   NONE Yet 

https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocouncilmeetings/Motions+14+March+2013 

B. Discussion Issues (no vote) 

1. Policy vs. Implementation 

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 

<http://gnso.icann.org/en/correspondence/policy-implementation-framework-08j 

an13-en.pdf>   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. 

ICANN Public Comment Forum on Policy vs. Implementation:

2,  Whois Privacy and Proxy Relay and Reveal Study 

At the ICANN Meeting in Toronto, Lyman Chapin presented the results of the 

survey 

<http://toronto45.icann.org/meetings/toronto2012/presentation-whois-survey-1 

7oct12-en.pdf>  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. 

3.  GNSO Council in Beijing Meeting Planning 

The GNSO Council has 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. 

What topics would NCSG members like to see on GNSO Council's discussion agendas in Beijng? 

4.  Confirmation of attendance of NCSG Representatives for 14 March meeting and need for any proxies to be arranged?
