Greetings everyone,
As you might have seen from Brenda, our December Policy call was cancelled
because councillors will be enroute to Los Angeles for the Council
Strategic Planning Session on the day. As a result, we thought we should
instead have a list discussion of topics that will be up for discussion and
action at the council meeting later this week.
You will find below this email a proposed agenda for the council meeting
but I wanted to highlight some areas or topics that your input might help
guide how our councillors discuss or act during the meeting on them.
1. *Expired Domain Deletion Policy and the Expired Registration Recovery
Policy Next Steps:* You can read the details in the agenda below but I
would love to hear your thoughts, if any, regarding how you think the
council should proceed with reviewing these 2 policies, taking into
consideration (a) council's capacity concerns and (b) the report from
Contractual Compliance
<https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2022-November/026164.html>
regarding the two policies.
*2. Standing Committee on ICANN Budget & Operations (SCBO) new approach:*
The council's Standing Committee on ICANN Budget and Operations (SCBO) has
in the past been limited to drafting the council's comments on ICANN's
operating plan and budget cycle. Its membership was limited to councilors
but welcomed community members with relevant experience. Interest in the
group and work has however waned over the years and council leadership is
proposing to to evolve the SCBO away from its limited focus on drafting
public comments on behalf of the GNSO Council, towards a central forum for
all of the GNSO more broadly to be able to interface with ICANN finance and
gather information and ask questions as needed. What is important to note
is that this new central forum would NOT be responsible for drafting a
singular public comment on behalf of the GNSO; the GNSO Council and SG/Cs
would retain the ability to submit individual public comments, as they do
now. I have attached the proposal to this email as well and would like to
hear your thoughts.
Warmly,
Tomslin

*Item 4: COUNCIL VOTE - Adopting the Council Committee for Overseeing and
Implementing Continuous Improvements (CCOICI)’s Work Stream 2 (WS2)
Recommendations Report (15 minutes)*
The Council received a brief update on WS2 from ICANN org during its
September 2021 meeting and received a more detailed update in February
2022, to better understand the level of progress it has already made via
already completed work (e.g., the development of guidelines and templates
to support the GNSO as a Decisional Participant in the Empowered Community)
and the limited set of remaining WS2 tasks.
The Council then considered the best path forward to complete the remaining
work and agreed to extend the CCOICI pilot to include the WS2 work. The
CCOICI has now completed this assignment and shared its WS2 Recommendations
Report
<https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/attachments/20221104/e04b754d/CCOICIWS2RecommendationsReportFINAL-2November2022-0001.pdf>
on 4 November 2022. The Council received a briefing from the former Chair
of the CCOICI during its November meeting.
Here, the Council will vote to adopt the CCOICI’s WS2 Recommendations
Report.
4.1 – Presentation of motion <https://community.icann.org/x/pQjVD> (Manju
Chen, Chair of the CCOICI)
4.2 – Council discussion
4.3 - Council vote (voting threshold: simple majority)
*Item 5: COUNCIL DISCUSSION - Expired Domain Deletion Policy and the
Expired Registration Recovery Policy Next Steps (15 minutes)*
In October 2020, the GNSO Council considered when to request a Policy
Status Report to conduct a review of the two Expiration Policies, the
Expired Domain Deletion Policy (EDDP) and the Expired Registration Recovery
Policy (ERRP). Given concerns about capacity, along with the general
perception that no known issues have presented themselves, the Council
agreed in November 2020 to delay the request for the Policy Status Report
(PSR) that had been identified by the Action Decision Radar as requiring
consideration; the deferral was for a period of 24 months, necessitating
consideration November 2022.
In July 2022, the Council agreed that it would be helpful to check with the
registrars and ICANN Compliance to help determine if there are any known
issues or concerns with either of the two Expiration Policies which could
warrant requesting a PSR. A report from Contractual Compliance
<https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2022-November/026164.html> was
shared with the Council on 1 November 2022 and feedback from the registrars
has been shared in the past on previous Council calls. The Council received
a briefing on the report from ICANN Compliance and the Council briefly
considered potential next steps. One suggestion may be to task a Councilor
member to review the report from Contractual Compliance in detail and
determine if any of the issues raised warrant further work at present. That
analysis will help inform the Council overall and allow the Council to
formally record its determination as appropriate.
Here, the Council will consider appropriate next steps.
5.1 – Introduction of topic (Council leadership)
5.2 – Council discussion
5.3 – Next steps
*Item 6: COUNCIL DISCUSSION - Debrief From Council-Specific SubPro
Operational Design Assessment (ODA) Webinar and Q&A (35 Minutes)*
On 12 September 2021 the ICANN Board directed
<https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2021-09-12-en#1.a>
the ICANN President and CEO to organize the resources required to begin
work on the Operational Design Phase (ODP) for the GNSO’s New gTLD
Subsequent Procedures Final Report
<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/final-report-newgtld-subsequent-procedures-pdp-02feb21-en.pdf>
and the Affirmations, Recommendations, and Implementation Guidance
contained in that report. On 20 December 2021, ICANN org announced
<https://www.icann.org/en/announcements/details/icann-launches-new-gtld-subsequent-procedures-operational-design-phase-20-12-2021-en>
that the SubPro ODP had formally launched, starting at the beginning of
January 2022. The ODP Team has shared numerous updates to the community and
sent several sets of assumptions/questions to the GNSO Council via the
Council’s liaison to the ODP.
ICANN org is expected to publish the SubPro Operational Design Assessment
(ODA) on 12 December. In advance of publication of the ODA, the Council
will receive a briefing during a webinar on 7 December. While it is
unlikely that there is adequate time for Councilors to have reviewed the
ODA in detail, there may be initial impressions from council-specific
webinar. The ICANN org staff that supported the SubPro Operational Design
Phase (ODP) will be available to answer questions and engage in dialogue.
Here, the Council will hold a debrief from the council-specific SubPro ODA
webinar and engage with ICANN org staff that supported the ODP/ODA.
6.1 – Introduction of topic (Council leadership)
6.2 – Council discussion
6.3 – Next steps
*Item 7: ANY OTHER BUSINESS (15 minutes)*
7.1 - Vacant Council Liaison positions (TPR)
7.2 - Standing Committee on ICANN Budget & Operations (SCBO) new approach -

7.3 - Any suggested Additional Budget Requests (ABRs)?
7.4 - Update on RPMs IRT timeline.
