On 15 March 2017, the GNSO Council adopted
<https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions#201703> the Charter for the
GNSO Standing Selection Committee (SSC) on an interim basis. After at least
two selection processes, the SSC was expected to consider whether the
interim charter provides sufficient guidance, flexibility, and is otherwise
fit for purpose, or whether modifications are needed.

In the meantime, the SSC has successfully completed selections for the
following: GNSO Representative on the Empowered Community Administration;
replacement candidate for the Second Security and Stability Review Team
(SSR2-RT) in 2017; candidates for the Third Review of ICANN Accountability
and Transparency (ATRT3); GNSO Liaison to the GAC, and; replacement
candidate for the Second Security and Stability Review Team (SSR2-RT) in
2018. Following the completion of these selection processes, the SSC has
reviewed its interim Charter and is proposing revisions for the Council’s
consideration.

Here, the Council will consider whether the proposed revisions are
appropriate and whether to adopt the proposed charter, as well as reconfirm
Susan Kawaguchi as Chair and Maxim Alzoba as Vice-Chair.

*Item 5: 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. On 10 May 2018, the WG met to discuss next steps, which include
working on the draft Final Report
<https://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/igo-ingo-crp-access-09may18-en.pdf> and
opening up the formal consensus call.

Here, the Council liaison to the WG will update the Council on the status
of the WG.

5.1 – Update (Susan Kawaguchi, Council liaison to the WG)

5.2 – Council discussion

5.3 – Next steps

*Item 6: UPDATE – Review of the Customer Standing Committee (CSC) Charter
(10 minutes)*

The Customer Standing Committee (CSC) Charter review team (RT) is seeking
comment and input on its findings and proposed amendments to the CSC
Charter, as included in the RT's Initial Report. According to
the ICANN Bylaws (Section 17.3 (c)) and reflected in the CSC Charter,
the ccNSO and RySG are required to review the CSC Charter one year after
the first meeting of the CSC to consider whether the Charter is adequate
and provides a sound basis for the CSC to perform their responsibilities as
envisioned in the development of the IANA Transition Proposal. Taking into
account comments received, the Review Team will then prepare a Final Report
for consideration and adoption by the ccNSO and GNSO Councils. The Amended
Charter will become effective following the adoption of the Final 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 deadline for comments
is 1 June.

Here, the Council will receive an update on the progress of draft comment.

6.1 – Update (Rafik Dammak)

6.2 – Council discussion

6.3 – Next steps

*Item 7: COUNCIL DISCUSSION – Short-Term and Long-Term Options to Adjust
the Timeline for Specific Reviews (10 Minutes)*

On 14 May 2018, ICANN published short-term
<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/specific-reviews-short-term-timeline-2018-05-14-en>
 and long-term options
<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/reviews-long-term-timeline-2018-05-14-en>
to
adjust the timeline for the Specific Reviews as required by the ICANN
Bylaws. These proposed options seek to alleviate the workload on the
community and ICANN resources. The two reviews for consideration for
short-term options are the third Accountability and Transparency Review
(ATRT3) and the second Registration Directory Service Review (RDS-WHOIS2).
For the long-term options the options put forward offer various ways to
address the mandates from the Bylaws that have resulted in multiple
simultaneous reviews. The options also address the inability to modify the
mandated review cycles in order to address unforeseen developments.

Here, the Council will discuss whether it will seek to respond to the public
comment
<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/specific-reviews-short-term-timeline-2018-05-14-en>
opportunity
and if so, next steps for doing so by the 6 July (short term options) and
20 July 2018 (long term options) close date respectively.

*Item 8: COUNCIL DISCUSSION – Next steps following adoption of ICANN Board
Temporary Specification (50 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 21 May, the Council and SG/C chairs met to discuss possible next steps
in preparation for a possible adoption of a temporary specification by the
ICANN Board in relation to the interim model for GDPR Compliance.

Here, the Council will discuss and plan for its next steps to begin work on
the policy development process related to the Temporary Specification.
