PLEASE READ: Zoom for the GNSO Council meeting 16 May 2019
by Nathalie Peregrine May 15, 2019

May 15, 2019

Dear all, As you may be aware we will be using a Zoom room for the GNSO Council meeting tomorrow, Thursday 16 May 2019 at 12:00 UTC. Please see changes triggered by Zoom below: 1. Connecting to the audio: Upon logging in to the Zoom room, you will be given 3 options: * using VoIP (computer audio), * getting a call out to your phone, * dialing in. If your internet connection is unstable, please use the call out option. If you are used to getting a dial out with Verizon, and your internet connection is unstable, please refer to the list of phone numbers here: https://zoom.us/u/aRxRoDRS. If your location is not listed, please email gnso-secs(a)icann.org<mailto:gnso-secs@icann.org> for a dial out. We are still using Verizon for audio cast purposes and can ask the operator to dial out to you exceptionally if Zoom cannot provide a number for your location. 1. Document viewing: Zoom allows for document sharing only (not document uploading), this means that the Adobe Connect scrolling capabilities are not reflected in the Zoom room. Staff Support will be screen sharing documents for which this is not an issue (one or two page documents for instance), but will be posting links in the Zoom chat room for lengthier documents. In order to prepare for the call, please ensure you have the Council meeting Document wiki page<https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocouncilmeetings/Documents+16+May+20…> open on your computer. This wiki page lists all the documents mentioned in the agenda. It will be easier to follow the lengthier documents on your computers than in the Zoom room. 1. Please take a quick look at the two documents below regarding Zoom before the call: * Welcome to Zoom: https://icann.box.com/shared/static/1sal3l5qf4csdukt0pk2c75ey3bte22z.pdf * Zoom FAQ: https://icann.box.com/shared/static/d5rap0g6xphevhkdd3mhu2hy753l2m3s.pdf Please do not hesitate to email gnso-secs(a)icann.org<mailto:gnso-secs@icann.org> should you have any questions or concerns. A very short introduction to Zoom will be provided at the start of the GNSO Council meeting. Kind regards, Nathalie Nathalie Peregrine Manager, Operations Support (GNSO) Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Email: nathalie.peregrine(a)icann.org <nathalie.peregrine(a)icann.org%20> Skype: nathalie.peregrine.icann Find out more about the GNSO by taking our interactive courses<applewebdata://EB3A6F47-9760-400D-A39B-A7EFFC56B467/learn.icann.org/courses…> and visiting the GNSO Newcomer pages<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__gnso.icann.org_sites_gn…>

Hello Marie and everyone – as we did not see any further discussion following your message, staff have not edited or amended the Recommendations Report that was circulated for Council review.

I am consulting with the BC membership, but some initial thoughts: * 4 - Agree that it makes sense to go to the same IRT as for the Red Cross. * 5 - Although not for these Recs, notable that we will need legal expertise for Rec 5 in the new RPM group.

FOR REVIEW/DISCUSSION: Working Draft of RPM Charter Amendments
by Mary Wong May 14, 2019

May 14, 2019

Dear Councilors, Please find attached for your review a Working Draft of proposed amendments to the RPM PDP Charter. The document is an initial attempt to address the incorporation, into the RPM PDP, of the IGO curative rights topic that the Council resolved last month to refer to the RPM PDP Working Group. Please note the following important points as you review the attached draft: * This is a Working Draft for which your input and comments are being sought by the Council leadership, who as a result have not edited the initial text prepared by staff. * The Council is not expected to make a decision at this stage – instead, this draft was prepared to foster discussion, including on the next GNSO Council call where the topic is expected to be on the agenda as a discussion item. * You will see that the draft is being presented as an Addendum that can be incorporated (if and when the Council votes to approve it) into the existing RPM Charter. For context, staff is suggesting this approach as we think it represents a clearer and “cleaner” way to define the scope of the issue at hand as well as allow for a more flexible methodology/mechanism for addressing it. * We envisage that the formal “incorporation by reference” can be achieved by the appropriate formulation of the actual motion as well as an additional provision inserted into the existing Charter that clearly refers to the Addendum and its purpose. * The suggested approach (including team composition and leadership requirements) is based substantially on the Council’s PDP3.0 work to date as well as experience drawn from the launch of Work Track 5 in the SubPro PDP and the recently-concluded EPDP Phase One. We have listed these sources on Pages 1 & 2 of the document. We look forward to your comments and further discussions on this subject. Best regards, Steve & Mary

The questions identified here [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__r20.rs6.net_tn.jsp-3Ff-…> need to be resolved in order to move forward with the work on establishing a standing panel.

The Bylaws provide that an omnibus standing panel shall be established from which panelists shall be selected to preside over specific IRP disputes. The ICANN Bylaws specify that ICANN shall, in consultation with the SOs and ACs, establish the standing panel. The Bylaws requires ICANN, in consultation with the SOs and ACs, to pursue a four-step process to establish the standing panel. As part of the process, the SOs and ACs must collectively agree on one slate of candidates for the standing panel to be submitted to the ICANN Board for approval. Information Sharing THIS WEEK: Webinar Invitation: Evolving ICANN's Multistakeholder Model of Governance Executive: Theresa Swinehart, Senior Vice President, Multistakeholder Strategy and Strategic Initiatives FOR: All Community Leaders INFORMATION SHARING ICANN invites the community to continue an ongoing conversation about evolving ICANN's multistakeholder model of governance.

When the community came together at ICANN64, they engaged in a conversation facilitated by Brian Cute about how to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of ICANN's multistakeholder model of governance. Based on those comments and additional input received at ICANN63, a paper requesting further feedback was posted for Public Comment [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__r20.rs6.net_tn.jsp-3Ff-…> on Thursday, 25 April 2019.

REMINDER: Meet with the ATRT3 Review Team at ICANN65 Executive: Theresa Swinehart, Senior Vice President, Multistakeholder Strategy and Strategic Initiatives FOR: All SO/AC Chairs INFORMATION SHARING The third Accountability and Transparency Review Team (ATRT3) will meet in Marrakech to advance its work. As some of the team will be in Marrakech we would like to ask for a 30 to 40-minute slot on your community group's agenda, if possible. Community input is key to the success of this process. If you are able to accommodate us on your agenda, please send us an email to <atrt3-coordination(a)icann.org> to let us know a day and time that would suit. We will send you a preliminary set of questions ahead of the meeting to aid the discussion. We also welcome any questions you wish to raise in advance. Our goal for Marrakech is to: - Socialize our terms of reference and scope; - Conduct investigation of identified objectives - Seek input from the community to help us shape our findings and draft recommendations. BACKGROUND The ATRT review is mandated by ICANN Bylaws Section 4.6 (b) to examine ICANN’s execution of its commitment to maintain and improve robust mechanisms for public input, accountability, and transparency so as to ensure that the outcomes of its decision-making reflect the public interest and are accountable to the Internet community. Prior to meeting in Marrakech, the review team met on 3-5 April in Los Angeles for its first substantive meeting to develop our terms of reference and work plan, in response to the Board Resolution (2018.10.25.15) requesting that “ATRT3 adopt its Terms of Reference and Work Plan within 60 days of convening its first meeting, and submit these documents to the Board and to the leadership of the Supporting Organizations and the Advisory Committees, to confirm that the team's scope and timeline are consistent with the requirements of the ICANN Bylaws and ICANN community expectations.” We look forward to hearing from you.

IDN TLD Variants Small Team - Call for Volunteers
