*Item 4: COUNCIL BRIEFING - Briefing from CPH DNS Abuse Group (40 minutes)*
The topic of DNS abuse was not explicitly identified in the charter of the
New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP (SubPro). However, it was a topic of
interest identified by the Competition, Consumer Trust and Consumer Choice
Review Team (CCT-RT), which made recommendations regarding the subject. In
considering the CCT-RT Final Report, the ICANN Board took varying actions
on 35 total recommendations, accepting some, passing through others, and
placing some in a pending status (see scorecard
<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/resolutions-final-cct-recs-scorecard-01mar19-en.pdf>).
SubPro considered the CCT-RT recommendations related to DNS abuse (i.e.,
14, 15, and 16) though they remain in a “Pending” status” (with the
exception of recommendation 16, which was partially passed through) and
have not been approved by the ICANN Board.
On 27 April 2020, the SubPro Co-Chairs sent a letter [gnso.icann.org]
<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/neuman-langdon-orr-to-drazek-27apr20-en.pdf__;!!PtGJab4!qN1xLlGbRBsKzKkdww2ova_O3WyT2lghLSiyh714-5oc6yOevvh_D2nGEP3C_l4dy_VkJwBOX3GF$>
to the GNSO Council to share the then current thinking of the Working Group
on the topic of DNS abuse, which was to recommend that a holistic solution
will be needed in all gTLDs, not just new gTLDs. The Council was briefed on
this expectation during its May 2020 Council meeting. The Board took
further action
<https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2020-10-22-en#2.a>
on some of the pending recommendations during its meeting in October of
2020, approving recommendation 16, though 14 and 15 remain in a pending
state (see scorecard [icann.org]
<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/icann.org/en/system/files/files/cct-pending-recs-board-action-22oct20-en.pdf__;!!PtGJab4!qN1xLlGbRBsKzKkdww2ova_O3WyT2lghLSiyh714-5oc6yOevvh_D2nGEP3C_l4dy_VkJwwCAiNh$>
).
The SubPro WG has since submitted its Final Report to the GNSO Council,
confirming its approach to not make DNS abuse recommendations, and instead
suggesting the holistic approach to all gTLDs; the GNSO Council adopted the
Final Report and relevant Outputs during its February 2021 Council meeting.
The GNSO Council has yet to take next steps on DNS abuse as it seeks to
better understand the community’s definitions of DNS abuse and where there
remain gaps in the community’s ability to combat DNS abuse in an effective
manner. As part of this educational and level-setting exercise, the GNSO
Council has invited the Contracted Parties House DNS Abuse Group to provide
an update on its work and to facilitate a discussion on the topic.
Here, the Council will receive an update from the CPH DNS Abuse Group and
engage in dialogue on DNS abuse.
4.1 – Introduction of topic (Council Leadership)
4.2 – Briefing and Council discussion (CPH DNS Abuse Group)
4.3 – Next steps
*Item 5: COUNCIL DISCUSSION - IGO Work Track Update and Council
Acknowledgment of Work Plan (15 minutes)*
On 18 April 2019, the Council voted
<https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocouncilmeetings/Motions+18+April+2019>
to
approve recommendations 1-4 of the Final Report from the IGO-INGO Access
to Curative Rights Protection Mechanisms PDP WG. The Council also resolved
to not approve Recommendation 5 and, ”directs the Review of All Rights
Protection Mechanisms in All gTLDs (RPM) PDP to consider, as part of its
Phase 2 work, whether an appropriate policy solution can be developed that
is generally consistent with Recommendations 1, 2, 3 & 4 of the PDP Final
Report and:
- accounts for the possibility that an IGO may enjoy jurisdictional
immunity in certain circumstances;
- does not affect the right and ability of registrants to file judicial
proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction;
- preserves registrants’ rights to judicial review of an initial UDRP or
URS decision; and
- recognizes that the existence and scope of IGO jurisdictional immunity
in any particular situation is a legal issue to be determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction.”
In respect of that resolution, the GNSO Council prepared an Addendum
[gnso.icann.org]
<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/rpms-charter-addendum-09jan20-en.pdf__;!!PtGJab4!qN1xLlGbRBsKzKkdww2ova_O3WyT2lghLSiyh714-5oc6yOevvh_D2nGEP3C_l4dy_VkJxBg-uD-$>
to
the RPMs PDP charter to support work related to Recommendation 5 and
approved [gnso.icann.org]
<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions/2020*202001__;Iw!!PtGJab4!qN1xLlGbRBsKzKkdww2ova_O3WyT2lghLSiyh714-5oc6yOevvh_D2nGEP3C_l4dy_VkJyWcKy-E$>
it
during its January 2020 Council meeting. During its September 2020 Council
meeting, the Council agreed to initiate both the Expressions of Interest
process to identify a single, qualified Work Track Chair and issue a call
for Members and Observers to join the IGO Work Track. Led by Chris Disspain
as the Chair, the Work Track has been meeting since late February of 2021.
The Work Track has sought to make meaningful progress within the bounds of
the Addendum, with members recognizing that this foundational discussion
will influence how the group will work and thus, what its work plan should
look like.
In chartering this work, the GNSO Council expected that the work should be
completed in an efficient manner and that frequent updates to the Council
would be helpful to ensure an effective outcome.
Here, the Council will receive an update on the progress of the Work Track
and acknowledge the Work Track’s work plan.
5.1 – Introduction of topic (Council Leadership)
5.2 – Council discussion
5.3 – Next steps
*Item 6: COUNCIL DISCUSSION - Status Update Regarding EPDP Phase 2A (10
minutes)*
On 21 October 2020, the GNSO Council approved the initiation
[gnso.icann.org]
<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions/2020*202010__;Iw!!PtGJab4!qN1xLlGbRBsKzKkdww2ova_O3WyT2lghLSiyh714-5oc6yOevvh_D2nGEP3C_l4dy_VkJ0CJdeAq$>
of EPDP Phase 2A, to examine the topics of legal/natural and feasibility of
unique contacts. In doing so, the Council required that:
"[a]t the latest 3 months after reconvening, the Chair of the EPDP Team and
GNSO Council Liaison to the EPDP will report back to the GNSO Council on
the status of deliberations. Based on this report, which is expected to
include an update on progress made and the expected likelihood of consensus
recommendations, the GNSO Council will decide on next steps, which could
include providing additional time for the EPDP to finalize its
recommendations or termination of the EPDP if it is clear that no progress
is being made or consensus is unlikely).”
During the February Council meeting, the Chair of the EPDP Team and GNSO
Council Liaison to the EPDP shared a presentation
<https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/155192465/EPDP%20Phase%202%20Council%20update%20-%2024%20March%202021%20FINAL%5B1%5D%20%20-%20%20Read-Only.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1616514677000&api=v2>
and provided an update to the Council. The Council agreed that more time
should be afforded to continue to make progress. The EPDP Team has since
received responses from Bird & Bird to the EPDP Team’s Legal Committee’s
questions.
Here, GNSO Council Liaison to the EPDP will provide an update on the EPDP
Team’s progress to the Council
6.1 – Introduction of topic (Philippe Fouquart, GNSO Council liaison to the
EPDP Team)
6.2 – Council discussion
6.3 – Next steps
*Item 7: COUNCIL DISCUSSION - Wrap-up from the extraordinary meeting (15
minutes)*
With an abundance of work and less interaction and meeting time during
virtual meetings versus in-person ICANN meetings, the GNSO Council realized
that additional dedicated time is needed for the GNSO Council to deliberate
on substantive matters. As a result, the GNSO Council scheduled and held an
extraordinary meeting on 8 April 2021, covering four topics:
- EPDP Phase 1 Rec 27 (Wave 1.5)
- Introduction to the Briefing Paper on Accuracy Requirements and
Programs from ICANN’s Global Domains & Strategy (GDS)
- GNSO Council Consideration of SAC114
- GNSO Framework for Continuous Improvement
Here, the Council will discuss its takeaways from that meeting and discuss
proposed paths forward as applicable and where available.
7.1 – Introduction of topic (Council Leadership)
7.2 – Council discussion
7.3 – Next steps
*Item 8: ANY OTHER BUSINESS (5 minutes)*
8.1 - Timeline for GNSO Chair election
8.2 - GNSO Council liaison to the SSAD Operational Design Phase
