PDP 3.0 Package 1: Final Documents for Improvements 1, 2, 3 & 6
by Ariel Liang Aug. 22, 2019

Aug. 22, 2019

Dear GNSO Councilors, On behalf of the PDP 3.0 Small Team, staff would like to inform you that the Small Team has completed five (5) out of fourteen (14) PDP 3.0 improvements so far. The rest of the nine (9) improvements are all in the pipeline with various levels of progress. In advance of the 22 August Council meeting, the PDP 3.0 Small Team are sending the following documents for four (4) completed PDP 3.0 improvements as the first deliverable to the GNSO Council for review. They are packaged together as they are concerned with the expectations, requirements, and/or participation methods for PDP working groups members and/or leaders. Note that Improvement #14 (Criteria to Evaluate Request for Data Gathering) has also been completed, but it will be delivered in a separate package together with other completed, related improvements prior to future GNSO Council meetings. * Improvement #1: Terms of participation for working group members<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bs_bQwITOJvDIWgaj0FV2A_bbX02EptU/edit> * Improvement #2: Consider alternatives to open working group model<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1N-U9dvu_IBkW1FvpGY_aGr0uW6VZTW9Y/edit> * Improvement #3: Criteria for joining of new members after a PDP working group is formed or re-chartered * Main document<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qp7rv4wB8TNzkPdi5yuKlpfIjgt81ClOZsq4EcA…> * Working Group Member Skills Guide<https://docs.google.com/document/d/14uAsBg0_BnhJ6nqjitsHutm1AcFKhRsa4VAsR-W…> * Improvement #6: Document expectations for working group leaders (Chairs/Co- Chairs/Leads) that outlines role & responsibilities as well as minimum skills / expertise required<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DxRS7jYHh1i5USyrr0wP6dpJhQjRqrMnnT_xWuz…> The Small Team invites the GNSO Council to review these documents and welcomes your questions and feedback. The Small Team looks forward to further discussions with the GNSO Council during the meeting on 22 August. == Background The GNSO Council identified a number of challenges as well as possible improvements related to the Policy Development Process (PDP), as a result of a number of discussions throughout 2018. These efforts started in the form of a staff discussion paper<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WbL79RXpkisfAnKOtxpuy_sf466_3XIT/view>, shared on 10 January 2018 and discussed at the GNSO Council’s 2018 Strategic Planning Session. In order to engage the broader GNSO community in this discussion, the GNSO Council organized a collaborative session<https://61.schedule.icann.org/meetings/647692> involving the members of the PDP Leadership Teams as well as the broader community to summarize key points from the Strategic Planning Session, elaborate on the challenges that PDPs presently face and identified, and begin to brainstorm possible solutions. On 11 May 2018, an updated paper<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/pdp-discu…> was prepared, taking into account feedback received. The GNSO Council solicited additional feedback from the GNSO Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies, summarizing input received<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/pdp-summa…>. An updated report<https://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/pdp-increase-effectiveness-efficiency-23oc…> was prepared as well as an Implementation Plan<https://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/pdp-implementation-plan-10dec18-en.pdf>. On 24 October 2018, the Council resolved<https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions#201810> to adopt the Final Report and begin implementation, as well as report on progress no less than on a quarterly basis. At the 2019 GNSO Council Strategic Planning Session, the Council discussed early drafts for select implementation areas, ultimately agreeing that a small team of Councilors be convened to support implementation efforts. That small team of Councilors first convened at ICANN64 in Kobe, Japan and met on a bi-weekly basis between April and June 2019. During its informal status meeting at ICANN65 in Marrakech, Morocco, the small team decided to make a few enhancements on its working methods in order to meet its goal of completing implementation of all fourteen (14) PDP 3.0 improvements by ICANN66 Montreal, Canada. These enhancements include: * Increase its meeting frequency to weekly basis; * Designate small team lead who works with GNSO support staff to tackle each improvement; * Track completion status and set target dates for final call and document finalization; * Use google docs for all improvement documents to facilitate collaboration. In addition, the small team has also decided to deliver the final documents of completed improvements in an incremental manner -- selected few improvements, which often have a common theme or relate to each other, are delivered to the GNSO Council in one package. With fewer documents to review each time, the GNSO Council should be able to digest the documents more easily and provide timely input to help the small team improve its future deliverables to the Council.

Information Sharing TOMORROW: Submission Deadline for NCAP Study 1 RFP Extended Executive: David Conrad, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) FOR: All Community Leaders INFORMATION SHARING On 9 July 2019, the ICANN org opened an RFP to select a contractor to research and write Study 1 of the Name Collision Analysis Project (NCAP), a project overseen by SSAC at the request of the ICANN Board. Very few organizations indicated their intention to bid on this work, so the ICANN org decided to extend the deadline for proposal submission to Friday, 23 August 2019. More information [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__r20.rs6.net_tn.jsp-3Ff-…>. All community leaders are encouraged to share this information with any organizations they believe might be interested and capable of performing the work. NEXT WEEK: Planning Assumptions for Subsequent Procedures for New gTLDs Executive: Cyrus Namazi, Senior Vice President, Global Domains Division FOR: All Community Leaders INFORMATION SHARING 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. 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.

These are working assumptions informed by the current work of the Subsequent Procedures PDP Working Group. Depending on outcome of the PDP Working Group and community input, the assumptions may be updated. These assumptions have been shared with the ICANN Board, as well as the PDP Working Group and other parts of the community. ICANN org has held discussions and/or received input from the Subsequent Procedures PDP Working Group, GAC, ALAC, and RSSAC. ICANN org plans to summarize the community input received on the operational planning assumptions and share with the ICANN Board at its September workshop.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION: Request from RPM PDP co-chairs & GNSO Council leadership response
by Mary Wong Aug. 22, 2019

Aug. 22, 2019

SENT ON BEHALF OF KEITH DRAZEK, PAM LITTLE & RAFIK DAMMAK Dear Councilors, Please see the attached request that we as the GNSO Council leadership team received on Monday 19 August from the RPM PDP Working Group co-chairs and our response, which we have just sent following a meeting with Paul McGrady (the Council liaison to this PDP) and ICANN policy staff. In the interests of time and to allow the Working Group to resume its Phase One work without delay, we decided to send the attached response as soon as we could. We and Paul believe that our response provides the requested clarity as regards the baseline from which the RPM PDP was chartered to perform a review of the RPMs that were developed for the 2012 New gTLD Program round in its Phase One work. In this regard, we note that the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP is also proceeding from the same baseline. To ensure transparency in the Council leadership’s consultations with PDP chairs and liaisons, we are forwarding the request and our response to you for your information. We invite any Councilor who wishes to seek further information as to our discussion and response on this matter to send a note to the Council mailing list. We will be happy to address your questions, including under AOB on our upcoming call if time permits. Thank you. Best regards, Keith, Pam and Rafik
