*Item 4: COUNCIL VOTE - Initiation of the GNSO Guidance Process on
Applicant Support (20 minutes)*
In relation to the SubPro ODP, ICANN org shared question set #2
<https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/subpro-odp/attachments/20220211/93bd5c93/SubProODP_QS2-0001.docx>
with the GNSO Council’s liaison to the ODP on 11 February 2022, who
subsequently shared the questions and an update
<https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2022-February/025440.html> with the
Council. While the question set was specifically about the topic of
Applicant Support, it introduced broader procedural concerns, about whether
the level of substantive work recommended by SubPro to be conducted by an
IRT, would be beyond the commonly understood scope of the IRT.
The Council agreed that it should explore finding avenues to complete that
level of substantive work in advance of the expected IRT that would be
convened upon ICANN Board adoption of the SubPro Outputs. The potential
model to address this work is the GNSO Guidance Process. ICANN org staff
worked with Jeff Neuman and Council leadership to prepare a draft GGP
Initiation request, which was shared
<https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2022-May/025646.html> on Council
list on 4 May 2022.
The Council first discussed the potential GGP durings its May meeting and
concerns, as well as uncertainty about the mechanism itself, were expressed
both during the meeting and afterwards on the Council mailing list. The
potential GGP was discussed further during the Council’s June meeting, with
general agreement it should be limited to the singular topic of Applicant
Support. There was however discussion that additional topics should be able
to be added to the existing GGP, at the discretion of the Council.
The updated GGP, with Applicant Support as the only topic, was shared with
the Council ahead of the July meeting in advance of a potential vote. The
vote was deferred and after additional discussion, the Council agreed that
more time was needed to refine the Initiation Request, especially the
membership structure; the overall sentiment seemed to be that membership
structure needed to be reduced both in terms of complexity and number of
members. A new version
<https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2022-August/025885.html> that seeks
to address these concerns was circulated on 12 August 2022.
Here, the Council will vote on the GGP Initiation Request.
4.1 – Presentation of motion <https://community.icann.org/x/CIRJD>
(Philippe Fouquart)
4.2 – Council discussion
4.3 – Council vote (voting threshold: an affirmative vote of more than
one-third (1/3) of each House or more than two-thirds (2/3) of one House)
*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-2: GNSO Guidance Process of the ICANN Bylaws.*
*Item 5: COUNCIL DISCUSSION - Council Commitments Document (15 minutes)*
During the Council’s Strategic Planning Session (SPS), a Civility Pledge
that has been developed within the IPC was mentioned. This inspired an
action item to consider the development of a series of commitments for
Councilors to adopt, beyond what is expressly identified in the GNSO
Operating Procedures. A first draft of a set of proposed commitments was
shared <https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2022-June/025731.html> on
the Council mailing list on 8 June 2022.
The Council held a brief discussion on the draft during its wrap-up session
at ICANN74, where some comments and suggestions were shared. Those
suggestions were integrated and the updated document
<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/docs.google.com/document/d/1rmft4PPLzFB0rE9IWEi86eMZYrlgDaXT/edit__;!!PtGJab4!4rWyRIPtfUXG9v-RWO8hSaOjCSHpOjuDWwNbLNmX3DUx7wj89ekjoIpsMUsB3l_69LUivY3IwQZAc3dmlNUSdhi7aMU$>
was shared on 22 June 2022 and briefly discussed during the GNSO Council
meeting on 21 July 2022.
Here, the Council will discuss how this document will be used and promoted,
which will inform development of a motion to adopt the document. The
intention is to adopt the document at the next Council meeting.
*5.1 – Introduction of topic (Sebastien Ducos)*
*5.2 – Council discussion*
*5.3 – Next steps*
*Item 6. COUNCIL DISCUSSION - Preparation for Joint Meetings at ICANN75 (20
minutes)*
The GNSO Council is scheduled to meet with the ICANN Board, the
Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC), and the At-Large Advisory Committee
(ALAC) during the course of ICANN75. In order to make the best use of the
meeting time with each of these groups, the Council will discuss how it
wants to approach each of these meetings. This is expected to include
reviewing topics proposed by the other groups, identifying topics that the
Council wants to propose for discussion, and identifying topics leads.
Of note, the topic(s) for the discussion with the ICANN Board are due by 9
September. The Board has suggested spending half of the scheduled time to
discuss this topic, with the other half of the time dedicated to the
Council’s selected topic:
“What collaborative actions should the Community, Board and Org be
undertaking to further progress achieving our strategic priorities?”
The ALAC has suggested the following two topics:
- The GNSO Council Small Team on DNS Abuse's work; and
- The terms of reference for the proposed pilot Holistic Review, being a
recommendation of the ATRT3.
The following are potential topics for the GAC bilateral:
- SSAD Light
- Subsequent Rounds of New gTLDs
- DNS Abuse
- Accuracy
Here, the Council will prepare for its bilateral meetings with other
community groups at ICANN75.
6.1 – Introduction of topic (Council leadership)
6.2 – Council discussion
6.3 – Next steps
*Item 7: COUNCIL DISCUSSION - PDP Improvements Tracker - Review of Format
(15 Minutes)*
During the ICANN73 wrap up, the Council discussed a number of parallel
conversations that have emerged since implementing PDP 3.0, identifying
other aspects of the PDP where improvements could be considered. In
addition, there are a number of projects on the Council’s Action Decision
Radar (ADR) related to PDP improvements which will need to be addressed at
some point in the future.
To provide the Council with a clear picture of these different parallel
initiatives and projects, and to avoid overlap and ensure complementarity,
the staff support team developed a discussion paper
<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2022/draft/draft-gnso-pdp-improvements-discussion-paper-25apr22-en.pdf>.
In addition to an overview of the different initiatives and projects, the
paper also suggests a possible approach for managing these different
initiatives by focusing on 1) which elements could be implemented with
relatively minimal effort, 2) which elements could be implemented with some
effort, 3) which elements need careful planning and consideration before
these can be implemented. It is envisioned in the paper that going forward,
progress on these different initiatives could be tracked through a PDP
improvements tracker to ensure oversight and allow for forward planning
which can factor in these commitments. The GNSO Council discussed the
discussion paper and agreed that to better understand the concept, it would
be helpful to have an example of what the tracker may look like. A draft of
the PDP Improvements Tracker
<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2022/draft/draft-pdp-improvements-tracker-overview-7jun22-en.pdf>
was prepared and discussed during the Council’s June meeting. After
incorporating input, the approach was again discussed during the July
meeting where no objections were received to track and manage the work in
the suggested manner.
As a first step towards the substantive review of the items in the tracker,
Council leadership has worked with the staff support team to develop a
survey to obtain initial input from Council members as well as Stakeholder
Group and Constituency leadership that will help inform the substantive
review of the proposed improvements and next steps. A sample of the survey
was circulated to the Council list on 05 July 2022
<https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2022-July/025797.html>.
Here, the Council will discuss whether it has any concerns about this
approach to initiating the substantive review of the items on the PDP
Improvements Tracker. If no concerns are flagged, the idea would be to
launch the survey shortly after the Council meeting to allow for a first
review of survey responses during the GNSO working session at ICANN75.
7.1 – Introduction of topic (Council leadership)
7.2 – Council discussion
7.3 – Next steps
*Item 8: COUNCIL DISCUSSION - Revised Uniform Domain Name Dispute
Resolution Policy (UDRP) Policy Status Report (PSR) (15 minutes)*
On 21 January 2021, the GNSO Council approved the recommendations from the
Phase 1 Final Report of the GNSO Policy Development Process (PDP) on the
Review of All Rights Protection Mechanisms (RPMs) in All gTLDs, covering
RPMs applicable to gTLDs launched under the 2012 New gTLD Program. The
Council has discussed the need to review the RPMs charter in advance of
launching Phase 2 of the PDP, which is focused on the UDRP.
The Council determined at the time that the best path forward was to
request a Policy Status Report (PSR) to help inform next steps. The Council
discussed the approach for the PSR with ICANN org’s Global Domains &
Strategy (GDS) team over the course of several meetings in 2021, agreeing
on the scope and purpose of the PSR during the October 2021 Council meeting.
GDS completed the draft PSR and published
<https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/policy-status-report-uniform-domain-name-dispute-resolution-policy-udrp-03-03-2022>
it for public comment on 3 March 2022. The revised PSR
<https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2022-July/025826.html> (redline
<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/udrp-status-report-redlined-13jul22-en.pdf.>)
was shared with the Council on 18 July.
Here, the Council will receive a briefing from GDS regarding the updates
made based on public comment received.
