> *Hi all,I am sending here a short summary of relevant meetings and topic
> from ICANN meeting in Panama. As the main highlight, the focus for GNSO
> council was mostly on the Expedited Policy Development Process EPDP in
> response to the temporary specification. By focus, I mean working on the
> charter to initiate the EPDP team as the council as whole acted as a
> drafting team. This summary is not aimed to be exhaustive but giving some
> info and references for those who want to go further. For example, I am not
> mentioning PDP related sessions or other cross-community sessions since I
> count on those involved there or participated in those sessions to share
> those specific updates. You can find all the details about the relevant
> GNSO Council sessions  below, with pages including transcripts, recordings,
> and agenda: - High-Interest Session Community Input to GNSO Expedited PDP

> <https://62.schedule.icann.org/meetings/699485>The council scheduled
> several sessions to work on the charter that was started prior to the ICANN
> meeting by having leads for each charter sections. The most important
> charter sections are the scope and composition. The scope as it will set
> what the EPDP team can discuss or not, and may have an impact on the load
> for the team. The composition is also important for NCSG perspective to
> keep the team size small and ensure balance and equality with other
> stakeholder groups within the GNSO. The discussion on EPDP started first by
> having a high-interest session on Monday to get input from the community
> regarding the charter. It was also one topic for discussion in the joint
> meeting with GAC as it expressed interest to be involved in the EPDP (while
> also discussing that with Board). You can find the current sections under
> review here (NB only councilors are supposed to suggest direct edits to the
> documents if you have any comment, please feel free to reach me): - Scope

> <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1krM9egtdseUtXjEii2sth4syu97gNJZFqTIlvNMwfJg/edit?usp=sharing>.Currently,
> the council is trying to finalize the charter by this week in order to get
> it ready for approval in the next GNSO council meeting scheduled for the
> 19th July. The most contentious part is still the scope as there were
> proposals from registries and BC to add a 2nd phase to the EPDP to cover
> access and accreditation which is not an acceptable option for us. A new
> proposal will be shared this week for drafting team consideration. The
> traditional GNSO council public meeting also covered on its agenda: - SSAC
> to Brief the GNSO on Use of Emoji in Domain Names: covering the issues
> raising with introducing emojis at the 2nd level as emojis can be similar.
> The SSAC is advising to reject any suggestions for Top Level Domains (TLDs)
> or other policies that allow characters which are not following the IETF
> standard - IGO-INGO Access to Curative Rights Protection Mechanisms: the
> council voted unanimously for setting a date for the working group to
> submit its final recommendations for council consideration. To know more
> about the history and background of the IGO-INGO working group, I recommend
> reading the voted  motion for all the details.- Approval of Changes Made to
> the Customer Standing Committee (CSC) Charter: these changes were approved
> unanimously by the council as it supported them already during the public
> comments. The suggested changes are not substantive.- Protections for
> Certain Red Cross Names in All gTLDs Policy Amendment Process: the council
> got updated from the chair of the reconvened working group since the
> council is expected to vote the Amendment of the original PDP
> recommendations and reservation of a finite list of names for 191
> organizations and also new recommendations.- Initiation of Expedited Policy
> Development Process (EPDP) on the ICANN Board Temporary Specification: the
> council used that time to discuss some pending issues and also agree on the
> process to move forward including the selection process for EPDP team chair
> (note an announcement was made last Monday for Expression on Interest
> https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2018-07-02-en
> <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2018-07-02-en> ).On other hand,
> NCSG had also its own, few, meetings: - NCSG - GNSO Board Members Meeting
> https://62.schedule.icann.org/meetings/699534
> <https://62.schedule.icann.org/meetings/699534>- NCSG - Policy Committee
> https://62.schedule.icann.org/meetings/699535
> <https://62.schedule.icann.org/meetings/699535>- CPH/NCSG - General Data
> Protection Regulation session https://62.schedule.icann.org/meetings/699486
> <https://62.schedule.icann.org/meetings/699486>All those meetings were
> related to EPDP. We could ask some board members questions about the board
> involvement in particular with the consultation on uniform Access Model
> that was shared prior to Panama meeting. At the Policy Committee meeting,
> we discussed the EPDP and endorsed as NCSG the IGP model
> (https://www.internetgovernance.org/2018/06/22/an-access-model-for-whois-data-that-respects-registrants-rights/
> <https://www.internetgovernance.org/2018/06/22/an-access-model-for-whois-data-that-respects-registrants-rights/>
> ) for access as a set of requirements for the access model discussion. The
> last NCSG meeting was with the contracted party to discuss about EPDP and
> in particular the Access model matter and hearing from their position on
> EPDP, in particular the scope. Please feel to ask me any question about the
> meeting and if you want further information. The summary is intended to be
> brief to catch-up but I will be happy to go into details if you have any
> inquiry.Best Regards,Rafik DammakNCSG Policy Committee  Chair*
