Thanks Glen.
Just curioius, when is the next regional meeting of the non-contracting
parties scheduled? Many of us would be very interested to have some of
these same discussions and staff presentations, without the contracting
parties around. Such meetings might surely enhance knowledge and foster
better cooperation between ICANN and its NON-contracted stakeholders.
AK >> You would all have to be funded to go right ;) I do agree that the
meetings should be more open and should have been broadcast for greater
participation. It is my opinion that they should not be termed North American
Ry/Rr Meetings but potentially "Registry/ Registrar Updates". I think it is
important to hold these meetings to discuss topics specific to these groups.
Really, are these regional meetings really necessary when there are 3 ICANN
meetings a year already? And the contracting parties constantly and
ubiquitously complaining about travel funding for ICANN Staff and
volunteers??
AK >> As I said above, I believe they are - especially at this time of flux.
For the record I do not believe the Registrars have an issue with the funding
of staff travel.
Also, no mention of the Afilias-sponsored Major League Baseball game in this
note, but is it a conflict of interest for contract parties to provide perks
to ICANN Staff? (I presume some were sponsored, but I do not know.) If so,
should they be publicly disclosed somewhere? Is there a policy on that?
Just curious, as it seems there ought to be one if there's not.
AK >>This is a concern. I would assume only Registrars (the clients of Afilias)
were invited. If any ICANN staff attended I would agree that it is
inappropriate. I note that whenever there have been dinners or gatherings in
the past that ICANN staff have always paid their way. Perhaps someone from
staff could elaborate here.
Thanks,
Mike

Toronto Presentations Published
25 August 2009
On 20-21 August 2009, ICANN hosted its North American Registry/Registrar
Regional Event in Toronto, Ontario. Remote participation for the event was
made available via Adobe Connect and an audio conference bridge.
The regional event model was introduced in 2006 as a means to inform and
educate gTLD registries and ICANN-accredited registrars about ICANN
activities and processes that may impact their operations. These events also
broaden participation in the ICANN multi-stakeholder governance model for
registry and registrar staff members who do not generally attend ICANN's
annual public meetings. ICANN subject matter experts facilitated discussions
on issues such as gTLD registry continuity, contractual compliance, new
gTLDs, GNSO policy activities, security initiatives, the 2009 Registrar
Accreditation Agreement, and the terminated registrar transition process.
Such discussions enhance knowledge and foster better cooperation between
ICANN and its contracted stakeholders.
The Toronto event also featured a session on registry/registrar areas of
interest that was facilitated by David Maher, Chair, Registry Constituency,
and Mason Cole, Chair, Registrar Constituency. The chairs co-led a
discussion about how the two groups might work better together on joint
areas of interest such as electing leaders for the GNSO Council and engaging
in discussions when new registry service requests, submitted via the
Registry Services Evaluation Process (RSEP), have the potential to impact
registrars.
In the interest of transparency, the presentations are being made public.
