Thanks all, As mentioned during the call on subgroups, would suggest that a ‘subgroup’ be formed for those interested to discuss this topic in depth. The subgroup can then be the lead for our next APAC Space in sharing about this topic, and highlighting areas of interest particularly for the APAC region. Following the sharing/presentation, we will continue with the community discussion, which Edmon can facilitate as usual (unless there are other takers). So in this case if we’re going for Data Privacy/Protection, within this mailing list those interested can form a subgroup. If required, I can provide a call bridge/adobe connect for this subgroup to discuss or share information in depth (although Skype or a group chat might be more nimble for a smaller group), and also to plan what to share at the next APAC Space. Then at the next APAC Space this subgroup will be our community leads to highlight this topic. If this works then this might be the way to increase volunteerism for future APAC Space sessions. Different people would be interested/involved in different topics, so as the topics change we will have different people come forward to take the lead. My 2 cents for consideration please.

Rather than penning down how many possible subgroups we might need, lets leave it open to a request and support system. If we have jot down a list of how many sub groups we might need, then many people might get confused and not know what to join or why. I also fear we might be exhausting resources on trying to formulate a subgroup where there is a lack of interest. If we were a specific interest group with a similar objective, then that would probably work. However, this is a community forum, rather than a stakeholder group mailing list. Our interests and positions are very different from each other but can be grouped together when there is an overlap of interests between the different parties. I just think a simpler approach would be best rather than going all out at once. Regards, Michael Flemming On Thu, May 18, 2017 at 2:38 PM, Rohit Yadav <ry(a)internetandme.org> wrote:Dear All, I support the sub group concept.  Just before moving forward I would like to suggest to Jia, Edmon and all active members to pen down the name (and numbers) of sub group(s) which we might need. For example. (i) sub group for TLD discuss(ii) sub group for policy process..After this we can ask the enthusiastic people to opt for their discussion point which group they feel comfortable to join.

Notes & Recording for APAC Space Web Conference - 18 May 2017
by Joyce Chen 22 May '17

22 May '17

Dear friends and colleagues, Thank you for an engaging discussion at the recent APAC Space web conference on 18 May 2017. The notes of discussion can be found on the APAC Space community wiki page: https://community.icann.org/display/GSEAPAC/Notes+from+18+May+2017+APAC+Spa…. The notes have also been appended below for easy reference. Thank you. Warm Regards, Joyce Chen GSE Strategy & Development Senior Manager Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Direct Line: +65 6816 1287 Mobile: +65 8338 8653 Email: joyce.chen(a)icann.org<mailto:joyce.chen@icann.org> Skype: joyce.chen.icann www.icann.org<http://www.icann.org> Enc. Notes on 18 May 2017 APAC Space web conference<https://community.icann.org/display/GSEAPAC/Notes+from+18+May+2017+APAC+Spa…> The APAC Space web conference meeting was attended by 26 participants from the region, including registries, registrars, at-large community, business stakeholders, and ICANN Fellows. The meeting discussed the results of the APAC Space Survey 2017 and directions for future discussion topics. Key action items as a follow-up to the meeting include: * For community members who have not joined, to join the APAC Space community mailing list by subscribing to: discuss(a)tld.asia<mailto:discuss@tld.asia>. * Suggest on the mailing list key discussion topics/issues for “Domain Name Industry: Market and Relevant policies”. * Explore the formation of “sub-groups” based on key topics of interest. The sub-group will consist of volunteer community members who wish to discuss an issue in depth. Discussion on this will take place on the aforementioned mailing list. The meeting recording<https://participate.icann.org/p1vpcikmx2c> and presentation slides<https://community.icann.org/display/GSEAPAC/APAC+Space?preview=/58738421/66…> can be found at the APAC Space Community Wiki webpage here: https://community.icann.org/display/GSEAPAC/APAC+Space. Introduction Jia-Rong Low, VP and Managing Director, ICANN Asia Pacific and Edmon Chung, CEO DotAsia, welcomed the participants. Results of APAC Space Survey 2017 The APAC Space Survey 2017 sought the views and feedback of APAC community members on their discussion interests for APAC Space. Results from the survey would be used to plan future APAC Space sessions by aligning community interests. Based on a total of 56 survey responses, APAC community members highlighted their top interests in the following: * Broad themes related to: * Domain Name System (DNS) Industry and Market Developments; * Enhancing Multistakeholder Cooperation; and * Enabling Users in an Inclusive and Open Internet Environment * ICANN Policy Development Processes (PDP) for: * New gTLD Subsequent Procedures; and * Next-Generation gTLD Registration Directory Services (RDS) * ICANN-related topics dealing with: * Domain Name Industry’s market and relevant policies; * Competition, Consumer Trust & Consumer Choice (CCT) Review; * Cross-Community Working Group (CCWG) on Internet Governance * Accountability & Transparency Review * Cross-Community Working Group (CCWG)- Accountability Work Stream 2 * Other topics such as: * Capacity building; * Universal Acceptance, * ICANN’s role in AP* (Asia Pacific Internet Organizations) activities From the survey, it was also noted that challenges to participation in ICANN policy work faced by respondents included: * timezone issues; * discussions taking up too much of personal time; * lack of knowledge in the subject matter; * uncertainty on how to participate; and * respondents – even current participants – also faced steep learning curves when participating in ICANN PDP working groups. Community Discussion * APAC engagement strategy; APAC Space goal and budget. To questions regarding the goal and budget of APAC Space, and the APAC engagement strategy, Jia-Rong Low (ICANN) shared that the APAC engagement strategy was shared during the ICANN Quarterly Stakeholder Report Call for FY17 Q1 (recording link: https://participate.icann.org/p6mwvdfrc1i/ and related presentation: https://www.icann.org/quarterlyreports) In short, there were two key components to the APAC engagement strategy: first, to enhance community participation in ICANN; and second, to contribute to a secure, stable, and resilient unique identifier ecosystem. APAC Space (as a regional platform) and ICANN Readout sessions (as a localised platform) were two ways to facilitate community’s participation in ICANN. As these initiatives were meant to be community-led, utilisation of the APAC budget was kept flexible to help facilitate the community as best as possible. * ICANN Readout. Community members who had participated in local ICANN Readout sessions were encouraged to share their experiences during APAC Space with the APAC community. Pam Little (Alibaba) briefly updated on the ICANN Readout in Beijing post-ICANN58 (Copenhagen). Local ICANN Readouts, which target interests of local communities, are complementary to APAC Space as a regional platform. Currently, ICANN Readout sessions are regularly conducted in China, India, and Japan after every ICANN meeting. Conducting a readout would require volunteers from the local community to partner ICANN Organisation and lead community discussions. In this regard, the question of how could volunteerism in APAC Space be increased was discussed. * Rotation of future APAC Space sessions. Based on the survey results, the meeting agreed to rotate topics every APAC Space session – DNS industry, PDP, and review. It was agreed that should a topic of interest come up at any time, there should be flexibility for this topic to be inserted over the earlier planned topic. * APAC Space sub-groups/special interest groups. To increase the depth of discussions at APAC Space given the diversity of APAC community interests, participants suggested forming smaller sub-groups in APAC Space to discuss particular topics in-depth prior to APAC Space. The sub-groups could be lead discussants for their topic and present the issue during APAC Space for the wider APAC community. Having smaller sub-groups could also increase volunteerism and community participation in future APAC Space sessions. These sub-group discussions should not replace the contribution to ICANN policy work but should instead facilitate deeper discussions, and help to inform community of the policy issues. For instance, the meeting agreed to discuss data privacy/protection at the next APAC Space web conference. A community sub-group, consisting of a small number of volunteers, would be formed to have in-depth discussions on this topic. The sub-group would then present their discussions and areas of interest during APAC Space to facilitate the wider APAC community in understanding the issue, as well as note areas of interest particularly for this region. Following the sub-group presentation, Edmon Chung (DotAsia) could then facilitate community discussion on the topic. It was agreed for community members to discuss further regarding the formation of sub-groups. Community members are encouraged to join the APAC Space community mailing list by subscribing to discuss(a)tld.asia<mailto:discuss@tld.asia>. * “Data Privacy/Protection” as next APAC Space topic. Community proposed “data privacy/protection” as the topic of discussion for the next APAC Space web conference. Sebastien Ducos (Neustar) from Registries Stakeholder Group (RySG) was recommended as a potential speaker. A community member raised that data privacy/protection was a broad topic and was already being discussed by contracted parties (Registries Stakeholder Group and Registrars Stakeholder Group). Hence, discussion at APAC Space could be kept general for the purpose of increasing awareness on the issue, while each organization should seek their own legal advice to ensure compliance with EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and/or other data privacy/protection laws. AOB Due to schedule conflicts at the ICANN59 Policy Forum (Johannesburg), the next APAC Space will be held in web conference format in early-July 2017. Date to be confirmed.

[Tld_discuss] creating subgroups for APAC Space
by Edmon Chung 18 May '17

18 May '17

Hi Everyone, Following up from the discussion we just had on the APAC Space call, there seems to be interest to create more focused subgroups within APAC Space to have more indepth discussions about issues. Perhaps the first 2 questions are: 1. What subgroups should there be? 2. Who would like to be in that group? Edmon

Hi Michael, I have no objection if the group wishes to cover this topic for the purpose of raising awareness. My experience is that there is a lot of general information available online and lots of discussions within the ICANN community. But when it comes to compliance with GDPR or other privacy/data protection laws, the devil is in the detail. So even though there are many so-called "experts" in privacy laws, few are familiar with the domain industry, let alone each registry's or registrar's idiosyncracies. And in the case of China, there are additional complexities.

[Tld_discuss] privacy laws and impact on domain industry
by Edmon Chung 18 May '17

18 May '17

Hi Everyone, Also following up on our discussions on the APAC Space call, for our next meeting, it seems there is consensus around interest to talk about privacy and how it impacts the domain business. As also discussed, the topic is broad and for more fruitful discussion perhaps a more narrowly defined topic may be useful. Here are just some ideas to get the discussion started: - public WHOIS and privacy laws - collection of data and transfer of personal data in the process of domain registration - ICANN gTLD requirements and contravention of privacy laws - ... Thoughts/ideas/comments please :-) Edmon
