*Item 4: COUNCIL VOTE - Approval to Initiate a Two-Phased Policy
Development Process on the Transfer Policy (15 minutes)*
The GNSO Council established a Transfer Policy Review Scoping Team to
provide recommendations on the approach to a potential review and future
policy work related to the Transfer Policy, including composition of the
review team or PDP working group and scope of the review. The Transfer
Policy Review Scoping Team delivered a Transfer Policy Initial Scoping Paper
<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/transfer-policy-review-scoping-team-06apr20-en.pdf>
on April 6, 2020 in which it recommended the GNSO Council instruct ICANN
Policy staff to draft a Preliminary Issue Report. On 24 June 2020, the
Council requested the preparation of a Preliminary Issue Report. The
Preliminary Issue Report was published for public comment on 12 October
2020 and after the report was adjusted to take into account public comments
as appropriate, the Final Issue Report
<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/final-issue-report-pdp-transfer-policy-review-12jan21-en.pdf>
was delivered to the GNSO Council on 12 January 2021.
The Final Issue Report includes a recommendation that the GNSO Council
proceed with a two-phased Policy Development Process (PDP) that will
address the following topic areas in sequence:
- Phase 1(a): Form of Authorization (including Rec. 27, Wave 1 FOA
issues) and AuthInfo Code
- Phase 1(b): Change of Registrant (including Rec. 27, Wave 1 Change of
Registrant issues)
- Phase 2: Transfer Emergency Action Contact and reversing
inter-registrar transfers, Transfer Dispute Resolution Policy (including
Rec. 27, Wave 1 TDRP issues), NACKing transfers, ICANN-approved transfers
The General Counsel of ICANN has indicated that the topics recommended for
review are properly within the scope of the ICANN policy process and the
GNSO. On 1 February 2021, policy staff shared a pre-recorded webinar
<https://community.icann.org/x/J4FeCQ> to help Councilors prepare for this
agenda item.
Here, the Council will vote to initiate a two-phased PDP to review the
Transfer Policy, as recommended in the Final Issue Report.
4.1 - Presentation of motion <https://community.icann.org/x/SAtACQ> (TBD)
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: GNSO Policy Development Process of the ICANN Bylaws.*
*Item 5: COUNCIL VOTE - Final Report and Outputs From the New gTLD
Subsequent Procedures PDP (20 minutes)*
The New gTLD Subsequent Procedures (SubPro) PDP was chartered in January
2016 to review the 2012 New gTLD Program round to determine what, if any
changes may need to be made to the existing 2007 Introduction of New
Generic Top-Level Domains policy recommendations. After extensive WG
deliberations and a number of community consultations, the WG
delivered its Final
Report
<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/final-report-newgtld-subsequent-procedures-pdp-02feb21-en.pdf>
to the GNSO Council on 18 January 2021. Because of the volume of
outputs(e.g., affirmations, recommendations, implementation guidance, etc.)
and length of the report, the PDP Co-Chairs believed that similar to the
Final Report for the All Rights Protection Mechanisms (RPMs) in All gTLDs
PDP WG, a preliminary briefing would be beneficial and therefore, scheduled
a briefing during the January 2020 Council meeting.
Subsequently, and again similar to the RPMs PDP, the GNSO Council liaison
to the PDP and the Co-Chairs held a detailed webinar and discussion on the
report, to better prepare the Council for a vote during a subsequent
Council meeting.
Here, the Council will vote to adopt the Final Report of the SubPro WG.
5.1 - Presentation of motion <https://community.icann.org/x/SAtACQ> (GNSO
Council liaison to the PDP, Flip Petillion)
5.2 – Council discussion
5.3 – Council vote (voting threshold: supermajority)
*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: GNSO Policy Development Process of the ICANN Bylaws.*
*Item 6: COUNCIL DISCUSSION – Charter for the Transfer Policy PDP (20
minutes)*
In connection to item 4, if the Council initiates a PDP on the Transfer
Policy, it will subsequently need to adopt a charter. The Preliminary Issue
Report included a draft charter, which was included in the public comment
proceeding. That draft charter is also included in the Final Issue Report.
Comment on the draft charter was solicited from Councilors via a
pre-recorded webinar <https://community.icann.org/x/J4FeCQ>prior to this
Council meeting.
Here, the Council will discuss whether there are substantive changes needed
for the draft charter and determine next steps as appropriate.
6.1 – Introduction of topic (Council leadership)
6.2 – Council discussion
6.3 – Next steps
*Item 7: COUNCIL UPDATE - Update from the Internationalized Domain Names
(IDNs) EPDP Charter Drafting Team (15 minutes)*
During the Council’s October 2020 meeting, the Council agreed to launch a
call for volunteers and to establish a drafting team to develop a draft
charter and an EPDP initiation request for the IDN Policy Track 2. That
drafting team met for the first time on 5 January 2021 and since then has
steadily made progress, recently agreeing for the most part to a set of
principles and underlying assumptions to help make its work more efficient.
Previous to that agreement, making progress was challenging, resulting in
an extension of the expected completion date from the March Council meeting
to the May Council meeting (see workplan here
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mD0soQAd-OfPQCiY5aHls3HVltq0CtSu8aAlZ5zQlAk/edit#gid=0>
).
Here, the Council will receive an update from the drafting team.
7.1 – Introduction of topic (Chair of the drafting team, Dennis Tan)
7.2 – Council discussion
7.3 – Next steps
*Item 8: ANY OTHER BUSINESS (20 minutes)*
8.1 - EPDP-P2A Project and Work Plan commitment
8.2 - Update from the GNSO Council liaison to the GAC, including his
discussion with the GAC point of contact to the GNSO, Jorge Cancio.
8.3 - ICANN70 GNSO sessions
