Follow up from IDN update session (re IDN Implementation Guidelines)
by Mary Wong June 24, 2015

June 24, 2015

Dear Council members, At the 29 January 2015 GNSO Council meeting, the Council approved the formation of an informal community discussion group to develop a list of issues for consideration during the proposed upcoming review of the IDN Implementation Guidelines. This was in response to a 3 December 2014 letter request from Akram Atallah and ICANN¹s IDN Program staff, asking the GNSO Council and community to provide this feedback. Edmon (cc¹d on this email) has already volunteered for this effort, and I believe that some SGs may be providing volunteers for this group as well. As noted previously, the Guidelines address second-level concerns with IDN implementation, including cyber squatting issues. Do note that this is not a formally chartered GNSO Working Group, the idea being that the specific task would be most effectively accomplished if the community self-identified the list of issues most of concern to them. That said, it would be very helpful if Sarmad (also cc¹d on this email) and staff know who from the community will be collaborating with Edmon to develop the list. As such, please do let us know who in your respective groups and community will be involved, and if there is anything we can do to help advance the discussions. FYI, I am also cc¹ing members of the community who had in previous meetings with the BVWG indicated interest in participating in community efforts relating to IDN implementation, in case they or their groups are also interested in contributing to the pending revision of the IDN Implementation Guidelines. Thanks and cheers Mary Mary Wong Senior Policy Director Internet Corporation for Assigned Names & Numbers (ICANN) Telephone: +1 603 574 4892 Email: mary.wong(a)icann.org

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.

Draft requests from the Council to the SCI
by Mary Wong March 31, 2015

March 31, 2015

Dear Councilors, Attached please find two draft requests that can be sent from the Council to the GNSO Standing Committee for Improvements (SCI). As you¹ll recall, the SCI update session in Singapore concluded with an action item for Avri, as Council liaison to the SCI, working with staff, to draft these template requests concerning two issues: (1) dealing with the Council¹s uncodified practice as regards proposers, seconders and friendly amendment of motions; and (2) the unresolved question of potential overlap between the rules concerning waiver of the 10-day motion deadline and the resubmission of motions. We expect this topic to be on the agenda for the upcoming Council meeting, and so are sending these to you at this time. Thanks and cheers Mary Mary Wong Senior Policy Director Internet Corporation for Assigned Names & Numbers (ICANN) Telephone: +1 603 574 4892 Email: mary.wong(a)icann.org

GNSO Council resolutions 19 March 2015
by Glen de Saint Géry March 20, 2015

March 20, 2015

Dear Councillors, Please find the resolutions passed by the GNSO Council in its meeting on Thursday, 19 March 2015. These are also published on page: http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions Consent agenda Council confirmed the selection of the Privacy & Proxy Services Accreditation Issues (PPSAI) Working Group for a facilitated face-to-face meeting at ICANN53 in Buenos Aires. Motion to implement the recommendations of the GAC-GNSO Consultation Group in relation to Issue Scoping on a trial basis 1. In March 2014 the GNSO and GAC formed a joint consultation group (CG) to explore mechanisms to facilitate GAC early engagement in GNSO Policy Development Processes. 2. As per its charter, the CG's deliberations have focused on two tracks, namely 1) a mechanism for day-to-day ongoing cooperation and 2) a mechanism for GAC early engagement in the GNSO PDP (see https://community.icann.org/display/gnsogcgogeeipdp/3.+Charter) 3. As part of its deliberations on track 2), the CG put forward a set of preliminary recommendations concerning the issue scoping phase of the PDP which were reviewed and discussed by the GAC and the GNSO during the ICANN52 meeting in Singapore (see http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/gac-cg-issue-scoping-27jan15-en.pdf) 4. The GAC noted in its Communiqué (ICANN52), that 'The GAC met the GNSO and agreed, on a trial basis and subject to ongoing adjustments as necessary, to a mechanism proposed by the GAC-GNSO Consultation Group for early engagement at the issues scoping phase of the GNSO Policy Development Process (PDP). This includes formation of a GAC Quick-Look Mechanism Committee. The arrangements will allow for an early indication in the PDP of whether the issue has a standing GAC advice and whether it has public policy implications, and hence is of interest to the GAC. It will also enable the GNSO to factor this in and the GAC to prepare input to be provided at the relevant stages of the PDP. This would not limit the GAC's existing ability to give advice to the ICANN Board'. 5. Based on these discussions and input received, the CG recommends that the GAC and GNSO Council implement these recommendations on a trial basis, in order to assess their effectiveness in facilitating GAC early engagement in the GNSO PDP. 6. In the meantime, the CG will continue its review and deliberations on the other phases of the GNSO PDP, which may result in further proposals of additional recommendations for consideration. RESOLVED 1. The GNSO Council agrees to jointly implement with the GAC, the preliminary recommendations by the CG concerning the issue scoping phase of the PDP as outlined here http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/gac-cg-issue-scoping-27jan15-en.pdf on a trial basis for a minimum of 3 consecutive GNSO PDP's immediately following the adoption of the motion. 2. Following the end of this trial period, the CG is expected to report back to the GAC and GNSO Council on the effectiveness of these recommendations as a result of the experiences gained during the trial period. Furthermore, the CG is expected to make a recommendation as to whether or not the preliminary recommendations concerning the issue scoping phase of the PDP should be permanently implemented, either in their current form, or with possible modifications based on the further work of the CG including experience gained during the trial. 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 http://gnso.icann.org
