*Item 4: COUNCIL VOTE – Adoption of the Charter related to the next steps
for the ICANN Procedure of Handling WHOIS conflicts with Privacy Law (15
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.

A small group of Councilors have prepared a Charter
<https://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/draft-icann-procedure-whois-conflicts-iag-23jan18-en.pdf>
(including
guidelines and parameters around scope, deliverables, composition,
operating procedures, etc.) pursuant to which a subsequent group will
operate as it deliberates and provides suggested next steps and/or
recommendations. This motion was considered during the Council’s 30 January
2018 meeting but was deferred.

Here, the Council will vote to approve the Charter.

4.1 – Presentation of motion <https://community.icann.org/x/WgK8B> (Keith

4.2 – Council Discussion

4.3 – Council vote (voting threshold: simple majority)

*Item 5. COUNCIL VOTE – Replacement for GNSO member for the Second
Security, Stability, and Resiliency of the DNS (SSR2) Review Team (15
minutes)*

On 19 January 2017, the GNSO Council voted to approve its three primary
candidates for the Second Security, Stability, and Resiliency Review Team
(SSR2-RT). James Gannon, one of those three candidates, has since resigned
from the SSR2-RT. The Standing Selection Committee (SSC) has been tasked
with recommending a replacement candidate to be considered by the GNSO
Council.

Taking into account the criteria outlined in the call for volunteers, as
well as the scoping information and the skills matrix developed by the
SSR2-RT, the SSC has performed its review process and selected [insert
name] to replace James Gannon on the SSR2-RT.

Here, the Council will vote to approve [insert name] as the replacement for
James Gannon on the SSR2-RT.

*Item 6: COUNCIL UPDATE – Updated Charter for the Cross Community Working
Group on Internet Governance (15 minutes)*

At ICANN57 in Hyderabad in November 2016, the GNSO Council approved a
motion conditioning the future participation of the GNSO as a Chartering
Organization of the CCWG on Internet Governance (CCWG-IG) upon a
comprehensive review of the group’s Charter by the CCWG-IG, in accordance
with the Framework of Uniform Principles for CCWGs that had been adopted
recently by the ccNSO and GNSO Councils (http://gnso.icann.org/en/
drafts/uniform-framework-principles-recommendations-16sep16-en.pdf). In its
resolution, the GNSO Council had noted that the CCWG-IG’s future work is
expected to be subject to a clear work plan, with regular updates and clear
deliverables, and had requested that, by ICANN58, the CCWG-IG was to report
on its findings, which report may include a revised charter, and the
CCWG-IG was to also consider whether it will be preferable to reconstitute
the group under a new structure (https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions
- 20161107-3 <https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions#20161107-3>).
The CCWG-IG provided a written report on its 2016 activity and a draft
revised Charter for the GNSO Council’s consideration on 10th March 2017 (
http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2017-March/019816.html)

At its Public Meeting at ICANN58 in Copenhagen on 15 March 2017 and its
joint meeting with the ccNSO Council on 13 March 2017, the Council engaged
in a discussion with the CCWG-IG co-chairs regarding the group’s reports.
At the GNSO Council’s call on 18 May 2017, the Council continued its
discussion of the topic as well as during ICANN59 during which it became
clear that although there is strong support to continue the GNSO’s
involvement in Internet Governance, a CCWG is not considered the
appropriate vehicle for such involvement.

On 24 August 2017, the Council adopted a motion
<https://community.icann.org/x/kAwhB> that among other things, requested
that the members of the CCWG-IG explore a framework / model (INSERT
LINK) that addresses the concerns expressed by the GNSO Council and then
submit this framework / model for Council consideration between ICANN60 and
ICANN61.

Here the Council will consider the framework / model submitted by the
CCWG-IG.

6.1 - Update on framework / model (Rafik Dammak)

6.2 – Council discussion

6.3 – Next steps

*Item 7: COUNCIL DISCUSSION – Update and discussion on the GNSO Standing
Committee on Budget and Operations (SCBO) review of the Draft FY19 ICANN
Operating Plan and Budget (15 minutes)*

The GNSO Council has determined that it may need to provide a Council
specific response (not to supersede any response from any SG/C) to certain
ICANN budget related public comments. Operating on an interim charter, the
Standing Committee on Budget and Operations (SCBO) is considering the Draft
FY19 ICANN Operating Plan and Budget
<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/fy19-budget-2018-01-19-en> and
preparing a public comment in advance of the public comment close date on *8
March 2018*.

The SCBO and its supporting subject matter experts from various Stakeholder
Groups and Constituencies have identified a number of areas where it is
considering providing comment on behalf of the GNSO Council.

Here, the Council will receive an update from the SCBO on these potential
areas of comment.

7.1 - Update on progress (SCBO)

7.2 – Council discussion

7.3 – Next steps

*Item 8: COUNCIL DISCUSSION – Discussion of the Draft Post-Implementation
Review Framework (15 minutes)*

The Consensus Policy Implementation Framework (CPIF
<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/gdd-consensus-policy-implementation-framework-31may15-en.pdf>)
provides guidance to ICANN org and the community for implementing policy.
However, there is minimal guidance in this document or in other
documentation around the review of implemented policies adopted by the GNSO
Council. In some cases, a review is explicitly mandated as an element of
the PDP WG’s recommendations to the Council, but in some cases, the
recommendations are silent in this respect.

ICANN org has prepared some initial thoughts on the approach for
post-implementation reviews of Council adopted policy recommendations.
ICANN org has also identified a number of questions for the Council to
consider (e.g., When should a review be initiated when there is NO PDP
recommendation to do so? what triggers should initiate a review? What are
the expected outcomes of the review? Etc.). This document was briefly
mentioned during the GNSO Council Strategic Planning Session and it was
agreed during that meeting that the draft framework would be discussed in
greater detail in a future Council meeting.

Here, the Council will consider the possible approach and suggested
questions from ICANN org.

8.1 – Presentation of materials (Brian Aitchison, ICANN staff)

8.2 – Council discussion

8.3 – Next steps

*Item 9: COUNCIL DISCUSSION – Planning for ICANN61 (10 minutes)*

Taking note of the proposed block schedule for ICANN61, which was discussed
at ICANN60 in Abu Dhabi, a draft GNSO schedule has been prepared for
Council’s consideration. This draft largely follows the outline of the
ICANN60 schedule. Based on requests received to date from the different
GNSO PDP WGs, CCWGs, WGs, and cross community session landscape, the
Council leadership has prepared a draft GNSO schedule
<https://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/icann61-draft-gnso-schedule-12feb18-en.pdf>
for
Council input and review. Following Council review, this draft GNSO
schedule will continue to be shared with the GNSO Stakeholder Groups and
Constituencies to facilitate their planning and scheduling.

Here, following the discussions during the Council’s Strategic Planning
Session, the Council will discuss its plans for the GNSO Working Session,
as well as meetings with other SO/ACs and the Board.

9.1 - Update on planning for ICANN61 (Council leadership)

9.2 – Council discussion

9.3 – Next steps

*Item 10: COUNCIL DISCUSSION – Assignment of Council Liaisons (15 minutes)*

The GNSO Council assigns liaisons to a number of different efforts, in
particular to PDP WGs (as described in the GNSO Operating Procedures
<https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/op-procedures-30jan18-en.pdf>), as well
as to Implementation Review Teams, Cross Community Working Groups, to the
Country Code Names Supporting Organization (ccNSO), etc.

Following the discussions during the Council’s Strategic Planning Session,
where the role of liaisons was discussed in detail, the description (INSERT
LINK) of the liaison role has been revised.

As agreed during the Strategic Planning Session, the Council will review
the liaisons for the various PDPs, IRTs, and other relevant efforts. Here,
the Council will seek new volunteers or confirmation from existing liaisons
<https://gnso.icann.org/en/meetings/projects-list.pdf> to continue to serve
in their role. The Council will also seek to reach general agree on the
updated description of the liaison role.
