The Review Team reconvened after being paused since October 2017 and held an in-person meeting on 22-24 August in Washington, DC. The Review Team has on-boarded new members, selected leadership, reviewed work to date, and updated our scope/terms of reference <https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/66061139/SSR2-Terms%20of%2…> (attached). We are refreshing our workplan and outreach/communication plan, and then we are moving forward with our substantive work. More details of our August meeting and ongoing work are described in the attached blog, which will be publicly posted. The Review Team unanimously agreed on leadership (in addition to me serving as Chair, we have Vice Chairs - Denise Michel, Eric Osterweil, Laurin Weissinger), and unanimously approved an updated scope/terms of reference, which is attached and will be publicly posted on our wiki <https://community.icann.org/display/SSR/SSR2+Review>. We welcome your input on this and other SSR2 efforts. The Review Team is looking forward to efficiently progressing its work. We plan to next meet at ICANN63 in Barcelona. Given the past delays, we feel it’s imperative that the Review Team meet at ICANN63 to advance our work and engage with community members. We would greatly appreciate your help in ensuring that a room is reserved ASAP for our 15-member meeting sessions on 21 and 24 October. To hold time on Review Team members’ schedules and to save ICANN funds, we need to promptly lock-in this meeting and arrange travel. Thank you for your support for the Review Team’s important, bylaw-mandated work. Please don’t hesitate to contact me and the Review Team if you need additional information or wish to share your thoughts. -- *Jennifer Bryce* Senior Reviews Coordinator Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Email: jennifer.bryce(a)icann.org Skype: jennifer.bryce.icann www.icann.org

Fwd: [So-ac-sg-cleaders] ICANN63 Barcelona - Questions from the ICANN Board - Constituencies Sessions
by Heather Forrest Sept. 21, 2018

Sept. 21, 2018

Dear Council colleagues, As ICANN63 rapidly approaches and we turn our minds to the details of agendas, please see the two questions below that the Board has asked SO/ACs to consider in preparation. Main priorities in 2019 are at this stage rather unformed; the incoming 2018/19 Council will want to identify and drive these efforts, so the request is for our SO rather premature. That said, we can offer some insight on the opportunity of a second Strategic Planning Session, and upcoming milestones in the EPDP, SubPro and RPM PDPs. Multistakeholder model future development links very neatly to our PDP3.0 project, which itself has its origin in the Strategic Planning Session (here I'm thinking of our "scary spreadsheet" of everything on the GNSO's to-do list in 2018, which has become a model for other SO/ACs in strategic planning). I am hopeful that our PDP3.0 efforts were on the Board's mind when sending this question around. We need to capture in return our questions for the Board, so this email can serve as the kick off for that discussion. Note the deadline for notification is the Monday immediately following next week's GNSO Council meeting, so time is tight. Best wishes to all, and happy Friday, Heather ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Vinciane Koenigsfeld <vinciane.koenigsfeld(a)icann.org> Date: Fri, Aug 31, 2018 at 12:29 AM Subject: [So-ac-sg-cleaders] ICANN63 Barcelona - Questions from the ICANN Board - Constituencies Sessions To: so-ac-sg-cleaders(a)icann.org <so-ac-sg-cleaders(a)icann.org> Cc: Board Ops Team <board-ops-team(a)icann.org>, icann-board < icann-board(a)icann.org> *Sent on behalf of Cherine Chalaby, Chair, ICANN Board of Directors* Dear Constituency and Stakeholder Groups Chairs, *Questions to the Board - Please reply no later than Monday 1 October 2018* The Board is looking forward to meeting with you at the upcoming AGM starting on 20 October 2018 in Barcelona. While we are looking at always improving our processes and interaction with you, we also would like to look at the challenges ahead of us in 2019. I am therefore sending you herewith two questions that the Board would like to submit to your attention for the upcoming face-to-face meetings in Barcelona: *- What will be your main priorities in 2019? * *- **How should ICANN's multisatkeholder model of governance and Policy Development Process evolve to balance the increasing need for inclusivity, accountability and transparency, with the imperative of getting our work done and our policies developed in a more effective and timely manner, and with the efficient utilization of ICANN’s resources? * In the meantime, we would be very grateful if you could send to Board Operations (board-ops-team(a)icann.org) the questions you would like the Board to address during our face-to-face meetings. Given the finite time available for these meetings, we would appreciate it very much if you could list your questions in order of priority. We would also appreciate getting your questions no later than *Monday 1 October, 2018 or sooner*. We thank you in advance for your time on this matter and we look forward to welcoming you!

Fwd: Triage document - Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data Expedited Policy
by Heather Forrest Sept. 21, 2018

Sept. 21, 2018

Dear Council colleagues, With sincere thanks to Kurt, Rafik and the EPDP Team, I share Kurt's message below and first deliverable from the EPDP Charter. We will continue to receive regular updates through Rafik as Council liaison. I suggest that any questions about the triage report be posted here to the Council list, and from there communicated on to the EPDP Team through Rafik as liaison and Kurt as Chair. Best wishes, Heather ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Kurt Pritz <kurt(a)kjpritz.com> Date: Sat, Sep 15, 2018 at 11:56 PM Subject: Triage document - Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data Expedited Policy To: Heather Forrest <haforrestesq(a)gmail.com> Cc: Rafik Dammak <rafik.dammak(a)gmail.com>, Austin, Donna <Donna.Austin(a)team.neustar>, Marika Konings <marika.konings(a)icann.org>, Berry Cobb Mail <mail(a)berrycobb.com>, Caitlin Tubergen < caitlin.tubergen(a)icann.org> Dear Heather: On behalf of the Expedited PDP team, please find attached the triage document that is required by the GNSO Charter for Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data ( https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/temp-spec…) It is being delivered somewhat later than planned. However, EPDP meeting deliberations on the triage document completed some weeks ago and the team has been editing the report offline since that time in a way that does not interfere with subsequent substantive tasks. The document describes the methodology and pretty much stands on its own, so I won’t provide additional explanation in this email. t We are providing two reports, the requisite triage document and also a document reporting each group’s written comments that were prepared in advance of our discussion of each Temporary Specification section. Please share this with the rest of the GNSO Council and forward any question to me. Sincerely, Kurt Pritz EPDP Team, Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data Expedited Policy

Motion: https://community.icann.org/x/IxlpBQ * Acceptance of the Standing Committee on Budget and Operations’ (SCBO) After Action Report. Item 4: COUNCIL VOTE – Approval of the CCWG-Accountability WS2 Final Report (10 minutes) The Cross Community Working Group on Accountability, Work Stream 2 (CCWG-Accountability WS2), focused on addressing accountability topics that may be resolved after the IANA Stewardship Transition. In March of 2018, the CCWG-Accountability WS2 completed its Final Report<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/ccwg-acct-ws2-final-27mar18-en.…>, for which it sought public comment<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/ccwg-acct-ws2-final-2018-03-30-en>. Comment received did not result in any substantive changes to the Final Report. On 24 June 2018, at ICANN62, the CCWG-Accountability WS2 held its final meeting, thus concluding its work. The CCWG-Accountability WS2 anticipates that all of the chartering organizations must consider the recommendations and approve them prior to ICANN Board consideration and possible adoption. During its July 2018 meeting, the GNSO Council received an update from Co-Chair Thomas Rickert, who indicated that the CCWG-Accountability hopes that Chartering Organizations will adopt the Final Report prior to the ICANN63 meeting. Subsequently, the Council discussed the Final Report, to determine if there are any likely challenges anticipated in adopting the Final Report at its September Council meeting. Here, the Council will vote to adopt the Final Report of the CCWG-Accountability WS2. 4.1 – Presentation of motion<https://community.icann.org/x/IxlpBQ> (Heather Forrest) 4.2 – Council discussion 4.3 – Council vote (voting threshold: simple majority) Taking this action is within the GNSO’s remit as a Chartering Organization of the Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability. Item 5: COUNCIL VOTE – Adoption of the Final Report on the Protections for Certain Red Cross Names in All gTLDs Policy Amendment Process (15 minutes) Following discussions around possible ways of reconciling inconsistent GAC advice and GNSO policy recommendations relating to National Society names of the Red Cross Movement and the two names of the international components of the Movement(http://sched.co/9xr2<http://sched.co/9xr2)>), the ICANN Board passed a resolution requesting that the GNSO Council initiate the process outlined in Section 16 of the GNSO’s Policy Development Process (PDP) Manual, which sets forth the requisite steps for amending policy recommendations that have been approved by the GNSO Council but not yet approved by the ICANN Board(https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/prelim-report-2017-03-…<https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/prelim-report-2017-03-16-en#…)>). The Board’s request related to the 190 Red Cross National Society names and the two international movement names and a limited defined set of their variants. On 03 May 2017, the Council resolved<https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions#201705> to initiate the Section 16 process as requested by the Board, which resulted in the limited reconvening of the original PDP on Protection of IGO and INGO Identifiers in All gTLDs. The Reconvened WG began its deliberations on 14 June 2017 and published its Initial Report on 21 June 2018. After considering comments received, the WG made changes as applicable and completed its Final Report, which it delivered to the GNSO Council on 6 August 2018. The GNSO Council considered the report on its 16 August 2018 meeting, but the motion was deferred to September. Here, the Council will vote to adopt the Final Report of the Reconvened WG. 5.1 – Presentation of motion<https://community.icann.org/x/IxlpBQ> (Heather Forrest) 5.2 – Council discussion 5.2.1 - Does the Council believe that the PDP has addressed the issues that it was chartered to address (i.e. What questions/topics was the Working Group chartered to consider, did it consider those charter topics/questions, and did it do so in a legitimate way)? 5.2.2 - Has the PDP followed due process? 5.2.3 - Did the PDP Working Group address GAC advice on the topic? 5.3 – Council vote (voting threshold: Supermajority) Taking this action is within the GNSO’s remit as outlined in ICANN’s Bylaws as the GNSO ‘shall be responsible for developing and recommending to the Board substantive policies relating to generic top-level domains and other responsibilities of the GNSO as set forth in these Bylaws’ (Art.11.1). Furthermore, this action complies with the requirements set out in Annex A: GNSO Policy Development Process of the ICANN Bylaws. Item 6: COUNCIL UPDATE – new gTLD Auction Proceeds CCWG (10 minutes) On 7 November 2016, the GNSO Council adopted the charter<https://community.icann.org/x/DJjDAw> for the new gTLD Auction Proceeds Cross Community Working (CCWG), where it determined it would serve as a Chartering Organization. The objective of the CCWG is to develop a proposal(s) for consideration by the Chartering Organizations. The CCWG charter includes a series of guiding principles that the CCWG is expected to take into account and lists 11 charter questions for the CCWG to answer in the course of its work. The Council appointed GNSO members to the CCWG and Erika Mann as the GNSO co-chair to the CCWG. The CCWG has met on a regular basis, generally every two weeks, and is currently in the process of finalizing its s Initial Report for publication. Here, the Council will receive an update on the progress of the new gTLD Auction Proceeds CCWG . 6.1 - Council update (Erika Mann) 6.2 - Council discussion 6.3 - Next steps Item 7: COUNCIL UPDATE – Temporary Specification for Registration Data Expedited Policy Development Process - Recurring Update (15 minutes) On 19 July 2018, the GNSO Council resolved<https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions#20180719-2> to initiate the Expedited Policy Development Process (EPDP) on the Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data and adopt the EPDP Team Charter<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/temp-spec…>. Given the challenging timeline for the EPDP and the GNSO Council’s role in managing the PDP process, the Council has agreed that including a recurring update on the EPDP for each Council meeting is prudent. Here, the Council will receive an update from the GNSO Council liaison to the EPDP. 7.1 – Update (Rafik Dammak, GNSO Council liaison to the EPDP and EPDP vice-chair) 7.2 – Council discussion 7.3 – Next steps Item 8: ANY OTHER BUSINESS (5 minutes) 8.1 - ICANN63 planning 8.2 - Standing Selection Committee 8.2.1 - ATRT3 nomination review 8.2.2 - Fellowship Program - Input for two-year outreach and promotion goals and selection of ICANN Fellowship Program Selection Committee Members 8.4 - Next steps for the IGO-INGO Curative Rights Protection Mechanisms PDP WG Final Report ________________________________ 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.
