[At-Large] Fwd: [APAC-Discuss] Internet Governance Webinar Conversation Opportunity With ICANN Senior Executives

[Salanieta Tamanikaiwaimaro]

Dear All,

These are my questions for Fadi, Theresa et al.


1)The meeting that ICANN had with Brazil was designed to discuss the Summit in Rio, in the CEO's mind when he was talking about the Internationalisation of ICANN did he mean:

a) change of oversight from the US, via IANA, DoC to one under a global framework (treaty or otherwise - of more pluralism in architecture); or
b)the continued diversification of its offices throughout the globe to enable access to communities such as the hubs off shore coupled with increasing participation from global communities through existing ICANN structures such as increasing stakeholder participation through aggressive outreach etc; or
c)something else

2)Will there be greater diversity and inclusion within SSAC? At the moment, the SSAC decides who it lets into its fold. The SSAC had recently criticised the Risk Management Framework suggesting the use of ISO instead of a standard by the NIST. In light of deliberate compromised vulnerabilities introduced coloring the perception of NIST*, and despite appearances of internationalization at the core of structure, there remains concerns that the SSAC is inevitably part of US National Cyber Security Strategic Frameworks and there is conflict between ICANN's role as a global steward versus its traditional legal obligations.

P.S This was why I voted against the ALAC Statement supporting calls for implementation of NIST standard instead of the ISO standard.

(Hoping that this will get discussed in the IETF88)

> 
> Dear SOAC Leaders;
> 
> Based on recent discussions within the broader community and your feedback over the past couple of weeks regarding the Montevideo statement,  we think it would be most useful to have a community call before everyone departed for the ICANN Public Meeting in Buenos Aires to discuss recent Internet governance developments – specifically the Montevideo statement - and plans for a broader Internet stakeholder meeting in Brazil next year.
> 
> Fadi has had or is planning a few individual conversations with community groups, but we thought some broader community engagement opportunities with ICANN senior executives would also be helpful so that Fadi, Tarek and Theresa could:
> 
> 
> §  Provide background and context of the recent I-Star discussions leading to the Montevideo statement;
> 
> §  Explain the Board/Staff partnership in this effort;
> 
> §  Explain what has been done to date and share perceptions of the recent IGF-Bali meeting; and
> 
> §  Highlight next steps/prep plans for Brazil next April.
> 
> As a result, we have arranged for two community webinars scheduled for next Friday, 8 November at 1200 UTC and 1900 UTC so that the team can share its thoughts and field community questions and comments.  We are scheduling two separate sessions to cover the global geographic spread of the community and hope that you will be able to share information about the opportunity with your communities.
> 
> Each session will be an hour long and any questions or comments that the team can’t get to on the calls will be saved for further discussion in Buenos Aires.
