Dear all,

I am happy to inform that - after my DNS Abuse update at last week's CPWG Call - the Council Vote on item 4 Final Issue Report on a Policy Development Process for DNS Abuse refers to the Final Issue Report 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.

Kind regards,

Justine Chew
ALAC Liaison to the GNSO
