Fwd: Call for volunteers from GNSO for Work Track 5 (Geographic Names at the Top-Level)
by James M. Bladel Oct. 26, 2017

Oct. 26, 2017

Councilors - Please see below for a note from Martin Sutton on WT5, and share with your SG/C leadership. For this effort to succeed, we need to ensure strong participation from across the GNSO Thank you, J. ————— James Bladel GNSO Chair ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Martin Sutton <martin(a)brandregistrygroup.org> Date: Oct 25, 2017, 05:31 -0500 To: James M. Bladel <jbladel(a)godaddy.com>, Heather.Forrest(a)acu.edu.au <Heather.Forrest(a)acu.edu.au>, Austin, Donna <Donna.Austin(a)neustar.biz> Subject: Call for volunteers from GNSO for Work Track 5 (Geographic Names at the Top-Level) Dear James, Heather & Donna, Call for volunteers from GNSO for Work Track 5 (Geographic Names at the Top-Level) A call for volunteers to participate in Work Track 5 (WT5) of the GNSO Subsequent Procedures PDP WG was published by ICANN (https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2017-10-22-en) Along with representatives from ALAC, ccNSO and the GAC, I am pleased to be appointed as a co-leader from the GNSO for this group, which will focus on the treatment of geographic names at the top-level. Due to the levels of interest on this topic and divergent views expressed across the ICANN community, we expect to see wide representation from ALAC, ccNSO and the GAC. There are divergent views also within the GNSO and it is, therefore, important to encourage participation from each of the GNSO stakeholder and constituency groups in order to ensure their views are heard and considered throughout the progress of WT5. A meeting dedicated to Work Track 5 is scheduled for Wednesday 1 November, 8:30-12:00, in Abu Dhabi (https://schedule.icann.org/event/CbGp/gnso-new-gtld-subsequent-procedures-p…) which will provide an opportunity for the community to provide input to the Terms of Reference and the overall approach for this work track. Participation from GNSO stakeholder and constituency groups, whether in-person or via remote, would be invaluable. I would be grateful if you could bring this to the attention of the GNSO Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies to ensure the call for volunteers is cascaded to their respective groups to maximise sign-up and participation. Kind regards, Martin Sutton Co-Leader, WT5 Martin Sutton Executive Director Brand Registry Group martin(a)brandregistrygroup.org<mailto:martin@brandregistrygroup.org>

Update on the status of implementation of GAC-GNSO Consultation Group Recommendations
by Marika Konings Oct. 25, 2017

Oct. 25, 2017

Dear All, Please find attached for your review the latest update on the status of implementation of the GAC-GNSO Consultation Group recommendations. In short: * You will find attached the GNSO flow chart which was developed in the context of the Hubba bubba exercise. Staff has added in blue the five steps of the GAC Quick Look Mechanism (QLM) as per recommendation #2. Following your review, we will post this version on the GNSO web-site. Note that in addition to the QLM, there are various other steps in the PDP that anticipate engagement with ICANN Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees. * A revised version of the GNSO Operating Procedures was published for public comment in June of this year, including the proposed revisions to make the QLM a standard feature of the PDP per recommendation #3 (see proposed new section 5 in the GNSO PDP manual at PDF<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/proposed-revisions-bylaws-artic…>). No comments were received in relation to these proposed revisions but as the update to the GNSO Operating Procedures was combined with other proposed changes which are still under GNSO Council consideration final adoption has not taken place yet. However, this is expected to happen prior to ICANN61. Staff anticipates that all outstanding implementation items will be completed at the latest by ICANN61. If you have any comments and/or questions, please let me know. This update will also be shared with the GAC. Best regards, Marika Marika Konings Vice President, Policy Development Support – GNSO, Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Email: marika.konings(a)icann.org<mailto:marika.konings@icann.org> Follow the GNSO via Twitter @ICANN_GNSO Find out more about the GNSO by taking our interactive courses<http://learn.icann.org/courses/gnso> and visiting the GNSO Newcomer pages<http://gnso.icann.org/sites/gnso.icann.org/files/gnso/presentations/policy-…>.

GNSO Council Agenda Item: ICANN FY Budget and Ops Plan Standing Committee
by Berry Cobb Oct. 25, 2017

Oct. 25, 2017

Dear Council Members, Staff wanted to draw your attention to one of the agenda items in preparation for the Council call on 12 October. You might recall discussions at ICANN59 about the possible formation of a standing committee to assist the GNSO Council's participation in the annual ICANN Fiscal Year Budget and Operating Plan process and to become more proactive in preparation of public comments on behalf of the Council. Attached, you will find a draft document that first contains a call for volunteers within the Council and secondly the document contains a proposed draft charter for the standing committee activities. Should the Council support the standing committee formation and with adequate volunteers, the charter can then be further refined and later approved by the Council. In related news, you just saw a note sent by the Council Chair with the announcement of the public comment period for the PTI FY19 draft budget. In the past, the Council has not submitted public comments because it is more to do with operations that affect registry operators and less to do with policy development. However, that does not prevent the Council from submitting comments for this cycle. The comment period will close 26 November. The target for PTI budget approval is 9 January 2018. There will also be two sessions at ICANN60 relating to the FY19 Budget: . ICANN Budget Basics (30 Oct, 1515-1645) http://sched.co/CbEv . Budget Working Group (1 Nov, 1030-1400) http://sched.co/CbGT Also, ICANN Finance held an FY19 Planning webinar in September <https://community.icann.org/display/projfinadhocws/FY19+Planning+Process> . The public comment window for the ICANN Org budget is set to begin on 15 January until 4 March 2018. You might notice this schedule is earlier than prior years to allow the ICANN Board to approve the budget and still provide adequate time for review by the Empowered Community (EC). The earlier process cycle and Board approval is to mitigate ICANN Org from having to enter into the "care-taker budget" process should the EC choose not to reject the budget. Staff will remind the Council often as key milestones on the budget process draw near. Thank you for your attention and staff looks forward to assisting the Council on this process. B Berry A.
