Dear Councilors, Following up on the action item accompanying Item 5 (draft Charter for the IGO-INGO Curative Rights Protection Mechanisms PDP), please share your and/or your SG/Constituency¹s comments and suggestions relating to the draft Charter so that an updated version can be presented in London. For your convenience, the draft Charter is attached to this email. As noted on the Council call, the draft Charter: (1) enumerates specific tasks and considerations listed in the body of the Final Issue Report for the WG, including the need to conduct research and obtain updated data; (2) specifies outreach to other SO/ACs including the GAC as well as to interested IGOs and INGOs to encourage participation; (3) recommends WG tracking/monitoring of developments in relation to GAC/GNSO/Board dialogue on the remaining IGO-INGO PDP WG recommendations not yet adopted by the Board; and (4) limits the PDP scope to only those IGO & INGO identifiers specified as eligible for second level protections by the IGO-INGO PDP WG.

And as a follow up to the Whois Studies-related question on their relevance and usefulness to the EWG, you¹ll be pleased to note that the Whois Studies as well as other reports emanating from the GNSO (including the earlier Whois Task Forces, the Internationalized Registration Data WG, the Whois Requirements Survey, and more recently the Thick Whois WG) were cited by the EWG in Annex B to their Final Report. As you¹ll recall at the last Council meeting, staff reported that the EWG had referred to the Studies - and occasionally the research teams behind those Studies to inform their early work on understanding stakeholder concerns and user needs as regards Whois accuracy, access and privacy.

GNSO Council motions 5 June 2014
by Glen de Saint Géry June 6, 2014

June 6, 2014

Dear Councillors Ahead of the official minutes, the following resolutions were passed by the GNSO Council at its meeting on Thursday, 5 June 2014. 1. Motion to Close the Study Phase of GNSO Whois Policy Work WHEREAS 1. In October 2007, the GNSO Council concluded that a comprehensive and objective understanding of key factual issues regarding the gTLD Whois system would benefit future GNSO policy development efforts (http://gnso.icann.org/resolutions/) 2. In 2008, the Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) provided recommendations for Whois Studies (http://www.icann.org/correspondence/karlins-to-thrush-16apr08.pdf) which were taken into account as the hypothesis for each study were developed. 3. Between 2009 and 2012 the GNSO Council had approved a number of studies on certain aspects of the Whois system, specifically, studies relating to Whois Misuse, Whois Privacy & Proxy Service Abuse and Whois Registrant Identification, a Whois Privacy & Proxy Relay & Reveal Feasibility Survey and a Whois Service Requirements Survey; 4. All the approved studies have now been completed and the results published (see http://gnso.icann.org/en/group-activities/other/whois/studies) 5. The GNSO Council has reviewed the studies and their results (see summary document at http://whois.icann.org/sites/default/files/files/executive-summary-studies-…) 6. The GNSO Council believes that the studies and their results may be helpful with respect to ongoing policy work within the GNSO and in the ICANN community concerning improvements to and replacement of the Whois protocol and system. RESOLVED, 1. The GNSO Council thanks all the research teams that performed each of the approved studies, and hereby formally closes this study phase of the GNSO's Whois policy work. 2. The GNSO Council encourages current and future community groups engaged in Whois policy work to continue to consult and review the results of the approved Whois studies, and to recommend to the GNSO Council any future policy work which may need to be done by the GNSO as a result. 3. The GNSO Council requests that the GNSO Council Chair communicates the completion of the Whois studies and their results to the GAC Chair. 2. Motion on the Initiation of a Policy Development Process (PDP) on IGO and INGO Access to Curative Rights Protection Mechanisms WHEREAS: 1. In November 2013 the GNSO Council had requested an Issue Report on the topic of amending the Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) and the Uniform Rapid Suspension procedure (URS) to enable International Governmental Organizations (IGOs) and International Non-Governmental Organizations (INGOs) to access and use these curative rights protection mechanisms; 2. The GNSO Council's request was the result of the GNSO Council's adoption in November 2013 of a consensus recommendation from the PDP Working Group on the Protection of International Organization Identifiers in All gTLDs (IGO-INGO PDP WG); 3. ICANN staff published the Preliminary Issue Report on the Access by IGOs and INGOs to the Curative Rights Protections of the UDRP and URS in a public comment forum that opened on 10 March 2014, and closed on 6 May 2014; 4. ICANN staff have reviewed the public comments received, published a Report of Public Comments and updated the Issue Report accordingly; 5. The Final Issue Report on the Access by IGOs and INGOs to the Curative Rights Protections of the UDRP and URS was published on 26 May 2014 (http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/igo-ingo-crp-final-25may14-en.pdf) 6. The Final Issue Report recommends that the GNSO Council proceed with a Policy Development Process (PDP) limited to consideration of the issues discussed in the report, and the General Counsel of ICANN has indicated the topic is properly within the scope of the ICANN policy process and within the scope of the GNSO. RESOLVED: 1. The GNSO Council hereby initiates a PDP to evaluate: (i) whether the UDRP and/or URS should be amended (to enable their access and use by IGOs and INGOs whose identifiers had been recommended for protection by the IGO-INGO PDP WG) and if so, in what way; or (ii) whether a separate narrowly-tailored procedure modeled on these curative rights protection measures to apply only to protected IGO and INGO identifiers should be developed. 2. The GNSO Council requests that the PDP Working Group be convened as soon as possible to fulfill the requirements of this PDP in an expedited manner. If you have any questions, please let me know. Thank you very much Kind regards, Glen Glen de Saint Géry GNSO Secretariat gnso.secretariat(a)gnso.icann.org<mailto:gnso.secretariat@gnso.icann.org> http://gnso.icann.org

All, Please see attached for two proposed motions for the next council meeting.

RE: [council] IGO INGO Final Issue Report & Motion for Council
by Winterfeldt, Brian J. June 5, 2014

June 5, 2014

Dear Jonathan: I wish to offer the following amendment, on behalf of the IPC, to the first motion on our agenda-namely the motion to initiate a PDP on access to curative rights protection mechanisms. The GNSO Council hereby initiates a PDP to evaluate: (i) whether the UDRP and/or URS should be amended (to enable their access and use by IGOs and INGOs whose identifiers had been recommended for protection by the IGO-INGO PDP WG); and (ii) if so, in what way;, or (ii) whether a separate narrowly-tailored procedure modeled on these curative rights protection measures to apply only to protected IGO and INGO identifiers should be developed. I would ask that the Council also consider implementing a similar amendment within the PDP WG Charter itself. I do hope that these minor changes will be accepted as friendly, as their primary goal is to align the language more closely with the recommendation in the final issues report (which follows) and delineate two clear options. Staff therefore recommends that the GNSO Council commence a PDP on the specific issue described in this Issue Report, i.e. exploring whether the UDRP and URS should be amended, and if so in what way; or whether a separate narrowly tailored procedure designed, to enable curative protection for IGOs and INGOs should be developed. In short, as it stands, I think the semicolon and numeral (ii) are slightly out of place, and might confuse two otherwise very clear options for the WG to consider. I look forward to discussing this suggested amendment with everyone on our call. Thank you, Brian Brian J.
