the Council discussed its immediate and longer term pipeline of work,
including work that the Council has previously committed to, e.g. Latin
Diacritics, RPMs Phase 2, and potential areas of work in the future, e.g.
DNS Abuse, RDDS, New gTLDs, Expiration Policies, and the Transfer Policy

*Item 5: COUNCIL UPDATE - Update from Board Readiness Small Team (15
minutes) *
During the 2023 GNSO Council Strategic Planning Session (SPS), the GNSO
Council agreed that it should seek to limit the likelihood of the Council
approving PDP recommendations that the ICANN Board is ultimately unable to
adopt. To that end, the Council discussed the desire to ensure it submits
“board-ready policy recommendations” to the Board, to the extent possible.
Generally speaking, a policy recommendation is considered board ready when
the recommendation is likely to achieve board adoption, i.e., the
recommendation has been approved by a GNSO Supermajority Vote and will most
likely be considered by the Board to be in the best interests of ICANN
Community and ICANN org.
In August 2024, a Council Small Team began meeting to further discuss the
topic of board readiness. Specifically, the Small Team was tasked by GNSO
Council to:
- Develop a survey/questionnaire related to the Board’s
rejection/non-adoption of policy recommendations, which may be administered
to relevant PDP Chairs, PDP WG members, ICANN org Support Staff, and Board
members. (Examples: EPDP Temp Spec Phase 1 and 2; Subsequent Procedures)
- Administer the survey/questionnaire and conduct interviews with
relevant PDP Chairs, PDP WG members, ICANN org Support Staff, and Board
members.
- Synthesize the findings from the survey/questionnaire and interviews
into a set of findings and develop a set of recommendations intended to
inform Council work on improving Board readiness.
Over the past few months, the Small Team has been conducting interviews
with community members, Board members, and staff members.
Here, the Council will hear an update on the Small Team’s progress.
5.1 - Introduction of Topic (Kurt Pritz, Small Team Lead)
5.2 - Council Discussion
5.3 - Next Steps
*Item 6: COUNCIL UPDATE - Progress Update from Council Accuracy Small Team
(15 minutes)*
During the Council’s March 2025 meeting
<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/gnsocouncilmeetings/pages/111126022/Final+Proposed+Agenda+2025-03-12>,
the Council agreed to form a dedicated small team on accuracy, which would
be tasked with:
- Reviewing the written input received on the Council’s threshold
questions; and
- Providing a detailed summary of the input received, taking into
consideration the potential other sources that can inform the discussion -
i.e. (but not limited to) INFERMAL study, EU NIS2 cooperation group,
recommendation CC.1, and provide a recommendation to the Council on how to
best make progress on the topic of registration data accuracy, e.g.,
relaunch scoping team with updated assignment, request Issues Report,
request additional study (including the recommended form and aim of the
study), etc.
The Small Team, led by Paul McGrady, began meeting on 15 May 2025.
Here, the Council will hear an update on the small team’s progress.
6.1 - Introduction of Topic (Paul McGrady, Small Team Lead)
6.2 - Council Discussion
6.3 - Next Steps
*Item 7: COUNCIL UPDATE: Status Update from DNS Abuse Small Team (15
minutes)*
During the Council’s March 2025 meeting
<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/gnsocouncilmeetings/pages/111126022/Final+Proposed+Agenda+2025-03-12>,
the Council agreed to form a dedicated small team on DNS Abuse, which would
be tasked with:
- evaluating DNS Abuse mitigation efforts across ICANN (e.g., by the
CPH, other community groups, and potentially industry firms focusing on DNS
whether briefings from such abuse groups would aid the small team. Similar
to the first iteration of the DNS Abuse small team, conduct outreach to the
broader ICANN community, seeking their input on items specifically suitable
for policy development).
- reviewing the recommendations that were proposed by the DNS Abuse
Small Team in 2022
- assessing the impact of the Contract amendments on DNS abuse
mitigation efforts.
- How have the amendments helped ICANN Compliance enforce DNS Abuse
mitigation? Have they empowered ICANN Compliance to undertake
proactive (as
opposed to reactive ) enforcement measures?
- Can the requirements outlined in the amendments be further
clarified to enable more effective DNS Abuse mitigation by registrars and
registries?
- Can such clarifications be addressed via additional efforts such as
focused ICANN policy development, or via other methods such as
incremental
improvements on industry best practices? What other actions
should be taken
in order to bring transparency and accountability to the mitigation
measures (standardizing “evidenced and actionable” complaints
and response
rates for example)? Or even, a practice of reviewing portfolios of
malicious registrations rather than one by one, for example.
- Assess the human rights impact of the DNS abuse mitigation measures
- Discussing with relevant stakeholders and providing a summary on the
insights from the INFERMAL study and how these insights can help inform
next steps on DNS Abuse.
The Small Team, led by Jennifer Chung, began meeting on 15 May 2025.
