*CONSENT AGENDA*



   - *Adoption of the GNSO Review of GAC Communiqué for submission to the
   ICANN Board *

Whereas,

1.      1. The Governmental Advisory Committee advises the ICANN Board on
issues of public policy, and especially where there may be an interaction
between ICANN's activities or policies and national laws or international
agreements. It usually does so as part of a Communiqué, which is published
towards the end of every ICANN meeting.

2.      2. The GNSO is responsible for developing and recommending to the
ICANN Board substantive policies relating to generic top-level domains.

3.      3. The GNSO has expressed a desire to provide feedback to the ICANN
Board on issues in the GAC Communiqué as these relate to generic top-level
domains to inform the ICANN Board as well as the broader community of past,
present or future gTLD policy activities that may directly or indirectly
relate to advice provided by the GAC.

4.      4.  The GNSO hopes that the input provided through its review of
the GAC Communiqué will further enhance the co-ordination and promote the
sharing of information on gTLD related policy activities between the GAC,
Board and the GNSO.

Resolved,

1.      1. The GNSO Council adopts the GNSO Review of the San Juan GAC
Communiqué (see https://gac.icann.org/contentMigrated/icann61-gac-communique)
and requests that the GNSO Council Chair communicate the GNSO Review of the
San Juan GAC Communiqué to the ICANN Board.

2.      2. The GNSO Council requests that the GNSO Chair also informs the
GAC Chair of the communication between the GNSO Council and the ICANN Board.

   - *The GNSO Council agrees that ICANN org should continue to treat the
   Community gTLD Change Request process as a matter of implementation.*

amendments proposed by Rafik Dammak & Donna Austin*

Whereas:



1.Stéphane Van Gelder first entered the domain name business in the late
1990s when he founded Indom, a registrar in France, which later become part
of the GroupNBT based in the United Kingdom. It was while Stéphane was
General manager of INDOM that he was elected to the GNSO Council by the
Registrar Stakeholder Group.

elected representative of the Registrars Constituency.

elected and served two consecutive terms as Chair of the GNSO Council in

4. As Chair of the GNSO Council, Stéphane was an impartial and neutral
facilitator on all issues. For Stéphane, remaining neutral was key to
ensuring collective dialogue.

respected community leader. During his tenure as GNSO Chair, Stéphane
oversaw and shepherded the:

jointly with the ALAC, ccNSO and NRO;

continuing work on WHOIS studies, registration abuse policies, and multiple
other GNSO projects.



e. the completion of the Applicant Guidebook for the 2012 New gTLD Program
and the launch of the Program.



f. Stéphane was a well-respected and much liked member of not only the
GNSO, but of the broader ICANN Community. He was admired for his passion,
his fairness, his ability to find the best in people and his true gift for
uniting people.



g. Stéphane’s passing is a great loss to the many people in the ICANN
community that had the pleasure to work and interact with him, and for his
many friends at ICANN the loss is significant.



Resolved:



1.The GNSO Council wishes to recognize the significant contribution
Stéphane made to the GNSO Council during his tenure and his notable
achievements during this time.

2. Stéphane’s genuine passion, energy and commitment to the Internet and
all that it brought to the world was second to none and we will miss him
dearly.

3. 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.
