FW: GNSO Liaison to the GAC
by Jonathan Robinson Sept. 5, 2014

Sept. 5, 2014

FYI From: Jonathan Robinson [mailto:jonathan.robinson@ipracon.com] Sent: 05 September 2014 10:59 To: Heather.Dryden(a)ic.gc.ca Cc: manal(a)tra.gov.eg; olof.nordling(a)icann.org; 'Glen de Saint Géry' Subject: GNSO Liaison to the GAC Importance: High Heather Dryden ICANN Government Advisory Committee Dear Heather, I am pleased to be able to inform you that, following our GNSO Council meeting yesterday, the GNSO proposes to appoint Mason Cole as our GNSO liaison to the GAC. The term runs until the end of the current ICANN financial year (30 June 2015). As you will be aware, the appointment of a GNSO Liaison to the GAC is a pilot project associated with early engagement of the GAC in GNSO Policy and the concept arose from ongoing work of the GAC GNSO Consultation Group, co-chaired by Manal Ismail and myself. The original call for candidates is available here: http://gnso.icann.org/mailing-lists/archives/council/pdfd161pUgkco.pdf Together with Mason and the GNSO Council Vice Chairs, I very much look forward to working with you and your GAC colleagues on this pilot project. We believe that a critical first step is to ensure that the role is mutually well understood at the outset and that we have common expectations and we hope to meet with you soon in order to discuss this. Please feel free to revert to me with any questions or feedback of any description. Best wishes, Jonathan Jonathan Robinson Chair ICANN GNSO Council

Resolutions passed by the GNSO Council Thursday, 4 September 2014
by Glen de Saint Géry Sept. 5, 2014

Sept. 5, 2014

Dear Councillors, Ahead of the Council minutes, please find the resolutions passed by the GNSO Council at its meeting on Thursday, 4 September 2014. Consent agenda: 1. Council approved thanking ICANN Contractual Compliance for its presentation of their three-year plan and continued collaboration with the GNSO in future policy development efforts AND 2. Considering the issues identified in the Uniformity of Reporting Final Issue Report to have been addressed and to consider the issue closed. 3. The Council confirmed the Co-Chairs for the Working Group on Curative Rights Protections for IGO/INGOs (IGO-INGO-CRP) PDP working group, namely Philip Corwin and Petter Rindforth. Council passed the resolution to appoint a GNSO Liaison to the Governmental Advisory Committee Whereas: 1. As part of the discussions within ICANN between the GNSO and GAC, on how to facilitate early engagement of the GAC in GNSO policy development activities, the option of appointing a GNSO liaison to the GAC has been proposed as one of the mechanisms to explore. 2. As such, the GAC-GNSO Consultation Group (CG) on GAC Early Engagement in GNSO policy development activities proposed to implement this option as a one-year pilot program in FY15 (starting 1 July 2014 to 30 June 2015). 3. This mechanism will be evaluated at the end of FY 15, by both the GNSO Council and the GAC, to determine whether or not to continue in either in the same form or with possible adjustments based on the feedback received. 4. Following a call for candidates (seehttp://gnso.icann.org/mailing-lists/archives/council/msg16435.html) five applications were received all of which were evaluated by the GNSO Council Leadership based on the criteria outlined in the call for candidates. 5. Mason Cole was unanimously selected by the GNSO Council Leadership as the preferred candidate. Resolved: 1. The GNSO Council hereby appoints Mason Cole to the role of GNSO Liaison to the Governmental Advisory Committee until 30 June 2015. 2. The GNSO Council Leadership Team will co-ordinatewith Mason Cole as well as the GAC-GNSO Consultation Group on next steps and the successful implementation of this new role. Council adopted a Charter for a Cross Community Working Group to Develop an IANA Stewardship Transition Proposal on Naming Related Functions Whereas, 1. The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) has requested that ICANN "convene a multistakeholder process to develop a plan to transition the U.S. government stewardship role" with regard to the IANA Functions and related root zone management. 2. On June 6 2014, ICANN proposed the creation of an IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG) "responsible for preparing a transition proposal reflecting the differing needs of the various affected parties of the IANA functions." 3. It was determined that the transition proposal should be developed within the directly affected communities (i.e. the IETF for development of standards for Internet Protocol Parameters; the NRO, the ASO, and the RIRs for functions related the management and distribution of numbering resources; and the GNSO and ccNSO for functions related to the Domain Name System). These efforts would inform the work of the ICG, whose responsibility would be to fashion an overall integrated transition proposal from these autonomously developed components. 4. Following distribution of an invitation to participate, a drafting team (DT) was formed with participants from the ccNSO, GNSO, SSAC and ALAC to develop a charter for a Cross Community Working Group to Develop an IANA Stewardship Transition Proposal on Naming Related Functions. 5. The DT delivered the proposed charter<http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/iana-stewardship-naming-function-charter-14…> for consideration to the ccNSO, GNSO, SSACC and ALAC Resolved, 1. The GNSO Council approves the Charter<http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/iana-stewardship-naming-function-charter-14…> and appoints Jonathan Robinson as the GNSO Council liaison and member to the CWG. 2. Each GNSO Stakeholder Group will identify one member for the CWG by 15 September taking into account the charter requirement that best efforts should be made to ensure that members: * Have sufficient expertise to participate in the applicable subject matter; * Commit to actively participate in the activities of the CWG on an ongoing and long-term basis; and * Where appropriate, solicit and communicate the views and concerns of individuals in the organization that appoints them. 3. The GNSO will collaborate with the other SOs and ACs to issue a call for observers to join the CWG, each in accordance with its own rules. 4. Until the CWG selects its co-chairs for the CWG, the GNSO Council recommends that the co-chairs of the Drafting Team shall serve as the interim co-chairs of the CWG. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you.

GNSO Council - CCWG on Country and Territory Names Co-Chairs
by Winterfeldt, Brian J. Sept. 4, 2014

Sept. 4, 2014

Dear Jonathan: I write to suggest that we add an agenda item under the Any Other Business timeslot for our call later this week. Now that our colleague Mr. Ching Chao represents a ccTLD, it appears that the CCWG on Country and Territory Names only has one GNSO Co-Chair, namely Ms. Heather Forrest. As I understand it, the CCWG has suggested that Mr. Chao's Co-Chair seat be transferred to a current GNSO Council representative, although I certainly defer to ICANN staff, namely Marika, on the precise details. Thank you, Brian Brian J. Winterfeldt Head of Internet Practice Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP 2900 K Street NW, North Tower - Suite 200 / Washington, DC 20007-5118 p / (202) 625-3562 f / (202) 339-8244 575 Madison Avenue / New York, NY 10022-2585 p / (212) 940.6762 f / (212) 894.5585 brian.winterfeldt(a)kattenlaw.com<mailto:brian.winterfeldt@kattenlaw.com> / www.kattenlaw.com<http://www.kattenlaw.com/> =========================================================== CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This electronic mail message and any attached files contain information intended for the exclusive use of the individual or entity to whom it is addressed and may contain information that is proprietary, privileged, confidential and/or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.

Sept. 4, 2014

FYI Please note the GNSO Operating procedures : http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/op-procedures-26mar14-en.pdf An abstaining or absent Council member as defined above (the Proxy Giver) may transfer his or her vote to any other Council member (the Proxy Holder). GNSO Operating Procedures, Version 2.8 Page 16 The Proxy Holder must vote in order of precedence according to one of three types: 1. An instruction from the Proxy Giver's appointing organization (if applicable), or if none; 2. An instruction from the Proxy Giver, or in the absence of either; 3. The Proxy Holder's own conscience. a. Multiple Proxies A GNSO Council member is not permitted to be a Proxy Holder for more than one Proxy Giver. b. Quorum An absent Council member does not count toward quorum even if a proxy has been established. A Temporary Alternate (see Section 4.7-Temporary Alternate below) if present, would count toward quorum. c. Proxy Notification A proxy notification must be sent to the GNSO Secretariat and should indicate which type it is. The notification should, where applicable, be sent by the Proxy Giver's appointing organization. Ordinarily a proxy notification must be received by the GNSO Secretariat before the start of the relevant meeting. Exceptionally, a proxy notification may be given during a meeting by a Council member who is present but needs to leave before a vote. In all cases the most recent notification takes precedence.
