Starting from the WSIS in Tunis in 2005, CENTR members have welcomed the opportunity to ducate the various stakeholders on several matters related to the management of the domain name system within the Internet Governance Forum framework. https://www.centr.org/main/lib/g8/5171-CTR.html European Internet Governance meeting calls for oversight role for IGF by Brenden Kuerbis Reports are emerging from European Dialogue on Internet Governance (EuroDIG), one of the regional Internet Governance Forum events, of calls for a greater role for the IGF in monitoring Internet governance institutions. During a plenary session held today, "The post-JPA phase: towards a future Internet governance model," there was discussion amongst the European governments and other participants about the role of the IGF in contributing to ICANN's accountability. http://blog.internetgovernance.org/blog/_archives/2009/9/15/4322423.html ********************** DOMAIN NAMES ********************** ********************** - ICANN ********************** Advance Notice: Board Committee Public Session; Discussion of public participation and document publication operational policy The ICANN Board Public Participation Committee (PPC) will be holding a special public session on Monday 5 October at 15:00 UTC to discuss the Committee's work, focusing in particular on the Document Publication Operational Policy currently out for public comment. http://icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-18sep09-en.htm Release of Interisle and TNO reports on Root Scaling In February 2009, with Resolution 2009-02-03-04, the ICANN Board requested the Root Server System Advisory Committee (RSSAC), the Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC), and the ICANN staff, including the IANA team, to study the potential issues regarding the addition of IDNs, IPv6 addresses, DNSSEC and substantial numbers of new TLDs to the root zone. http://icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-2-18sep09-en.htm Update: Lamar Smith and Howard Coble Letter to ICANN Yesterday DNW wrote about a letter that House Judiciary Committee members Lamar Smith and Howard Coble sent to ICANN CEO Rod Beckstrom. This letter covers the roll out of new gTLDs and the expiration of ICANN’s joint project agreement with the U.S. Government. http://domainnamewire.com/2009/09/17/update-lamar-smith-and-howard-coble-letter-to-icann/ Expect ICANN's Planned Rollout of New gTLDs to Be Delayed Again ICANN plans to begin its rollout of an unlimited number of new gTLDs in the first quarter of 2010 but I am hearing that behind the scenes developments make it very likely that you won't see any new extensions before the 2nd quarter of next year, at the earliest. That forecast doesn't even take into account another potential roadblock for ICANN that arose when two of the U.S. House Judiciary Committee's top Republicans, Lamar Smith and Howard Coble, wrote a letter to new ICANN CEO Rod Beckstrom Tuesday expressing concerns about the proposed introduction of a deluge new top-level domains. http://dnjournal.com/archive/lowdown/2009/dailyposts/20090917.htm A new ICANN-Commerce Department deal: Does the public get to comment? by Milton Mueller It is no secret that ICANN and the U.S. Commerce Department are engaged in intensive negotations over the future of their relationship as we approach the expiration of the current Joint Project Agreement. We have no inside information about what will happen, but we do suspect that there will be some kind of a new agreement that breaks some new ground. We have already seen the U.S. Congress openly ask for some kind of permanent charter or agreement (which of course we think would be a mistake) and such a new agreement could have long term consequences. Shouldn't ICANN's constituencies and participants be allowed to have their say before ICANN itself signs on to it? http://blog.internetgovernance.org/blog/_archives/2009/9/16/4323540.html Congress to Beckstrom: Congratulations! Now Answer Our Questions! On September 15th two senior Republican members of the House Judiciary Committee, Lamar Smith and Howard Coble, dispatched a letter to ICANN CEO Rod Beckstrom.
