I was not able to attend yesterday’s call but I like the proposal for the Consumer Protection Post EPDP very much!

 

Looks like a holistic view of the different stakeholders perspectives - focusing on consumers - with regard to the implementation process and the strengths and weaknesses…

Maybe we can also get a view of a cctld reg.?

 

How long will be the talks approx.?

 

Have a nice day!

Best,

Matthias

Consumer Protection Post EPDP

In this session, we’ll explore how things have changed since ICANN’s implementation of the Temporary Specification to comply with the GDPR. We’ll hear from Consumer Protection Professionals, Cybersecurity Researchers and Corporate Fraud Prevention Experts on how the massive changes to WHOIS have impacted their work and their ability to get the necessary data from contracted parties or find alternatives. We will also invite speakers from the Registrar community to share their experiences with data requests during that same time. Is the volume overwhelming, are the requests poorly scoped?  How does the this small slice of consumer protection look going forward?

 

Recommendation Trepidation

The community is now looking at literally hundreds of recommendations that have been made by various WGs and RTs.  What does that landscape look like and how do we resolve conflicts and prioritize the rest? We’ll have representatives from the board, ATRT3 and some of the WGs and RTs that made these recommendations to begin to look at the state of “reform” inside ICANN, post the recommendations of ATRT3

 

Helpful?

Jonathan

Plenary Session Topic Proposal Form (69)

Proposed Session Title * 

The Domain Name Services Marketplace (Market dynamics, business models and commercial drivers)

Brief Description (max 250 words) * 

An education, outreach and engagement session from the ICANN Contracted Parties (Registries && Registrars). The session aims to improving broader community understanding of the key dynamics of the industry sector on which the finances of ICANN and the ICANN community are based. Generic Top Level Domain Registries and Registrars occupy a unique position within the ICANN community in that they are directly contracted with ICANN. Moreover, ICANN's current funding model depends on the commercial success these domain name businesses. This session will provide insights into the current marketplace for domain names and related services as well as the dynamics driving change within that market place. Second, it will provide insight into the various business models of service providers within the marketplace and the key drivers of these business models. Third, it will create the opportunity for questions, answers and discussions around key business and economic aspects of the businesses and how these may need to be considered within the broader ICANN Community and policy making functions. In addition to the development of the market, topics such as the secondary market for domain names, approaches to abuse and issues with resellers will be covered by Registrars. From Registries, consideration will be given to the different approaches generic (open) TLDs, brand TLDs and geographic TLDs, as well as key contractual requirements.

This session was originally proposed and accepted for ICANN 67

Rationale/Desired Outcomes * 

A recent session targeted at ensuring that ICANN Board members have a robust understanding of the variety of Registrar and Registry approaches to the marketplace was very well-received. Following on from the session with the ICANN Board it was proposed that a similar, expanded and interactive session with the broader community could provide good value to all. Policy making that is well-informed by fact is clearly optimal. Such policy making includes having the best access to all data including an understanding of the commercial drivers of the protagonists. The domain name services sector has seen far reaching changes take place over a number of years including the development of a range a diversity of business models within both Registry and Registrar business. Extensive competition has developed in some areas and substantial consolidation and corporate transactions continue to take place. The broader ICANN community will benefit from an understanding of the key marketplace drivers and dynamics when considering all future policy, including high-profile current issues such as future rounds of new gTLDs.

Session Format * 

Given the outreach and informative nature of the session, it is expected that it will be biased towards presentation of material. But, additional emphasis will be placed on question, answer and discussion. Further, organisers will be receptive to any other techniques to drive levels of interactivity.

Session Leaders/Facilitators * 

To be confirmed

Community Interest * 

Broad. As above, the business and commercial drivers of the registry and registrar businesses underpin their own finances as well as those of the ICANN Organisation as a whole. This is a crucial pillar of understanding for the broad community and so interest is expected to be high and broad.
