USG comments on new gTLDs
by Bruce Tonkin 06 Nov '08

06 Nov '08

Hello All, I captured the following portion of Meredith Atwell Baker's speech for information: ... following areas of concern with the new gTLD process that need careful and thoughtful consideration and resolution prior to moving forward: (1) Impact of potential changes to the registrar/registrar marketplace to allow for vertical integration; (2) Expanding the marketplace before having effective and meaningful tools to protect consumers and brand owners; (3) demonstrating ICANN has sufficient capacity to enforce contract compliance with, as yet, an unknown number of new contracts; (4) the fee structure, the possible use of auctions and the disposition of excess revenue given ICANN's status as a non-profit; (5) and appropriate mechanisms to address dispute resolution, including the very delicate issues of morality and public order. Regards, Bruce Tonkin

[To: council[at]gnso.icann.org] [To: liaison6[at]gnso.icann.org] Dear Council Members, Ahead of the complete minutes, please find the motions that were passed by the GNSO Council at the Cairo meeting on Wednesday, 5 November 2008. Kind regards, Glen ........................................................................................................ 1. Mike Rodenbaugh, seconded by Zahid Jamil and Kristina Rosette proposed a motion on the extension of Public Comment Periods during ICANN meetings Whereas, ICANN's meetings require the full attention of GNSO Councilors and many other GNSO participants. Whereas, ICANN has many ongoing public comment periods of significant interest to many GNSO Councilors and participants. Whereas, ICANN's typical comment periods are already difficult for many members of the ICANN community, particularly those that must consult with members of their Constituency and/or member organization(s). RESOLVED: The GNSO Council strongly urges ICANN Staff to extend, for seven days, any public comment periods which overlap with any of the seven days of an ICANN meeting. Motion passed with one abstention from Adrian Kinderis (two votes) ...................................................................................... 2. Avri Doria, seconded by Philip Sheppard and Robin Gross, proposed a Motion on a GNSO Liaison to ccNSO As the GNSO and ccNSO have agreed to exchange liaisons, The GNSO approves the appointment of Olga Cavalli, a Nomcom appointee, as the GNSO Liaison to the ccNSO until the end of the 2009 annual meeting or until she leaves the council, whichever comes first. Unanimously passed by voice vote. ................................................................................................... 3. Avri Doria, seconded by Chuck Gomes proposed a motion on the Issues report on Registration Abuse Policies The GNSO acknowledges receipt of the Issues Report on Registrations Abuse Policies, and Thanks Staff for the report and its timely delivery The GNSO resolves to begin discussions of the issues report and the possible initiation of a PDP at its next regular meeting. Unanimously passed by voice vote. ................................................................................................................ 4. Thank You Motions In recognition of the service to the ICANN community the following council members have provided over the years, In recognition of the many hours of meetings and preparation for meetings, In recognition of the many miles and hours flown to attend a week's worth of meetings three times a year, The council expresses its gratitude to the retiring GNSO Council members: Jon Bing - 2 years Robin Gross - 4 years Tom Keller - 5 years Norbert Klein - 3 years Thank You Motion #2 for someone who isn't leaving Whereas every year, we thank retiring GNSO Council members for their service, And in recognition of the fact that there is one person who rarely gets public thanks, but without whom we could not function as a Council, The GNSO Council wishes to gratefully extend its continuing thanks to Glen de Saint Gery for being the sprit behind the GNSO and for the many many many things she does. This thanks is extended with the hope that Glen will remain the force behind the council for many years to come.

Motion re Suspension of Public Comment Periods
by Mike Rodenbaugh 05 Nov '08

05 Nov '08

Hi all: several Councilors would like to introduce and pass this motion today, whilst we have several different, significant and ongoing public comment periods. Therefore I make the motion. Whereas, ICANN's meetings require the full attention of GNSO Councilors and many other GNSO participants. Whereas, ICANN has many ongoing public comment periods of significant interest to many GNSO Councilors and participants. Whereas, ICANN's typical comment periods are already difficult for many members of the ICANN community, particularly those that must consult with members of their Constituency and/or member organization(s). RESOLVED: The GNSO Council strongly urges ICANN Staff to suspend all public comment periods during the seven days of each ICANN meeting, thereby extending the length of those pending comment periods by seven days each. Mike Rodenbaugh Rodenbaugh Law PO Box 7775 #55819 San Francisco, CA 94120 +1.415.254.4590
