Just in: Policy Development Process WT (PDP-WT) • PDP-WT has been meeting on a weekly basis, but with very low attendance (see recent note from Jeff Neuman to the GNSO Council) • PDP-WT is currently discussing the ‘proposal review and voting threshold’ stage (stage two out of five) and is expected to review shortly a first draft of the recommendations for the ‘planning and initiation’ stage (stage one out of five) Working Group Team (WGT) • WGT completed two document outlines as of 6 July 2009 on Guidelines for Working Groups and Charters for Working Groups. • WGT has not met since that time. Staff is drafting content, but has not made substantive progress due to workload. • Staff is reorganizing priorities and shifting personnel in order to focus attention on this project. • WGT expects to begin meeting again later in August (TBD) to review Staff drafting activity.

I did a bit of further analysis, and came up with the following: There were 17,668750 AGP deletes in June 2008. Following the ICANN budget levy on excessive deletes, the number decreased to 2,785,605. With the implementation of the AGP limit policy in April 2009, the total number of AGP deletes was 58,218, an overall decrease of 99.7%. Put another way, in June 2008, for .COM, there were 2,122,794 net new domains added, and an additional 15,738,292 domain names added and then AGP-deleted for an AGP delete rate of 741% In April 2009, there were 2,084,868 net new domains added, and an additional 37,519 domain names added and then AGP-deleted for an AGP delete rate of under 2%. Under the policy, an AGP-delete rate of 10% is allowed without financial penalty, per registrar, to allow for exceptional conditions. It was expected that few registrars would exceed this 10% and in fact in April only 22 registrars exceeded 10%, and there were only 432 excessive AGP-deletes. Alan

GNSO web migration schedule
by Glen de Saint Géry 11 Aug '09

11 Aug '09

Dear All, Improvements Coming to GNSO Web Site In cooperation with the GNSO OSC Communications team, ICANN is changing some behind-the-scenes technicalities of gnso.icann.org. These changes are necessary to enable substantial improvements (coming later in 2009) to the GNSO web site's design and organization. Server and database changes will be implemented on the evening of 12 August, Pacific time about midnight UTC. Much testing has been done to ensure that the change-over is seamless, and we expect that users should not notice any difference in how the site operates. This note is primarily a courtesy notice, on the off-chance that you experience an unanticipated disruption. If you encounter any new difficulties using gnso.icann.org in the days following 12 August, please feel free to notify Scott Pinzon, Director of Policy Communications <scott.pinzon(a)icann.org>. He is working closely with the OSC Communications Team to deliver an improved GNSO web experience, and will expedite resolution of any problems. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to serve you better. Glen de Saint Géry GNSO Secretariat gnso.secretariat(a)gnso.icann.org http://gnso.icann.org
