<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="color:black">The GNSO Council previously considered when to request a Policy Status Report (“PSR”) for the purpose of conducting a review of the two Expiration Policies, the Expired Domain Name Deletion
Policy (“EDDP”) and the Expired Registration Recovery Policy (“ERRP”). In November 2020, given concerns about its capacity and no known issues with the policies, the Council agreed to delay the request for the Policy Status Report (PSR) for a period of 24
months. After 24 months had passed, the Council reconsidered whether it was an appropriate time to request a PSR. </span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="color:black">To that end, in July 2022, the Council agreed that it would be helpful to consult with both registrars and ICANN org to help determine if there are any known issues or concerns with either
of the two Expiration Policies which could warrant requesting a PSR. </span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="color:black">In making its decision whether to request to a PSR at this time, the Council consulted:</span><u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:8.0pt;background:white"><span style="color:black">In reviewing these materials, the Council determined that the EDDP and ERRP seem to have been implemented as intended and imminent policy work is not needed at this time.
Accordingly, the GNSO Council will reconsider a PSR on the Expiration Policies in two years time, or earlier, if a need is determined and it is requested.</span><u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="color:black">The GNSO Council was made aware of a potential issue whereby future applied-for strings in the Latin script containing diacritics may be confusingly similar to ASCII strings, are non-variants,
and the same entity wishes to operate both strings. </span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="color:black">For background, an applied-for IDN gTLD string in the Latin script containing diacritics, which is NOT an allocatable variant label of the base ASCII string (existing or applied-for) according
to RZ-LGR, are sometimes seen as equivalents. In some instances, however, the base ASCII string is seen as a workaround and not necessarily “correct”. The base ASCII string and the Latin diacritic string may be determined to be confusingly similar (i.e., in
which case, the strings would be placed in a contention set or if an existing gTLD is involved, the applied-for label would not pass the String Similarity Review).</span><u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="color:black">Over the course of several months in 2021, the GNSO Council discussed how it could best approach the GNSO’s work that is focused on structural, procedural, and process improvements, and
specifically not policy development. Notably, this work affects the GNSO community more broadly, and not just the GNSO Council. Given concerns about workload and the efficacy of the approach to this portfolio of work, the GNSO Council
<a href="https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions/2020-current#202106" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer"><span style="color:#1155cc">resolved</span></a> on 16 June 2021 to initiate the Council Committee for Overseeing and Implementing Continuous Improvement (“CCOICI”) Framework as a pilot
and to reevaluate the Framework after the conclusion of its tasks. The pilot handled the following assigned tasks: 1) GNSO Working Group Self-Assessment Requirements; 2) GNSO Statement of Interest (SOI) Requirements; and 3) Assessment of Accountability Work
Stream 2 Requirements.</span><u></u><u></u></p>

<span style="color:#1155cc">survey</span></a> to all relevant ICANN Community Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies during 1 February-5 March 2024. In administering this survey, the CCOICI assessed the views of each SG/C to evaluate if the Council and GNSO
community see value in continuing the use of the CCOICI Framework and if needed, determine how it could be improved. If the survey results noted a significant issue, this should be the trigger to initiate appropriate measures to deal with such issues. </span><u></u><u></u></p>
