GNSO Council Action Item - WHOIS conflicts
by Heather Forrest June 5, 2018

June 5, 2018

Dear Council colleagues, In reviewing the Action Items at the start of our May Council meeting the outstanding action item on the "Drafting Team on charter related to the next steps for the ICANN Procedure of Handling Whois conflicts with Privacy" was noted: - *ICANN Staff* to circulate a call for volunteers on or after 1 June 2018 to the GNSO Stakeholder Groups, with the request for each Stakeholder Group to appoint up to 3 members to the Implementation Advisory Group (IAG). The call for volunteers should also be more widely circulated to seek volunteers to serve as participants and observers to the IAG. We said we'd come back to this one on the list in light of the ongoing temporary specification next steps discussions. Would it be preferable to delay this call for volunteers until after we have progressed the next steps discussions further? Your thoughts much appreciated! Heather

Fwd: [ECAdmin] Secretary's Notice to Empowered Community of Board Approval of FY19 Operating Plan and Budget and Secretary's Notice to Empowered Community of Board Approval of Updates to Five Year Operating Plan 2019
by Heather Forrest June 2, 2018

June 2, 2018

Dear colleagues, Please note the announcement below regarding the 21-day Rejection Action Petition Period following the Board's approval of the FY19 budget. Best wishes, Heather ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Mary Wong <mary.wong(a)icann.org> Date: Sat, Jun 2, 2018 at 12:14 PM Subject: Re: [ECAdmin] Secretary's Notice to Empowered Community of Board Approval of FY19 Operating Plan and Budget and Secretary's Notice to Empowered Community of Board Approval of Updates to Five Year Operating Plan 2019 To: "ecadmin(a)icann.org" <ecadmin(a)icann.org> Dear Empowered Community Administration members, The delivery of notice of the Board’s approval of the FY19 Operating Plan and Budget (dated 1 June 2018) initiated the 21-day Rejection Action Petition Period under the ICANN Bylaws. For this action and purpose, this *Rejection Action Petition Period will end at* *11.59 p.m. US Pacific time on 22 June 2018 (or 06.59 UTC on 23 June 2018*). Should a rejection petition be submitted to a Decisional Participant within the petition period *and* should that Decisional Participant accept that petition (in accordance with its own internal rules and processes), this will trigger a further 7-day Rejection Action Petition Support Period (ending at 11.59 p.m. US Pacific time on 29 June 2018 (or 06.59 UTC on 30 June 2018), during which time that Decisional Participant will need to seek the support of at least one other Decisional Participant. If support for the petition is obtained from at least one other Decisional Participant and the requisite notice provided to the Empowered Community Administration (among others), the Bylaws provide that “ICANN shall, *at the direction of the EC Administration*, convene a forum at which the Decisional Participants and interested parties may discuss the Rejection Action Supported Petition”. This Community Forum must be conducted within a 21-day period beginning upon the expiration of the Rejection Action Petition Support Period – for present purposes, and assuming all of the above steps have been fulfilled, the requisite *Community Forum period will commence at 11.59 p.m. US Pacific time on 29 June 2018 (06.59 UTC on 30 June 2018) and end at 11.59 p.m. US Pacific time on 20 July 2018 (06.59 UTC, 21 July 2018).* Please note that Section 2.3(c) of Annex D of the Bylaws states that, “notwithstanding any statement in the Rejection Action Supported Petition, a Rejection Action Community Forum to discuss a Rejection Action Supported Petition relating to an ICANN Budget or IANA Budget may only be held at a scheduled ICANN public meeting if such Rejection Action Community Forum occurs during the Rejection Action Community Forum Period, without any extension of such Rejection Action Community Forum Period” - this means that, for the FY19 Operating Plan and Budget, any Community Forum that may need be scheduled will *not* take place face-to-face or at an ICANN meeting but will, instead, be *conducted via remote participation methods such as teleconference, web-based meeting room and/or such other form of remote participation as the EC Administration selects*” (Section 2.3(d), Annex D). Please see Annex D of the Bylaws for the full text describing all the various criteria and steps applicable to a Rejection Action process ( https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#annexD) including some specific criteria applicable to petitions to reject an ICANN budget. Please also do not hesitate to let me know if you or any of your community groups and members have questions about the process. Thanks and cheers Mary (for the staff team supporting the Empowered Community) *From: *ECAdmin <ecadmin-bounces(a)icann.org> on behalf of John Jeffrey < john.jeffrey(a)icann.org> *Date: *Saturday, June 2, 2018 at 05:47 *To: *"ecadmin(a)icann.org" <ecadmin(a)icann.org>, "chair(a)nro.net" < chair(a)nro.net>, Alan Greenberg <alan.greenberg(a)mcgill.ca>, "katrina(a)nic.lv" <katrina(a)nic.lv>, Heather Forrest <haforrestesq(a)gmail.com>, Manal Ismail < manal(a)tra.gov.eg> *Subject: *[ECAdmin] Secretary's Notice to Empowered Community of Board Approval of FY19 Operating Plan and Budget and Secretary's Notice to Empowered Community of Board Approval of Updates to Five Year Operating Plan 2019 Greetings, Attached please find the Secretary’s Notice of Board Approval of FY19 Operating Plan and Budget and Secretary’s Notice of Board Approval of Updates to Five Year Operating Plan 2019 sent on behalf of John Jeffrey.

Strategic Planning Session 2019
by Heather Forrest June 1, 2018

June 1, 2018

Dear Council colleagues, I write with some welcome good news, for the GNSO generally and next year's GNSO Council in particular. I have just received notice that our Additional Budget Request for holding a Strategic Planning Session in 2019 has been approved. You may recall that the request built in flexibility as to a 2 or 3 day schedule, in view of the FY19 budget and the 2018 SPS schedule (taking into account that the day we had on Bylaws review was a one-off). From our request, I understand that ICANN org has recommended that the Board approve a full 2-day face-to-face meeting of the Council, to be held separately from an ICANN Public Meeting. I also understand that the ABR process was highly competitive, with 55 applications received, and that most requests were scaled back to some degree. I personally believe we've done well here to get the 2 full days, and I'm confident that the next Council leadership team and Council can make good use of this to continue the professionalisation and learning process. We have too much on our collective plates right now to begin planning, but I would suggest that Rafik, Donna and I give some preliminary thought to the logistics as our term ends, to hand over to the 2018-19 Council when it is seated in Barcelona. Best wishes, Heather
