*Item 4: COUNCIL VOTE - SubPro Small Team Clarifying Statement (20 minutes)*
During its informal session at ICANN76 and the subsequent Council meeting,
the Council discussed and agreed
<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2023/minutes/minutes-gnso-council-15mar23-en.pdf>
to
task a small team of interested councilors to review the recommendations
that the Board placed in a pending status and suggest to the full Council
how the underlying concerns that caused the pending status can be best
addressed (i.e., a limited triage exercise).
Since ICANN76, the Council SubPro Small Team has met several times and has
completed a comprehensive review of the issues chart, with Board member
input on why the Board placed specific recommendations into a pending
status. The Council discussed the main output of that triage effort, the
proposed paths forward for each pending recommendation, during an
Extraordinary Meeting on 4 May. During that meeting, the Council agreed to
further task the small team with taking interim steps (e.g., provision of
clarifying information, developing speaking points) in order to support the
Council’s dialogue with the ICANN Board on 22 May
<https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=240617931>. The
Council debriefed after the dialogue with the ICANN Board and discussed
next steps.
During the ICANN77 Day 0 Session, the Council heard from the members of the
Board regarding the Board’s views on potential “landing spots” on the
pending recommendations. Following this discussion, the Small Team has
drafted clarifying statements for items in landing spot one (“Provision of
Clarifying Statement to the Board”). During its meeting in July, the
Council received an update from the Small Team on the proposed clarifying
statement.
Here, the Council will vote on the clarifying statement.
4.1 – Introduction of topic (Paul McGrady, SubPro Small Team Chair)
4.2 – Council discussion
4.3 – Council Vote
*Item 5: COUNCIL DISCUSSION - GNSO Council Committee for Overseeing and
Implementing Continuous Improvement (CCOICI) Recommendations Report on
Review of the Statement of Interest (SOI) Requirements (20 minutes)*
The GNSO Framework for Continuous Improvement Pilot was initiated in June
2021 to determine whether the framework, as outlined here
<https://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/continuous-improvement-oversight-implementation-framework-29jun21-en.pdf>,
could serve as an approach for dealing with the various projects that are
focused on improvements to GNSO processes and procedures.
The CCOICI tasked <https://community.icann.org/x/NAAiCw> the GNSO Statement
of Interest (SOI) Task Force to address the following questions:
1. Is the original objective of the SOI, as stated in the BGC WG Report,
still valid? If not, why not and what should the current objective be?
2. Based on the response to question 1), is the requested information to
be provided as part of the SOI still fit for purpose? If not, why not, and
what would need to be changed to make it fit for purpose?
3. Are there any further measures that should be considered from an
enforcement / escalation perspective, in addition or instead of those
already included in the requirements?
The Council Committee for Overseeing and Implementing Continuous
Improvement (CCOICI) submitted to the GNSO Council for consideration its
Recommendations Report following its review of the Recommendations Report
submitted to the CCOICI by the GNSO Statement of Interest Task Force based
on their review of the GNSO Statement of Interest (SOI) Requirements as
well as their review of the input received in response to the public
comment forum.
Here, the Council will hear an overview of the CCOICI Recommendations
Report
<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2023/correspondence/chen-to-gnso-council-14aug23-en.pdf>on
the SOI Requirements.

5.2 - Council Discussion
5.3 - Next Steps
*Item 6: COUNCIL DISCUSSION - Chartering the Standing Predictability
Implementation Review Team (“SPIRT”) (15 minutes)*
In its Final Report
<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/final-report-newgtld-subsequent-procedures-pdp-02feb21-en.pdf>,
the Subsequent Procedures Working Group recommended “the formation of a
Standing Predictability Implementation Review Team (‘SPIRT’) (Pronounced
‘spirit’) to serve as the body responsible for reviewing potential issues
related to the Program, to conduct analysis utilizing the framework, and to
recommend the process/mechanism that should be followed to address the
issue (i.e., utilize the Predictability Framework). The GNSO Council shall
be responsible for oversight of the SPIRT and may review all
recommendations of the SPIRT in accordance with the procedures outlined in
the GNSO Operating Procedures and Annexes thereto.”
Here, the Council will hear from the two Council Liaisons to the SubPro
Implementation Review Team “IRT” regarding the chartering of the SPIRT.
6.1 – Introduction of Topic (Anne Aikman-Scalese and Susan Payne, SubPro
IRT Liaisons)
6.2 – Council discussion
6.3 - Next Steps
*Item 7: COUNCIL DISCUSSION - SubPro Pending Recommendations - Expected
Non-Adoption (20 minutes)*
During its informal session at ICANN76 and the subsequent Council meeting,
the Council discussed and agreed
<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2023/minutes/minutes-gnso-council-15mar23-en.pdf>
to
task a small team of interested councilors to review the recommendations
that the Board placed in a pending status and suggest to the full Council
how the underlying concerns that caused the pending status can be best
addressed (i.e., a limited triage exercise).
Since ICANN76, the Council SubPro Small Team has met several times and has

next steps.
During the ICANN77 Day 0 Session, the Council heard from the members of the
Board regarding the Board’s views on potential “landing spots” on the
pending recommendations.
Here, the Council will hear an update on the proposed path for the
recommendations the Board is not expected to adopt. In addition, the small
team is requesting Council for further instructions now that it has reached
the solution building stage; as well as input on whether or not it is time
to invite the GAC to participate more formally in the small team's work and
how that would work practically.
7.1 - Introduction of Topic (Paul McGrady, Chair of SubPro Small Team)
7.2 - Council Discussion
7.3 - Next Steps
*Item 8: COUNCIL DISCUSSION - Closed Generics (20 minutes)*
In March 2022, the ICANN Board requested that the GAC and GNSO Council
consider engaging in a facilitated dialogue to develop a framework for
further GNSO policy work on the issue of Closed Generics. The GAC and GNSO
Council agreed to the Board’s suggestion and each appointed six
participants for the dialogue. One participant and one alternate from the
ALAC were also appointed. Should the GAC-GNSO facilitated dialogue result
in an agreed framework, the agreements will be further developed through
the appropriate GNSO policy process.
Following an initial, informal meeting at ICANN75 in Kuala Lumpur, the
dialogue participants have since been meeting regularly via Zoom and held a
substantive two-day face-to-face meeting in Washington, D.C. in late
January 2023. The dialogue is hoping to deliver a draft framework around
the end of April 2023 to the ALAC, GAC, GNSO and other SOACs for community
input. At this stage, groups are expected to have approximately four weeks
to review the document.
During its meeting at ICANN76, the ICANN Board passed a resolution
<https://www.icann.org/en/board-activities-and-meetings/materials/approved-resolutions-regular-meeting-of-the-icann-board-16-03-2023-en>
adopting a substantial portion of the outputs from the New gTLD Subsequent
Procedures PDP, setting in motion the start of the implementation process
for the next round of new gTLDs. As part of the resolution, the Board
established deadlines for key deliverables that will impact the development
of the implementation plan.
The GNSO Chair, GAC Chair, and ALAC Chair plan to send a separate
communication to the ICANN Board that reflects the decision they took and,
as stated in the letter, expressing the collective view that:
(1) closed generic gTLDs should not be viewed as a dependency for the next
round;
(2) until there is community-developed policy, the Board should maintain
the position from the 2012 round (i.e., any applications seeking to impose
exclusive registry access for "generic strings" to a single person or
entity and/or that person's or entity's Affiliates (as defined in Section
2.9(c) of the Registry Agreement) should not proceed; and
(3) should the community decide in the future to resume the policy
discussions, this should be based on the good work that has been done to
date in the facilitated dialogue.
Here, the Council will discuss the current state of work and the proposed
communication to the Board.
