RE: [council] FW: NomCom appointee skill sets
by Winterfeldt, Brian J. May 7, 2015

May 7, 2015

Dear all: Based on recommendations by others, and a shift from the ambiguous to the explicit, I note that intellectual property law is absent from the criteria. Accordingly I would ask for the following amendment.  International law  Competition law  Intellectual property law  Public interest issues  Consumer rights  Human rights  Economics, especially market analysis  Market mechanisms and dynamics  Business principles Thank you, Brian Brian J.

Message from the Policy & Implementation WG Co-Chairs
by Marika Konings Jan. 29, 2015

Jan. 29, 2015

Dear All, Please find below a message from J. Scott Evans and Chuck Gomes in their capacity as co-chairs of the Policy & Implementation Working Group. Best regards, Marika ================ Dear GNSO Councilors, Hopefully all of you are aware that the GNSO Policy & Implementation WG posted its Initial Recommendations Report on 19 January for public comment: https://www.icann.org/public-comments/policy-implementation-2015-01-19-en. The WG would like to take advantage of the in-person opportunities in Singapore to answer questions people may have about the report, especially the principles and recommendations in the report. Our understanding is that there will be a 30-minute working session scheduled on Saturday to discuss the report. We believe that the session would be most valuable if it could be a Q&A session rather than a presentation session, so we would like to encourage you and your respective groups to read the report and come prepared to ask any questions you have. Note that, amongst others, the WG is recommending three new GNSO processes that we believe can the fill the gaps that the GNSO has experienced in recent years when the GNSO is asked for advice in cases where a full blown PDP is not required or may take too long. Here is a direct link to the report: http://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/policy-implementation/pi-wg-initial-recomme… . We look forward to responding to your questions. J. Scott Evans & Chuck Gomes, P&I WG Co-chairs

GNSO info pages launched
by Lars Hoffmann Jan. 29, 2015

Jan. 29, 2015

Dear Councilors, Following feedback from several of you during ICANN51 that it would be helpful to have easier access to the different information sources that are currently available as well as further direction on what information is provided to guide both newcomers as well as veterans, staff has created a new one-stop information web-page (http://gnso.icann.org/sites/gnso.icann.org/files/gnso/presentations/policy- efforts.htm). As of today, the new page is clearly linked from the GNSO home page (gnso.icann.org) either via the quick link¹ button at the top or via the quick links in the left-hand column. In addition, we have created a new page that centralizes important GNSO-related information for the upcoming ICANN52 meeting that we hope will assist attendees in their preparation for the meeting (http://gnso.icann.org/icannmeeting) We intend to update this page for all future ICANN meetings. We hope that this addresses some of the comments and feedback received. Still, we are always looking for ways to further improve and enhance the GNSO experience so if you have any additional suggestions or ideas, please feel free to share those, on list or off, as we look to improve both sites further over time. Many thanks and best wishes Lars Info Page: http://gnso.icann.org/sites/gnso.icann.org/files/gnso/presentations/policy-e fforts.htm GSNO @ ICANN52: http://gnso.icann.org/en/icannmeeting
