[At-Large] Agenda for ICANN Board Meeting Nov 20

[Izumi AIZU]

Thank you Wendy for sharing this.

It seems ALAC Review is not there - is it still at the
BGC's hand to consider,  or did I miss it somewhere?

>
> WHOIS and National Laws:
> In Los Angeles, the GAC acknowledged that its member nations were not
> going to reach a uniform recommendation on WHOIS, thus making way for
> the Board to implement the policy on conflicts with national law
> described at
> <http://gnso.icann.org/issues/whois-privacy/whois_national_laws_procedure.htm>.
>
>
> [GAC Communique: "Due to the complexity of this issue related to the
> diversity of national policies and procedures among GAC members the GAC
> does not believe a uniform process is workable and accordingly the
> interim solution from the GAC's San Juan communiqué should be the basis
> of resolving any potential conflict:
> … specific cases should be referred to the relevant national government
> for advice on the authority of the request for derogation from the ICANN
> gTLD WHOIS policy."]
>
> The .tel contract amendment, which has been out for public comment and
> considered under this procedure and others, offers greater privacy
> rights to individual registrants.  Telnic is based in the UK and
> submitted that ICANN's general registry contract conflicted with UK and
> EU data protection law.
>
> Please let me know if you have comments to add on any of these subjects
> or would like additional information.  Please let me know further if
> ALAC has other matters to bring to the Board's attention.
>
> I expect I will not have further to report before the ALAC
> teleconference, as the Board has not met since Los Angeles.
