principal role as manager of the gTLD Policy Development Process.
Accordingly, there are several ICANN Public comment proceedings that the
Council will submit a public comment:
- ICANN Draft FY20 Operating Plan and Budget and Five-Year Operating
Plan Update
<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/fy20-budget-2018-12-17-en> (8

<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/reviews-standards-2018-12-17-en>
(11 February close date): Draft response [INSERT LINK]
Here, the Council will determine if there are any objections to the draft
language and if applicable, determine how to resolve those objections. In
the event draft text is not yet available, the main themes for the response
may be discussed.
4.1 – Update (Council leadership)
4.2 – Council discussion
4.3 – Next steps
*Item 5: COUNCIL DISCUSSION – Temporary Specification for Registration Data
Expedited Policy Development Process - Recurring Update (15 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 – Managing the EPDP Implementation Gap and
Back-up Plans (20 minutes)*
In connection with the previous agenda item, on 14 November 2018, Cherine
Chalaby, the Chair of the ICANN Board of Directors, sent a letter
<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/chalaby-to-drazek-14nov18-en.pdf>
to Keith Drazek, Chair of the GNSO, submitting questions regarding the
status of the EPDP. Two specific areas from the letter where the Board is
seeking an update are:
- *Deadlines** - The Board notes that the EPDP team intends to issue its
initial report by 19 November 2018, with a final report to be submitted to
the GNSO Council by 1 February 2019. Does the GNSO Council foresee any
risks of these deadlines not being met, and if so, is there anything the
Board can do to Help?*
- *Back-up Plans** - The Board recommends the development of back-up
plans and would very much appreciate getting a better understanding of any
such plans the GNSO Council may be contemplating. More specifically, what
are the thoughts of the GNSO Council on next steps, consistent with the
ICANN Bylaws and ICANN’s contractual agreements with Contracted Parties, in
the event the community has not reached agreement on a consensus policy
prior to the expiration of the Temporary Specification?*
The GNSO Council sent a response
<https://gnso.icann.org/en/correspondence/gnso-council-to-icann-board-10jan19-en.pdf>
to the ICANN Board on 10 January 2019. There, the Council acknowledged that
alternative steps may be warranted, but should be considered in more depth
following the January face-to-face meeting of the EPDP, if it appears the
group is unlikely to meet
projected timelines. The response also notes that there may be a need to
consider:
*“…how to avoid a gap between the adoption of these policy recommendations
by the ICANN Board and the subsequent implementation, noting the impending
expiration of the Temporary Specification requirements. The EPDP Team is
considering various options, such as the adoption of an interim policy for
a set timeframe or recommending that the Temporary Specification
requirements remain in place until the completion of implementation of
these policy recommendations. The EPDP Team expects to obtain further
guidance from ICANN Org on the options in this regard and make a
recommendation accordingly in the Final Report.”*
Here, the Council will discuss the plan to manage the gap between
successful adoption of policy recommendations and implementation, as well
as back-up plans in the event the EPDP is unable to meet deadlines.
6.1 – Update (Council leadership)
6.2 – Council discussion
6.3 – Next steps
*Item 7: 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 (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.
Here, Councilors will discuss the proposal from Council leadership, as well
as discuss immediate next steps.
7.1 – Presentation of topic (Council Leadership)
7.2 – Council discussion
7.3 – Next steps
*Item 8: ANY OTHER BUSINESS (10 minutes)*

8.2 - IANA Function Review (IFR) Team composition: Review of the ccNSO
