Item 4: COUNCIL DISCUSSION – Amendments to the Review of All Rights Protection Mechanisms in All gTLDs Charter to Integrate Recommendation 5 From IGO-INGO Access to Curative Rights Protection Mechanisms Final Report (15 minutes) On 18 April 2019, the Council voted<https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocouncilmeetings/Motions+18+April+20…> to approve recommendations 1-4 of Final Report from the IGO-INGO Access to Curative Rights Protection Mechanisms PDP WG. The Council also resolved to not approve Recommendation 5 and, ” directs the Review of All Rights Protection Mechanisms in All gTLDs (RPM) PDP to consider, as part of its Phase 2 work, whether an appropriate policy solution can be developed that is generally consistent with Recommendations 1, 2, 3 & 4 of the PDP Final Report and: · accounts for the possibility that an IGO may enjoy jurisdictional immunity in certain circumstances; · does not affect the right and ability of registrants to file judicial proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction; · preserves registrants’ rights to judicial review of an initial UDRP or URS decision; and · recognizes that the existence and scope of IGO jurisdictional immunity in any particular situation is a legal issue to be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.” The GNSO Council resolved also to, “amend the charter for the RPM PDP Working Group to reflect this new instruction accordingly.” Here, the Council will begin initial conversations on how best to integrate Recommendation 5 into the RPMs PDP Charter. 4.1 – Introduction of topic (Council leadership) 4.2 – Council discussion 4.3 – Next Steps Item 5: COUNCIL DISCUSSION – Discussion of the Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy (IRTP) Policy Status Report (10 minutes) The Consensus Policy Implementation Framework (CPIF) provides guidance to ICANN org and the community for implementing policy. However, there is minimal guidance in this document or in other documentation around the review of implemented policies adopted by the GNSO Council. In some cases, a review is explicitly mandated as an element of the PDP WG’s recommendations to the Council, but in some cases, the recommendations are silent in this respect. ICANN org, in consultation with the Council, prepared a draft framework<https://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/post-implementation-policy-review-framewor…> on the approach for post-implementation reviews of Council adopted policy recommendations. The framework provides guidance on a number of questions (e.g., When should a review be initiated when there is no PDP recommendation to do so? What triggers should initiate a review? What are the expected outcomes of the review? Etc.). During its 26 April 2018 meeting, the Council agreed to have ICANN org conduct a review of the Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy (IRTP). ICANN org utilized the draft framework for conducting the post-implementation review of the IRTP. On 14 November 2018, ICANN org published<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/irtp-status-2018-11-14-en> the IRTP Policy Status Report for public comment. ICANN org has worked to integrate elements identified in public comment and on 22 April 2019, shared a Revised Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy (IRTP) Status Report<https://gnso.icann.org/issues/transfers/irtp-status-22apr19-en.pdf>. As noted in the report, there are no prescribed next steps once the Council is in receipt of the report. As such, here, the Council will discuss possible next steps for the Transfer Policy. 5.1 – Introduction of topic (Council leadership and Brian Aitchison, ICANN org) 5.2 – Council discussion 5.3 – Next Steps Item 6: COUNCIL DISCUSSION – Legislative / Regulatory Report (15 minutes) As a result of the community’s experience in dealing with the European Commission’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) legislation, and what is widely perceived as a late start in addressing the impact, the community has sought to become more aware of local law that may have an effect on the ability to create policy, conduct ongoing policy development, or enforce compliance with existing policy. In seeking to advance this goal, ICANN org, and in particular its Governmental Engagement (GE) team, has been identifying and reporting on high-level legislative developments around the world. The GE has released three reports, the first in April 2018<https://www.icann.org/news/blog/improving-our-planning-and-preparation>, the second in August 2018<https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2018-08-30-en>, and the third in January 2019<https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2019-01-31-en>. At ICANN64 in Kobe, the Council discussed the usefulness of these reports and believe that there is room for improvement, for instance, identifying the potential impact of these local laws on the GNSO and/or other ICANN communities. The Council has expressed a desire to meet with GE to help determine how the Legislative / Regulatory Reports can be made more effective and useful. Here, the Council will receive an update from GE and discuss areas for improvement. 6.1 – Update (Mandy Carver, ICANN org) 6.2 – Council discussion 6.3 – Next steps Item 7: COUNCIL DISCUSSION - GNSO Input to the Independent Review Process Standing Panel (15 minutes) Per the ICANN org’s Call to Action<https://www.icann.org/news/blog/independent-review-process-standing-panel-c…>, “The IRP is an accountability mechanism provided by the ICANN Bylaws that allows for third-party review of actions (or inactions) by the ICANN Board or staff that are allegedly in violation of the Bylaws or Articles of Incorporation. The IRP was updated through the work of the Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability, to make the IRP more transparent, efficient, and accessible, and designed to produce consistent and coherent results that will serve as a guide for future actions. One feature of the updated IRP is the establishment of a standing panel from which panelists shall be selected to preside over each IRP dispute as initiated.” At this stage, ICANN org is seeking to consult with the SOs and ACs to establish the process by which members are selected to serve on the standing panel to hear IRPs. The Call to Action included a series of questions to help resolve pending issues. Additional questions can also be found on the Wiki<https://community.icann.org/display/ESPFIRP/Relevant+Documents>. However, there was concern within the ICANN community that the Call to Action was not widely seen, as it was an alternative form of soliciting public input (e.g., the expectation is generally public comment). While the GNSO Council recognizes the importance of providing input, it wishes to better understand precisely what is being asked of it. Here, the Council will receive an update and discuss next steps. 7.1 – Update (David McCauley, Chair of the IRP Implementation Oversight Team, Samantha Eisner, ICANN org, Liz Le, ICANN Org) 7.2 – Council discussion 7.3 – Next steps Item 8: COUNCIL DISCUSSION - Non-registry GNSO Liaison to the Customer Standing Committee (10 minutes) A key element of the IANA Stewardship was the establishment of the Customer Standing Committee (CSC), whose role under the ICANN Bylaws<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#article17> is to, “monitor PTI's performance under the IANA Naming Function Contract and IANA Naming Function SOW. The mission of the CSC is to ensure continued satisfactory performance of the IANA naming function for the direct customers of the naming services. The direct customers of the naming services are top-level domain registry operators as well as root server operators and other non-root zone functions.” In establishing the membership of the CSC, the GNSO has the option to appoint a non-registry liaison. Since the CSC’s inception in 2016, that role has been filled by James Gannon, whose term is set to expire in October of 2019, though he has indicated a willingness to continue to serve in that role for another term. The Council believes it will benefit from gaining a better understanding of James’ experience serving on the CSC on behalf of the GNSO. Here, the Council will receive an update from James and discuss next steps. 8.1 – Update (James Gannon) 8.2 – Council discussion 8.3 – Next steps Item 9: COUNCIL DISCUSSION - Evolution of the Multistakeholder Model of Governance (15 minutes) At ICANN63, the ICANN Board asked the community, “How should ICANN’s multistakeholder 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?” Based on community input to that question, as well as other input that resulted in the inclusion of Strategic Objective 2 in the Draft ICANN Strategic Plan for FY 2021-2025, “Improve the effectiveness of ICANN’s multistakeholder model of governance,” the ICANN Board organized a session at ICANN64, led by Brian Cute as an independent facilitator, to continue the conversation with the community. Here, recognizing the similar objectives within the Council’s own PDP 3.0, Brian would like to provide an update on the efforts to improve the effectiveness of ICANN’s multistakeholder model of governance. 9.1 – Update (Brian Cute) 9.2 – Council discussion 9.3 – Next steps Item 10: ANY OTHER BUSINESS (5 minutes) 10.1 - GNSO Chair election timeline 10.2 - Possible next steps for IDNs (IDN Implementation Guidelines and Variant TLD Recommendations) _______________________________ 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.

However, on behalf of the Empowered Community Administration, I also note that this formal notification from the ICANN Secretary is deficient with respect to ICANN’s obligations under Section 22.4(a)(v) of the ICANN Bylaws, which require that “…the Secretary shall provide a Board Notice to the EC Administration and the Decisional Participants , which Board Notice shall enclose a copy of the Operating Plan that is the subject of the Operating Plan Approval.” (https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#article22 [http://icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_resource…>). For the record, the Empowered Community Administration was NOT provided in the notification email to which I am responding with a “…copy of the Operating Plan that is the subject of the Operating Plan Approval”, as specified under Section 22.4(a)(v) of the ICANN Bylaws. Also for the record, and again on behalf of the Empowered Community Administration, this will not be a hinderance to our acceptance of the formal notification with regards to the ICANN Board’s adoption of the FY20 Operating Plan and Budget, as well as their adoption of the Updates to the Five Year Operating Plan 2020. However, going forward, the Empowered Community Administration expects that ICANN will fully comply with their obligations with respect to Empowered Community Administration notification as expressed in Section 22.4(a)(v) of the ICANN Bylaws.

For more information, please contact Liz Le at <elizabeth.le(a)icann.org<mailto:elizabeth.le@icann.org>>. BACKGROUND The IRP is an accountability mechanism provided by the ICANN Bylaws that allows for third-party review of actions (or inactions) by the ICANN Board or staff that are allegedly in violation of the Bylaws or Articles of Incorporation. 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 NEW: 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. Please join one of two webinars on Tuesday, 14 May 2019 at 16:00 UTC or Wednesday, 15 May 2019 at 23:00 UTC. 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<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Z8Txrt5nKlhDW1BtxKWco2HOzS4AU7P-d-fdVqYkSEiA…> on Thursday, 25 April 2019. This webinar is intended to continue that discussion. For more information, please see this announcement<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Z8Txrt5nKlhDW1BtxKWco2HOzS4AU7P-d-fdVqYkSEiA…>.

LOOKING AHEAD: ICANN66 Travel Support Timeline Executive: Sally Costerton, Senior Advisor to the President and CEO; Senior Vice President, Global Stakeholder Engagement FOR: All Community Leaders INFORMATION SHARING All travel support requests are now due 120 days prior to the next ICANN Public Meeting. This was previously a 90-day deadline. Therefore, the deadline for ICANN66 travel support is Friday, 5 July 2019. If applicable, community groups will need to adjust their election timelines accordingly to ensure new leaders are eligible in time for the ICAN66 travel support deadline.

SAVE THE DATE: ICANN65 Community Leadership Reception Executive: David Olive, Senior Vice President, Policy Development Support FOR: All Community Leaders INFORMATION SHARING Save the date for the ICANN65 Community Leadership Reception with members of the ICANN Board and Executive Team on Sunday, 23 June 2019, 18:00-20:00 CET in Marrakech, Morocco. Details will be confirmed as the date approaches. 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<mailto:atrt3-coordination@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.

ICANN Announcement: Participants for the Name Collision Analysis Project (NCAP) discussion group
by Nathalie Peregrine 06 May '19

06 May '19

FYI https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2-2019-04-17-en LOS ANGELES – 17 April 2019 – The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is seeking participants for the Name Collision Analysis Project (NCAP) discussion group. The NCAP discussion group, as defined by the Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC) proposal and revised by ICANN's Office of the CTO, is an open and public group tasked with discussing issues pertaining to the work of the NCAP Study 1. The NCAP Study 1 was authorized by the ICANN Board of Directors on 14 March 2019. The study will: · examine all prior work on the issue of name collisions and produce a summary report that brings forward important knowledge from prior work into this study, and which can act as a primer for those new to the subject. · create a list of data sets used in past studies, identify gaps, if any, and list additional data that would be required to successfully complete Studies 2 and 3. · decide if the project should proceed based on the results of the survey of prior work and the availability of data. There are two ways to participate in the NCAP discussion group: · Individual participants – Participants are expected to actively contribute to mailing list conversations as well as meetings. Each potential participant will be required to provide a Statement of Interest (SOI) before gaining posting rights to the mailing list. It is anticipated that participants will provide essential input to the process. · Mailing list observers – The position of observer is for those only interested in monitoring the NCAP discussions. Observers are offered read-only access to the mailing list. At any point in time, a mailing list observer can join the NCAP discussion group as a participant simply by submitting a SOI. To operate in a transparent manner, all mailing list exchanges are publicly archived<https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/ncap-discuss/>. All participants are responsible for abiding by ICANN's Expected Standards for Behavior<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/expected-standards-2012-05-15-en>. To join the Name Collision Analysis Project discussion group, please fill out the following questionnaire<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1PDlX6sMldP4vLn1LLuefxsup78mLM0iDb8ybWhlw2T…> by 6 May 2019. Background For more information on NCAP study 1, click here<https://community.icann.org/display/NCAP/NCAP+Working+Documents?preview=/79…>. About ICANN ICANN's mission is to help ensure a stable, secure, and unified global Internet. To reach another person on the Internet, you need to type an address – a name or a number – into your computer or other device. That address must be unique so computers know where to find each other.
