Dear all,
Further to my verbal report at the ICANN81 At-Large Wrap-up session, here is my written report of the GNSO Council's 13 November 2024 meeting.
Since the next ALAC Monthly Call is scheduled for 10 December, I am happy to take questions ahead or during or after that ALAC call - if raising by email, please do so in response to this email to ease follow up.
While Council had a very lengthy November meeting agenda (as updated below), I have concentrated on what I think are the key matters of interest to us in my report of outcomes. As it turns out, I am able to keep it really short.

For brevity, I will just highlight a few things here. For some of the issues, you can glean a wider perspective from GNSO Council Nov 2024 Matters of Interest <https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/GNSO+Liaison+Report%2C+post-Oct+...> and/or from GNSO Council Nov 2024 Meeting Records <https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/GNSO+Liaison+Report%2C+post-Oct+...> .
*1. Consent Agenda*
- Council voted <https://community.icann.org/x/_IAvEQ> unanimously to defer the Rights Protection Mechanisms (RPMs) Policy Development Process (PDP) Phase 2 for an additional 6 months
*2. Expedited Policy Development Process on Internationalized Domain Names (EPDP-IDNs) Phase 2 Final Report*
- Council approved <https://community.icann.org/x/yAAiFg>, and recommends that the ICANN Board adopt, all fourteen (14) final recommendations as documented in the EPDP-IDNs Phase 2 Final Report <https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2024/draft/gnso-idn-epdp-p...> .
*3. Latin Diacritics*
- Council resolved to initiate <https://community.icann.org/x/yAAiFg> a Policy Development Process for Latin Diacritics. This PDP to start as soon as its PDP WG Charter is approved by Council. - The WG charter is pending confirmation on 2 elements: (1) nature of the WG: whether Open or Open + Representative; and (2) clarity on narrow scope of PDP.
*Action by ALAC Liaison*: to report to ALAC if and when GNSO Council determines the charter of its PDP on Latin Script Diacritics and next steps
*4. Uniform Domain-Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP)*
- The Rights Protection Mechanisms PDP Phase 2 is the GNSO's intended review of the UDRP. Council posits that due to workload that GNSO is currently managing, the RPM PDP Phase 2 ought to be deferred for a further 6 months while Councilors considers how to improve upon the Policy Status Report (PSR) on RPMs PDP Phase 2 prepared by GNSO policy support staff. - Council noted that WIPO and the Internet Commerce Association (ICA) has announced that they are jointly reviewing the UDRP independently of GNSO. Some councilors were unperturbed by this development; others opined that the WIPO-ICA review output could help inform the RPMs PDP Phase 2 work.
*5. DNS Abuse*
- As an AOB, I requested that Council reinitiate / reconstitute the GNSO Council Small Team on DNS Abuse, given that the INFERMAL Report has been released by ICANN org, which was one of the reasons for suspending the work of that small team. The GNSO Chair acknowledged my request and Council leadership will take it into consideration in organizing Council's work moving forward.
*Action by ALAC Liaison*: To report to ALAC if and when GNSO Council determines next steps on the Small Team on DNS Abuse.
