The GNSO Council will not be providing substantive input at this stage, but has encouraged its Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies to provide input on the Initial Report and its recommendations. The GNSO Council looks forward to receiving the Final Report for its consideration in due time. If you have any comments and/or concerns about this proposed comment, please share this with the list by Friday 7 December at the latest. If no objections are received, this comment will be submitted on behalf of the GNSO Council.

Unless there are any specific concerns or issues in the Initial Report that the Council believe should be flagged from a Council perspective, I would like to suggest that the Council submit a short note thanking the CCWG for its efforts, welcoming the Initial Report and noting that GNSO SG/Cs have been encouraged to provide input on the Initial Report. I would be happy to draft something if you would support this course of action. Do note that the public comment forum closes on 27 November so any statement would need to be agreed on via the mailing list as soon as possible. Similarly, the Council discussed the recent Board decision to allocate part of the auction proceeds to the reserve fund. Staff kindly followed up with further information in relation to this decision (https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2018-October/021987.html<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmm.icann.…>) as requested. I am not sure whether there is a further desire to discuss this issue and/or consider undertaking potential action, but I would suggest that this is considered separately from the new gTLD Auction Proceeds CCWG as it is not within its remit to reconsider or change the Board action. I look forward to receiving your feedback, Erika Erika Mann GNSO Council erika(a)erikamann.com<mailto:erika@erikamann.com> +32 498 121354

FW: FYI please - false statements being made to Council on IGO matter
by Drazek, Keith Dec. 4, 2018

Dec. 4, 2018

FYI, I received this note from Brian Beckham concerning our ongoing discussions of the IGO-INGO CRP matter and the other emails I had forwarded to the list. In the future, I will collect and package these communications for Council consideration rather than forwarding them individually. Regards, Keith From: BECKHAM, Brian <brian.beckham(a)wipo.int> Sent: Friday, November 30, 2018 10:19 AM To: Mary Wong <mary.wong(a)icann.org>; Drazek, Keith <kdrazek(a)verisign.com>; pam.little(a)alibaba-inc.com; rafik.dammak(a)gmail.com Cc: Jon PASSARO (Jonathan.PASSARO(a)oecd.org) <Jonathan.PASSARO(a)oecd.org>; manal(a)tra.gov.eg; Jorge.Cancio <Jorge.Cancio(a)bakom.admin.ch>; ghislain.de-salins(a)finances.gouv.fr Subject: [EXTERNAL] FYI please - false statements being made to Council on IGO matter Dear Mary, dear Keith, Pam, Rafik, cc Manal, Ghislain, Jorge, Jon, I am sorry to bother you with this, but wanted to express hope that if a moment presents itself, if and as you would consider appropriate, the Council would be made aware of misleading statements being made to it e.g., at: https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2018-November/022095.html Statements such as "(i.e. 'GAC' is really just a handful of IGOs within the GAC, i.e. OECD & WIPO)" are inaccurate at best, and arguably intentionally misleading given inter alia information and correspondence provided on a number of occasions by IGOs to the relevant WG. As should be clear from the background documents on this file (of which there are many, so I appreciate that it is easy to get lost!) not only is this not true vis-à-vis the GAC which as you know operates on the basis of UN-defined consensus (a seriously higher bar than the standard ICANN GNSO definition) and has repeatedly stated a public interest in IGO causes, but nor is it true as relates to IGOs. More specifically as to the latter, in a letter from the Assistant Secretary-General for the U.N. Office of Legal Affairs to the ICANN Board, the OECD and WIPO when participating in ICANN discussions are representing some 40 IGOs for the benefit of all IGOs (numbering around 200): https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/mathias-to-board-27jul… I do not wish to add the above clarification merely by way of an incidental reaction to be posted to the GNSO public email list (which I do not request, but leave to your discretion), but thought this a sufficiently important matter to raise to your attention. I also understand the Council is considering a dialogue with the GAC and wish to affirm our willingness to assist this effort.
