Dear all, I am happy to inform that - after my DNS Abuse update at last week's CPWG Call <https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/x/OADqJQ> - the Council Vote on item 4 Final Issue Report on a Policy Development Process for DNS Abuse refers to the Final Issue Report <https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2025/draft/issue-report-dn...> which recommends an *a Representative plus Open Model for DNS Abuse Mitigation PDP 1 on Associated Domain Checks*, where all ACs, SGs and Cs would be invited to nominate an *equal number of Members (i.e. 2 each)* while *accepting other Participants* who may be from a GNSO SG/C or SO/AC, or may be self-appointed and derive from within the ICANN or broader community, *as well as Observers*. However, I should also note that there may be a delay in settling the Charter for DNS Abuse Mitigation PDP 1, as Council is still being asked to contemplate adjustments to the same. I will provide a more concrete update after Council meets on Thursday, 11 Dec. Further to this, AOB item 7.2 - WSIS+20 developments and the upcoming meetings in New York, has been added to the agenda.
