CCC RT letter by the CSG
by Volker Greimann 15 Jan '16

15 Jan '16

I just noted the following letter on the ICANN page: https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/bc-cct-to-chehade-schn… I find it interesting that a lack of gender diversity (which looks like it is an issue on this group) is (ab-)used to argue for the increase of the voice of one stakeholder group. Why that candidate in particular, if indeed 9 others were also suggested? No reasons are given! It would probably have been reasonable to request more gender diversity in general, but to use that argument to push your own interests seems ... off! -- Bei weiteren Fragen stehen wir Ihnen gerne zur Verfügung.

The small sub team reviewing comments submitted by SGs and Cs met today, and finalization of the findings/comments contained in the motion will be completed between now and our meeting. Please note that on todays call we also raised the possibility that a GNSO response might be more informal (e.g., letter) rather than a formal motion.

Although this GNSO input is submitted after the close of the public comment period, the GNSO Council expects the CCWG-Accountability to give this input due consideration as it is the aggregation of the individual GNSO SG/C positions that were submitted before the deadline. 4.

Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP) Operational Profile for gTLD Registries and Registrars
by Volker Greimann 12 Jan '16

12 Jan '16

Dear all, ICANN recently launched a Public Comment on the above. This proposal as it stands is not merely a technical protocal, but appears to have significant policy implicantions that I feel need to be approved by the GNSO prior to adoption and implementation. I would therefore propose that the council comments and firmly establishes its intent to review the policy implications with a view of initiating policy work to either confirm or reject the policy aspects of this proposal. I also worry that this proposal is somewhat superfluous with regard to the already ongoing implementation work for thick whois and the upcoming policy work on the RDS, which would replace all of this. Bearing in mind the costs of implementation, we would be well advised to avoid work that is potentially overridden in short order. Potentially, the council might therefore also request that the implementation work on RDAP be halted until the RDS work is completed. -- Bei weiteren Fragen stehen wir Ihnen gerne zur Verfügung.

The ICANN Board is interested in further community reaction to those recommendations and has instructed the Staff to open and manage a public comment period of at least 120 days to give the community an opportunity to thoroughly review the proposals and provide any additional comments on the working group recommendations. Current Status: Community feedback is requested concerning the Working Group recommendations. Next Steps: Upon completion of the public comment period, staff will summarize and forward any community input to the ICANN Board of Directors. Section I: Description, Explanation, and Purpose The cross-community Geographic Regions Review Working Group has produced its Final Report in which it proposes a series of recommendations regarding the ongoing application of the organization's geographic regions framework. The ICANN Board is interested in further community reaction to those recommendations and has instructed the Staff to open and manage a public comment period of at least 120 days to give the community an opportunity to thoroughly review the proposals and provide any additional comments on the working group recommendations. The Working Group's Final Report provides an extensive series of conclusions, proposals and recommendations including: 1. The Working Group concludes that the general principle of geographic diversity is valuable and should be preserved. 2. Application of the geographic diversity principles must be more rigorous, clear and consistent. 3. Adjusting the number of ICANN geographic regions is not currently practical. 4. No other International Regional Structures offer useful options for ICANN. 5. ICANN must formally adopt and maintain its own unique Geographic Regions Framework. 6. The Community wants to minimize any changes to the current structure. 7. ICANN must acknowledge the sovereignty and right of self-determination of states to let them choose their region of allocation. 8. ICANN communities have flexibly applied geographic diversity principles over the years. While the Board should remain strictly subject to the current framework, flexibility should be preserved for other structures. 9. "Special Interest Groups" or "Cross-Regional Sub-Groups" offer new diversity opportunities. 10. Implementation mechanisms and processes must be developed by Staff; and 11. The Board must preserve its oversight and future review opportunities. The comment period will give individuals and community groups an opportunity to thoroughly review the proposals and provide any additional comments on the working group recommendations. Section II: Background The ICANN Board chartered a cross-community working group to (1) identify the different purposes for which ICANN's Geographic Regions are used; (2) determine whether the uses of ICANN's Geographic Regions (as currently defined, or at all) continue to meet the requirements of the relevant stakeholders; and (3) submit proposals for community and Board consideration relating to the current and future uses and definition of the ICANN Geographic Regions. Over the course of its deliberations, the Working Group (1) reviewed the underlying history, objectives and general principles of ICANN's Geographic Regions Framework, (2) identified the various applications and functions to which the regions framework has been applied by existing structures and the ICANN staff; and (3) engaged the ICANN community in an extensive collaborative dialogue about issues and potential solutions to maintain and potentially expand the value of the geographic regions framework for the entire community. The Working Group concluded its work and presented its Final Report recommendations to the Chair of the ICANN Board on 4 November 2015. The Working Group recommended that the Board direct staff to manage a public comment forum period to give the community an opportunity to review and evaluate the recommendations and share comments with the Board before it begins its assessment of and deliberations on the recommendations. The Board agreed.

Re: [council] Charter for New gTLD Subsequent Procedures
by Steve Chan 11 Jan '16

11 Jan '16

Dear Councilors, As was agreed on the 17 December GNSO Council call, staff has worked with Susan, Philip, and Paul to develop the attached proposed red-lined changes to the Charter for New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP. This amended language is intended to avoid any ambiguity in regards to Rights Protection Mechanisms (RPMs) related activities for the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP. In particular: * RPM related topics can be discussed, but proposing recommendations directly concerning RPMs is beyond the remit of this PDP. * A community liaison should be jointly appointed by the two PDP Working Groups (i.e., New gTLD Subsequent Procedures and RPMs) and confirmed by the GNSO Council in order to promote effective collaboration and coordination, Discussion on these proposed changes is welcomed and encouraged. If you have any questions, please let me know. Best, Steve Steven Chan Sr. Policy Manager ICANN 12025 Waterfront Drive, Suite 300 Los Angeles, CA 90094-2536 steve.chan(a)icann.org <mailto:steve.chan@icann.org> direct: +1.310.301.3886 mobile: +1.310.339.4410 tel: +1.310.301.5800 fax: +1.310.823.8649 From: <owner-council(a)gnso.icann.org> on behalf of "Austin, Donna" <Donna.Austin(a)neustar.biz> Date: Thursday, January 7, 2016 at 12:36 PM To: "council(a)gnso.icann.org" <council(a)gnso.icann.org> Subject: [council] Charter for New gTLD Subsequent Procedures Hi All Happy New Year I see by the Council list that many of you have not stopped to rest during the holiday season. I¹m not wishing to add to the burden of workload, but I¹m interested to know if we have an update on the status of Charter for New gTLD Subsequent Procedures, in particular, whether we will be in a position to reconsider a motion to approve the Charter at our meeting on 21 January 2016. >From memory, I think Susan, Phil and Paul were going to review the Charter provided in the Final Issues Report to ensure that there is no duplication or overlap of Rights Protection Mechanisms given the issue appears as an item in the Subsequent Procedures Final Issue Report and is also being considered in a stand-alone Issues Report on the Review of all RPMs in all gTLDs. I am happy to contribute to this effort if required in order to move this along if required. Thanks in advance Donna Donna Austin:Neustar, Inc.
