Dear Ayden and all, We apologize if there were difficulties with accessing the feedback tool – there ought not to be any, so please do try it again if you wish to provide feedback. Please be assured that ICANN organization is committed to and interested in gathering the community’s feedback on each of the features that we will be rolling out with the objective of improving the findability, transparency, and accessibility of ICANN public content. The deadlines are, unfortunately, what they are in order to ensure that we are able to deliver on this major project on budget and on time. There will certainly be multiple and additional opportunities and forums for continuing community feedback, as noted in David’s blog that is referenced in the announcement below. Thank you. Best regards, Mary From: council <council-bounces(a)gnso.icann.org> on behalf of Ayden Férdeline <icann(a)ferdeline.com> Reply-To: Ayden Férdeline <icann(a)ferdeline.com> Date: Wednesday, April 25, 2018 at 09:17 To: Heather Forrest <haforrestesq(a)gmail.com> Cc: GNSO Council List <council(a)gnso.icann.org> Subject: Re: [council] Fwd: [So-ac-sg-cleaders] The Information Transparency Initiative (ITI) Feedback Site is Now Live - ICANN - Blog by David Conrad Given comments are being sought for less than a week, this does not strike me as a genuine consultative activity but appears to be a token form of participation intended to manipulate public opinion. This new website implies a shift towards greater consultation and community participation in ICANN's content strategy, but we cannot actually wield any influence by commenting here. (And not just because if you press the 'provide feedback' button, you see "The feedback survey is temporarily unavailable.") From what I understand we are not even being asked to comment on anything important. The list of 250 definitions, which I would like to review for neutrality and accuracy, are not online and it sounds like they have already been approved internally and are not open to community review. Are we really being asked to comment on just the glossary tool itself, and did ICANN really produce a video mockup and slide deck of something so incredibly mundane when it is up for public comment for just a week? Please forgive the negative sentiment to my message here, but it really seems a poor allocation of resources to me.

As I have written about in previous blogs and discussed at ICANN60 and ICANN61 sessions, this site[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_itifeedb…> 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[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_itifeedb…> to replace the existing feature[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_resource…>. 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[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_&d=DwMGa…> 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[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_itifeedb…> 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<mailto:informationtransparency@icann.org>. Once the deadline has passed, the ITI Team will collect and publish all comments to feedback.icann.org[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_itifeedb…>. 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[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_itifeedb…> 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<mailto:informationtransparency@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[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_itifeedb…> and its survey. But, if you want to share feedback in another language, email us at informationtransparency(a)icann.org<mailto:informationtransparency@icann.org>. It is important to emphasize that one of the primary goals of ITI is a multilingual https://icann.org[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_&d=DwMGa…>, 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[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_&d=DwMGa…>. While the ITI team is working on making improvements to your User Experience (UX) on https://icann.org[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_&d=DwMGa…>, 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[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_news_blo…>. You can learn more about how the content audit and taxonomy will help your search experience in my January blog[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_news_blo…>. We also outlined the differences between ITI and the Open Data Initiative (ODI) in our pre-ICANN61 blog[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_news_blo…>. 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.

Re: [council] Consensus Policy Implementation Framework Updates - input by 31 July 2018
by Marika Konings 31 Aug '18

31 Aug '18

Reminder - please let staff know by COB today (31 July) if you have any concerns about the updated CPIF document. Best regards, Marika From: council <council-bounces(a)gnso.icann.org> on behalf of Marika Konings <marika.konings(a)icann.org> Date: Thursday, July 19, 2018 at 16:36 To: "council(a)gnso.icann.org" <council(a)gnso.icann.org> Cc: Brian Aitchison <brian.aitchison(a)icann.org>, Karen Lentz <karen.lentz(a)icann.org> Subject: [council] Consensus Policy Implementation Framework Updates - input by 31 July 2018 Dear All, As discussed during today’s meeting, please find attached the proposed changes to the Consensus Policy Implementation Framework (CPIF). As noted, As noted Point H of the CPIF 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 (see attached). As noted, these changes are intended to further clarify and detail some of the steps of the CPIF – these are not changes to any existing processes, procedures or the original Policy & Implementation WG recommendations. Donna referred to a slide deck that was used for the update that was provided for the April Council meeting but those slides (attached here) actually refer to another part of this effort that we are still looking for input on which is the Post-Implementation Consensus Policy Review Framework. With regards to the CPIF, please let staff know if you have any concerns about this updated version being posted by 31 July. We will try to identify another opportunity to further discussion the Post-Implementation Consensus Policy Review Framework (for those interested, a survey was opened a while back, but to date only one Council members has responded: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/postimplreview [surveymonkey.com]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.surveymonkey.com_r…>). I’ve also copied Brian and Karen from GDD who should be able to answer any further questions you may have. Best regards, Marika

RPM Working Group status report on its Council-approved data collection exercise
by Mary Wong 15 Aug '18

15 Aug '18

Dear Councilors, Please find attached the first report from the RPM Review PDP Working Group, summarizing where things stand with the extensive data collection effort that the Council approved in September 2017, for the Sunrise and Trademark Claims RPMs. You may recall that the Council’s approval also expressly requested monthly reports beginning in January 2018. As the Request for Proposal was issued at the end of January, with interested potential vendors beginning to engage in February, the report consolidates the January and February activities. It also includes the full RFP timeline. Please let staff or the current Working Group chairs (Kathy Kleiman and Phil Corwin, cc’d on this email) know if you have any questions or comments. Thank you! Cheers Mary

As most of you know, the Review Team is finalizing what has been a 4+ years effort, and I believe it would be timely to be able to capture any comments they may wish to make regarding Organisational Reviews. The Review Team is meeting tomorrow and we hope to have comments back from them by Friday. With regard to the Short Term Options to Adjust the Timeline for Specific Reviews, please consider the options available at the following link and respond to the list regarding preferences. https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/specific-reviews-short-term-tim… [icann.org] I suspect that it may not be possible for the Council to submit a comment on the Short-Term Options as I am already aware that the RySG will be supporting Option B, which is at odds with the views expressed by Ayden during out last Council call.

by Heather Forrest 26 Jul '18

26 Jul '18

Dear Council colleagues, Putting PDP3.0 back squarely on our collective radars....... Huge thanks to Marie for posting the BC's comments soon after ICANN62 ended. Following up on the Action Items from our recently concluded July Council meeting, Rafik, Donna and I are working on a plan for next steps for PDP3.0 after comments are received. *Reminder: Comments are due by 15 August*. At the August Council meeting, leadership will suggest that, after incorporating comments received, the report be put to Council for its consideration and endorsement at the September meeting, with outreach to the other SO/ACs at ICANN63. In particular, we are looking to highlight whether anything is missing in the recommendations, or recommendations that could be amended to better align with recent experiences. Best wishes, Heather ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Marika Konings <marika.konings(a)icann.org> Date: Sat, May 12, 2018 at 7:23 AM Subject: [council] GNSO PDP 3.0 discussion paper To: "council(a)gnso.icann.org" <council(a)gnso.icann.org> *Sending on behalf of the Council leadership* Dear colleagues, Please find attached for your review the GNSO PDP 3.0 discussion paper. The Council leadership team has collaborated with staff in bringing all discussions and suggestions to date into one document for your and your respective communities’ consideration. We welcome input, particularly on section 4 – potential incremental improvements for consideration. In particular, which potential incremental improvements should be prioritized, are there any missing, are there additional implementation steps that should be considered? After receiving feedback, we hope to commence the development of an implementation plan proposing the when/how/who of implementing those incremental improvements agreed upon by the Council. To contribute to this next step in the improvements process we kindly request your feedback and/or that of your community by 8 June so that the Council can consider next steps during its meeting at ICANN62.
