by Nathalie Peregrine July 19, 2019

July 19, 2019

Dear all, Please find below the resolution from the GNSO Council at its meeting on Thursday 18 July 2019 to be posted on the GNSO resolutions<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__gnso.icann.org_en_coun…> page shortly. Consent Agenda Adoption of the GNSO Council Review of GAC Communiqué for submission to the ICANN Board Whereas, 1. 1. The Governmental Advisory Committee advises the ICANN Board on issues of public policy, and especially where there may be an interaction between ICANN's activities or policies and national laws or international agreements. It usually does so as part of a Communiqué, which is published towards the end of every ICANN meeting. 2. 2. The GNSO is responsible for developing and recommending to the ICANN Board substantive policies relating to generic top-level domains. 3. 3. The GNSO Council has expressed a desire to provide feedback to the ICANN Board on issues in the GAC Communiqué as these relate to generic top-level domains to inform the ICANN Board as well as the broader community of past, present or future gTLD policy activities that may directly or indirectly relate to advice provided by the GAC. 4. 4. The GNSO Council hopes that the input provided through its review of the GAC Communiqué will further enhance the co-ordination and promote the sharing of information on gTLD related policy activities between the GAC, Board and the GNSO. Resolved, 1. 1. The GNSO Council adopts the GNSO Council Review of the Marrakech GAC Communiqué (see [https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/review-ga…) and requests that the GNSO Council Chair communicate the GNSO Council Review of the Marrakech GAC Communiqué to the ICANN Board. 2. 2. The GNSO Council requests that the GNSO Chair also informs the GAC Chair of the communication between the GNSO Council and the ICANN Board.

ICANN's Legislative/Regulatory Tracker -- Recommended Improvements
by Drazek, Keith July 18, 2019

July 18, 2019

Ayden, Darcy, Erika, Flip, Michele, Phillipe and Tatiana: During our GNSO Working Session in Kobe, the seven of you volunteered to help develop GNSO Council recommendations for improvements to ICANN's current Legislative/Regulatory tracking effort. As we discussed, ICANN's work in this area is relatively new and still evolving, and we have an opportunity to engage with Theresa's group to help shape their approach to ensure it is applicable to our policy work and process management responsibilities. While their work product is currently a spreadsheet, I recall we agreed it needs to go much deeper in analysis and demonstrate a predictive capability for where future or existing regulations impact GNSO policies, in effect now or under future development. Please work together and with Staff to help kick off this important and timely work. Thanks, Keith

Call for volunteers IRP-IOT and proposed Council endorsement process
by Nathalie Peregrine July 18, 2019

July 18, 2019

Dear Council Members, SG/C Chairs, As you may be aware, the ICANN Board Accountability Mechanisms Committee (BAMC) recently launched a call for volunteers to recompose the Independent Review Process (IRP) Implementation Oversight Team (IOT) (see https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/sanchez-to-siddiqui-et… [icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_en_syste…>). The letter also notes that ‘if any SO/AC wishes to vet candidates through its own candidate selection process, the BAMC welcomes that work, diligence, and indication of support when passing the candidate further into the process’. As during recent discussions, Council members as well as GNSO community members have highlighted the importance of this process and the need for the GNSO to contribute candidates with expertise to this process, Council leadership would like to propose the following steps: 1. Any candidates interested in GNSO Council endorsement should send their Expressions of Interest describing how his or her experience aligns with the skills identified, as well as a commitment to the estimated time demands to gnso-secs(a)icann.org<mailto:gnso-secs@icann.org> by Friday 12 July 2019. 2. Council leadership will evaluate the applications against the skills and experience outlined in the call for volunteers (see also below). 3. Council leadership will share with the Council the proposed candidates for GNSO Council endorsement by 17 July 2019 at the latest. 4. Council to consider proposed candidates for endorsement during 18 July 2019 GNSO Council meeting. 5. GNSO Secretariat to submit EOIs of endorsed candidates by 31 July 2019 at the latest. 6. All the EOIs of the candidates that meet the qualifications will be provided to the BAMC for evaluation and identification of new members. If you have any questions or concerns about this proposed process, please let us know as soon as possible. We appreciate that the timeline is short, but we hope this will not prevent you from encouraging members who have the required skills and experience from applying. To be clear, nothing prevents those not seeking GNSO Council endorsement from submitting their applications directly to the BAMC. With best regards, Pam Little and Rafik Dammak, Vice Chairs, GNSO Council On behalf of GNSO Council Leadership From https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/sanchez-to-siddiqui-et… [icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_en_syste…> Skills and Experience Required The IOT has very important work remaining, including the finalization of a set of Updated Supplementary Procedures that will define the conduct of IRPs and assure that the purposes of the IRP are upheld. These Procedures must also align with principles of international arbitration. As a result, those members of our community that you identify and encourage to join the IOT, should have the necessary legal or judicial skills and experience in disputes such as IRPs, arbitrations, or other alternate dispute resolution processes. Specific familiarity with ICANN’s accountability mechanisms is another important skill that we hope to see amongst new members. No single candidate must bring all of this experience, but as we look at the IOT as a whole, we are striving for a variety of experiences that, taken together, make the IOT well-suited to finalize a set of procedures to conduct IRP proceedings. IOT members must also have the time and availability to attend at least a one hour call each week to participate on IOT telephonic meetings, as well as sufficient availability to contribute to the work online.
