Thank you, Terri. And special thanks for all on the GNSO Work Party, GNSO Council and others who were able to attend this session. And Staff, of course, for putting this together on short notice. As we discussed during our sessions in Marrakech, this is a huge unit of work, with a substantial volume of supporting materials. And while all volunteers are strapped for time, this is especially true for Councilors. However, if I could draw your attention to the first attachment (slides, attached again for your convenience), and in particular slides #4-15. These are the slides that outline the categories of Recommendations, their feasibility & priority as determined by the GNSO Work Party, along with comments. If folks could take a look at these in advance of our call on Thursday, that would be a huge help in prepping for our meeting. Thank you-- J.

Amr Elsadr:Also difficult to determine what the diversity of the Internet as a whole is. :) Larisa Gurnick:@Denise - Working Party and staff are discussing what a desired outcome would be and what data points are needed.

Chuck Gomes:@ Denise: Would you recommend making this a red? Amr Elsadr:Are there any thoughts on the alternative language to this recommendation suggested by the working party? Amr Elsadr:But as Denise says, a WG may not be the best option right now. PAUL MCGRADY - IPC:How would the data be stored? Under what privacy policy? Why would we put together a WG that reflects the current users of the Internet if the goal is to increase involvement from those not currently using it? What is the actual relationship between GNSO participation and access to use of the Internet? Amr Elsadr:@Paul: :) Susan Payne:@Amr I think the revised language is preferable to the original recommendation. But agree with Denise about concerns on setting another WG Amr Elsadr:@Susan: Same here. PAUL MCGRADY - IPC:For example, this call is in English. Susan Payne:yep - and at a time that is not terribly user-friendly for those in Asia PAUL MCGRADY - IPC:@Susan,, +1 We can collect personal data all day, but if the systems in place discourage diverse participation, all we did was collect data and publish it in English... Philip Corwin:I share Paul's concern. While we should strive for WGs to be diverse, I wouldn't want to see years of work rejected by Board based on something other than the quality of the report and recommendations. Denise Michel:I have to drop-off. Thanks Jen, Larisa and everyone for an informative call Larisa Gurnick:Thanks for participating, Denise PAUL MCGRADY - IPC:Shouldn't this one be Priority High? Susan Payne:@Paul - I would say this is high priority. Feedback to the review was that this isn't being done wasn't it PAUL MCGRADY - IPC:Thanks! Amr Elsadr:@Paul: regarding priority, also, this is largely being done, and not too many applications for new consituencies. Marika Konings:For the record, the GAC has considered this on various occassions but always responded that no one is able to represent the GAC, apart from the Chair, but I guess it doesn't hurt to ask again ;-) Donna Austin, Neustar:@Marikia, I doubt that the GAC will ever move away from the premise that no-one is able to represent the GAC, but perhaps they could come to understand that providing a Liaison does not mean representing or advocating positions. I think the use of 'non-binding, non-voting liaison' is important. Amr Elsadr:Due process here means pretty much the PDP manual/WG Guidelines/bylaws etc. PAUL MCGRADY - IPC:@Chuck. Thanks for the clarity. Amr Elsadr:@Paul: From the Westlake study, there seemed to be some concern that the Council acts as a legislative sort of body instead of a process manager. Amr Elsadr:..., which as far as I can tell, is not the case. Marika Konings:Thanks, Donna - the Consultation Group did touch upon that point, but there still seemed to be a lot of sensitivity in relation to the concept. However, we have definitely seen an increase in individual GAC members participating in PDP WG efforts and the other mechanisms that have been developed by the CG are also intended to facilitate early engagement and participation in the process. PAUL MCGRADY - IPC:Same questions for Recommendation 6 - what privacy policy, where will the data be stored, etc? Marika Konings:but as said, it never hurts to ask again :-) Amr Elsadr:A lot of this data is publicly archived, along with WG call attendance stats and others. PAUL MCGRADY - IPC:How was this done in the last GNSO review? Working group? Or was it done at the Council level? (Too long ago for me to remember) PAUL MCGRADY - IPC:Sorry for not knowing. The PPSAI pushed out most of my extra brain cells. James Bladel:I recall several "steering committees" to implement the recommendations. Marika Konings:and work teams Mary Wong:Yes, there was a group that also formed work teams James Bladel:@Chuck - How do you mean? Relay the comments from the work party to the Council? James Bladel:Beyond the report itself, and the motion, I don't know that other materials are being presented on Thursday's call. Chuck Gomes:@ James: No, i mean relay the comments from this call to the Council. James Bladel:Ok, sorry for misunderstanding. Will ask that we distribute these slides and the chat transcripts to the Council list. Chuck Gomes:In addition, I suggest that the specific recommendations made regarding priorities and categories be mentioned. James Bladel:Ok. That might require a friendly amendment to Wofl-Ulrich's mostion. Chuck Gomes:10 minutes; good luck. Terri Agnew:Slides, transcript and AC recording will be sent to council James Bladel:Thank you, Terri. Philip Corwin:No questions from me right now. Very useful briefing.

Re: [council] REMINDER: Meeting B [Policy Forum] Helsinki - topics for discussion
by Mary Wong April 11, 2016

April 11, 2016

Hello Donna and everyone, I hope it’s all right for staff to make a suggestion, in which case I’d like to make one on behalf of the Cross Community Working Group whose draft Framework of Principles for Future CWGs is now out for public comment. There seems to be a high level of interest in the development of a uniform approach to the formation and operation of future CWGs, including from the ICANN Board (who I understand may be submitting a public comment to the group). The group is also targeting Helsinki as the timeframe for completion of its Final Report and Framework, which hopefully will also mean that subsequent timely adoption of the final Framework will allow it to be used for the next CWG to be formed. We realize that the topic is not, strictly speaking, substantive policy, but given the timing, interest and now the opportunity to convene a cross-community dialogue on what the final principles ought to be, we thought the GNSO Council might like to consider this as a topic to suggest. Thanks and cheers Mary Mary Wong Senior Policy Director Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Email: mary.wong(a)icann.org Telephone: +1-603-5744889 From: <owner-council(a)gnso.icann.org<mailto:owner-council@gnso.icann.org>> on behalf of "Austin, Donna" <Donna.Austin(a)neustar.biz<mailto:Donna.Austin@neustar.biz>> Date: Monday, April 4, 2016 at 16:47 To: "council(a)gnso.icann.org<mailto:council@gnso.icann.org>" <council(a)gnso.icann.org<mailto:council@gnso.icann.org>> Subject: [council] REMINDER: Meeting B [Policy Forum] Helsinki - topics for discussion It would be really great to get everyone’s input here. From:owner-council@gnso.icann.org<mailto:owner-council@gnso.icann.org> [mailto:owner-council@gnso.icann.org] On Behalf Of Austin, Donna Sent: Tuesday, 29 March 2016 6:34 AM To: council(a)gnso.icann.org<mailto:council@gnso.icann.org> Subject: [council] Meeting B [Policy Forum] Helsinki Last Thursday Volker and I attended a call, hosted by Chris Disspain from the Board, to start planning for Meeting B (Policy Forum), in Helsinki in June. As a first step, we have been asked to, by 8 April 2016, identify a list of issues or topics that the GNSO would be interested in discussing at small or large cross-community sessions during the Helsinki meeting. It would seem that as a rough guide the afternoons will be assigned for cross-community engagement and the mornings will be made available for independent SO/AC work or bilateral meetings depending on requirements; however, the schedule will be developed once it is better understood what the respective requirements of all SOs and ACs. It is not expected that there will be a public forum, the Board will not meet with constituencies separately, ie no Constituency Tuesday, and no formal Board meeting. As discussed in Marrakech, there was support for the idea that the Policy Forum be used as an opportunity to progress policy development processes, namely: · PDP New gTLD Subsequent Procedures · PDP Review of All Rights Protection Mechanisms in all gTLDs · PDP on Next-Generation gTLD Registration Directory Service The Council could also use some of the time available in Helsinki to discuss workload prioritisation and working methods, but these are just suggestions. As we will need to inform Tanzanica King of our topics by 8 April, it would be useful if we could receive individual contributions by 5 April so that we can agree a consolidated list to provide to Tanzie on the 8th. We look forward to hearing from all of you on the issue of topics and issues you would like discussed in Helsinki. Thanks Donna Donna Austin:Neustar, Inc.
