Re: [council] Fwd: DRAFT text for Board Comment

The new suggested sentence - To the extent that the GAC provides policy advice to the Board on this matter, the GNSO looks forward to reviewing the policy implications of such advice, in accordance with its role within the organizational framework of ICANN. Sent from a mobile device; please excuse brevity and any grammatical or typographical errors.

But, as the legal counsel represent Intergovernmental Organizations, the focus first needs to rightly be on them working with the GAC to provide advice to the Board. The Board can, as is explicit in the organizational design of ICANN, then ask the GNSO Council to deal with the policy implications. > > In the near term, the Council will re-visit a motion on providing top tier considerations for the IOC and Red Cross to meet the deadline of the first round of the new gTLDs.

Amendments to IOC/RCRC Motion
by Neuman, Jeff March 26, 2012

March 26, 2012

All, The Drafting Team discussed possible amendments to the IOC/RCRC motion last week during its regularly scheduled meeting. I am not sure if those will be proposed or not by some members of the Council, so I guess we will just wait and see. There are two changes I would like to see which is more of clean-up administrative changes. Because of (i) the discussions in Costa Rica where changes were made to recommendation 2 to limit the number of languages as opposed to the version proposed on March 2nd, and (ii) the Board already met on March 16th, I propose making the following changes: First Resolved Clause Resolved, that the GNSO Council adopts the following three recommendations from the IOC/RC Drafting Team's three recommendations as described in its Proposal for the protection of IOC and RCRC names at the top level as provided in http://gnso.icann.org/issues/ioc-rcrc-proposal-02mar12-en.pdf; namely: Last Resolved Clause Resolved, that the GNSO submits this proposed solution for Board consideration and adoption at its 16 March 2012 next meeting in Costa Rica as a recommended solution to implement Board Resolution 2011.06.20.01 for implementation in the first round of new gTLD applications. Thanks. Jeffrey J.
