Public participation site

An online question box where community members can ask questions directly to the ICANN Board and staff is open.

The question box will take questions until Wednesday 14 October in preparation for the public forum at ICANN’s international public meeting in Sydney on Thursday 29 October.

Questions are limited to two per individual and 50 words in length each. They can cover any topic related to ICANN and its work. Answers will be provided either during the public forum or emailed and published in the weeks following the meeting.

You can find the form below, as well as on the Seoul meeting website and on the participation pages on ICANN’s main website.

If you can’t see the form below, you can go to it directly at:
http://icann.wufoo.com/forms/seoul-question-box/

var host = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://secure." : "http://");document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + host + "wufoo.com/scripts/embed/form.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));

If you are a regular ICANN community member, it is likely you are currently feeling overwhelmed by the amount of material that has appeared in the past week. So here is a quick guide to help make sense of it all.

Sections are:

• JPA/Affirmation
• Applicant Guidebook/new gTLDs
• Fast Track/IDNs
• Public comment periods
• Seoul meeting
• And the remainder

JPA/Affirmation
Last Wednesday, 30 September 2009, the Joint Project Agreement with the US government ended and in its place a new Affirmation of Commitments was signed.

This is obviously of enormous significance to ICANN, so it currently sits front and center on the ICANN front page. We have an announcement, the Affirmation itself, a video of CEO Rod Beckstrom explaining its significance, and reaction from the community. The Affirmation has been signed but obviously there is much that the community now needs to discuss, and that conversation will start in Seoul.

Applicant Guidebook / new gTLDs
The third version of the Applicant Guidebook was released today. It’s all out for public comment, as we have done twice before. We are gradually moving forward with the overarching issues and, again, Seoul will be place to have more discussions.

It is worth pointing out that today, Monday 5 October, is the document deadline for Seoul (15 working days before the start of the meeting), which is why so much stuff has appeared in the past few days. The idea is that everyone will now have plenty of time to read the documents and so be in a position to talk about their contents at Seoul.

The full rundown of documents can be found at http://www.icann.org/en/topics/new-gtlds/comments-3-en.htm, including red-lined versions so you can see what has changed.

Fast Track
This is the process for introducing internationalized domain names (IDNs) into the root – but only those that related to territories i.e. ccTLDs. The Fast Track final implementation plan was published last week for public comment, and the plan is to have the Board authorize it at the Seoul meeting (end of this month).

So, this is the last chance to have a look and have your say before it actually happens. You can find all the information you should need for that process at http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-2-30sep09-en.htm.

Public comment periods
As usual in the build-up to a meeting, we have a raft of public comment periods. Ignoring the ones for the Applicant Guidebook and Fast Track, both of which are mentioned above, we have also opened comment periods on:

• A root-scaling study by TNO
• The use of proxy services for domain registration i.e. people paying to ensure their personal details do not appear publicly as the owner of a particular domain name
• Board review final report i.e. the changes to be made to the Board itself as part of the ongoing independent review process
• SSAC review report – same as Board report above but not as far along in the process
• NomCom review report – same as SSAC above

Seoul meeting
Why we have this glut of material is, of course, the upcoming Seoul meeting at the end of October.

With respect to the meeting itself, there are several other pieces of information:

• The agenda is live - check it out to see what is going on, when and who will be speaking
• If you can’t attend, you can ask questions in the public forum online
• If you haven’t see it yet, the meeting has its own website at http://sel.icann.org

And the remainder
And there’s still more:

• Nairobi fellowship applications
• A new process for registry security requests
• A bulk transfer advisory

Hopefully that helps breaks down the work into manageable chunks. If you still have queries, please add them as a comment below.

ICANN ha firmado un documento de afirmación con el Departamento de Comercio de los Estados Unidos. Este acuerdo es histórico ya que valida el modelo de ICANN de una vez por todas y a nivel internacional.

Cuando ICANN fue creada hace más de una década, nació como una organización fragil y experimental. Su evolución se verificaba mediante un Memorandum de Entendimiento con el gobierno de Estados Unidos para supervisar su evolución. Hubo 7 enmiendas a dicho MoU y la última se conoce como el “Joint Project Agreement” o JPA.

Con el documento de afirmación, el JPA y el proceso del MoU llegan a su fin. Ya no hay una aceptación “tentativa” al modelo de ICANN y la supervisión ya no estará a cargo de un solo gobierno.

El documento de afirmación, firmado el 30 de septiembre, no tiene fecha de expiración, institucionaliza el modelo “multi-stakeholder”, basado en el sector privado y con procesos de creación de políticas de abajo hacia arriba. ICANN se constituye hoy como una organización que responde a la comunidad global de Internet.

Ustedes, la comunidad, tienen ahora, más que nunca, la gran responsabilidad de llamar a ICANN a rendir cuentas y de evitar cualquier desvío del camino del interés público.

Aquí podrán leer la transcripción del video de Rod Beckstrom, el nuevo CEO de ICANN, en español (y en otros idiomas).
