FW: ICANN org's preparation toward implementation of a new round of gTLDs
by Drazek, Keith June 17, 2019

June 17, 2019

FYI From: Cyrus Namazi <cyrus.namazi(a)icann.org> Sent: Monday, June 17, 2019 1:29 PM To: Drazek, Keith <kdrazek(a)verisign.com> Cc: Marika Konings <marika.konings(a)icann.org>; David Olive <david.olive(a)icann.org>; Trang Nguyen <trang.nguyen(a)icann.org>; Steve Chan <steve.chan(a)icann.org> Subject: [EXTERNAL] ICANN org's preparation toward implementation of a new round of gTLDs Dear Keith; As you likely recall, in December 2015 the GNSO initiated a Policy Development Process (PDP) to determine if changes to existing policy recommendations are needed before the next round of gTLDs. We understand that the PDP Working Group expects to publish its final report with its recommendations by December 2019. These recommendations may lead to procedural changes for subsequent rounds of gTLD applications, which ICANN org must implement and manage. In the course of our preparatory work toward the planning and implementation of the new policy, ICANN org has compiled a number of fundamental operationally focused assumptions to help with the preliminary planning and operational readiness of the organization. I have shared these assumptions with the ICANN Board, and am now sharing them with all ICANN constituencies in the briefing document attached. We plan to meet face-to-face with the Subsequent Procedures PDP Working Group in Marrakech to further discuss these assumptions. If the GNSO Council members are also interested in further engagement and providing feedback and perspective on these assumptions please let me know and we will be happy to arrange a mutually convenient time for a discussion. For your information, this information will also be included in the ICANN Community Digest which is planned to be issued later this week. Sincerely, Cyrus Namazi Senior Vice President | Global Domains Division Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) 801 17th St NW, Suite 400 | Washington, DC 20006 USA Office +1 202 249 7543 | Mobile +1 408 421 6894 Skype : cnamazi www.icann.org <http://www.icann.org>

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.

IRP IoT and IRP Standing Panel -- Please Review
by Drazek, Keith June 12, 2019

June 12, 2019

Hello GNSO Stakeholder Group and Constituency Chairs, I hope this note finds you well as we rapidly approach ICANN 65. In Marrakech, one of the topics we are likely to discuss and hear about from the ICANN Board is the work of the Independent Review Process (IRP) Implementation Oversight Team (IoT) and the need for the community to focus on the appointment of an IRP Standing Panel. Two distinct items will require GNSO and SG/C consideration: The first is a need to repopulate the current IoT, which began with about 25 members several years ago, but has dwindled in active participation. Second, the ICANN community will be required to contribute to the discussions around the appointment of members to a Standing Panel. This is a critical bylaw obligation and must be made a GNSO priority during the second half of 2019. Please include this topic in your agenda planning for Marrakech and for future SG/C meetings, so the GNSO Council can be well-informed of your respective views. Regards, Keith

REQUEST FOR INPUT and the EPDP Team input in response to GNSO Council's request
by Drazek, Keith June 12, 2019

June 12, 2019

Hi all, As requested, the EPDP Team submitted its input (attached) on the Phase 1 recommendations to the GNSO Council in advance of our interaction with the ICANN Board in Marrakech. If your respective SGs and Cs have any further input to the Council, please send it to the Council list by this Friday so we can plan accordingly. Our interaction with the Board in Marrakech will be the beginning of our dialogue on this matter. Regards, Keith From: Janis Karklins <karklinsj(a)gmail.com> Sent: Sunday, June 09, 2019 4:23 PM To: Drazek, Keith <kdrazek(a)verisign.com> Cc: gnso-epdp-team(a)icann.org; gnso-epdp-lead(a)icann.org Subject: [EXTERNAL] EPDP Team input in response to GNSO Council's request Dear Keith, Following the request of the GNSO Council for the EPDP Team to identify any questions, comments or concerns to be shared with the ICANN Board in relation to their action on the EPDP Phase 1 Recommendations, 3 groups provided their feedback (see Annex A) which the EPDP Team discussed during its meeting on 6 June 2019. Although there was not sufficient time to formalize and agree on an EPDP Team response, the team felt it important to share the different perspectives with you to help inform the Council’s preparation for the consultation process with the ICANN Board. My take-away from the discussion was that: • In relation to purpose 2, there is general understanding for why the Board decided to not adopt this purpose and the EPDP Team confirms that it considers it firmly within its scope for phase 2 to further review this purpose in the context of the System for Standardized Access / Disclosure (SSAD); • For recommendation #12, some additional context has been provided that may help explain the thinking behind the EPDP Team’s original recommendation. However, there is no agreement at this stage on whether or not the Board’s non-adoption should be supported. The EPDP Team understands that following the GNSO Council’s consultation with the ICANN Board you will follow up with us to provide an update on dialogue with ICANN Board and request further input on the possible next steps for GNSO Council. The EPDP Team stands ready to assist as needed. Best regards, Janis Karklins
