GNSO update (ICANN54)
by Patrick Myles Oct. 21, 2015

Oct. 21, 2015

Hi Councillors, Below you'll find a short set of high level points on GNSO activities over this week at ICANN54. The CENTR report on ICANN54 will be published at the latest on Friday and will contain a much greater depth of information. High level items - GNSO council/related at ICANN54 - Next generation Registration Directory Services (RDS) - At their council meeting, the GNSO formally deferred a motion on the charter stating that complexity as well as high importance of the work meant it requires more time for careful consideration. - Rights protection mechanisms (RPMs): there is a preliminary issue report on possibility to review all existing RPMs (in all gTLDs) and GNSO are deciding how to move forward taking into account parallel activities in (TMCH review, consumer trust and choice review, potential new gTLD subsequent rounds). Public comment hopes to get answers. - New gTLD subsequent rounds - An issue report (ie scoping the issues) has been published with a set of issues to determine if any policy changes are needed in order to accommodation a next round. Although there is a commitment from ICANN for another round, work relies also on a series of ICANN reviews currently underway: program implementation, rights protections, consumer survey, economic study, competition/consumer trust as well as security and stability. Registry Stakeholder group generally keen to see another round soon. - New gTLD auction proceeds - Discussion revolves more on process (how should the work develop) and less on substance on 'how the funds should be spent. It's felt a cross community working group might be the result, however some in GNSO suggest a GNSO working group would represent the community better. - Geo-TLD interest group are increasingly formalising their process with discussion on membership and fees. - GNSO formally state their support to the work of the CCWG Accountability. - There were two candidates for GNSO council chair were James Bladel and Heather Forrest, however due to insufficient votes to cross a threshold, the election did not pass and nominations will recommence at a later stage. The GNSO congratulated outgoing chair, Jonathon Robinson.

Dear Councillors, As the chair of the Guidelines Review Committee (GRC) I would like to inform the ccNSO Council that during our face-to-face meeting here in Dublin the Committee decided to dismiss Nelson Juarez, .ni. We assume that due to the change of circumstances he apparently is not able to contribute to the work of the GRC. May I ask the staff to delete his name on the GRC website. Thank you!

Renewed election timeline proposal
by Gabriella Schittek Oct. 18, 2015

Oct. 18, 2015

Dear Councillors, Two members of the LAC region have been nominated + seconded so far, and it therefore looks like there will be an election in this region as well (both candidate need to formally approve their nomination first). As I would like to avoid to have two separate elections (there will be elections in the EU region as well) and because the nomination period for the LAC region was extended until the 30 October, which clash with the originally proposed + approved election timeline, I would like to propose an updated timeline: Thursday, 5 November 00.01 UTC Thursday, 19 November 23.59 UTC Nomination + election report to be submitted at the latest by 1 December (due to holidays the previous week, but will try to be as fast as possible) If run-off elections: 1 8 December Nomination + election report to be submitted at the latest by 11 December. I would be grateful if you could agree on this renewed timeline as soon as possible. In case I have not heard any objections by 20th October, understand you approve this renewed timeline. Kind regards, Gabi
