ICANN Demand You Sign Waiver to Attend Meeting

April 1, 2022 by Michele Neylon 1 Comment

ICANN's upcoming meeting in June, which I mentioned earlier, is due to be held in person in The Hague. In order to attend you will need to register online in advance. That's not so odd. What is, however, is the very broad sweeping waiver they expect you to agree to. I'm not a lawyer, but I have had to review hundreds of contracts and agreements over the past 20 odd … [Read more...] about ICANN Demand You Sign Waiver to Attend Meeting

Vaccinations & Face Masks Required for ICANN Meeting

April 1, 2022 by Michele Neylon 1 Comment

ICANN is going ahead with its Hague meeting in June as a "hybrid" event. It'll be the first "in person" ICANN meeting since autumn of 2019, so I suspect it will be quite busy, even though traditionally the "policy forum" meetings aren't the most popular of the three annual meetings. The venue for the meeting is The World Forum in the Hague. Amsterdam's Schipol airport is a … [Read more...] about Vaccinations & Face Masks Required for ICANN Meeting

ICANN Releases Open Source RDAP Compliance Tool

February 3, 2022 by Michele Neylon

ICANN Logo

ICANN has released the code for an RDAP conformance tool. The tool was developed for ICANN by Viagénie, who had already released a mobile RDAP client. It's good to see that the code is being released as open source under an Apache license. Both registries and registrars in the gTLD world are contractually obliged to run RDAP servers. Eventually these will replace whois … [Read more...] about ICANN Releases Open Source RDAP Compliance Tool

ICANN Appoints John Crain CTO

January 19, 2022 by Michele Neylon

ICANN Logo

ICANN has appointed John Crain as CTO. Okay, his official job title is more of a mouthful: ICANN Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer As far as I can tell he's been filling the role on an interim basis since the departure of David Conrad last year. For the last couple of years Crain was ICANN's Chief Security, Stability, and Resiliency Officer (CSSRO). … [Read more...] about ICANN Appoints John Crain CTO

ICANN Continues Virtual Meetings Ahead of Hybrid Switch

November 8, 2021 by Michele Neylon

ICANN Logo

(Republishing due to a technical issue!) ICANN has announced that their first public meeting of 2022 will not be "in person" and that they will stick to the "virtual" format. They have, however, stated that they want their June meeting, which is scheduled to be held in The Hague, to take place with a "hybrid" format. ICANN is notoriously conservative, so this … [Read more...] about ICANN Continues Virtual Meetings Ahead of Hybrid Switch

ICANN Expands Contractual Waiver for Security Issues to Registrars

August 17, 2021 by Michele Neylon

ICANN Logo

ICANN has announced that they are expanding the scope of contractual waivers for security issues to include registrars. That's a bit of a mouthful, so I'll try to unpack it a bit. Under normal circumstances both registrars and registries are bound by ICANN policies and contractual obligations. In simple terms this means that they only register and manage domain names when … [Read more...] about ICANN Expands Contractual Waiver for Security Issues to Registrars

ICANN Extends Travel Ban For Staff But Seattle Could Proceed

May 29, 2021 by Michele Neylon

We are now well over a year into a global pandemic. While the vaccine rollout in some parts of the world has been going well we are still a very long way off a full return to any semblance of normality. Many countries are still imposing travel restrictions, both on their own citizens as well as travellers to those countries. It's not surprising that ICANN has officially … [Read more...] about ICANN Extends Travel Ban For Staff But Seattle Could Proceed

No ICANN Face to Face Events Until After June

April 3, 2021 by Michele Neylon

Göran Marby

In a move that surprised absolutely nobody ICANN has formally extended their "travel ban" until the end of June 2021. Realistically I suspect that the suspension of travel and face to face events is going to be extended beyond June. In a blog post ICANN CEO Göran Marby outlined briefly the current state of play with respect to events, meetings and the ICANN offices. … [Read more...] about No ICANN Face to Face Events Until After June
