Updated Timeline for RPM PDP
by McGrady, Paul D. Dec. 4, 2018

Dec. 4, 2018

Hi Councilors: Further to my brief update on our last call, attached is the updated timeline for the RPM PDP. As you can see, the conclusion date slips another 6 weeks. We could see more slippage as this is considered to be an "aggressive" timeline and there are some variables not under the WG's control, for example, the volume of public comments which may be received. I am keeping a tight eye on this and will report back should anything drastic happen that affects the timeline. Please let me know if you have any questions. Best, Paul Paul D. McGrady Partner Winston & Strawn LLP 35 W.

Correction Issued: IRTP Policy Status Report (PSR)
by Brian Aitchison Dec. 4, 2018

Dec. 4, 2018

Dear GNSO Council, Following our presentation of the IRTP PSR to the GNSO on 29 November, we were alerted to a labeling error in Sections 1.5 and 2 of the report posted on 14 November 2018. Aggregated transfer numbers in these sections were erroneously labeled as “yearly” rather than “monthly”. These labels have been corrected. An updated version of the report and associated slides are attached. The public comment page has also been updated with the corrected version of the report: https://www.icann.org/public-comments/irtp-status-2018-11-14-en The corrections affected the following figures in Sections 1.5 and 2, copy-pasted and highlighted here: · On average, approximately 414,000 domain transfers occurred per month—or 4,968,000 per year—during the observation period (2009 – 2017) · Total domain registrations per year during the observation period ranged from 114,927,682 in October 2009 to 196,396,264 in April 2018, with an average of 156,766,483 yearly domain registrations. This means, on average, total domain transfers represented about 3% of total domain registrations per year We apologize for the error, and appreciate the Council’s and Community’s diligent reading of the report. Please let me know of any questions. All best, Brian -- Brian Aitchison, PhD Lead Researcher Operations and Policy Research Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Los Angeles, CA p. 424 353 9041 e. brian.aitchison(a)icann.org<mailto:brian.aitchison@icann.org> Sk. brian.aitchison.icann

ACTION ITEM: GNSO Representative to the Fellowship Selection Committee (FCS)
by Drazek, Keith Dec. 4, 2018

Dec. 4, 2018

Hi all, Following our discussion on last Thursday's GNSO Council call, we have an action item to confirm the GNSO's representative to the Fellowship Selection Committee (FCS). A summary: * In August, the Fellowship Program asked each SO/AC to nominate one representative to serve a 2-year term on this committee. The deadline was September 10. * Given the short timeframe to make a selection, Heather Forrest volunteered as interim representative. * The current Fellowship Selection Committee began its work in October. * Heather has since volunteered to extend her term of service in this position. Rafik, Pam and I met yesterday and agreed to recommend that the Council confirm Heather's continued membership on the Committee for the remainder of the 2-year term. If anyone has concerns or objects to this recommendation, please speak up now. Otherwise, we will confirm this decision during our upcoming Council meeting on 20 December. Thanks and regards, Keith
