<div dir="ltr">Bonjour Alain, ,<div><br></div><div><div class="gmail_quote">2011/10/12 Alain Berranger <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:alain.berranger@gmail.com">alain.berranger@gmail.com</a>></span><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
I'm concerned about the first round of gTLD finally going forward with so many of the details in JAS issues unresolved, recognizing any further delay is undesirable. The work of the JAS needs to be continued with a much broader participation so as to enrich the debate and the perspectives. </blockquote>
<div><br></div><div>wearing here the hat of co-chair of JAS WG I want to give some clarification about JAS works: the final report was approved by both GNSO and ALAC and sent by them to board (thanks again to everybody who worked hard during this summer to achieve that), a public comment period about the report for ICANN community is going to be opened soon, so comments are warmly welcome . Moreover, the ICANN staff should work on the implementation plan to be proposed for board consideration, some important decision in that regard are expected from board during Dakar meeting about JAS recommendations especially because the context and host country. </div>
<div>regarding JAS continuation, there was already some discussion in topics like encouraging registrars activities in developing regions (raised by comments during ICANN meeting in Singapore) but also there is expected work about implementation plan itself (the recommendations are not limited to application period starting in next January)</div>
<div>for remind, any GNSO WG is open to everybody, and we got new people the last months even if it is sometimes hard for newcomers to catch ongoing discussions.</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
<div> </div><div>Finally, domain name security and transparency of ICANN's work will dominate the issues over the next few years. To increase the quality of the debate of these issues, we must bring new voices (more youth, more women, more developing world voices) and the new skills and mindsets they bring to increase the quality of the external and internal oversight and governance of ICANN's work. More young members will increase the capacity to understand and combat gaming, fraud, abuse, cyber squatting, etc... </div>
</blockquote><div><br></div><div>nice to hear about bringing youth, I heard that many times in different Internet Governance fora but the reality is far from that discourse. I am young person (at least according to UN definition :)) and from developing country, I am quite doubtful when I see some icann constituencies dominated by western (to avoid saying north american) adults talking about diversity :) but at least in NCSG it has already young people involved and joined us these last months even if it is not easy to participate in ICANN because it is increasing complexity .</div>
<div><br></div><div>about security issues, I am participating at the DNS security and stability WG and even if we are at the beginning stage, the definition of threats and etc is not easy while I find that many people in ICANN community for several reasons have confusion about "cybercrime" and other "threats" (I like the title of usual workshop in ICANN meeting called "DNS abuses", maybe the DNS can be abused by not really by "cybercriminals"...)</div>
<div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"><div>Processes must be transparent and appear to be transparent and we should encourage open external and internal reviews of all kinds to raise the confidence level in the organization and its processes. This is true of the staffed organization processes but also the processes of the constituencies.</div>
</blockquote><div><br></div><div>for transparency and accountability, the effort started with AT review team set-up last year if I recall correctly, but a lot of work remain and the board must be more keen to apply the different recommendations that it got from the different reviews and studies.</div>
