*Item 4: COUNCIL DISCUSSION - Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) (10 minutes)*
Everyone is affected by the coronavirus pandemic, including members of the
Council, members of the Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies, and staff.
The impact is substantial for some, who in addition to their regular job
are now also playing additional roles as day care provider and educator.
For some, their work may be directly related to the effort to combat
coronavirus.
Here, the Council will have a brief discussion about how the coronavirus
pandemic may impact the capacity of the GNSO Council and the SG/Cs as well
as ICANN Org’s operations and staff, and that it should be accounted for in
discussing all of the subsequent agenda items during this meeting.
4.1 – Introduction of topic (Council leadership)
4.2 – Council discussion
4.3 – Next steps
*Item 5: COUNCIL DISCUSSION – GNSO Work Prioritization - 2020 Work Plan /
Impact From Coronavirus (25 minutes)*
After the GNSO Council’s Strategic Planning Session in January 2020, the
Council acknowledged that there are limited resources available for policy
development activities and related work. This resource limitation means
that the GNSO Council must efficiently complete its current work, but also
prioritize the new work waiting in its pipeline. At the Strategic Planning
Session, Councilors participated in an informal and non-binding ranking
survey, which was used as a “sense of the room.” This informational survey
result was shared with Councilors to then share with their respective
Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies, to gain a better sense of the
various groups’ top priorities. The Council touched on this topic briefly
during the February Council meeting and again during its March meeting.
Council leadership and staff developed a draft work plan for the Council’s
consideration. Previously, the focus was on prioritization of the GNSO’s
work, which implies that the work should be ranked in order of priority.
However, Council leadership determined that it might be more practical to
think of this exercise more simply as establishing a work plan, which does
still consider the urgency of the work, but also looks at each element of
work in a more granular fashion and identifies potential dependencies. What
this allows the Council to do is to potentially carve out pieces of work
from a project that might be initiated in the near-term, some of which may
then serve as the preparatory/informational basis for Council next steps.
While this topic is focused on a relatively long-term work plan for the
GNSO, the landscape has changed significantly since the Strategic Planning
Session in late January of 2020. It is possible that capacity within the
community, as well as Policy staff, is or may be diminished by the impact
from the coronavirus pandemic.* For instance, the Council had anticipated
initiating the IGO Work Track just after ICANN68, but Council leadership
believes discussion is warranted on whether the timing still remains
appropriate.*
Here, the Council will discuss this change in approach (and draft document)
to establishing the Council’s draft work plan for 2020, and potentially
beyond, but will also consider whether the coronavirus pandemic might
impact that plan.
5.1 – Introduction of topic (Council leadership)
5.2 – Council discussion
5.3 – Next steps
*Item 6: COUNCIL DISCUSSION - Report from the Transfer Policy Scoping Team
(15 minutes)*
On April 22, 2019, ICANN Org delivered the most recent version of the Transfer
Policy Status Report (TPSR)
<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/irtp-status-30nov18-en.pdf>
to
the GNSO Council. ICANN Org delivered the TPSR pursuant to Recommendation
17 of the Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy (IRTP) Part D PDP Working Group’s
Final Report
<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/filefield_46639/irtp-d-final-25sep14-en.pdf>,
which provides, “[t]he Working Group recommends that contracted parties and
ICANN should start to gather data and other relevant information that will
help inform a future IRTP review team in its efforts.”
The GNSO Council established the Transfer Policy Review Scoping Team to
review the TPSR and consider the best approach/mechanism to conduct the
review, composition of the potential review team, and the scope of the
review and future policy work related to the Transfer Policy. The team
believes that the GDPR and similar national privacy legislations have
rendered the Transfer Policy ineffective and unworkable as written and
recommends that a PDP, or series of PDPs, be established to conduct policy
work on the Transfer Policy. Further, as a first step, the team recommends
that the GNSO Council instruct ICANN Policy staff to draft an Issues Report
in line with the Scoping Document
<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/transfer-policy-review-scoping-team-06apr20-en.pdf>
delivered
to the GNSO Council on 7 April 2020..
Here, the Council will discuss the report from the Transfer Policy Scoping
Team and consider possible next steps, including the request of an Issue
Report on the Transfer Policy.
6.1 - Introduction of topic (Council leadership)
6.2 – Council discussion
6.3 – Next steps
*Item 7: Registration Directory Service (RDS) - Program Management (35
minutes)*
The GNSO Council has a number of Registration Directory Service (RDS)
related topics to consider.
- EPDP Phase 1, Recommendation 27 Wave 1 report - The Council was
provided with the updated version of the Wave 1 report
<https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2020-February/023534.html> on 19
February 2020. On 24 March 2020, a suggested approach
<https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2020-March/023615.html> for
addressing the Council’s work related to recommendation 27 was shared with
the Council. The Council has not yet discussed how it wants to prioritize
and allocate this work, which will have an impact on the Council’s work
plan.
- Whois Procedure Implementation Advisory Group (WPIAG) - At the
Council’s 13 March 2019 meeting, it agreed to defer further discussion of
the WPIAG for 12 months, reserving the right to revisit at any time. With
12 months having lapsed, what action, if any, should be taken?
- Registration Directory Service Review Team (RDS-RT) - On 18 March
2020, the Council was informed
<https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2020-March/023606.html> that the
ICANN Board passed two recommendations to the Council, in whole or in part,
for its consideration as documented in the scorecard
<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/resolutions-board-action-rds-whois2-final-recs-25feb20-en.pdf>
associated
with the Board resolution
<https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2020-02-25-en>.
The Council has not yet discussed how it will consider the two relevant
recommendations (i.e., CC1 and CC.4).
Here, the Council will discuss the bullet points above and discuss next
steps, as applicable.
7.1 – Introduction of topic (Council leadership)
7.2 – Council discussion
7.3 – Next steps
