Item 4: COUNCIL VOTE – In Memory of Stéphane Van Gelder (10 minutes) In March of 2018, the Council was informed of Stéphane Van Gelder’s passing. Stéphane entered the domain name business in the late 1990s. He served on the GNSO Council from 2008 through 2012, serving as Vice-Chair in 2010, and Chair in 2011and 2012. Stéphane had a number of notable achievements while presiding as Council Chair, including the completion of an extensive update to the GNSO’s operating procedures, establishment of the DNS Security & Stability Analysis working group jointly with the ALAC, ccNSO, and NRO, completion of the Applicant Guidebook for the 2012 New gTLD Program, and several other important projects. Perhaps most importantly, Stéphane was well-respected and liked for his passion, fairness, his ability to find the best in people, and his true gift for uniting people. Stéphane’s passing is a great loss for many in the ICANN Community that had the pleasure to work and interact with him. Here, the Council wishes to recognize the significant contributions Stéphane made to the GNSO Council during his tenure, the wonderful traits he brought to this world, and how much he will be missed. As well, on behalf of the current and previous GNSO Councils, we offer our deepest and heartfelt sympathies to his family and friends at this most difficult time. 4.1 – Presentation of motion (Rafik Dammak) 4.2 – Council discussion 4.3 – Council vote (voting threshold: simple majority) Item 5: UPDATE – CCWG-Accountability-WS2 status of work and expected timeline for delivery of Final Report (15 minutes) The Co-Chairs of the CCWG-Accountability-WS2 had indicated that the group would not complete its work in FY17 as originally planned. On 18 May 2017 via its Consent Agenda, the GNSO Council validated an extension of the mandate and funding for the CCWG-Accountability-WS2 in FY18. Here the Council will receive an update from the GNSO appointed co-chair to the CCWG-Accountability on the status of work and expected timeline for delivery of the Final Report. 5.1 – Update (Thomas Rickert, CCWG co-chair) - (CCWG-Accountability-WS2-ThomasRickert.pptx) 5.2 – Council discussion 5.3 – Next steps Item 6: UPDATE – IGO-INGO Access to Curative Rights Protection Mechanisms (10 minutes) The IGO-INGO Access to Curative Rights Protection Mechanisms PDP WG had been working to resolve a final recommendation relating to IGO jurisdictional immunity and registrants’ rights to file court proceedings. During the course of trying to determine consensus on a set of options for this final recommendation, several WG members challenged the proposed method for determining initial consensus and appealed via section 3.7 of the GNSO Working Group Guidelines. Following discussions with the members utilizing the appeal process and the GNSO chair and the Council liaison to the WG, the Council liaison to the WG solicited input from the WG members on the set of options under consideration. On 19 April 2018, the Council liaison to the WG led a WG call and provided an update on the input received from WG members, as well as discussed next steps. Here, the Council liaison to the WG will update the Council on the status of the WG. 6.1 – Update (Heather Forrest, Council Chair and Susan Kawaguchi, Council liaison to the WG) 6.2 – Council discussion 6.3 – Next steps Item 7: UPDATE – ICANN Board Temporary Policy Proposal (15 minutes) On 23 March, the Council received correspondence from the ICANN Board, suggesting that the ICANN Board meet with Council leadership and leadership of the RDS PDP WG to discuss the potential impact on the WG from the finalization of an interim model for compliance with GDPR. On 11 April 2018, members of the ICANN Board, Council leadership, and leadership of the RDS PDP WG met to discuss possible impacts of GDPR on GNSO policy. Council leadership has prepared a briefing note from this meeting and the recording has also been made available. ( http s://mytrials.webex.com/mytrials/ldr.php?RCID=0d1a8602495492f964dcf5d018d05c…, password Eur3wiEK.) Here, the Council will receive an update on the current status and discuss next steps. 7.1 – Update (Council Leadership) 7.2 – Council discussion 7.3 – Next steps Item 8: COUNCIL DISCUSSION – Discussion of Updates to the Consensus Policy Implementation Framework (CPIF) (10 minutes) On 24 June 2015, the Council adopted the outputs of the non-PDP Policy and Implementation WG, which included the Consensus Policy Implementation Framework (CPIF). The CPIF provides guidance to ICANN Org and the community for implementing policy and has been in use since its adoption by the GNSO Council. As noted in Point H of the CPIF, which directs “ICANN staff [to] continually review the implementation framework and related materials to encapsulate additional best-practices or to adjust the steps as a result of lessons learned with previous Consensus Policy projects,” a cross-functional group of representatives from ICANN’s GDD and GNSO Policy Development Support teams have reviewed the Framework, and are proposing a number of amendments to it for the consideration of the GNSO Council. On 5 March 2018, a redlined CPIF document and a document detailing a set of guidelines for ICANN Org to follow when considering engagement in a GNSO PDP were circulated on the Council email list. Here, the Council will consider the proposed changes and additional document developed by ICANN’s GDD and discuss next steps. 8.1 – Presentation of topic (Brian Aitchison & Karen Lentz) 8.2 – Council discussion 8.3 – Next steps Item 9: COUNCIL DISCUSSION – Review of the Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy (IRTP) (10 minutes) A recommendation from the 2014 Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy (“IRTP”) Part D PDP Working Group’s Final Report recommended that the GNSO Council, in conjunction with ICANN Org, “convene a panel to collect, discuss, and analyze relevant data to determine whether [the policy updates resulting from the IRTP WGs] have improved the IRTP process and dispute mechanisms, and identify possible remaining shortcomings.” This review was recommended to take place 12 months after the IRTP Part D recommendations were implemented. On 28 February 2018, ICANN Org sent a letter to the GNSO Council, noting that the updated IRTP went into effect on 1 December 2016 and therefore, the policy was in place for over 12 months. ICANN Org suggested that a Post-Implementation IRTP Status Report be generated, offering a framework for that report. The ICANN Org envisions that the report, if and when drafted, would be published for public comment. The report and a summary of public comment would be provided to the GNSO Council, for it to determine next steps. If the Council agreed with the approach outlined in the letter, ICANN Org had suggested delivery of the report by 1 May 2018. On 14 March 2018, Council received an update from the ICANN Org and had subsequent discussion on its email list. The Council has not yet agreed whether it believes the ICANN Org should undertake the post implementation analysis on IRTP. Here, the Council will continue to consider the proposal and discuss immediate next steps. 9.1 – Presentation of topic (Caitlin Tubergen) 9.2 – Council discussion 9.3 – Next steps Item 10: UPDATE – Privacy and Proxy Services Accreditation Issues (PPSAI) Implementation Review Team (IRT) (10 minutes) On 21 January 2016, the GNSO Council adopted the Final Report of the Privacy and Proxy Services Accreditation Issues (PPSAI) PDP and requested that an Implementation Review Team (IRT) be established upon ICANN Board adoption of the PDP recommendations. On 9 August 2016, the ICANN Board adopted the PDP WG’s Final recommendations. On 30 November 2017, the GNSO Council resolved that, “The GNSO Council directs the PPSAI IRT to consider the issue of privacy/proxy registrations and IRTP Part C as outlined in the annex to the GNSO Council letter…” The Council also resolved that this work should take place after the PPSAI IRT comment period. The PPSAI IRT is scheduled to publish its implementation plan for public comment in late April or early May of 2018. There is some concern amongst IRT members that some elements of that implementation plan have strayed into policy work. Here, the Council liaison to the WG will provide an update on the status of the IRT. 10.1 – Update (Darcy Southwell, Council liaison to the IRT) 10.2 – Council discussion 10.3 – Next steps Item 11: UPDATE – Joint Timeline of the All Rights Protection Mechanisms in All gTLDs and New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP WGs (10 minutes) The Review of All Rights Protection Mechanisms in All gTLDs PDP WG is the midst of its Phase 1 review of Rights Protection Mechanisms (RPMs), focused on those related to the New gTLD Program and the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP WG is working towards publishing its Initial Report. The Council has recently discussed the joint timeline of the two PDP WGs and the extent to which there are dependencies between the two PDP WGs. Concerns have been raised by Councilors and other community members about the proposed timelines of the two PDP WGs. Here, the Council will receive an update on the current status and discuss next steps. 11.1 – Update (Paul McGrady, Donna Austin, and Keith Drazek, Council liaisons to the WGs) 11.2 – Council discussion 11.3 – Next steps Item 12: ANY OTHER BUSINESS (5 minutes) 12.1 – Update on scheduling for ICANN62 (https://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/icann62-draft-gnso-schedule-26apr18-en.pdf) ________________________________ Appendix 1: GNSO Council Voting Thresholds (ICANN Bylaws, Article 11, Section 11.3(i)) See https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#article11.

Dear all, ICANN62 prep is the AOB item on the GNSO Council meeting’s agenda for the call later. Please see attached the GNSO draft schedule for ICANN62 which has been updated with several Cross-Community topics and their assigned slots for your review. Discussions will be held shortly to allocate the remaining slots to the CC topics community SO/AC leaders agree on. Please remember that this is a working document where PDP leads as well as SGs and Cs collaborate, and that until the Cross-Community sessions are set in stone, the schedule is still likely to change.

Fwd: [So-ac-sg-cleaders] The Information Transparency Initiative (ITI) Feedback Site is Now Live - ICANN - Blog by David Conrad
by Heather Forrest April 25, 2018

April 25, 2018

Dear Council colleagues, I am pleased to pass on David Olive's update, below, on the Information Transparency Initiative. Best wishes, Heather ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "David Olive" <david.olive(a)icann.org> Date: 24/04/2018 10:37 AM Subject: [So-ac-sg-cleaders] The Information Transparency Initiative (ITI) Feedback Site is Now Live - ICANN - Blog by David Conrad To: "so-ac-sg-cleaders(a)icann.org" <so-ac-sg-cleaders(a)icann.org> Cc: "David Conrad" <david.conrad(a)icann.org>, "Jana Juginovic" < jana.juginovic(a)icann.org> https://www.icann.org/news/blog/the-information-transparency -initiative-iti-feedback-site-is-now-live *The Information Transparency Initiative (ITI) Feedback Site is Now Live* I'm pleased to announce that today, we launched the ITI feedback site <https://www.icann.org/itifeedback> (feedback.icann.org) As I have written about in previous blogs and discussed at ICANN60 and ICANN61 sessions, this site <https://www.icann.org/itifeedback> is intended to provide you, the ICANN community, with the ability to share your input on the content and features the ITI team is working on to improve the findability, transparency, and accessibility of ICANN public content. The first item we are looking for your comments on is an updated Acronyms and Terms feature <https://www.icann.org/itifeedback> to replace the existing feature <https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/glossary-2014-02-03-en>. Our update doubles the number of terms available, provides up-to-date definitions for the terms, and improves search. Unlike most of the ITI project, we will launch this updated feature on the current https://icann.org <https://www.icann.org/> before 31 May 2018. The deadline to provide your input on the proposed updates to Acronyms and Terms is *30 April 2018, 23:59 UTC.* Please visit feedback.icann.org <https://www.icann.org/itifeedback> to experience the proposed changes and complete a short survey. *How the ITI Feedback Site Works* The ITI Team will regularly post documents, mockups, or video walkthroughs of new content and features. The proposed content or feature items are listed on the homepage under the heading "Feedback Needed." Each item lists a deadline by which you need to provide input. Simply click on the item you're interested in. This will take you to another page, which provides you with the option to either download a mockup or watch a video walkthrough. Once you have completed that task, click on the "Feedback" button to complete a short survey or email your feedback to informationtransparency(a)icann.org. Once the deadline has passed, the ITI Team will collect and publish all comments to feedback.icann.org <https://www.icann.org/itifeedback>. All published results of the survey will be anonymous, unless otherwise requested by the submitter. We will review all submissions and make our best efforts to implement the feedback, prioritizing input that serves the goals of improving search and accessibility, and increasing the transparency of our content. *Feedback Deadlines* We do have a tight deadline for community comments – one week for each new item. The reason for this timeline is we need to maintain a rigorous development schedule to ensure we are delivering the project on time and within budget. However, feedback.icann.org <https://www.icann.org/itifeedback> is not your only avenue to share input. ITI has many other opportunities to learn about ITI and provide comments including: - Regular sessions at ICANN Public Meetings. - Special sessions or webinars for Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees (SO/ACs) on request or for special features and content like Public Comment. - Monthly blogs and newsletters. - Via email at informationtransparency(a)icann.org *Feedback Translations* As I outlined above, we are working at a brisk development pace. This does limit our ability to fully translate feedback.icann.org <https://www.icann.org/itifeedback> and its survey. But, if you want to share feedback in another language, email us at informationtransparency(a)icann.org. It is important to emphasize that one of the primary goals of ITI is a multilingual https://icann.org <https://www.icann.org/>, and the sooner we complete this project, the sooner we can deliver on that goal. *ITI Goals* ITI's goal is not a revamp of https://icann.org <https://www.icann.org/>. While the ITI team is working on making improvements to your User Experience (UX) on https://icann.org <https://www.icann.org/>, the vast majority of our efforts are focused on: - Creating content governance through new, enforced workflows and the creation of a consistent, multilingual taxonomy. - Building new technical infrastructures including a first-ever for ICANN document management system (DMS) and a new content management system (CMS). This new infrastructure will enforce this governance and enable improved content findability. Much of this foundational work won't be available on the feedback site for your input, but we will show the intended benefits of this work through the content and features we will share. *ITI Update* The ITI team has been hard at work completing that foundational work I mentioned above. We have completed the following tasks since the January 2018 launch of ITI: - The foundational build of the DMS and CMS, and the integration between the two platforms. - Sixty percent of the content audit and the taxonomy creation. - Interviews with SO/AC leaders, registrants, registrars, Fellows, and other ICANN stakeholders. We have also begun work on the following items: - Content modelling, workflow creation, and content governance enforcement in the DMS. - Accessibility guidelines and multilingual site implementation planning. *ITI will launch in December 2019.* *ITI Backgrounders* For those of you unfamiliar with ITI, you can read about what it is and how it will benefit the ICANN community in my kickoff blog <https://www.icann.org/news/blog/creating-content-governance-and-rebuilding-…> . You can learn more about how the content audit and taxonomy will help your search experience in my January blog <https://www.icann.org/news/blog/an-information-transparency-initiative-upda…> . We also outlined the differences between ITI and the Open Data Initiative (ODI) in our pre-ICANN61 blog <https://www.icann.org/news/blog/the-information-transparency-initiative-iti…> . *We Need Your Feedback* Remember, we need your input to help us make the specific improvements to search, transparency, and accessibility that you need and want. Please visit the ITI feedback site <https://www.icann.org/itifeedback> and email us anytime at informationtransparency(a)icann.org. *Comments* Log in to Comment <https://www.icann.org/users/sign_in> or Sign Up <https://www.icann.org/users/sign_up> *Details* - ICANN Blog - Author: David Conrad, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and Senior Vice-President - 23 Apr 2018 David A.

Dear Council colleagues In follow up to Heather’s previous note of 11 April 2018, please find attached a briefing that provides more information about the call between the Board, Council leadership and the RDS PDP WG leadership team. In addition, the briefing also discusses possible next steps and to that end we are seeking Council consideration of a number of options that have been proposed. We ask that you all take some time to review the briefing and encourage you to provide your thoughts on the list. We also note that this will be a discussion item for our Council meeting scheduled for 26 April 2018. Thanks Heather, Rafik and Donna From: council [mailto:council-bounces@gnso.icann.org] On Behalf Of Heather Forrest Sent: Wednesday, April 11, 2018 4:51 AM To: GNSO Council List <council(a)gnso.icann.org> Cc: RDS-Leaders-List <gnso-next-gen-rds-lead(a)icann.org>; Chuck <consult(a)cgomes.com> Subject: [EXTERNAL] [council] Update on RDS/GDPR discussions with Board members Dear Council colleagues, On behalf of Council leadership and the RDS PDP leadership team, I'm happy to provide a brief update, with more to follow soon. Today we (Chuck Gomes, Marc Anderson, Michele Neylon and David Cake from RDS PDP leadership and Donna, Rafik and I from Council leadership) attended a call with Cherine Chalaby, Goran Marby, Chris Disspain, Becky Burr, Matthew Shears, and Avri Doria, as envisaged in Cherine's letter of 23 March (https://www.icann.org/resources/correspondence/1214411-2018-03-23-en<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_resource…>) to discuss possible impacts of GDPR on GNSO policy. Our intention was to get a sense of what is on the Board's mind in this initial call and report this back so the community can decide who and how best to move forward on next steps. We are working on a briefing note on this morning's discussions, with a view to posting that to the Council list later this week along with the recording of the call. Among us on the two leadership teams we cover many time zones, so please bear with us as we manage the logistics of cooperating across these to get the briefing note to the list as quickly as possible.

SCBO Proposed Comment on Reserve Fund Replenishment
by Ayden Férdeline April 24, 2018

April 24, 2018

Dear all, On behalf of the Standing Committee on ICANN Budget and Operations (SCBO), please find attached a statement that we have prepared in relation to ICANN's proposed Reserve Fund replenishment strategy. We are seeking to submit this comment on behalf of the Council on 25 April, absent any objections from a member of the Council. Could you please evaluate the attached document and advise if you have any questions, concerns, or requested edits? Thank you. Please note, there is currently one unresolved comment in the document, being the desired replenishment timeframe. The current proposal is for "five or less years" (which was the language suggested by ICANN org), however a representative of the Business Constituency within the SCBO has asked that this be changed to "three to five years." We would like to defer to the Council to determine which language is most appropriate. Thank you. Best wishes, Ayden Férdeline

FW: Your input requested - Post-Implementation Consensus Policy Review Framework
by Marika Konings April 24, 2018

April 24, 2018

Dear All, Please find below a message from Brian Aitchison providing an update on the status of the Post-Implementation Consensus Policy Review Framework (PICPRF). Best regards, Marika __________________ Dear Councilors, As part of our work to update the Consensus Policy Implementation Framework (CPIF), representatives from ICANN org’s Global Domains Division and Policy Team have drafted the attached "process flow" for carrying out reviews of implemented Consensus Policies (the Post-Implementation Consensus Policy Review Framework – PICPRF). The attached proposed process flow contains a link to a supplemental survey to gather additional input on the topic and especially the questions identified in the process flow from the GNSO community. We’re proposing this process as part of our effort to further develop the “Support and Review” stage of the CPIF. Prior to responding to the survey (see https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/postimplreview) please review the attached process flow. As a review of the CPIF is a topic of discussion for your meeting on 26 April 2018 (note that a number of updates have been proposed to the CPIF that are independent of this effort – see https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2018-March/020976.html for further details), we would be happy to answer any questions you may have about the PICPRF process flow and/or survey as part of the same agenda item. We would like to encourage you to share the proposed process flow and survey with your respective groups. Responses to the survey are expected to be received by 18 May at the latest so we would be in a position to provide you with an update during your next meeting on 24 May 2018. Thank you very much for your consideration of these materials. We look forward to discussing them further with the GNSO Council.
