[NCUC-EC] FW: Proposed program outline for ICANN 77 workshoip

[Ken Herman]

Hello Fellow EC members.

 

Milton arranged a conference call this morning with Benjamin, Julf, Farzaneh
and me, to discuss the ICANN77 events we have been planning. Milton
intervened since he observed that we were not getting any response from my
e-mails regarding how to move forward, and for that I am thankful.

 

Besides some discussion of the status of funding from PIR, which remains
unclear, Milton also agreed to propose a programme for a non-commercial
session at ICANN77, and that is what you see below. We should discuss this
at our EC meeting tomorrow.

 

Ken

Theme: 

Access to DNS in the Age of Sanctions and Trade Barriers

 

This workshop will examine the way nation-state power conflicts erect
barriers to global internet access, focusing on DNS. It would cover topics
such as how sanctions affect the provision of DNS services, how ICANN's
global policies and contracts intersect with foreign policy pressures, and
how certain forms of social media regulations affect Internet access
throughout the world. It will explore how Noncommercial stakeholders in the
ICANN environment can address those problems.

 

Invited Speakers:

* Farzaneh Badiei, Digital Medusa on her sanctions work

* Alan Davidson or Susan Chalmers, NTIA, on U.S. OFAC and its relationship
to ICANN

* Someone from ICANN legal on implementation of Workstream 2 (general OFAC
license)

* Greg Nojeim from CDT

* Milton Mueller, GT IGP on the TikTok ban

* Kathleen Burke from Public Knowledge kathleen at publicknowledge.org
<mailto:kathleen at publicknowledge.org>  on DNS access restrictions from
copyright and trademark interests

* Invite PIR to address sanctions

* TWNIC on cross-strait barriers to Internet access in Asia

 

There would be 4 15-minute presentations from key speakers (Badiei,
Davidson, ICANN, Mueller) would be followed by a roundtable discussion
featuring: 

*	Nojeim, CDT
*	PIR
*	TWNIC
*	Public Knowledge or EFF
*	Others?
