*Item 3: COUNCIL DISCUSSION – Final Report of the Expedited Policy
Development Process on the ICANN Board Temporary Specification on gTLD
Registration Data (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 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 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 took steps to draft the charter and prepare for EPDP initiation.
On 19 July 2018, the Council voted to initiate an EPDP on the Temporary
Specification
<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/temp-spec-gtld-rd-epdp-initiation-request-19jul18-en.pdf>,
as well as to adopt the EPDP’s charter
<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/temp-spec-gtld-rd-epdp-19jul18-en.pdf>
.

The EPDP Team held its first meeting on 1 August 2018 and on 21 November
2018, the EPDP published its Initial Report for public comment
<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/epdp-gtld-registration-data-specs-initial-2018-11-21-en>.
After taking into account public comment received, the EPDP Team has worked
to deliver its Final Report to the GNSO Council for its consideration.

Here, the Council will receive an update on the Final Report from the EPDP
Team Chair, Kurt Pritz, and discuss next steps.

3.1 – Status update (Kurt Pritz, Chair of the EPDP on the Temporary
Specification for gTLD Registration Data)

3.2 – Council discussion

3.3 – Next steps

*Item 4: COUNCIL DISCUSSION – IGO-INGO Access to Curative Rights Protection
Mechanisms (50 minutes)*

The IGO-INGO Access to Curative Rights Protection Mechanisms PDP WG worked
to resolve a final recommendation relating to IGO jurisdictional immunity
and registrants’ rights to file court proceedings. The WG reached agreement
on a single recommendation amongst several options for their final
recommendation on this area, as well as for all other recommendations. The
WG Chair proposed his determination of consensus levels for all
recommendations, which the WG has 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
<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/igo-ingo-crp-access-final-17jul18-en.pdf>
in time for the 19 July 2018 Council meeting.

After having agreed on consensus levels for its final recommendations, the
WG has considered the text of its Final Report
<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/igo-ingo-crp-access-final-17jul18-en.pdf>.
On 9 July 2018, the PDP WG submitted its Final Report
<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/igo-ingo-crp-access-final-17jul18-en.pdf>
to the GNSO Council for its consideration, which contains five consensus
recommendations and three Working Group member minority statements,
documenting their disagreement either with one or more of the final
recommendations or other parts of the Final Report.

On its 19 July Council meeting, the Council resolved to accept the Final
Report
<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/igo-ingo-crp-access-final-17jul18-en.pdf>
from the IGO-INGO Access to Curative Rights Mechanisms PDP Working Group,
where it noted that it would consider the topic of curative rights
protections for IGOs in the broader context of the 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 submitted 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 (Summary Paper
<https://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/igo-ingo-crp-access-final-28nov18-en.pdf>
and Slide Deck
<https://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/igo-ingo-crp-procedural-options-council-29nov18-en.pdf>)
that lists issues raised by Councilors, options available, and potential
considerations. During the November meeting, the Council considered a set
of available options and briefly discussed possible next steps.

On 20 December 2018, Council leadership circulated a proposal
<https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2018-December/022153.html> for next
steps. Council leadership has since sent a reply
<https://gnso.icann.org/en/correspondence/gnso-council-to-ismail-14jan19-en.pdf>
to the GAC, in response to a letter received during ICANN63. On the 24
January 2018 Council meeting, the Council discussed the proposal prepared
by Council leadership.

Here, the Council will consider next steps for the Final Report from the
IGO-INGO Access to Curative Rights Protection Mechanisms PDP WG.
