*Item 2: Opening Remarks / Review of Projects & Action List (5 minutes)*
2.1 - Review focus areas and provide updates on specific key themes /
topics, to include review of Projects List
<https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/project>and Action Item List. *Note, the
review of the Projects List will be a substantive agenda item for this
Council meeting.* <https://community.icann.org/x/RgZlAg>
*Item 3: Consent Agenda (0 minutes) *
- None
*Item 4: COUNCIL VOTE - Adoption of the PDP 3.0 Implementation Final Report
(15 minutes)*
The PDP 3.0 Small Team has completed thirteen (13) out of fourteen (14) PDP
3.0 improvements and has delivered four packages to the GNSO Council. Package
one <https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2019-August/022965.html>, on
improvements 1, 2, 3, and 6 was delivered on 13 August 2019. Package two
<https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2019-September/023075.html>, on
improvements 11, 12, 14, and 16 was delivered on 25 September 2019. Package
three <https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2019-October/023185.html>, on
improvements 5 and 13 was delivered on 22 October 2019. Package four
<https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2019-November/023292.html>, on
improvements 9 and 15 was delivered on 21 November 2019. The PDP 3.0 Small
Team completed implementation of improvement 17, which is integrated into
the small team’s final outputs.
On 10 February 2020, The PDP 3.0 Small Team delivered its Final Report
<https://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/pdp-final-report-10feb20-en.pdf> to the
GNSO Council for its consideration. The Final Report provides an overview
of the effort and the outcomes, effective dates for deployment of the
improvements, and a consolidation of all of the work products. One work
product related to PDP 3.0, the Consensus Playbook (originating from
improvement 4), is not complete, but is also not strictly a PDP 3.0
product, as it is intended to be utilized by the broader community beyond
just the GNSO.
Here, the Council will vote to adopt the Final Report, signifying the
completion of the PDP 3.0 implementation effort.
4.1 – Presentation of motion <https://community.icann.org/x/zg_JBw>
(Council Leadership)
4.2 – Council discussion
4.3 – Council vote (voting threshold: simple majority)
*Taking this action is within the GNSO’s remit as outlined in ICANN’s
Bylaws as the GNSO ‘shall be responsible for developing and recommending to
the Board substantive policies relating to generic top-level domains and
other responsibilities of the GNSO as set forth in these Bylaws’
(Art.11.1). This action is intended to enhance the GNSO’s ability to carry
out the functions within its remit.*
*Item 5: COUNCIL UPDATE – Review of All Rights Protection Mechanisms in All
gTLDs PDP Project Change Request (15 minutes)*
Chartered in March 2016 to review all the RPMs that have been developed by
ICANN, the PDP is focused on RPMs developed for the 2012 New gTLD Program
(i.e., Trademark Clearing House, Sunrise, Claims, and Uniform Rapid
Suspension). The WG is tasked with considering the overarching issue as to
whether or not the RPMs collectively fulfil their purposes or whether
additional policy recommendations will be necessary.
The PDP has worked diligently since launch and is preparing to publish its
Initial Report for public comment. As of ICANN64, the WG had expected to be
able to publish its Initial Report at the beginning of 2020. The WG is
currently revisiting sub team and individual URS proposals and, when
completed, will proceed to the development of its Phase One Initial Report,
with a plan to publish in March of 2020. As a result of this delay in
timeline, the PDP submitted a Project Change Request
<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/review-rpm-gtlds-pdp-change-request-17jan20-en.pdf>
(PCR) for the January 2020 Council meeting, intending to both inform and
gain approval from the GNSO Council. The Council agreed that Council
leadership and the PDP leadership should discuss the PCR and determine
whether the dates are achievable and that the PDP leadership is able to
commit to those dates.
Here, the Council will consider the revised Project Change Request
<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/rpm-pdp-change-request-10feb20-en.pdf>
.
5.1 – Introduction of topic (Council leadership; John McElwaine, GNSO
Council liaison to the PDP)
5.2 – Council discussion
5.3 – Next steps
*Item 6: COUNCIL UPDATE – New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP Project Change
Request (15 minutes)*
The PDP was chartered in January 2016 to review the 2012 New gTLD Program
round to determine what, if any changes may need to be made to the existing
2007 Introduction of New Generic Top-Level Domains policy recommendations.
The WG has relied on a number of creative mechanisms to seek to address the
extensive topics contained within its charter, including setting up a
number of sub teams to divide the work. The WG has already published its
Initial Report, a Supplemental Initial Report, as well as a report specific
to Work Track 5, focused on geographic names. The WG has reviewed public
comments received to all of these reports, considered what should be
integrated, and is now in the midst of developing and reviewing draft final
recommendations. Concurrently, the WG is seeking to resolve open issues on
a subset of topics.
As of ICANN66, the WG estimated that it could deliver its Final Report to
the GNSO Council by the end of Q2 2020, which was based on the premise that
an additional public comment period would be limited to a subset of topics.
However, it has become clear to the Co-Chairs that there is an expectation
of a public comment on the entire draft Final Report, even if comment is
only sought on particular areas of that report. Given these changing
dynamics, the WG is submitting a Project Change Request
<https://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/pdp-change-request-wg-work-plan-11feb20-en.pdf>
that commits to delivering a Final Report to the GNSO Council no later than
31 December 2020.
Here, the GNSO Council will consider the PCR from the SubPro PDP.
6.1 – Introduction of topic (Council leadership; Flip Petillion and Elsa
Saade, GNSO Council liaisons to the PDP)
6.2 – Council discussion
6.3 – Next steps
*Item 7: COUNCIL DISCUSSION – GNSO Projects List Review (30 minutes)*
During the GNSO Council’s Strategic Planning Session in January 2020, the
Council agreed that close review of the GNSO Projects List
<https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/project>is a critically important part
of its job as manager of the PDP process. The Council acknowledged that
with full agendas, careful consideration of the project list is often
sacrificed.
With a pipeline full of additional new work and an already brimming current
set of projects, ensuring that current work is as well positioned as
possible to succeed, but also recognizing areas of concerns, are important
areas of focus for the GNSO Council.
Here, the Council will conduct a thorough and detailed review of the
Projects List (with the exceptions of RPMs and SubPro, which are both
substantive items on this agenda).
7.1 – Introduction of topic (Council leadership)
7.2 – Council discussion
7.3 – Next steps
*Item 8: COUNCIL DISCUSSION – GNSO Work Prioritization (15 minutes)*
Continuing the theme from item 7 of this agenda, the GNSO Council
acknowledged that there is extent to which it can agree to perform
additional work. This resource limitation means that the GNSO Council must
efficiently complete its current work as noted in item 7, but already
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.
Here, the Council will continue its discussions on which new work should be
prioritized for initiation, when capacity within the community becomes
available.
8.1 – Introduction of topic (Council leadership)
8.2 – Council discussion
8.3 – Next steps
*Item 9: ANY OTHER BUSINESS (15 minutes)*
9.1 - ICANN67 Planning / Questions for lunch with the ICANN Board
9.2 - Council consideration of the draft GNSO Council public comment
to the Draft
FY21-25 Operating & Financial Plan and Draft FY21 Operating Plan & Budget
<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/draft-opplan-budget-fy21-25-2019-12-20-en>,
due on 25 February.
9.3 - Council consideration of the draft response
<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__docs.google.com_document_d_1HPoe8zAXslPX9bAS8olavfZxykFWiUib8-2DjmlCuyQJw_edit&d=DwMF-g&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=UAy6fqdE7uFkRCc7uzN4yui8bwTtqofadZHiQEIO1vw&m=XinAp9nk01GeGUzJcvpgZaKjtUZnEwKwyqGR3oAkJHE&s=KMUYdHEHckH-hoR3WczT3Ri3j2UJtKd1tOEU21DhQYA&e=>
