*Item 4: COUNCIL VOTE – Adoption of the GNSO of GAC Communiqué for
submission to the ICANN Board (15 minutes)*
The GNSO Council has adopted the practice of providing feedback to the
ICANN Board on matters pertaining to gTLD policy, where the Governmental
Advisory Committee (GAC) has included advice on such matters as part of a
GAC Communique issued at each ICANN Public Meeting. Following the issuance
of the GAC Abu Dhabi Communique (https://gac.icann.org/advice/
communiques/public/gac-60-abu-dhabi-communique.pdf), a team of Councilors
and the current GNSO Liaison to the GAC agreed to prepare an initial draft
of possible GNSO Council input to the Board for Council consideration. This
draft was circulated to the Council mailing list on 20 Nov 2017 (
https://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/review-gac-communique-21nov17-en.pdf).
Here the Council will discuss the draft Council feedback, and vote on
whether or not to approve it for transmission to the ICANN Board.

*Item 5. COUNCIL VOTE – Referral of the privacy and proxy services issue,
related to IRTP-C, to the PPSAI IRT (15 minutes)*
At the request of the Registrars’ Stakeholder Group (RrSG), which raised a
substantive concern regarding the application of Inter-Registrar Transfer
Policy-C (IRTP-C) to privacy and proxy services, the GNSO Council wrote to
the ICANN Board
<https://gnso.icann.org/en/correspondence/bladel-to-crocker-01dec16-en.pdf> to
recommend that the matter be referred to the Privacy/Proxy Services
Accreditation Implementation (PPSAI) Implementation Review Team (IRT) for
consideration before the Policy effective date.
The Board responded on 21 December 2016
<https://gnso.icann.org/en/correspondence/crocker-to-bladel-21dec16-en.pdf> to
note that it was reviewing the Council’s request and in the interim,
directed ICANN Contractual Compliance to defer enforcement of the issue. On
3 February 2017, the Board passed a resolution
<https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2017-02-03-en#1.h>
confirming
its instructions regarding deferral of Contractual Compliance enforcement
and declaring its intention of further discussing the concerns raised by
the GNSO Council at a subsequent meeting.
On 16 March 2017, the Board passed a resolution
<https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2017-03-16-en#1.e>
directing
the ICANN CEO to instruct ICANN staff to work with the RrSG and other
interested parties to determine the appropriate path forward. ICANN Staff
and the RrSG are in agreement that the discussion should be referred to the
PPSAI IRT.
Here, the Council will consider a motion to refer the issue of applying
IRTP-C to privacy and proxy services to the PPSAI IRT for resolution.

<https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions#201706> for selecting the
GNSO representative to the Empowered Community Administration during its
meeting on 28 June 2017. Utilizing that process, the GNSO Council confirmed
on 9 November 2017 that Heather Forrest would serve in interim basis to
represent the GNSO as the Decisional Participant on the Empowered Community
Administration.
Further utilizing that process, the GNSO Council leadership has met and
agreed that Heather Forrest will perform the role of GNSO representative to
the Empowered Community Administration. Here, the Council will vote to

*Item 7: COUNCIL VOTE – Confirmation that modification to the procedure
that implements the Whois conflicts with privacy law policy recommendation
with the Contracted Party Request and Legal Opinion triggers is consistent
with the intent of the policy recommendation (20 minutes) *
As a result of community input and the work of the Implementation Advisory
Group (IAG), ICANN made effective the revised WHOIS Conflicts with Privacy
Law Procedure
<https://whois.icann.org/en/revised-icann-procedure-handling-whois-conflicts-privacy-law>
on
18 April 2017 to better accommodate issues where Whois requirements
conflict with applicable laws.
As requested by this GNSO Council, ICANN published a paper
<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/whois-privacy-conflicts-procedure-03may17-en.pdf>
for public comment
<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/whois-privacy-law-2017-05-03-en> to
provide analysis and solicit community input on the practicality and
feasibility of the triggers identified in the revised WHOIS Conflicts with
Privacy Law Procedure. The public comment period was also intended to
collect suggestions for moving forward with the review. The public comment
period closed on 7 July 2017 and the staff report of public comments
<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/report-comments-whois-privacy-law-28jul17-en.pdf>
was
published on 28 July 2017.
On 1 August 2017, the Council received a letter
<https://gnso.icann.org/en/correspondence/atallah-to-bladel-et-al-01aug17-en.pdf>
from
Akram Atallah, providing a collection of possible options for proceeding
with the review, and offering to discuss those options or others identified
by Council. On 24 August 2017, the Council received an update from GDD
staff and discussed possible options for moving forward with the review of
the Procedure For Handling WHOIS Conflicts with Privacy Law.
The Council has since considered the possible modifications to the
procedure identified in the letter from Akram Atallah. Here, the Council
will vote to confirm that the modifications to the procedure are consistent
with the intent of the policy recommendation.

In January of 2017, the GNSO Council submitted a FY18 additional budget
request
<https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/64066403/FY18%20-%2023%20-%20Community%20Requests%20Template_GNSO%20Council%20Strategic%20Planning%20Session%20Pilot%20Project%20-%20Final%20-%202%20February%202017.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=14>
to
support a 3 day face-to-face strategic planning session in January of 2018.
At a high-level, the purpose of the meetings is to allow for focused and
dedicated sessions to strategically develop a work plan for the upcoming
year. This additional budget request was approved
<https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2017-04-19-en#1.b>
by
the ICANN Board on 19 April 2017. The GNSO Council Strategic Planning

ICANN budget related public comments. The interim GNSO Council Standing

and
2) ICANN Reserve Fund – Public Comment on Rationale and Target Level
<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/reserve-fund-2017-10-12-en> and
