GNSO Council resolutions 19 November 2015.
by Glen de Saint Géry Nov. 19, 2015

Nov. 19, 2015

Dear Councillors, Please find the resolutions from the GNSO Council meeting on 19 November 2015. 1 Approval of a charter for the Next-Generation gTLD Registration Directory Service (RDS) to replace WHOIS (Next-Gen RDS) PDP WG 1. Following submission of the WHOIS Policy Review Team's Final Report<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/final-report-11may12-en.pdf>, the ICANN Board passed a resolution on 8 November, 2012<http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/prelim-report-08nov12-en.htm>, launching an Expert Working Group on gTLD Registration Directory Services (EWG) to (1) help redefine the purpose of gTLD registration data and consider how to safeguard the data, and (2) propose a model for gTLD registration directory services to address accuracy, privacy, and access issues. 2. Upon publication of the EWG's Final Report<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/final-report-06jun14-en.pdf> in June, 2014, an informal group of Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Councilors and ICANN Board members collaborated to propose a Process Framework<http://whois.icann.org/sites/default/files/files/next-generation-rds-framew…> for structuring a GNSO Policy Development Process (PDP) to successfully address these challenging issues. 3. On 26 May, 2015<https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2015-04-26-en#1.f>, the ICANN Board adopted that Process Framework and reaffirmed its 2012 request for a Board-initiated PDP to define the purpose of collecting, maintaining and providing access to gTLD registration data, and to consider safeguards for protecting data, using the recommendations in the EWG's Final Report as an input to, and, if appropriate, as the foundation for a new gTLD policy. 4. In accordance with the PDP Rules, a new Preliminary Issue Report<http://whois.icann.org/sites/default/files/files/rds-prelim-issue-13jul15-e…> was published for public comment<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/rds-prelim-issue-2015-07-13-en> on 13 July 2015. Following review of the public comments received, the Staff Manager updated the Issue Report accordingly and included a summary of the comments received (see Annex D), which was submitted as the Final Issue Report<https://whois.icann.org/sites/default/files/files/final-issue-report-next-g…> to the GNSO Council for its consideration on 7 October 2015 5. The GNSO Council has reviewed the issues raised in the Final Issue Report as well as the Draft Charter for a PDP Working Group that was included in the Preliminary Issue Report and updated reflecting the input received in the Final Issue Report<https://whois.icann.org/sites/default/files/files/final-issue-report-next-g…> under Annex C (pp.67-77) RESOLVED, 1. The GNSO Council approves the Draft Charter proposed in the Final Issue Report<https://whois.icann.org/sites/default/files/files/final-issue-report-next-g…>and appoints Susan Kawaguchi as the GNSO Council liaison to the Next-Generation gTLD Registration Directory Service (RDS) to replace WHOIS (Next-Gen RDS) PDP WG; 2. The GNSO Council directs ICANN staff to issue a call for volunteers for the PDP WG after the approval of this motion. The call for volunteers should be circulated as widely as possible in order to ensure broad representation and participation in the Working Group and should be initiated no later than January 4th, 2016 and remain open until the WG convenes for the first time; and 3. The WG, when convened, is instructed to reach out to all Stakeholder Groups/Constituencies SG/Cs for additional feedback on any items that they believe should be considered that may not have been specifically called out in the charter. The WG is also expected to consider input already provided by SG/Cs during the public comment period on the Preliminary Issue Report. Should the WG be of the view that after the review of this feedback changes need to be made to the charter to address these, the WG is expected to come back to the Council with proposed changes to the charter for the Council to consider. 1. Until such time as the WG selects a chair(s) for the WG and that chair(s) is confirmed by the GNSO Council, the GNSO Council liaison to the WG shall serve as the interim chair. 2. Approval of the Referral Request to the Standing Committee on Improvements Implementation (SCI) Whereas 1. The GNSO Operating Procedures<http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/op-procedures-24jun15-en.pdf> in Chapter 2.2 describe the process of elections of the GNSO Chair and the GNSO Vice-Chairs 2. Following the result of the initial election round at ICANN54 in Dublin, the GNSO Council agreed on a time table<http://gnso.icann.org/en/elections/proposed-council-chair-03sep15-en.pdf> for the next round for the election of the GNSO Chair 2015-2016 3. During the ICANN 54 meeting in Dublin questions were raised with regards to the election process for the GNSO Chair and Vice-Chairs, including the candidate nomination process with particular reference to the preparedness of newly-elected Council members to vote, the eligibility of newly elected Councilors to run for the GNSO Chair position, the need for the GNSO Council to specifically determine the term of the Chair and Vice-Chairs in accordance with the ICANN Bylaws, and to the overall timing of the Chair election. Resolved The GNSO Council requests the Standing Committee on Improvements Implementation (SCI) 1. To review Sections 2.2(b), (f) and (g) of the GNSO Operating Procedures with respect to clarifying: (i) the eligibility of incoming Council members to run for the position of GNSO Chair; (ii) the start and end dates and the duration of the Chair and Vice-Chair terms in accordance with the ICANN Bylaws; and (iii) the timing of publication of the election results; and 2. To recommend a general time table for election of the GNSO Council Chair to be approved by the GNSO Council and added to the GNSO Operating Procedures. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you 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<http://gnso.icann.org/>

Feedback requested - CCT Review GNSO Requirements
by Marika Konings Nov. 19, 2015

Nov. 19, 2015

Dear All, As also mentioned in the chat, it would be helpful to know whether the Council supports the GNSO Council Requirements as set out on page two and for your convenience also copied here below so that staff can reach out to the candidates looking for GNSO endorsements to provide this information so that it can be received well in time for the next GNSO Council meeting. With regards to the time commitment which was flagged as one of the items to be discussed, I checked with my colleagues and they estimate that the following is required: * Weekly meetings of around 1-2 hours each * F2F meetings at ICANN meetings * Possibly 1-2 F2F meetings (total) outside the ICANN meetings during 2016 * As the RT gets ready to publish its Final Report, activity may increase to about 5 hours a week, but that may only be for a couple of weeks. * The hope is that the Final Report is published by the end of 2016, although it could take longer to get through all the issues In light of that, maybe the requirement could be revised as follows: An attestation that the applicant is able and willing to commit an estimated average of two hours per week during the review period, which may increase to 5 hours per week towards the final stages of the project, in addition to participating in face to face review team meetings. Please share any comments or edits you may have as soon as possible as we would like to get back to the candidates as soon as possible to collect this information if the Council agrees that this required information for the endorsement process. Best regards, Marika Additional GNSO Requirements: A person seeking GNSO endorsement must include the following information in the application: · The applicant's full name, title, contact information and employer; · The ICANN Geographic Region(s) in which the applicant is a citizen and a resident; · Identification of the GSNO stakeholder group, if any, to which the applicant feels most closely affiliated; · An attestation that the applicant is able and willing to commit an estimated average of about ten hours per week during the review period, in addition to participating in face to face review team meetings; · Identification of any financial ownership or senior management/leadership interest of the applicant in registries, registrars or other entities that are stakeholders or interested parties in ICANN or any entity with which ICANN has a transaction, contract, or other arrangement; · Indication of whether the applicant would be representing any other party or person on the review team and, if so, identification of that party or person; · A two to three paragraph statement about the applicant's knowledge of the GNSO community's structures and operations and any participation therein; · A one to two paragraph statement about the applicant's specialized technical or other expertise of direct relevance to the responsibilities of the review team in question. From: <owner-council(a)gnso.icann.org<mailto:owner-council@gnso.icann.org>> on behalf of Marika Konings <marika.konings(a)icann.org<mailto:marika.konings@icann.org>> Date: Wednesday 18 November 2015 09:57 To: Council <council(a)gnso.icann.org<mailto:council@gnso.icann.org>> Subject: FW: [council] Agenda item 8 - GNSO Candidates for CCT Review Team Dear All, On behalf of Volker Greimann, please find attached the original process that GNSO Council used for its endorsements for the ATRT2 as well as a modified version that has been developed by Wolf-Ulrich Knoben that the Council may wish to consider for the purpose of the CCT endorsements.

latest version of the GAC Communique response.
by Stephanie Perrin Nov. 19, 2015

Nov. 19, 2015

My profuse apologies for sending this document so late. I think it still needs work, but am very grateful to Donna Austin and Heather Forrest for their suggestions, which I hope I have transcribed accurately. I think, given my own lack of expertise in the areas that the GAC tends to focus on, that a discussion would be most welcome before we attempt to finalize. Stephanie Perrin

Final Issue Report on a Next-Generation gTLD Registration Directory Service to replace WHOIS and Motion
by Susan Kawaguchi Nov. 19, 2015

Nov. 19, 2015

Hello All, Hope everyone traveled home safely from the Dublin meeting and you have had time to catch up. We agreed to defer this motion at the Dublin meeting due to concerns with the charter. Please share any comments / edits on the charter as soon as possible with the mailing list so that these can be discussed and hopefully addressed in a way that works for all ahead of the next meeting. I have also updated the motion to reflect the concerns that a call for volunteers within 10 days of approval of the motion would place a burden on the community. I have added language that states the call for volunteers should be initiated January 4th, 2016. (this is the first business day of 2016). Looking forward to your comments and edits. Best regards Susan Kawaguchi Domain Name Manager Facebook Legal Dept. Phone - 650 485-6064
