Please review: GNSO Council motions 22 February 2018
by Terri Agnew Feb. 23, 2018

Feb. 23, 2018

Dear councilors, The following resolutions were passed by the GNSO Council at its meeting on Thursday, 22 February 2018. It has been posted on the GNSO website here: https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions 20180222-1 Amended motion – Adoption of the charter for the ICANN Procedure For Handling WHOIS Conflicts with Privacy Law Implementation Advisory Group (WHOIS Procedure IAG) Submitted by: Donna Austin Seconded by: Heather Forrest Whereas, 1.In November 2005, the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) concluded a policy development process (PDP) on WHOIS conflicts with privacy law, which recommended the creation of a procedure to address conflicts between a contracted party's WHOIS obligations and local/national privacy laws or regulations. 2. The ICANN Board of Directors adopted the recommendations in May 2006 and the final procedure was made effective in January 2008. 3. As noted in the GNSO Operating Procedures, “Periodic assessment of PDP recommendations and policies is an important tool to guard against unexpected results or inefficient processes arising from GNSO policies”. As called for in Step 6 of the <https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/whois-privacy-conflicts-procedure-200…> ICANN Procedure For Handling WHOIS Conflicts with Privacy Law, “ICANN will review the effectiveness of the process annually”. 4. Following a a review of the procedure in May 2014 and the submission of the Final Report of the Implementation Advisory Group (IAG) in May 2016, the GNSO Council concluded that the proposed modification to the procedure with the alternative trigger as outlined in Appendix I of the <http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/iag-review-whois-conflicts-procedure-append…> IAG Final Report conforms to the intent of the original policy recommendations and confirmed its non-objection to the modification being implemented by Global Domains Division staff. 5. In conjunction, the GNSO Council requested that ICANN staff, based on their experience of administering the modification, assess the practicality and feasibility of this new trigger in comparison to the existing trigger as well as the other triggers discussed in the IAG Final Report, and report back accordingly to the GNSO Council. 6. Review of the WHOIS Procedure commenced on 3 May 2017 by <https://www.icann.org/public-comments/whois-privacy-law-2017-05-03-en> publishing for public comment a paper outlining the new Alternative Trigger and soliciting public feedback on its implementation. 7. On 1 August 2017, Akram Atallah, President, ICANN Global Domains Division, <https://gnso.icann.org/en/correspondence/atallah-to-bladel-et-al-01aug17-en…> wrote to the GNSO Council to provide an update on the comments received and outlining possible next steps for the GNSO Council to consider. 8. The GNSO Council reviewed the available materials, including the GDD’s possible next steps, and agreed to form a drafting team to develop a charter for a new implementation advisory group to review the public comments in order to assess whether modifications to the Revised ICANN Procedure for Handling WHOIS Conflicts with Privacy Law are necessary and to make recommendations to the GNSO Council accordingly. 9. The drafting team submitted the <https://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/draft-icann-procedure-whois-conflicts-iag-…> proposed charter for the ICANN Procedure For Handling WHOIS Conflicts with Privacy Law Implementation Advisory Group (WHOIS Procedure IAG) to the GNSO Council on 20 January 2018, and a later edited version on 23 January 2018. 10. The GNSO Council has reviewed and discussed the <https://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/draft-icann-procedure-whois-conflicts-iag-…> proposed charter. Resolved, 1.The GNSO Council adopts the <https://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/draft-icann-procedure-whois-conflicts-iag-…> proposed charter for the ICANN Procedure For Handling WHOIS Conflicts with Privacy Law Implementation Advisory Group (WHOIS Procedure IAG). 2. The GNSO Council appoints Keith Drazek as the GNSO Council Liaison to the Implementation Advisory Group. Until such time the IAG has appointed a Chair, the GNSO Council Liaison will serve as the interim Chair. 3. The GNSO Council request staff to circulate the call for volunteers on or after June 1, 2018 to the GNSO Stakeholder Groups with the request for each Stakeholder Group to appoint up to 3 members to the IAG. Further, staff are requested to circulate through the normal communication channels a call to the wider ICANN community for volunteers for interested participants and observers to join the IAG. 4.The GNSO Council thanks the drafting team for its efforts. vote results <https://gnso.icann.org/en/meetings/gnso-council-motion-recorder-22feb18-en.…> 20180222-2 Nomination of GNSO Replacement Candidate for Second Security, Stability, and Resiliency of the DNS (SSR2) Review Team Submitted by Susan Kawaguchi Seconded by Rafik Dammak WHEREAS, 1. On 19 January 2017, the GNSO Council nominated (see https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions#201701) the following candidates to serve on the SSR2-RT (in alphabetical order): James Gannon, Denise Michel, and Emily Taylor as its primary three candidates for the SSR2-RT, noting that these candidates under the new ICANN Bylaws are entitled to be selected. Furthermore, the GNSO nominated (in alphabetical order): Howard Eland, Scott McCormick, Rao Naveed bin Rais, and Norm Ritchie to be considered for inclusion in the SSR2-RT by the SO-AC Chairs should additional places be available. 2. On 14 February 2017, ICANN announced the selection of the 16-member team (see https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2-2017-02-14-en) which included the three primary candidates nominated by the GNSO Council. 3. Following the resignation of Emily Taylor on 16 July 2017 (see http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/ssr2-review/2017-July/000468.html) the GNSO Council tasked the GNSO Standing Selection Committee (SSC) with recommending a candidate for this vacancy. The SSC recommended Norm Ritchie, who was subsequently nominated by the GNSO Council on 24 August 2017 (see https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions#201708) 4. On 8 December 2017, James Gannon submitted his resignation to the SSR2-RT (see: http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/ssr2-review/2017-December/000920.html) 5. The GNSO Council asked the SSC to consider an analysis of the skills that existing SSR2-RT members possess (see https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/79433986/SSR2%20Skills%20M… <https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/79433986/SSR2%20Skills%20M…> &modificationDate=1518099841494&api=v2) in order to identify if one of the candidates might have specific skills that are currently underrepresented in the Review Team. The GNSO Council further tasked the GNSO Standing Selection Committee (SSC) with recommending a replacement candidate, taking into account the analysis of existing and needed skills on the Review Team, the criteria outlined in the call for volunteers, as well as the desire to ensure a RT that is balanced for diversity and expertise (https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-3-2016-06-30-en) 6. Out of the three candidates that were nominated in the initial selection process for consideration, beyond those that were entitled to be selected, the following two expressed that they were still interested in serving on the SSR2-RT: Scott McCormick and Rao Naveed bin Rais. 7. The SSC submitted its recommendation to the GNSO Council on 12 February 2018. 8. The GNSO Council considered the recommendation of the SSC. Resolved, 1. The GNSO Council nominates Rao Naveed bin Rais to replace James Gannon on the SSR2-RT. 2. The GNSO Council instructs the GNSO Secretariat to communicate resolved #1 to the staff supporting the SSR2-RT as soon as possible. 3. The GNSO Council instructs the GNSO Secretariat to inform the selected applicant that he has been chosen and that the GNSO Council expects that the applicant will represent the views of the entire GNSO community in his work on the SSR2-RT, and provide regular feedback as a group on the discussions taking place in the SSR2-RT, as well as the positions being taken by GNSO Review Team Members. 4. The GNSO Council asks the GNSO Secretariat to send a response to the applicant who was not selected, thanking him for his continued interest. The response should also encourage him to follow the SSR2-RT work, and participate in Public Comments and community discussions. 5. If the Council is in a position to nominate an additional candidate for the SSR2-RT in the future, the Council will consider Scott McCormick as a first choice for this position, following the SSC’s recommendation that he is also a strong and qualified candidate. vote results <https://gnso.icann.org/en/meetings/gnso-council-motion-recorder-22feb18-en.…> Thank you, Terri

FW: Notice to GNSO Council - Public Comment on Community gTLD Change Requests
by Marika Konings Feb. 22, 2018

Feb. 22, 2018

Forwarding on behalf of Russ Weinstein ---- Dear Heather and GNSO Councilors, I wanted to follow up on an item the GDD discussed with the GNSO Council at the ICANN60 meeting, a draft procedure for Community gTLD Change Requests. Based on the guidance<https://gnso.icann.org/en/meetings/minutes-council-1-01nov17-en.pdf> from the Council, ICANN org has collaborated with the Community gTLD working group to develop an draft procedure for ICANN to consider changes to a community gTLD operator’s community registration policies, Specification 12 of their registry agreement. On 14 February 2018, ICANN opened a Public Comment period<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/community-gtld-change-procedure-2018-…> on the Draft Procedure for Community gTLD Change Requests. The proposed draft procedure published in the Public Comment proceeding is the outcome of collaboration and coordination between the working group and the ICANN org over the past few months. These efforts resulted in alignment on the published version of the draft procedure. The proposed procedure provides requirements and criteria for ICANN to consider proposed changes to a community gTLD registry operator’s Specification 12 (Community Registration policies) of the registry agreement. Currently, ICANN has not been approving changes to Specification 12 due to some ambiguity between policy and implementation related to this topic. Please see the rationale included in Section I of the Public Comment proceeding for further information. After the Public Comment closes, the ICANN org and the working group plan to submit the summary and analysis of comments to the GNSO Council. We expect to include a cover note indicating whether or not any policy issues were identified in the public comment forum to ensure it does not raise policy issues before moving toward implementation of a procedure. If the Council advises differently, we’d appreciate input as soon as possible in order to prepare the appropriate work. Here’s the announcement: https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2-2018-02-14-en. The Public Comment period is now open at https://www.icann.org/public-comments/community-gtld-change-procedure-2018-…. Thanks, Russ Weinstein Director, Registry Services & Engagement ICANN

FW: [Ext] FW: Revised GNSO Liaison to WGs role description
by Marika Konings Feb. 21, 2018

Feb. 21, 2018

Dear All, Please find below some suggested additions to the GNSO Liaison to WGs role description from Jeff Neuman. Are there any concerns about adding these provisions to the document? Best regards, Marika From: Jeff Neuman <jeff.neuman(a)comlaude.com> Date: Tuesday, February 20, 2018 at 09:23 To: Heather Forrest <haforrestesq(a)gmail.com>, Marika Konings <marika.konings(a)icann.org>, 'Rafik Dammak' <rafik.dammak(a)gmail.com>, Donna Austin <Donna.Austin(a)team.neustar>, Steve Chan <steve.chan(a)icann.org> Subject: [Ext] FW: Revised GNSO Liaison to WGs role description For what it is worth, I have looked at this document and although it does so good things for its relationship with the GNSO Council, the way it is written it is very one sided towards Council. There should be more provisions in here about the GNSO Liaison working with the Working Group Leadership. For example, it could/should include: * The GNSO Council liaison is responsible for ensuring that the WG Chair(s) are informed about activities of the GNSO Council that have an impact on the Working Group. This includes not only actions taken with respect to substance related to the Working Group, but also any actions taken on matters upon which the Work Group depends or on which the Council depends on the Working Group. * The GNSO Council Liaison should participate in regular meetings with the WG Leadership and consult with WG Leadership prior to providing updates or reports to the GNSO Council. * The GNSO Council Liaison should be the person upon whom the Working Group relies to convey any communications, questions or concerns to the GNSO Council. Those are just a few thoughts from the top of my head based on my observations and having served previously as a liaison to PDPs as well as on the Council. Feel free to forward to the Council list if you want. Jeffrey J.
