*Item 4: COUNCIL VOTE - Adoption of the Final Report of the Expedited PDP
(EPDP) on the Temporary Specification Phase 2 (30 minutes)*

Phase 2 of the Expedited PDP (EPDP) on the Temporary Specification was
initiated in March 2019, and is focused on developing policy on a System
for Standardized Access/Disclosure (SSAD) to non-public gTLD registration
data, as well as other topics identified in Phase 2 of the Charter. The
EPDP Team published its Phase 2 Initial Report
<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/epdp-phase-2-initial-2020-02-07-en> for
public comment on 7 February 2020, focused on the SSAD. Subsequently, the
EPDP Team also published its Addendum
<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/epdp-phase-2-addendum-2020-03-26-en> for
public comment on 26 March 2020, which was focused on priority 2 items. The
Final Report was delivered to the Council on 31 July 2020. Minority
Statements were accepted through 24 August 2020, and all statements
received by the deadline were incorporated into the Final Report
<https://gnso.icann.org/en/correspondence/epdp-phase-2-temp-spec-gtld-registration-data-2-31jul20-en.pdf>.
A webinar was held on 3 September 2020 to better inform the GNSO Council of
the recommendations contained within the Final Report, in advance of their
consideration of the report.

Here, the Council will vote to adopt the Final Report of the EPDP Team.

4.1 – Presentation of the motion <https://community.icann.org/x/wAS-C> (Rafik
Dammak)

4.2 – Council discussion

4.3 – Council vote (voting threshold: Supermajority)

*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). Furthermore, this action complies with the requirements set out
in Annex A: GNSO Policy Development Process of the ICANN Bylaws.*



*Item 5: COUNCIL DISCUSSION - Project Change Request (PCR) from the Review
of All Rights Protection Mechanisms (RPMs) in All gTLDs PDP WG (20 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 fulfill their purposes or whether
additional policy recommendations will be necessary.

On 20 February 2020, the Council approved a Project Change Request
<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/rpm-pdp-change-request-10feb20-en.pdf>
to
allow for additional time to deliver the groups Phase 1 Initial Report
(March 2020) and delivery of the Final Report (mid-October 2020). The PDP
has successfully published its Phase 1 Initial Report
<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/rpm-initial-report-2020-03-18-en> for
public comment on 18 March 2020 and has spent the time since reviewing the
extensive public comment received and seeking to agree on final
recommendations. The Co-Chairs have determined that additional time is
needed to accommodate substantive work, resulting in the WG missing its
mid-October delivery date for the Final Report. The Co-Chairs are therefore
submitting a Project Change Request. [INSERT LINK WHEN AVAILABLE]

Here, the Council will consider the Project Change Request and determine
how it wishes to proceed.

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 DISCUSSION - Expedited PDP (EPDP) on the Temporary
Specification Phase 2 Proposed Next Steps for Priority 2 Items (15 minutes)*

While the Phase 2 of the Expedited PDP (EPDP) on the Temporary
Specification published its Phase 2 Initial Report
<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/epdp-phase-2-initial-2020-02-07-en> for
public comment on 7 February 2020, focused on the SSAD, it also published
its Addendum
<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/epdp-phase-2-addendum-2020-03-26-en> for
public comment on 26 March 2020, which was focused on priority 2 items.
Rafik Dammak submitted a framework document
<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/draft-epdp-phase-2-priority-2-next-steps-consideration-02jun20-en.pdf>
to
both identify the list of topics and suggest possible next steps for the
Council to consider. A small team was convened to further develop the
proposed approach for priority 2 items and present to the full Council for
its consideration at a future date. The small team worked on its proposal
<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/docs.google.com/document/d/1FMSpEJHWdnNhEtnY7O7mRIHunAyx6tRR/edit__;!!PtGJab4!vNs14n1dNPp1_gFT3L0D7hNAAnKdzk5BMiDRUgDj51W5F0GqAw_pZsJAlnZLxl6DMnID8-xOjiQF$>,
which was shared with the Council on 11 August 2020 and discussed on the
August Council call. Taking into account discussions on that Council call,
the proposal
<https://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/epdp-2-priority-2-items-next-steps-10sep20-en.pdf>
has
been worked on further.

Here, the Council will discuss the revised proposal for handling priority 2
items.

6.1 – Introduction of topic (Rafik Dammak)

6.2 – Council discussion

6.3 – Next steps



*Item 7: COUNCIL DISCUSSION - Implementation Concerns for EPDP Phase 1
Recommendation 7, related to the Thick WHOIS Transition Policy (15 minutes)*

In adopting the Expedited Policy Development Process (EPDP) on the
Temporary Specification Final Report and Recommendations, the Council
requested that an informal Implementation Review Team (IRT) be established,
which was done. After the recommendations were approved by the ICANN Board,
the informal IRT transitioned to a formal IRT and has diligently been
working to implement the policy recommendations. Within the IRT, there are
diverging views amongst some IRT members on how to implement recommendation
7, especially in relation to the Thick WHOIS Transition Policy for .COM,
.NET, and .JOBS

The ICANN Board, taking note of the potential impasse, sent a letter
<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/botterman-to-drazek-2-11mar20-en.pdf>
to
the GNSO Council on 11 March 2020. The Council considered the letter and
agreed that recommendation 7 did not explicitly overturn the Thick Whois
Transition Policy; to do so will require the GNSO Council to initiate
policy development. The Council sent a response
<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/little-dammak-to-botterman-29may20-en.pdf>
to
the ICANN Board on 29 May 2020. The IRT has continued to try and implement
recommendation 7 but has still been unable to reach agreement. As such and
per the Council’s letter, the Council is requesting a briefing from, ”the
GNSO Council liaison detailing the precise nature of the impasse so that
the GNSO Council can make an informed determination on how to proceed.”

Here, the Council will receive a briefing from the GNSO Council liaison to
the IRT.

7.1 - Introduction of topic (GNSO Council liaison to the EPDP Phase 1 IRT,
Sebastien Ducos)

7.2 – Council discussion

7.3 – Next steps





*Item 8: COUNCIL DISCUSSION - Q&A with GNSO Chair Candidate (15 minutes)*

The Non-Contracted Parties House has nominated Philippe Fouquart as its
candidate for the GNSO Chair election. The Contract Parties House has not
elected to nominate a candidate.

Here, in advance of the election to take place during the Council’s
administrative meeting in October, the Council will consider the candidate
statement [INSERT LINK WHEN AVAILABLE] and participate in a Q&A session
with Philippe.

8.1 - Introduction of topic (Council leadership)

8.2 - Council discussion (Philippe Fouquart, all)

8.3 - Next steps



*Item 9: ANY OTHER BUSINESS (15 minutes)*



   - 9.1 - Preparation for ICANN69 bilateral meetings with the ICANN Board,
   ccNSO, GAC, and SSAC.
