Feedback from GNSO groups on Rec6 CWG recommendations
by Stéphane Van Gelder Dec. 16, 2010

Dec. 16, 2010

Hi all, As a reminder, the Council passed a motion on the Rec6 CWG at the Cartagena meeting and resolved that: "each Stakeholder Group and constituency provide feedback as soon as possible to the Council, on the CWG recommendations". Please make sure your respective groups are aware of this so that feedback can be provided at our next Council meeting, on Jan 13. Thanks, Stéphane

Rec6 CWG
by Stéphane Van Gelder Dec. 14, 2010

Dec. 14, 2010

Councillors, As you know Chuck Gomes has been co-chairing the Rec6 CWG since it started. Chuck has contacted me to let me know that he would be willing to continue in this role. I do not see any reason to change the CWG's current leadership and value Chuck's experience with the group. I have therefore asked Chuck to continue in his role as co-chair if he is so willing. If anyone objects to this, please let me know asap. Stéphane

Hi Stephane I hosted a workshop in Catragena on Consumer Choice and Trust as per AoC This topic came up as one of our discussion points I'd be happy to take responsibilty for progressing this work in GNSO and with the other groups if that would be of assistance Cheers Rosemary Sent from my BlackBerry® from Optus -----Original Message----- From: Stéphane Van Gelder <stephane.vangelder(a)indom.com> Sender: <owner-council(a)gnso.icann.org> Date: Mon, 13 Dec 2010 03:45:51 To: Neuman, Jeff<Jeff.Neuman(a)neustar.us> Cc: 'GNSO Council'<council(a)gnso.icann.org> Subject: Re: [council] Future GNSO Activity? Re - .job Reconsideration Request Thanks Jeff. I am working on the agenda for our next Council meeting and the two Cartagena Board resolutions that referenced the GNSO will be included in that agenda as discussion items. There's res8, as you mention, and res6, where the Board is asking that Resolved (2010.12.10.30), the ICANN Board requests advice from the ALAC, GAC, GNSO and ccNSO on establishing the definition, measures, and three year targets for those measures, for competition, consumer trust and consumer choice in the context of the domain name system, such advice to be provided for discussion at the ICANN International Public meeting in San Francisco from 13-18 March 2010. There's actually very little time for us to start working on this and be ready by SF. As people wind down from the Cartagena meeting, it's possibly not the best time to start looking at these two action items right now. But I will be asking the Council to do so in the upcoming weeks and, as mentioned, I would then like us to discuss during our Jan 13 meeting.

Future GNSO Activity? Re - .job Reconsideration Request
by Neuman, Jeff Dec. 12, 2010

Dec. 12, 2010

FYI, saw this resolution passed on the reconsideration request for a registry service by .jobs. Although the reconsideration request was denied, there is a reference in the BGC recommendation that asks the GNSO to consider a process to evaluate amendments that may have the effect of changing, or seeking to change, an sTLD Charter or stated purpose of a sponsored, restricted or community-based TLD. The BGC report can be found at: http://www.icann.org/en/committees/reconsideration/bgc-recommendation-09dec…. The Resolution is below: +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1. Response to Reconsideration Request 10-2 Whereas, the BGC has reviewed and considered Reconsideration Request 10-2 submitted by the .JOBS Charter Compliance Coalition on 20 August 2010 (supplemented as posted at <http://www.icann.org/en/committees/board-governance/requests-for-reconsider…>) concerning the Board's 5 August 2010 resolution approving Employ Media's .JOBS Phased Allocation Program. Whereas, the BGC recommended that the Request be denied as unsupported because: (i) the Coalition's concerns regarding potential violations of the Charter in the implementation of the Phased Allocation Program is not a proper ground for reconsidering the Board's 5 August 2010 Action; and (ii) the Board did not fail to consider material information available at the time of the Action. Whereas, the BGC recommended that the Board direct the President and CEO, and General Counsel and Secretary, to ensure that ICANN's Contractual Compliance Department closely monitor Employ Media's compliance with its Charter. Whereas, the BGC recommended that the Board direct the CEO to create a briefing paper for the GNSO to consider on this matter, and for the GNSO to determine whether a policy development process should be commenced. Whereas, the Reconsideration Request and the BGC's Recommendation has been posted on the ICANN website <http://www.icann.org/en/committees/board-governance/requests-for-reconsider…>.

FY12 Ops Plan Budget Development information
by Liz Gasster Dec. 10, 2010

Dec. 10, 2010

All, As referenced in today's GNSO wrap up session, attached is a presentation from ICANN on the process for community input to developing the Fiscal Year 2012 budget. ICANN staff gave this presentation to the Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies during the Cartagena meeting, and so I also want to make sure that the Council is aware of the details and the deadline of the end of January for input. We suggest that the Council consider whether there is input that the Council might want to provide related to GNSO policy work in addition to the needs and requests of the Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies. Please let me know if you have any questions or would like additional information. Thanks, Liz
