https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McuNTPTasj4
1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:14,000 I was a member of the non-commercial stakeholder group in the GNSO, and you know, that's supposed to be the home of civil society, academics, you know, not-for-profit organizations, that kind of thing.
2 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:21,000 I got involved in several policy issues over the years.
3 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:27,000 My main focus was on GTLD registration data and privacy and GTLD registration data.
4 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:36,000 So most recently, I was a member of the EPDP team that was supposed to bring who is policy into compliance with GDPR.
5 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:50,000 I was a member of the GNSO Council for a while, and I helped author, I think, a lot of the GNSO's operating procedures and working group guidelines that are still in use today.
6 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:59,000 They ended over the years, but a lot of what we did, what I contributed to still exists.
7 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:08,000 I was also on staff for a short period. I was on the policy team working for Marika Konings, if you know her.
8 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:16,000 So yeah, that was about a year, but it didn't work out as great as I would have hoped it would.
9 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:30,000 And since then, I've been doing consulting work for contracted parties. I also got a job with a back-end registry operator for a while, but I'm doing independent consulting again now.
Danko Jevtovic[edit | edit source]
In this interview, Danko Jevtovic shares some of the history of the domain names industry in Serbia.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGlJ85_T5PM
1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:13,000 It was a longer way than actually I was at the first I can meeting because I used to be a techie and an entrepreneur and a partner in Internet Service Provider firm in Serbia.
2 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:26,000 And we had a problem of domain names, because it was that you use domain names, but there was no organization behind that kind of; it was very difficult to register a domain name.
3 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:37,000 You have one domain name for a legal entity zone. And in a way we saw in our business that if you want to grow, we need the more local content to bring people to do it to Serbian content.
4 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:42,000 And domain names are enablers to do for people to get to the content.
5 00:00:42,000 --> 00:01:03,000 And that's how I got you into this story. And it was, we started the 90s, 96, even beginning of year 2000, end of 2000, in these years, a lot of things happened in Serbia, political changes, and we saw that probably Yugoslavia will fully dissolved
6 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:24,000 But domain names are still very interesting thing. So I got involved, and I wrote something that I named "Danko's Paper" about how domain names in the new Yugoslavia, now Serbia, should be you know regulated by having a government-independent NGO that will run that for the benefit of the
7 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:34,000 Unitarian users in Serbia. And I, I was one of the people who actually, you know, delivered on that and we created this organization.
8 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:47,000 And so that got me hooked. And at that time I can approve the tariffs for Serbia but there was mostly related, connected to the local environment here was on the Board.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsXDhp1HwCs
1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,520 Do I have a different kind of role in ICANN?
2 00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:05,200 Talking about recent roles,
3 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:09,240 yeah, I'm the chair of CCPDP4 of ccNSO,

6 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:21,520 and we try to develop IDN and ccTLD policy,
7 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,480 especially to the variant management,
8 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,880 and talking about string similarity,
9 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:31,120 talking about retirement policy
10 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:35,360 that's going to happen in the ccTLD regime.
11 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:39,240 And also, I'm the co-Chair of
12 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,640 Label Generation Panel, Chinese label generation panel,
13 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,880 let's develop the label generation rule for ICANN.
15 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:54,560 And I also, in terms of the other constituency,
16 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,760 I work in for the numbers of community,
17 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:01,080 and I'm the secretary council of APNIC,
18 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:05,840 and also I was the Address Council for ASO,
19 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:07,720 (Address Support Organization),
20 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:09,880 that's part of ICANN constituencies.
Mason Cole[edit | edit source]

1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,660 Oh, well, I've been involved in ICANN since the year 2000, that was my first ICANN meeting
2 00:00:05,660 --> 00:00:13,800 was ICANN number eight in Marina Del Rey {e.n.: it was actually ICANN 7}, where I recall that we could fit everybody
3 00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:18,120 in the ICANN meeting into one hotel meeting room.
4 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:27,120 And now, of course, you know, we've got convention centers and multiple hotels and, you know,
5 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:28,760 the thousands of people involved.
6 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:36,280 So it was a different animal when I got involved back in the year 2000, but I first got involved
7 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:45,280 because I was helping a company launch itself, a company called Snap Names, and there was
8 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:50,960 no service at the time that would backorder domain names or otherwise make them available
9 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,560 when they became, you know, when they deleted back into availability.
10 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:57,160 And so I got involved with that company.
11 00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:04,480 And then it's funny because I was not impressed with ICANN as an organization at first, because
12 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:09,840 I thought they were really wound up in policy and procedures and everything else.
13 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,600 They really didn't care about outcomes that much.
14 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:20,880 But the longer I got involved in the ICANN sphere, the more I understood why the ICANN
15 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:22,560 model was valuable.
16 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:28,680 And the next thing you know, I'm involved with a Registrar Stakeholder Group.
17 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,440 And I was Chair of the registrar stakeholder group for a while.
18 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,640 And then I was a GNSO Counsilor for a while.
19 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:39,880 And then I was the first GNSO liaison to the GAC.
20 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,360 And now I'm Chair of the Business Constituency.
21 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:49,160 So, you know, my active involvement in ICANN has gone back for, you know, well more than
22 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,480 a decade now, you know, pushing two decades.
Prudence Malinki[edit | edit source]
In this interview, Prudence Malinki discusses the importance of the social aspect of the ICANN community.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6Lud7415gA
1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,880 The domain sector is such a vibrant, sociable sector.
2 00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:06,160 Everyone, even people who are competing,
3 00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:09,200 they also will sit down and talk and catch up.
4 00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,480 And there's always gossip, there's always like jokes.
5 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,520 There's always something happening and it's vibrant
6 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:16,400 and it's almost alive.
7 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,560 It's not just about sessions and sitting in sessions
8 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,480 and watching people deliver information.
9 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,360 A lot of it is what happens outside of the sessions.
10 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,720 It's the socials, it's the networking,
11 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,080 it's for getting together, coming up with new business ideas,
12 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:34,040 meeting new people, the next generation coming up
13 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,160 and learning and the older generation
14 00:00:36,160 --> 00:00:37,360 and sharing information.
15 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,640 There's like a whole bunch of stuff that happens
16 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:41,920 outside of the traditional stuff.
