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.</span></div>
<div><br></div>
<div><span style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif">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.</span></div>
<div><br></div>
<div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">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:</span></div>
<div><br></div>
<ul>
<li style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif">Improve our engagement and participating in Working Groups </span></li>

<li style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif">Reviewing our rules with the intention of finding ways to improve participation</span></li>
</ul>
<div><br></div>
<div><span style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif">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.</span></div>
<div><br></div>
<div><span style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif">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.</span></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif">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 (</span><a href="mailto:afri-discuss@atlarge-lists.icann.org" rel="noopener noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(209,109,8);font-family:Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">afri-discuss@atlarge-lists.icann.org</a><span style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif">) 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.</span>
</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><span style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif">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.</span></div>

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.</span></li>

<div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">The ALAC noted that ensuring the security, stability and resiliency of the DNS is arguably ICANN's single most important role. The ALAC has a particular interest in the recommendations related to DNS Abuse, and notes that several of the recommendations overlap with and complement those issued by the RDS WHOIS2-RT and the CCT RT. DNS Security, stability and resiliency is not something that we can afford to ignore.</span></div>
<div><br></div>
<div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">The ALAC has a particular focus on and interest in DNS Abuse. To address this may require contractual changes to facilitate Contractual Compliance action. Such changes require either negotiations with the contracted parties or a PDP, and the ALAC recommends against a PDP and instead encourages ICANN to come to an agreement with contracted parties. Known vulnerabilities need to be corrected with the utmost haste.</span></div>

<div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">Note: Not an ICANN Public Comment. The Public Interest Registry (PIR) held a Public Comment proceeding on the issue of the ISOC/PIR. (8) responses were submitted on behalf the ALAC to the PIR Public Comment proceeding.</span></div>
<div><br></div>
<div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">The ALAC made several suggestions to PIR regarding the issue of ISOC/PIR. The ALAC noted that PICs are the best mechanism with which to enshrine the essential characteristics of a .ORG registry, yet there are significant issues with PIC enforcement that need to be addressed for PICs to be considered a trustworthy assurance. They noted that from the standpoint of an "individual end user," a 10 annual price cap would add a lot of predictability. The ALAC also noted that the stewardship council for .ORG 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.</span></div>
<div><br></div>
<div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">The ALAC's objective is to enshrine PIR's best practices in its contract with ICANN such that they survive any further transitions of ownership.</span></div>

<div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">The ALAC congratulated the ICANN Finance and Planning team, as the draft plans and budget have shown great improvement over the past few years. Not only in how the information is provided, but in the way the plans and budget are structured. The ALAC made several suggestions with regards to the Operating & Financial Plan and Budget, emphasizing that there is not an exact correlation between the number of domains and the income of ICANN. This is important because ICANN relies upon the number of contracted registries and registrars and the number of domains a gTLD has.</span></div>
<div><br></div>
<div style="text-align:left" align="left"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">The ALAC drafted a separate response to Appendix C, relating to the Evolution of the Multistakeholder Model, following their statement. The At-Large community registered its surprise and disappointment at seeing this important subject, which has been such a major topic of discussion, now relegated to an appendix in this Public Comment - in which it is unlikely to get the time and attention it deserves from the ICANN community.</span></div>

<div><span style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(23,43,77)">While several Members of the ALAC Auction Proceeds team originally preferred Mechanism B - where ICANN worked with a non-profit organization already adept in the evaluation, selection and the allocation and distribution of grant funds - ALAC consensus was arrive at for Mechanism A. (Mechanism A allows outsourcing if viewed as advantageous, and in fact ICANN often outsources parts of its responsibilities which are not core to overseeing its Bylaw-mandated responsibilities. Thus Mechanism A could end up being comparable to Mechanism B, but provided more management flexibility in deciding how the varying aspects of the project would be carried out).</span></div>
<div><br></div>
<div><span style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(23,43,77)">The ALAC notes that presumption of the independent panel, with no connection to or control by either ICANN Org or the ICANN Board (preferably contracted to a suitable non-profit or a set of experts in the field of grant selection and allocation) is a critical part of this decision and the ALAC would strongly object and withdraw its support if that condition changes.</span></div>

</div>
<div><span style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(23,43,77)">An “At-Large Valentine”, regarding the Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement, written in good faith and good humor, was submitted to the ICANN Board on 13 February 2020. Jonathan Zuck, ALAC Vice Chair for Policy and CPWG Co-Chair, drafted the letter on behalf of At-Large. ALAC Members and At-Large community members reviewed and approved the letter during the CPWG meeting on Wednesday, 12 February 2020. </span></div>
<div><br></div>
<div><span style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(23,43,77)">The ALAC welcomed the LOI between Verisign and ICANN as a commitment to expand efforts to identify and promulgate best practices by contracted parties to mitigate DNS Abuse. While there are many whose efforts exceed those of others, the At-Large Community believes that even more can be done both in terms of best practices and in terms of bringing along those whose practices are not the best.</span></div>

<div><span style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(23,43,77)">The ALAC noted that ICANN has been striving to be more inclusive in an effort to engage more volunteers with diverse backgrounds. ICANN acknowledges the difficulty in getting new people to join and engage within ICANN and to increase the diversity of participants. The Multistakeholder Model Work Plan takes note of the importance to ICANN to develop pathways to enable effective participation. One of the more practical ways for ICANN to facilitate participation is for ICANN Org, to be more aware of and to avoid clashing with important holidays and religious days observed by volunteers who work countless hours to improve ICANN’s multistakeholder advisory work. By avoiding these dates as much as possible it is showing all volunteers that ICANN Org understands their concerns and does its best to avoid conflicts. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(23,43,77)">The ALAC made several other suggestions regarding ICANN meeting dates in 2022 and from 2024-2028.</span></div>

<div><span style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(23,43,77)">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. </span></div>
<div><br></div>
<div><span style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(23,43,77)">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.</span></div>

<div><span style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(23,43,77)">The ALAC noted the proposed sale of PIR to Ethos Capital has, understandably, created quite a stir, prompting commentary from many perspectives within the ICANN community, and applauds the efforts by the ICANN Board to clarify and make transparent, as much as possible, the process regarding the deal and to take the time to encourage the best possible result.</span></div>
<div><br></div>
<div><span style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(23,43,77)">The ALAC Advice to the ICANN Board suggested (8) recommendations: (1) The Registry for .ORG must be organized as either a charitable non-profit [501c(3) in the US] or a “Benefit Corporation” (B Corporation); (2) One-third of the Registry Corporate Board must be representatives of charitable nonprofits; (3) One Board member selected by the ALAC; (4) The Registry for .ORG must enshrine in its bylaws that the principal focus of the domain is nonprofits and individuals and not commercial interests; (5) The Registry must enshrine in its bylaws a commitment to free speech and a 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) The Registry Agreement must enshrine PIR prohibited practices such a bulk sales to commercial registrars; and (8) The Registry Agreement must establish a “DNS Abuse Ceiling”.</span></div>

<div><span style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(23,43,77)">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.</span></div>
