FOR INFORMATION: Final version of GNSO Council input on proposed RDS Review scope
by Mary Wong Jan. 4, 2017

Jan. 4, 2017

Dear Councilors, Please find attached the final version of the GNSO Council’s input on the proposal for a limited scope for the forthcoming RDS Review. As no further comments were received by the deadline that had been agreed on by the Council in December, this is the version that we will forward to our colleagues who are coordinating the RDS Review. We are circulating it for your information, so that you can see the substantive input first drafted by Susan and Keith, with the additional edits provided subsequently by the IPC, incorporated in a letter format. Thanks and cheers Mary From: Mary Wong <mary.wong(a)icann.org> Date: Wednesday, December 21, 2016 at 13:16 To: Heather Forrest <Heather.Forrest(a)acu.edu.au>, "council(a)gnso.icann.org" <council(a)gnso.icann.org> Cc: "Paul McGrady (Policy)" <policy(a)paulmcgrady.com> Subject: LAST CALL for Councilors' input on draft response to proposed RDS Charter revisions Dear Councilors, As agreed on the last Council call of 13 December, please provide your (and your respective SG/C’s) input, if any, to the draft response prepared by Susan and Keith on the proposed scope of the RDS Review by today, Wednesday 21 December. Please also provide your feedback on the proposed modifications and questions raised by the IPC (below). The agreed date for finalizing the Council response is tomorrow, Thursday 22 December. Staff will prepare to send the finalized Council response to our colleagues who are supporting the Review Team on Friday 23 December. Thank you for your urgent attention to this matter. Cheers Mary From: <owner-council(a)gnso.icann.org> on behalf of Heather Forrest <Heather.Forrest(a)acu.edu.au> Date: Tuesday, December 20, 2016 at 07:19 To: "council(a)gnso.icann.org" <council(a)gnso.icann.org> Cc: "Paul McGrady (Policy)" <policy(a)paulmcgrady.com> Subject: [council] IPC input on draft response to proposed RDS Charter revisions Dear colleagues, Following up on our action items from the Council meeting last week, the IPC is grateful to Susan and Keith for their work on developing the strawman response from Council in relation to the proposed narrowing of the scope of the charter of the forthcoming RDS Review. Please find attached the strawman with a few proposed modifications by the IPC, plus these clarifying questions: * The bylaws language in red - is there a reason for the red text? * Items 1 and 2 refer to "current RDS efforts" - should we specify exactly what this means? (ie, does this refer to the Registration Directory Services as is/currently running, improvement efforts underway but not yet fully operational (e.g., PPSAI), or does it refer to the efforts of the RDS PDP WG? Or all of the above?) * 4.6(e)(i) refers to efforts ICANN should make with the SO/ACs "to improve accuracy and access to generic top-level domain registration data." This goal is not reflected in the Charter items. Isn't it appropriate that the RT review the "efforts" underway to see if this goal is being met? Best wishes, Heather

GAC - Board call on Hyderabad communique
by Austin, Donna Jan. 4, 2017

Jan. 4, 2017

For those interested the transcript and adobe recording of this call have been posted on the GAC website and the links are provided below. If you are reading the transcript, be aware that it does not appear to have been reviewed for accuracy and as a result some of the text reads a little peculiarly. The adobe connect recording also makes it easier to follow as the conversation is following a document prepared by the Board before the call. It's clear from the discussion that some in the GAC were aware of the GNSO Council response to the communique, but the Board wasn't. 15 December 2016 GAC and ICANN Board conference call recording<https://gacweb.icann.org/display/gacweb/Governmental+Advisory+Committee> Transcripts: English<https://gacweb.icann.org/download/attachments/27132037/20161215_GAC_and_ICA…> Adobe Connect recording<https://participate.icann.org/p7lng0hpoc4/> Call Notes<https://gacweb.icann.org/display/gacweb/Governmental+Advisory+Committee>
