[PC-NCSG] [council] Dublin prep

[Amr Elsadr]

Hi,

I have two:

1. The ICANN Board:

a. I don?t know exactly how to initiate a dialogue around this sensitively, but I am increasingly bothered by the ICANN board taking it upon itself to make changes to the registry agreements with registries from the BRG. First, the issue of Specification 13, and now?, an open public comment period on the removal of of searchable WHOIS from the .SHARP RA. These seem to me like issues that should go through a GNSO process. If the traditional PDP is too long and slow for the liking of the BRG folks, another approach would have been to wait until the board adopts the new GNSO processes recommended by the policy and implementation working group (also subject to public comment now as part of board consideration).

b. I would also wish to convey to the ICANN board that there needs to be some dialogue between the board and the GNSO council on how the principles recommended the policy and implementation working group are being considered for adoption, and what the appropriate method for adopting them may be. These principles may not necessarily fit too well into the PDP manual or the bylaws, but should be published somewhere. They compliment the new GNSO processes rather nicely, and if not adopted, these new processes will not have the impact that was intended by the GNSO.

2. The GAC:

a. Might be worthwhile to have an honest discussion during the joint meeting between the GNSO council and the GAC on their perception of going through the pilot process of early engagement in the GNSO?s PDP. Two requests for issue reports have been made since this pilot project was implemented. There should be some early indications on how well they?ve managed to manoeuvre through the recommendations of the GAC/GNSO consultative group.

Thanks.

Amr
