*Item 4: COUNCIL UPDATE – SSAC to Brief the GNSO on Use of Emoji in Domain
Names (15 minutes)*
On 2 November 2017, the ICANN Board, in considering SAC095
<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/sac-095-en.pdf>, adopted
<https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2017-11-02-en#1.e>
the
following:
· Resolved (2017.11.02.09), the Board hereby directs that
conformance to IDNA2008 and its successor will continue to be a necessary
condition to determine valid IDN TLD labels.
· Resolved (2017.11.02.10), the Board requests that the Country
Code Names Supporting Organization (ccNSO) and the Generic Names Supporting
Organization (GNSO) engage with the SSAC to more fully understand the risks
and consequences of using a domain name that includes emoji in any of its
labels, and inform their respective communities about these risks.
· Resolved (2017.11.02.11), the Board requests that the ccNSO and
GNSO integrate conformance with IDNA2008 and its successor into their
relevant policies so as to safeguard security, stability, resiliency and
interoperability of domain names.
· Resolved (2017.11.02.12), the Board directs the ICANN CEO, or his
designee(s), to engage with gTLD and ccTLD communities on the findings and
recommendations in SAC095
Accordingly, the GNSO Council has invited the Security and Stability
Advisory Committee (SSAC) to brief the GNSO Council on the risks of emoji
as domain names in any of its labels and to help inform what specific steps
the GNSO may need to take to properly account for those risks.
Here, the Council will receive a briefing from Patrik Fältström, to help
the Council determine what next steps may be necessary.
4.1 – Update (Patrik Fältström - SSAC)
4.2 – Council discussion
4.3 – Next Steps
*Item 5: COUNCIL VOTE – IGO-INGO Access to Curative Rights Protection
Mechanisms (15 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. The WG has since held several meetings to try and reach
final consensus for its Final Report, including opening up the formal
consensus call on 10 May 2018.
The WG Chair has designated his assessment of consensus levels for
recommendations 1-4, as well as for the 6 options under consideration for
recommendation 5. A second section 3.7 appeal was filed in June 2018, to
assert that the Chair, Council liaison, and policy staff are not performing
their role, that short deadlines are being imposed, and that proper
procedure is not being followed for the consensus call.
With the connection to a previous PDP on IGO protections, where work
continues to reconcile inconsistencies with GAC Advice, and the GNSO
Council’s emphasis on improving the timely resolution of PDPs, the Council
requests that the Final Report be delivered in time for consideration for
the July 2018 GNSO Council meeting.
Here, the Council will vote on whether or not to request delivery of the
Final Report by the Council’s July meeting.
5.1 – Presentation of motion (Heather Forrest)
5.2 – Council discussion
5.3 – Council vote (voting threshold: simple majority)
*Item 6: COUNCIL VOTE – Approval of Changes Made to the Customer Standing
Committee (CSC) Charter (15 minutes)*
The ccNSO and RySG appointed members to form the Charter Review Team from
their respective SO and SG to conduct a review of the Customer Standing
Committee (CSC) Charter in accordance with the Terms of Reference. The CSC
Charter review team (RT) sought comment and input on its findings and
proposed amendments to the CSC Charter, as included in the RT's Initial
Report.
On 11 May 2018, Council member volunteers were sought to develop a draft
comment for Council consideration for public comment
<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/csc-charter-rt-initial-2018-04-11-en> on
the Initial Report on Review of the CSC Charter. The Council discussed the
Initial Report during their meeting on 24 May 2018 and submit their
comments during the public comment process.
Taking into account comments received, the Review Team prepared a Final
Report and Amended Charter for consideration and adoption by the ccNSO and
GNSO Councils.
Here, the Council will vote to approve the changes made to the CSC Charter
as a result of the Charter Review Process.

6.2 – Council discussion

*Item 7: COUNCIL UPDATE – Protections for Certain Red Cross Names in All
gTLDs Policy Amendment Process (10 minutes)*
Following discussions around possible ways of reconciling inconsistent GAC
advice and GNSO policy recommendations relating to National Society names
of the Red Cross Movement and the two names of the international components
of the Movement (http://sched.co/9xr2 <http://sched.co/9xr2)>), the ICANN
Board passed a resolution requesting that the GNSO Council initiate the
process outlined in Section 16 of the GNSO’s Policy Development Process
(PDP) Manual, which sets forth the requisite steps for amending policy
recommendations that have been approved by the GNSO Council but not yet
approved by the ICANN Board (
https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/prelim-report-2017-03-16-en#2.e.i
<https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/prelim-report-2017-03-16-en#2.e.i)>).
The Board’s request related to the 190 Red Cross National Society names and
the two international movement names and a limited defined set of their
variants.
On 03 May 2017, the Council resolved
<https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions#201705> to initiate the
Section 16 process as requested by the Board, which resulted in the limited
reconvening of the original PDP on Protection of IGO and INGO Identifiers
in All gTLDs.
The Reconvened WG began its deliberations on 14 June 2017 and is nearing
completion of its preliminary work, expecting to publish its Initial Report
in the near future.
Here, the Council will receive an update on the status of the Reconvened WG.
7.1 – Update (Thomas Rickert - WG Chair)
7.2 – Council discussion
7.3 – Next Steps
*Item 8: COUNCIL VOTE – Initiation of Expedited Policy Development Process
on the ICANN Board Temporary Specification (30 minutes)*
On 11 May 2018, ICANN released the Temporary Specification
<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/approved-with-specs-2013-09-17-en#consensus-temporary>
on
gTLD Registration Data, which served as the main agenda topic for the
subsequent Board Workshop in Vancouver. This proposed Temporary
Specification provides an interim solution until the community completes a
policy development process on the temporary specification which is expected
to complete within a one year period.
On 14 May 2018, ICANN released a revised Temporary Specification
<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/proposed-gtld-registration-data-temp-specs-14may18-en.pdf>
and
scheduled a webinar on 15 May 2018 to discuss the topic. The Board passed a
resolution
<https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2018-05-13-en>,
noting their intent to adopt the Temporary Specification on or around 17
May 2018.
On 17 May 2017, the ICANN Board approved
<https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2018-05-17-en> the
proposed Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data
<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/gtld-registration-data-specs-en>,
which establishes temporary requirements for how ICANN and its Contracted
Parties will comply with both ICANN contractual requirements and the
European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). On 21 May 2018,
the Council and SG/C chairs met to discuss possible next steps for the
ICANN Board adoption of the Temporary Specification.
On its 24 May 2018 meeting, the Council discussed possible next steps
following ICANN Board adoption of the Temporary Specification. On 5 June
2018, the Council met with the ICANN Board to discuss a set of questions
<https://gnso.icann.org/en/correspondence/olive-to-forrest-12jun18-en.pdf>the
Council and ICANN Board developed, as well as overall next steps.
Subsequently, Council leadership and staff developed a Mindmap
<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/temporary-specification-gtld-registration-data-pdp-06jun18-en.pdf>
to help understand the elements around a potential Expedited Policy
Development Process (EPDP), such as timing, team composition, and planning
for ICANN62.
On 12 June 2018, the Council held an Extraordinary Council Meeting to
discuss next steps on addressing the Temporary Specification. There, the
Council agreed in principle that an EPDP was the right way to address the
issue and that next steps should be taken, specifically drafting of the
charter and initiation. In the period leading up to and at ICANN62, the
Council has worked together to draft the charter for the EPDP.
Here, the Council will vote to initiate an EPDP on the Temporary
Specification, as well as to adopt the EPDP’s charter.
