*Item 4: COUNCIL VOTE – In Memory of Stéphane Van Gelder (10 minutes)*
In March of 2018, the Council was informed of *Stéphane Van Gelder’s
passing. *
*Stéphane entered the domain name business in the late 1990s. He served on
the GNSO Council from 2008 through 2012, serving as Vice-Chair in 2010, and
Chair in 2011and 2012. Stéphane had a number of notable achievements while
presiding as Council Chair, including the completion of an extensive update
to the GNSO’s operating procedures, establishment of the DNS Security &
Stability Analysis working group jointly with the ALAC, ccNSO, and NRO,
completion of the Applicant Guidebook for the 2012 New gTLD Program, and
several other important projects. Perhaps most importantly, Stéphane was
well-respected and liked for his passion, fairness, his ability to find the
best in people, and his true gift for uniting people. Stéphane’s passing is
a great loss for many in the ICANN Community that had the pleasure to work
and interact with him. *
*Here, the Council wishes to recognize the significant contributions
Stéphane made to the GNSO Council during his tenure, the wonderful traits
he brought to this world, and how much he will be missed. As well, on
behalf of the current and previous GNSO Councils, we offer our deepest and
heartfelt sympathies to his family and friends at this most difficult time.*

The Co-Chairs of the CCWG-Accountability-WS2 had indicated that the group
would not complete its work in FY17 as originally planned. On 18 May 2017
via its Consent Agenda
<https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions#201705>, the GNSO Council
validated an extension of the mandate and funding for the
CCWG-Accountability-WS2 in FY18.
Here the Council will receive an update from the GNSO appointed co-chair to
the CCWG-Accountability on the status of work and expected timeline for
delivery of the Final Report.

*Item 6: UPDATE – IGO-INGO Access to Curative Rights Protection Mechanisms
(10 minutes)*
The IGO-INGO Access to Curative Rights Protection Mechanisms PDP WG had
been working to resolve a final recommendation relating to IGO
jurisdictional immunity and registrants’ rights to file court proceedings.
During the course of trying to determine consensus on a set of options for
this final recommendation, several WG members challenged the proposed
method for determining initial consensus and appealed via section 3.7 of
the GNSO Working Group Guidelines
<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/annex-1-gnso-wg-guidelines-30jan18-en.pdf>.
Following discussions with the members utilizing the appeal process and the
GNSO chair and the Council liaison to the WG, the Council liaison to the WG
solicited input from the WG members on the set of options under
consideration.
On 19 April 2018, the Council liaison to the WG led a WG call and provided
an update on the input received from WG members, as well as discussed next
steps.
Here, the Council liaison to the WG will update the Council on the status
of the WG.

*[PLACEHOLDER] Item 7: UPDATE – ICANN Board Temporary Policy Proposal (15
minutes)*
On 23 March, the Council received correspondence
<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/chalaby-to-forrest-et-al-23mar18-en.pdf>
from the ICANN Board, suggesting that the ICANN Board meet with Council
leadership and leadership of the RDS PDP WG to discuss the potential impact
on the WG from the finalization of an interim model for compliance with
GDPR.
On 11 April 2018, members of the ICANN Board, Council leadership, and
leadership of the RDS PDP WG met to discuss possible impacts of GDPR on
GNSO policy. Council leadership has prepared a briefing note
<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/gnso-gdpr-rds-briefing-13apr18-en.pdf>
from this meeting and the recording has also been made available.

next steps.

*Item 8: COUNCIL DISCUSSION – Discussion of Updates to the Consensus Policy
Implementation Framework (CPIF) (10 minutes)*
On 24 June 2015, the Council adopted the outputs of the non-PDP Policy and
Implementation WG, which included the Consensus Policy Implementation
Framework (CPIF). The CPIF provides guidance to ICANN Org and the community
for implementing policy and has been in use since its adoption by the GNSO
Council.
As noted in Point H of the CPIF, which directs “ICANN staff [to]
continually review the implementation framework and related materials to
encapsulate additional best-practices or to adjust the steps as a result of
lessons learned with previous Consensus Policy projects,” a
cross-functional group of representatives from ICANN’s GDD and GNSO Policy
Development Support teams have reviewed the Framework, and are proposing a
number of amendments to it for the consideration of the GNSO Council.
On 5 March 2018, a redlined CPIF document and a document detailing a set of
guidelines for ICANN Org to follow when considering engagement in a GNSO
PDP were circulated
<https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2018-March/020976.html> on the
Council email list.
Here, the Council will consider the proposed changes and additional
document developed by ICANN’s GDD and discuss next steps.
8.1 – Presentation of topic (Council Leadership)
8.2 – Council discussion
8.3 – Next steps
*Item 9: COUNCIL DISCUSSION – Review of the Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy
(IRTP) (10 minutes)*
A recommendation from the 2014 Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy (“IRTP”)
Part D PDP Working Group’s Final Report recommended that the GNSO Council,
in conjunction with ICANN Org, “convene a panel to collect, discuss, and
analyze relevant data to determine whether [the policy updates resulting
from the IRTP WGs] have improved the IRTP process and dispute mechanisms,
and identify possible remaining shortcomings.” This review was recommended
to take place 12 months after the IRTP Part D recommendations were
implemented.
On 28 February 2018, ICANN Org sent a letter
<https://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/irtp-to-gnso-council-28feb18-en.pdf> to
the GNSO Council, noting that the updated IRTP went into effect on 1
December 2016 and therefore, the policy was in place for over 12 months.
ICANN Org suggested that a Post-Implementation IRTP Status Report be
generated, offering a framework for that report. The ICANN Org envisions
that the report, if and when drafted, would be published for public
comment. The report and a summary of public comment would be provided to
the GNSO Council, for it to determine next steps. If the Council agreed
with the approach outlined in the letter, ICANN Org had suggested delivery
of the report by *1 May 2018.*
*On 14 March 2018, Council received an update from the ICANN Org and had
subsequent discussion on its email list. The Council has not yet agreed
whether it believes the ICANN Org should undertake the post implementation
analysis on IRTP.*
Here, the Council will continue to consider the proposal and discuss
immediate next steps.
9.1 – Presentation of topic (Council Leadership)
9.2 – Council discussion
9.3 – Next steps
*Item 10: UPDATE – Privacy and Proxy Services Accreditation Issues (PPSAI)
Implementation Review Team (IRT) (10 minutes)*
On 21 January 2016, the GNSO Council adopted
<https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions#201601> the Final Report of
the Privacy and Proxy Services Accreditation Issues (PPSAI) PDP and
requested that an Implementation Review Team (IRT) be established upon
ICANN Board adoption of the PDP recommendations. On 9 August 2016, the
ICANN Board adopted
<https://features.icann.org/gnso-policy-recommendations-privacy-proxy-services-accreditation>
the PDP WG’s Final recommendations.
On 30 November 2017, the GNSO Council resolved
<https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions#201711> that, “The GNSO
Council directs the PPSAI IRT to consider the issue of privacy/proxy
registrations and IRTP Part C as outlined in the annex to the GNSO Council
letter
<https://gnso.icann.org/en/correspondence/bladel-to-crocker-01dec16-en.pdf>…”
The Council also resolved that this work should take place after the PPSAI
IRT comment period.
The PPSAI IRT is scheduled to publish its implementation plan for public
comment in late April or early May of 2018. There is some concern amongst
IRT members that some elements of that implementation plan have strayed
into policy work.
Here, the Council liaison to the WG will provide an update on the status of
the IRT.
10.1 – Update (Darcy Southwell, Council liaison to the IRT)
10.2 – Council discussion
10.3 – Next steps
*Item 11: UPDATE – Joint Timeline of the All Rights Protection Mechanisms
in All gTLDs and New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP WGs (10 minutes)*
The Review of All Rights Protection Mechanisms in All gTLDs PDP WG is the
midst of its Phase 1 review of Rights Protection Mechanisms (RPMs), focused
on those related to the New gTLD Program and the New gTLD Subsequent
Procedures PDP WG is working towards publishing its Initial Report. The
Council has recently discussed the joint timeline of the two PDP WGs and
the extent to which there are dependencies between the two PDP WGs.
Concerns have been raised by Councilors and other community members about
the proposed timelines of the two PDP WGs.
Here, the Council will receive an update on the current status and discuss
next steps.
