[NCSG-PC] Prep for NCSG Policy call 22nd August and Council call

Fri Aug 18 03:52:16 EEST 2017

Hi All,

we will have our NCSG Polic call next week Tuesday and the council call.
I copied the draft agenda but it is going to be amended

we have 2 motions to vote on:
- on CCWG-IG, we submitted some amnendments. not all seen as friendly and
it is still under discussion. I am checking if we can reach common ground
with Keith. Wolf-Ulrich suggested some edits.
- on  rep replacement to SSR RT, and that is placeholder for the selection
from the SSC. Poncelet probably can give more updates.

it was proposed that the item #6 to be replaced with discussion about
subsequent procedure WG and WT5. as you recall there was thread ongoing on
council list https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2017-August/020268.html
regarding the working methods of WT5 (some are concerend that will follow
CCWG model for decision-making).

there is also the topic regarding the procedure for handling whois
conflict. we made comment in the last public consulation in July.

please review the agenda and material prior to the call, since we need to
brief our members and explain our votes.

I would also like to suggest of someone can volunteer to take notes on the
discusson and/decisions we reach during the call.

Best,

Rafik

*Item 4: COUNCIL VOTE – Updated Charter for the Cross Community Working

At ICANN57 in Hyderabad in November 2016, the GNSO Council approved a
motion conditioning the future participation of the GNSO as a Chartering
Organization of the CCWG on Internet Governance (CCWG-IG) upon a
comprehensive review of the group’s Charter by the CCWG-IG, in accordance
with the Framework of Uniform Principles for CCWGs that had been adopted
recently by the ccNSO and GNSO Councils
(*http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/uniform-framework-principles-recommendations-16sep16-en.pdf
<http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/uniform-framework-principles-recommendations-16sep16-en.pdf>*).
In its resolution, the GNSO Council had noted that the CCWG-IG’s future
work is expected to be subject to a clear work plan, with regular updates
and clear deliverables, and had requested that, by ICANN58, the CCWG-IG was
to report on its findings, which report may include a revised charter, and
the CCWG-IG was to also consider whether it will be preferable to
reconstitute the group under a new structure
(*https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions
- 20161107-3 <https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions#20161107-3>*).
The CCWG-IG provided a written report on its 2016 activity and a draft
revised Charter for the GNSO Council’s consideration on 10th March
2017 (*http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2017-March/019816.html
<http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2017-March/019816.html>*)

At its Public Meeting at ICANN58 in Copenhagen on 15 March 2017 and its
joint meeting with the ccNSO Council on 13 March 2017, the Council engaged
in a discussion with the CCWG-IG co-chairs regarding the group’s reports.
At the GNSO Council’s call on 18 May 2017, the Council continued its
discussion of the topic as well as during ICANN59 during which it became
clear that although there is strong support to continue the GNSO’s
involvement in Internet Governance, a CCWG is not considered the
appropriate vehicle for such involvement.

The Council discussed this motion on its 13 July 2017 call, where the vote
was deferred. Here the Council will consider the motion that has been
submitted in relation to this topic.

4.1 – Presentation of *motion <https://community.icann.org/x/kAwhB>* (Keith

4.2 – Council discussion

4.3 – Council vote (voting threshold: simple majority)

*Item 5. COUNCIL VOTE – Replacement for GNSO member for the Second
Security, Stability, and Resiliency of the DNS (SSR2) Review Team*

On 19 January 2017, the GNSO Council voted to approve its three primary
candidates for the Second Security, Stability, and Resiliency Review Team
(SSR2-RT). Emily Taylor, one of those three candidates, has since resigned
from the SSR2-RT. The Standing Selection Committee (SSC) has been tasked
with recommending a replacement candidate to be considered by the GNSO
Council.

Taking into account the criteria outlined in the call for volunteers, the
SSC has performed its review process and selected [name] to replace Emily
Taylor on the SSR2-RT.

Here, the Council will vote to approve [name] as the replacement for Emily
Taylor on the SSR2-RT.

*Item 6. COUNCIL DISCUSSION – Changing the Name of the GNSO (15 minutes)*

Some in the community have noted that as domain name are available
globally, the term “generic” has certain meanings to different parts of the
ICANN community, that the usage of “generic” to describe a .brand is
potentially confusing, and among other reasons, that it might make sense to
substitute the word “Generic” for “Global” in Generic Names Supporting
Organization.

To consider this change, some on the GNSO Council have suggested that a
narrowly scoped Drafting Team should be formed to determine whether a
change of this nature is recommended and if so, develop a proposed
implementation plan to effectuate that change.

Here, the Council will discuss whether it supports the premise of changing
the name of the GNSO and if so, what next steps might be.

6.1 – Presentation of discussion topic (Paul McGrady)

6.2 – Council discussion

6.3 – Next Steps

*Item 7: COUNCIL DISCUSSION – Review of the Revised ICANN Procedure for
Handling Whois Conflicts with Privacy Law (20 minutes)*

As a result of community input and the work of the Implementation Advisory
Group (IAG), ICANN made effective the revised Whois Procedure
<https://whois.icann.org/en/revised-icann-procedure-handling-whois-conflicts-privacy-law>
on 18 April 2017 to better accommodate issues where Whois requirements
conflict with applicable laws.

As requested by this GNSO Council, ICANN published a paper
<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/whois-privacy-conflicts-procedure-03may17-en.pdf>
for public comment
<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/whois-privacy-law-2017-05-03-en> to
provide analysis and solicit community input on the practicality and
feasibility of the triggers identified in the revised Whois procedure. The
public comment period was also intended to collect suggestions for moving
forward with the review. The public comment period closed on 7 July 2017
and the staff report of public comments
<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/report-comments-whois-privacy-law-28jul17-en.pdf>
was published on 28 July 2017.

On 1 August 2017, the Council received a letter
<https://gnso.icann.org/en/correspondence/atallah-to-bladel-et-al-01aug17-en.pdf>
from Akram Attalah, providing a collection of possible options for
proceeding with the review, and offering to discuss those options or others
identified by Council.

Here, the Council will discuss options for moving forward with the review
of the Whois Procedure.

7.1 – Update on current status (GNSO Council chairs)

7.2 – Council Discussion

7.3 – Next Steps

*Item 8: COUNCIL DISCUSSION – PLANNING FOR ICANN60 (10 minutes)*

https://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/icann60-draft-prelim-block
-schedule-27jun17-en.pdf) – note that further updates have been made as a
result of the SO/AC Planning Committee and the resulting cross-community
session selections. Based on requests received to date from the different
GNSO PDP WGs, CCWGs WGs, and cross community session landscape, the Council
leadership has revised its draft GNSO schedule for Council input and
review, available here. Following Council review, this draft GNSO schedule
will again be shared with the GNSO Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies to
facilitate their planning and scheduling.
