>
> Item 4: UPDATE & DISCUSSION ? Policy vs. Implementation (15 minutes)
>
> Recent issues highlight an ongoing broader issue regarding the
> boundary between policy development and implementation work as well
> as the effective integration of policy development and integration
> work from the outset.
>
> In addition, the Council is increasingly asked to consider issues
> for policy guidance and may well need to look at the evolution of
> its own work and processes to accommodate this type of request.
>
> Recent discussions on the Council mailing list indicate that there
> is an interest to undertake further work on this issue. At the same
> time, ICANN Staff has published a paper that is intended to
> facilitate further community discussions on this topic.
>
> Further community discussion will take place in Beijing and the
> inclusion of this agenda item here serves to keep the issue on the
> agenda of the Council in the interim.
>
> 8.1 Discussion
> 8.2 Next steps
>
> Item 5: UPDATE & DISCUSSION - Whois Privacy and Proxy Relay and
> Reveal Study (10 minutes)
>
> At the ICANN Meeting in Toronto, Lyman Chapin presented the results
> of the survey that evaluated the feasibility of conducting a future
> in-depth study into communication Relay and identity Reveal
> requests sent for gTLD domain names registered using Proxy and
> Privacy services.
>
> The Council discussed this at its 14 February 2013 meeting but did
> not reach a firm conclusion. Some expressed concern about going
> ahead with the study now, when a lot of other Whois activities are
> going on, while others appeared to support moving forward as the
> study could result in data that would help inform ongoing Whois
> activities.
>
> One possible way forward is that staff is asked to go ahead with
> the RFP for this work and then report back to the Council before
> going ahead with the study? In this way, some of the preparatory
> work could be done, which would allow us to move forward quickly if/
> when the Council decides to move ahead.
>
> 9.1 ? Update as necessary
> 9.2 ? Discussion
> 9.3 ? Next steps
>
>
> Item 6: UPDATE & DISCUSSION ? Planning for Beijing (30 minutes)
>
> Making the most out of the face-to-face meeting time available at
> the ICANN Meeting in Beijing will take some planning. GNSO Council
> VC Mason Cole is working with staff to lead this effort.
> The Council now has the opportunity to discuss plans and provide
> feedback. Included in this item will be the opportunity to shape
> the topics and substance of the Council?s proposed meetings with
> other groups in Beijing such as the CCNSO, the GAC and the ICANN
> board.
>
> 10.1 ? Update (Mason Cole)
> 10.2 ? Discussion

> Item 11: Any Other Business (5 minutes)

> Approval by the ICANN Board, an Approved PDP Recommendation may be
> modified or amended by the GNSO Council with a GNSO Supermajority
