May 25, 2018

Dear all, Please find below the resolutions from the GNSO Council at its meeting on Thursday, 24 May 2018. They will be posted shortly on the GNSO website here: https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions[gnso.icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__gnso.icann.org_en_coun…> Thank you, Nathalie Consent Agenda Approval of the appointment of Brian Beckham as an additional co-chair for the Review of All Rights Protection Mechanisms in All gTLDs Policy Development Process Working Group, to join current co-chairs Phil Corwin and Kathy Kleiman, along with Council liaison Paul McGrady. Vote results [gnso.icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__gnso.icann.org_sites_d…> Adoption of Revised Charter for the GNSO Standing Selection Committee Following the SSC Charter Review Requested by the GNSO Council - deferred from Council meeting in April 2018 Submitted by: Rafik Dammak Seconded by: Heather Forrest WHEREAS, 1. 1. On 15 March 2017, the GNSO Council adopted on an interim basis a Charter for the GNSO Standing Selection Committee, which is tasked to “1) where applicable, prepare and issue calls for applications related to the selection or nomination of candidates for ICANN structures such as ICANN review teams as well as structures related to the Empowered Community, 2) review and evaluate all relevant applicants/candidates, 3) rank candidates and make selection/appointment recommendations for review and approval by Council and 4) communicate selections to all interested parties.” 2. 3. 2.The resolution adopting the Charter on an interim basis states, “Following the completion of two selection processes, the GNSO Council requests the SSC to report back to the GNSO Council with its assessment of whether the charter provides sufficient guidance and flexibility to carry out its work, and/or whether any modifications should be considered. Acknowledging that this is a work in progress, the GNSO Council will review this assessment as well as whether any modifications should be considered, as well as any inconsistencies that may need to be addressed as a result of the finalization of the work of the Bylaws Drafting Team.” 4. 5. 3. Whereas, the SSC has successfully completed selections for the following: GNSO Representative on the Empowered Community Administration, replacement candidate for the Second Security and Stability Review Team (SSR2-RT) in 2017, candidates for the Third Review of ICANN Accountability and Transparency (ATRT3), GNSO Liaison to the GAC, and replacement candidate for the Second Security and Stability Review Team (SSR2-RT) in 2018. 6. 7. 4. The SSC has completed a review of its Charter (see working document here [docs.google.com]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__docs.google.com_docume…>) and proposed revisions to the Charter. 8. 9. 5. The GNSO Council has reviewed these proposed changes and agreed that these revisions are appropriate, noting that the revised Charter [gnso.icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__gnso.icann.org_sites_d…> states that the GNSO Council may initiate future Charter reviews at the request of the SSC or at the Council’s own discretion. RESOLVED, 1. 1. The GNSO Council adopts the revised Charter [gnso.icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__gnso.icann.org_sites_d…> of the SSC. 2. 3. 2. The GNSO Council reconfirms Susan Kawaguchi as Chair and Maxim Alzoba as Vice-Chair of the SSC. 4. 5. 3. The GNSO Council notes that the term of an SSC member, as defined in the revised Charter, is one year beginning and ending at the Annual General Meeting, with the possibility to renew for a second term. The GNSO Council considers the period between the adoption of the interim Charter on 15 March 2017 to the 2017 Annual General meeting to be a “ramp up” period for the SSC, with the first term of SSC members beginning at the 2017 Annual General Meeting. 6. 7. 4. The GNSO Council requests that the SO/AC Support Team sends the updated Charter to the Stakeholder Groups/Constituencies and Nominating Committee appointees on the GNSO Council and reminds SG/Cs/NomCom appointees that they should reconfirm their SSC representatives within three weeks following the 2018 Annual General Meeting. 8. 9. 5. The GNSO Council leadership team will confirm at its earliest convenience whether the GNSO Chair or one of the GNSO Council Vice-Chairs will serve as an ex-officio member of the SSC. 6.The GNSO Council thanks the SSC for its review of the Charter and looks forward to continuing to work with the SSC on future selection processes. Vote results [gnso.icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__gnso.icann.org_sites_d…> Thank you, Nathalie

Item 4: COUNCIL VOTE – Adoption of Revised Charter for the GNSO Standing Selection Committee (10 minutes) On 15 March 2017, the GNSO Council adopted<https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions#201703> the Charter for the GNSO Standing Selection Committee (SSC) on an interim basis. After at least two selection processes, the SSC was expected to consider whether the interim charter provides sufficient guidance, flexibility, and is otherwise fit for purpose, or whether modifications are needed. In the meantime, the SSC has successfully completed selections for the following: GNSO Representative on the Empowered Community Administration; replacement candidate for the Second Security and Stability Review Team (SSR2-RT) in 2017; candidates for the Third Review of ICANN Accountability and Transparency (ATRT3); GNSO Liaison to the GAC, and; replacement candidate for the Second Security and Stability Review Team (SSR2-RT) in 2018. Following the completion of these selection processes, the SSC has reviewed its interim Charter and is proposing revisions for the Council’s consideration. Here, the Council will consider whether the proposed revisions are appropriate and whether to adopt the proposed charter<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/standing-…>, as well as reconfirm Susan Kawaguchi as Chair and Maxim Alzoba as Vice-Chair. 4.1 – Presentation of motion <https://community.icann.org/x/txQFBQ> (Rafik Dammak) 4.2 – Council discussion 4.3 – Council vote (voting threshold: simple majority) Item 5: 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<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/annex-1-g…>. 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. On 10 May 2018, the WG met to discuss next steps, which include working on the draft Final Report<https://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/igo-ingo-crp-access-09may18-en.pdf> and opening up the formal consensus call. Here, the Council liaison to the WG will update the Council on the status of the WG. 5.1 – Update (Susan Kawaguchi, Council liaison to the WG) 5.2 – Council discussion 5.3 – Next steps Item 6: UPDATE – Review of the Customer Standing Committee (CSC) Charter (10 minutes) The Customer Standing Committee (CSC) Charter review team (RT) is seeking comment and input on its findings and proposed amendments to the CSC Charter, as included in the RT's Initial Report. According to the ICANN Bylaws (Section 17.3 (c)) and reflected in the CSC Charter, the ccNSO and RySG are required to review the CSC Charter one year after the first meeting of the CSC to consider whether the Charter is adequate and provides a sound basis for the CSC to perform their responsibilities as envisioned in the development of the IANA Transition Proposal. Taking into account comments received, the Review Team will then prepare a Final Report for consideration and adoption by the ccNSO and GNSO Councils. The Amended Charter will become effective following the adoption of the Final report. On 11 May 2018, Council member volunteers were sought to develop a draft comment for Council consideration for public comment<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/csc-charter-rt-initial-2018-04-11-en> on the Initial Report on Review of the CSC Charter. The deadline for comments is 1 June. Here, the Council will receive an update on the progress of draft comment. 6.1 – Update (Rafik Dammak) 6.2 – Council discussion 6.3 – Next steps Item 7: COUNCIL DISCUSSION – Short-Term and Long-Term Options to Adjust the Timeline for Specific Reviews (10 Minutes) On 14 May 2018, ICANN published short-term<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/specific-reviews-short-term-timeline-…> and long-term options<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/reviews-long-term-timeline-2018-05-14…> to adjust the timeline for the Specific Reviews as required by the ICANN Bylaws. These proposed options seek to alleviate the workload on the community and ICANN resources. The two reviews for consideration for short-term options are the third Accountability and Transparency Review (ATRT3) and the second Registration Directory Service Review (RDS-WHOIS2). For the long-term options the options put forward offer various ways to address the mandates from the Bylaws that have resulted in multiple simultaneous reviews. The options also address the inability to modify the mandated review cycles in order to address unforeseen developments. Here, the Council will discuss whether it will seek to respond to the public comment<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/specific-reviews-short-term-timeline-…> opportunity and if so, next steps for doing so by the 6 July (short term options) and 20 July 2018 (long term options) close date respectively. 7.1 – Update (Council Leadership) 7.2 – Council discussion 7.3 – Next steps Item 8: COUNCIL DISCUSSION – Next steps following adoption of ICANN Board Temporary Specification (50 minutes) On 11 May 2018, ICANN released the Temporary Specification<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/proposed-gtld-registration-data…> on gTLD Registration Data, which served as the main agenda topic for the subsequent Board Workshop in Vancouver. This proposed Temporary Specification provides an interim solution until the community completes a policy development process on the temporary specification which is expected to complete within a one year period. On 14 May 2018, ICANN released a revised Temporary Specification<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/proposed-gtld-registration-data…> and scheduled a webinar on 15 May 2018 to discuss the topic. The Board passed a resolution<https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2018-05-13-en>, noting their intent to adopt the Temporary Specification on or around 17 May 2018. On 21 May, the Council and SG/C chairs met to discuss possible next steps in preparation for the adoption of a temporary specification by the ICANN Board in relation to the interim model for GDPR Compliance<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/adoption-…>. Here, the Council will discuss and plan for its next steps to begin work on the policy development process related to the Temporary Specification. 8.1 – Update (Council Leadership) 8.2 – Council discussion 8.3 – Next steps Item 9: ANY OTHER BUSINESS (10 minutes) 9.1 – Update on scheduling for ICANN62<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/icann62-d…> 9.2 – Update on the ICANN FY19 ICANN Operating Plan and Budget ________________________________ 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.
