_______________________________________________Dear all,
Here is my report of the GNSO Council's 6 Mar 2024 meeting. It's 'relatively' short compared to the actual agenda because I have parsed out just the key matters of interest to us. You can also read this report posted at the ALAC Liaison to the GNSO workspace, or using the links included below.Special Summary Report of 6 Mar 2024 Meeting to ALAC
For brevity, I will just highlight a few things here. For some of the issues, you can glean a wider perspective from GNSO Council Mar 2024 Matters of Interest and/or from GNSO Council Mar 2024 Meeting Records.
1. Consent Agenda
- Council resolved to adopt the Communications Small Team Final Report.
2. DNS Abuse
- GNSO - GAC Bilateral agenda, where GNSO was asked on the status of the GNSO Council Small Team on DNS Abuse. We were able to clarify that the Small Team is not wound up but merely kept in abeyance until such time that Council had access to useful data which could inform a decision on whether gaps exists and how might those gaps be addressed.
Action by ALAC Liaison
To liaise with CPH on a DNS Abuse mitigation outreach opportunity with At-Large.3. Next Round of New gTLD
- Council was informed that the Council Small Team Plus on Pending Subsequent Pending (SubPro) Recommendations (Small Team Plus) had conducted its Community Consultation during ICANN79 as planned, to socialize the Small Team Plus's work on the supplemental recommendations to address the rationale provided by the ICANN Board in declining to approve/adopt 10 (original) SubPro PDP recommendations covering 6 topics.
- No comment or objection was received by the Small Team Plus during that ICANN79 session, so, the Small Team Plus is now able to refer the supplemental recommendations to the Council for approval in Council's April 2024 meeting.
4. Privacy and Proxy Services Accreditation Implementation (PPSAI)
- Council acknowledged that the Implementation Review Team tasked with implementation of PPSAI recommendations that were adopted by the ICANN Board back in 2016, has been reactivated.
- Question was asked if any or all of those recommendations are still fit for purpose given the introduction of GDPR and other newer developments since 2016, and whether this IRT might be compelled to try and implement outdated recommendations.
- The conclusion reached was that the IRT should be given the opportunity to review those recommendations and state if any one which are no longer fit for purpose, so that the right party (eg GNSO Council to take remedial steps to perhaps re-conduct a policy development process to update those recommendations).
- This is an example of the need for Topic 2 in the recent Board Consultation during ICANN79 Prep Week with the Community.
5. General Operations of GNSO/GNSO Council
Council discussed and/or noted following:
- Council Engagement with PDP Working Group Chairs - to retain a prep week session for this and keep improving the format to meet purpose
- GNSO Program Management Tools - to review 2 times per year
- GNSO Chair Election Timeline Announcement
- Updated Small Team Guidelines
- GNSO Council Aspirational Statement
