DESCRIPTION:The Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy (IRTP) Part C Policy Devel
 opment Process Working Group is tasked to consider the following questions
  and make recommendations to the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GN
 SO) Council:\na) "Change of Control" function\, including an investigation
  of how this function is currently achieved\, if there are any applicable 
 models in the country-code name space that can be used as a best practice 
 for the gTLD space\, and any associated security concerns. It should also 
 include a review of locking procedures\, as described in Reasons for Denia
 l #8 and #9\, with an aim to balance legitimate transfer activity and secu
 rity.\nb) Whether provisions on time-limiting Form Of Authorization (FOA)s
  should be implemented to avoid fraudulent transfers out. For example\, if
  a Gaining Registrar sends and receives an FOA back from a transfer contac
 t\, but the name is locked\, the registrar may hold the FOA pending adjust
 ment to the domain name status\, during which time the registrant or other
  registration information may have changed.\nc) Whether the process could 
 be streamlined by a requirement that registries use IANA IDs for registrar
 s rather than proprietary Ids.\nThis is an open Working Group meeting and 
 part of the meeting will be dedicated to obtaining community input and fee
 dback on the charter questions under consideration.

  Choice\, and Competition Drafting Team (CCTC-DT)\nThe Consumer Metrics Wo
 rking Group produced a draft Advice Letter defining Consumer\, Consumer Tr
 ust\, Consumer Choice\, & Competition at the request of the ICANN Board Re
 solution (2010.12.10.30) to Supporting Organizations (SOs) and Advisory Co
 mmittees (ACs).\nThe Working Group began regular meetings after the Singap
 ore meeting in June 2011.  Working Group members drafted a charter for con
 sideration by any and all community groups form whom the board solicited a
 dvice.   The Charter was approved by the GNSO on 7 September 2011 and is a
 vailable here.  In addition to its bi-weekly conference calls\, the workin
 g group held public discussion sessions at the Singapore and Dakar meeting
 s\, including presentations of preliminary results.  \nThis initial draft 
 of advice was approved by the Working Group on 22 February 2012 and forwar
 ded to ICANN staff to post for public comment.  The Draft Advice Letter co
 ntains the process by which the Working Group defined the key terms and fo
 rmulated the metrics per each definition including the source and proposed
  three year targets.\nThe session in Costa Rica intends to brief the commu
 nity on the draft advice to compliment the public comment period.  Given t
 he quantity and complexity of the proposed definitions and their respectiv
 e metrics\, it is strongly recommended that community members who plan to 
 attend this session review the draft advice letter.  The latest version ca
 n be found on the public comment web page.  http://www.icann.org/en/news/p

DESCRIPTION:A little more than a year ago\, in February 2011\, the last fi
 ve IPv4 /8s were allocated to the RIRs. Barely three months later\, APNIC\
 , the Regional Internet Registry for the Asia Pacific region\, was down to
  its last /8. In contrast LACNIC has over three and a half /8s left but th
 ose 60m addresses are not sufficient for the Internet penetration goals of
  the governments and people of Latin America. Widespread Internet penetrat
 ion thus relies on IPv6 deployment.\nThis session will look at the resourc
 es available to ISPs and other networks in the region and the rate of IPv4
  and IPv6 deployment. It will then look at the deployment issues for domai
 n registries and ISPs as well as looking at the broader picture from the p
 erspective of telecommunications regulation.\nThis session was coordinated
  by ICANN and LACNIC in order to reach out all sections of the multi-stake
 holder Internet community with timely information and recent experience.\n
 Who Should Attend?\n\nContent providers\nInternet Access Providers\nGovern
 ment representatives\nTelecommunications regulators\nAnyone interested in

DESCRIPTION:In this interactive session\, a panel of speakers will&nbsp\; 
 speak to the variety of proposals regarding&nbsp\; the perceived need for 
 defensive registrations of new gTLDs.\nThe New gTLD Program features caref
 ully crafted\, new protections for trademark owners and consumers. When co
 nsidering applications for new top-level names\, the process is designed t
 o protect these important interests through independent objection and disp
 ute resolution processes (and other processes). However now that the new g
 TLD application window has opened\, parties have stated their perception t
 hat they will need to submit "defensive" gTLD applications as a means to p
 rotect their trademarks. ICANN has sought public comment on the sources of
  this perception and how it can be addressed.\nWho should attend? Those in
 terested in the New gTLD Program and have an interest in potential defensi
 ve registrations.\nPublic Comment Summary on Defensive Applications for Ne
