*Item 4: COUNCIL DISCUSSION – IGO-INGO Access to Curative Rights Protection
Mechanisms (15 minutes)*
The IGO-INGO Access to Curative Rights Protection Mechanisms PDP WG had
worked to resolve a final recommendation relating to IGO jurisdictional
immunity and registrants’ rights to file court proceedings. The WG has
determined consensus on a set of options for this final recommendation, as
well as for all other recommendations. The WG Chair proposed his
determination of consensus levels for all recommendations, which the WG
affirmed. On 27 June 2018, the GNSO Council passed a resolution
<https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions#201806>, thanking the PDP WG
for its efforts and requesting that it submit its Final Report in time for
the 19 July 2018 Council meeting.
After having agreed on consensus levels for its final recommendations, the
WG considered the text of its Final Report. On 9 July 2018, the PDP WG
submitted its Final Report
<https://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/igo-ingo-crp-access-final-17jul18-en.pdf>
to the GNSO Council for its consideration, which contains five consensus
recommendations and three minority statements, documenting their
disagreement either with one or more of the final recommendations or other
parts of the Final Report.
There remain several inconsistencies between GAC advice and consensus
recommendations from the IGO-INGO PDP WG, which have yet to be reconciled,
including on the topic of appropriate protections for IGO acronyms (both
preventative and curative). During its 19 July Council meeting, the Council
resolved <https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions#201807> to accept
the Final Report from the IGO-INGO Access to Curative Rights Mechanisms PDP
Working Group and has begun considering the topic of curative rights
protections for IGOs in the broader context of appropriate overall scope of
protection for all IGO identifiers.
On 9 October 2018, the Council held a question and answer webinar to review
the recommendations and to ask itself a series of questions, 1) Does the
Council believe that the PDP has addressed the issues that it was chartered
to address (i.e. What questions/topics was the Working Group chartered to
consider, did it consider those charter topics/questions, and did it do so
in a legitimate way)?; 2) Has the PDP followed due process?; and 3) Did the
PDP Working Group address GAC advice on the topic?
A motion to consider the Final Report was originally on the 24 October 2018
Council meeting agenda but was withdrawn due to concerns around both the
process followed by the PDP, as well as the substance of the PDP WG’s
recommendations. Council leadership and staff have developed a summary
document [INSERT LINK WHEN READY] that lists issues raised by Councilors,
options available, and potential considerations.
Here, the Council will consider the options available and discuss
appropriate next steps.
4.1 – Presentation of topic (Council Leadership)
4.2 – Council discussion
4.3 – Next steps
*Item 5: COUNCIL UPDATE – Temporary Specification for Registration Data
Expedited Policy Development Process - Recurring Update (25 minutes)*
On 19 July 2018, the GNSO Council resolved
<https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions#20180719-2> to initiate the
Expedited Policy Development Process (EPDP) on the Temporary Specification
for gTLD Registration Data and adopt the EPDP Team Charter
<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/temp-spec-gtld-rd-epdp-19jul18-en.pdf>.
Given the challenging timeline for the EPDP and the GNSO Council’s role in
managing the PDP process, the Council has agreed that including a recurring
update on the EPDP for each Council meeting is prudent.
Here, the Council will receive an update from the GNSO Council liaison to
the EPDP.
5.1 – Update (Rafik Dammak, GNSO Council liaison to the EPDP and EPDP
vice-chair)
5.2 – Council discussion
5.3 – Next steps
*Item 6: COUNCIL DISCUSSION – ICANN Reserve Fund (15 minutes)*
The ICANN Reserve Fund was created in 2007 with a target level set at a
minimum of 12 months of Operating Expenses. It has been funded through
operational excesses. Over the past years, ICANN's operations have grown,
its risk profile has evolved, and withdrawals have been made to fund the
IANA stewardship transition expenses.
On 6 March 2018, ICANN Org sought public comment
<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/reserve-fund-replenishment-2018-03-06-en>
on the Reserve Fund replenishment strategy, to bring the Reserve Fund to
its minimum target level of 12 months.
During the 25 October 2018 meeting of the ICANN Board, two resolutions were
adopted to transfer funds to the Reserve Fund. The first
<https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2018-10-25-en#2.c>
transferred US$3,000,000 from the Operating Fund. The second
<https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2018-10-25-en#2.f>
allocated US$36,000,000 of auction proceeds to the Reserve Fund. Several
Council members expressed concern that auction proceeds were utilized for
this purpose, diminishing the pool of allocatable funds available to the
recommendations of the New gTLD Auction Proceeds Cross-Community Working
Group (CCWG).
Here, the Council discuss potential issues and determine if any remedial
actions may be necessary at the Council level.
6.1 – Presentation of topic (Council Leadership)
6.2 – Council discussion
6.3 – Next steps
*Item 7: COUNCIL DISCUSSION – Discussion of the Inter-Registrar Transfer
Policy (IRTP) Policy Status Report (15 minutes) *
The Consensus Policy Implementation Framework (CPIF) 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, in consultation with the Council, prepared a draft framework on
the approach for post-implementation reviews of Council adopted policy
recommendations. The framework provides guidance on a number of questions
(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.).
During its 26 April 2018 meeting, the Council tentatively agreed to have
ICANN org conduct a review of the Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy (IRTP).
ICANN org utilized the draft framework for conducting the
post-implementation review of the IRTP. On 14 November 2018, ICANN org
published <https://www.icann.org/public-comments/irtp-status-2018-11-14-en>
the IRTP Policy Status Report for public comment.
Here, the Council will receive an update on the report, discuss its initial
reactions, and consider next steps.
7.1 – Presentation of materials (Brian Aitchison)
7.2 – Council discussion
7.3 – Next steps
*Item 8: ANY OTHER BUSINESS (10 minutes)*
8.1 - Update on the Council Strategic Planning Session
8.2 - Permanent GNSO representative to the Fellowship Selection Committee
