us all to
> keep us informed about your participation within the ICANN community, send
> us a mail on the Afridiscuss list (afri-discuss at atlarge-lists.icann.org)
> and let us know what current ICANN process you are contributing towards and
> how we may support you. Our monthly meetings will continue all through the
> year and I encourage us all to join the meeting to make our opinion and
> voice heard. Our meetings are open to everyone so feel free to join and
> contribute to the discussions.
>
> Finally, ICANN67 was held virtually and I hope you all joined remotely. As
> usual, we held a Joint AFRALO/AfrICANN meeting, discussion on the topic
> around Domain Name System (DNS) abuse; the session was the first session
> during the historic ICANN67 Virtual Community Forum, and provided us the
> opportunity to read from our Global Stakeholders Engagement (GSE) team,
> ALAC leadership and ICANN Board members. See more information below about
> AFRALO and ALAC/At-Large activity during ICANN67.

> Here is to a hopeful 2020!

> AFRALO Secretariat Update: Joint AFRALO-AfrICANN Statement for ICANN67
>
> The AFRALO community once again organised the Joint AFRALO-AfriCANN
> Statement for ICANN67. The session was virtual because ICANN had made the
> decision to hold the first ever virtual session due to the coronavirus
> outbreak.
>
> The session was attended by at least 117 participants. The statement
> focused on DNS Abuse and the following recommendations were made:
>
> We recommend the following key steps to assist in the mitigation of DNS
> abuse:
> 
>
>    1. We call upon the ICANN Org to set aside adequate resources as the
>    Steward of the Global Domain Name System, geared towards creating more
>    awareness on DNS Abuse in its global multistakeholder community and how the
>    same can be mitigated.
>    2. Fighting the DNS Abuse shouldn’t turn in a content regulation which
>    is out of the ICANN remit. In fact, what is considered as content abuse in
>    a country may be a freedom of expression in another. AFRALO would not
>    accept any effort to fight DNS Abuse that becomes a content regulation. In
>    view of this, we call upon the ICANN organization to facilitate more
>    discussions on DNS Abuse at Regional Level through the coordination of
>    Policy, GSE and ICANN Learn teams with African community leadership to
>    ensure effective deliberation.
>    3. We call upon the ICANN Org through the office of the Chief
>    Technical Officer to embrace reporting on DNS abuse in clear and simple
>    language geared towards end users who are major consumers of DNS Products
>    and services.
>

> is a good start, but its mandate should be wider than just free speech and
> privacy, and suggested a few board seats reserved for 501c(3)
> organizations, chosen by the community, would be more powerful. Reserving
> certain seats to be selected by NPOC and perhaps the ALAC (to represent the
> individual registrants) would help a great deal.

> This is important because ICANN relies upon the number of contracted
> registries and registrars and the number of domains a gTLD has.

> The ALAC drafted a separate response to Appendix C, relating to the

> The ALAC noted the ATRT review has produced a considerable amount of work
> in little time and this is laudable. Nevertheless, from an end-user
> perspective, ATRT should consider deliberating the following questions: (1)
> How can ICANN better address conflicts of interest? The ICANN community is
> relatively small, with relatively few actors involved in the process.
> Conflicts of interest, perceived or real, can impact negatively on ICANN’s
> standing; (2) How can transparency be increased? (3) How can ICANN ensure
> that in cases where issues persist, processes are initiated to correct
> trajectory? (For example, if multiple reviews identify the same issue or if
> they find implementation to be lacking, how can this be fast-tracked
> transparently and effectively?) (4) Might it be necessary to “silo off” or
> ring-fence certain functions, including reviews, compliance, and other
> types of community oversight? (5) How can ICANN improve their
> responsiveness to community and review team questions and affairs, and what
> policies should be created to ensure these are dealt with? The ALAC also
> suggested taking several noted options into consideration, emphasizing from
> an end user perspective, more, not less, accountability and transparency is
> required from the ICANN community and org.
>
> Overall, the ALAC supports the suggested changes to the ICANN Public
> Comment, public input as well as the accountability indicators. We believe
> those changes would make the Public Comments more effective and show better
> transparency. We strongly believe that a wide, open and inclusive process
> should be maintained in policy development process especially with input
> representing the multistakeholder environment. Policy development must be
> transparent, efficient and should not be biased or skewed towards a group.

> resistance to takedown demands with a political basis; (6) The Registry
> must provide 6 months prior written notice to its registrants of any
> increase in wholesale price of their domain names registration renewal fees
> and the option of a 20-year renewal thereof at the pre-increase price; (7)

> Background
> Prior to ICANN66, At-Large and other community groups within ICANN
> identified the issue, released several reports on the topic of DNS
> Abuse. In advance of ICANN66, At-Large Consolidated Policy Working Group
> (CPWG) led by Co-Chairs Jonathan Zuck and Olivier Crépin-Leblond discussed
> recent DNS Abuse research and how DNS Abuse impacts the Internet end user
> community, including the erosion of trust and security. During ICANN66,
> At-Large organized a policy session on “DNS Abuse – End User Concerns”,
> with a panel presentation. Jonathan Zuck and Joanna Kulesza, ALAC Member,
> moderated the session and summarized how At-Large can enhance Internet end
> user protection against DNS Abuse. The ALAC drafted ALAC Advice on the
> topic during ICANN66, and finalized the draft in subsequent CPWG meetings.
> The ALAC Advice on DNS Abuse was submitted to the ICANN Board on 24
> December 2019.
