For GNSO Council Consideration: Proposed Amendments to the Consensus Policy Implementation Framework (CPIF)
by Brian Aitchison Oct. 18, 2019

Oct. 18, 2019

Dear GNSO Council, The Consensus Policy Implementation Framework (CPIF) represents ICANN org’s Global Domains Division’s “roadmap” for implementing community-developed and approved consensus policy recommendations. Point H of the Framework mandates that ICANN org “continually review the implementation framework and related materials to encapsulate additional best-practices or to adjust the steps as a result of lessons learned with previous consensus policy projects.” In accordance with this mandate, please find attached an amended version of the CPIF for your consideration. This proposed set of amendments focuses on establishing standardized processes for post-implementation consensus policy reviews and for amending the CPIF document on an ongoing basis. In addition to a number of minor language updates, the following sections have been added to or created: 1. Section V, “Support and Review”: Section expanded to reference the proposed post-implementation consensus policy review process added in the new Section VI 2. Section VI, “Post-Implementation Consensus Policy Review Process”: New section added to detail proposed steps for carrying out reviews of implemented consensus policies 3. Section VII, “Consensus Policy Implementation Framework Amendment Process”: New section added to detail proposed steps for amending the CPIF Similar to our effort last year to update the framework and “test” the amendment process, minor updates have been left as redlines throughout the document; more substantive changes are shown as redlines and have “rationale” comments associated with them. The amended version will ultimately be posted to icann.org’s implementation page at https://www.icann.org/policy/implementation. Community review of these proposed amendments is essential to ensure that they conform to existing org and community standards and practices. If you have input on these proposed amendments, please provide it to this group by Monday, 9 September (feel free to annotate the document directly and/or provide your input in an email). Thank you all for your time in reviewing this important process. Please let me know of any questions. Best, Brian Aitchison -- Brian Aitchison, PhD Lead Researcher Operations and Policy Research Global Domains Division Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Los Angeles, CA

TABLE OF CONTENTS ICANN66 Planning · REMINDER: Preparations for ICANN66 Constituency Day · REMINDER: ICANN66 Prep Week Schedule · REMINDER: Participate in Newcomers Day at ICANN66 · REMINDER: Support the ICANN Engagement Booth at ICANN66 · SAVE THE DATE: ICANN66 Community Leadership Reception Information Sharing · REMINDER: Invitation to Provide Feedback on the ICANN Board’s Proposed Public Interest Framework · REMINDER: ICANN Preparations for IGF 2019: Information for the Community and Requests for Input Public Comment · Next Steps to Improve the Effectiveness of ICANN's Multistakeholder Model · Competition, Consumer Trust, and Consumer Choice Review Team (CCT-RT) Accepted Recommendations – Plan for Implementation and Next Steps ICANN66 Planning REMINDER: Preparations for ICANN66 Constituency Day From: Cherine Chalaby, ICANN Board Chair FOR: All Community Leaders ACTION ITEM Dear Constituency and Stakeholder Group Chairs, Please reply no later than Monday, 14 October 2019 The Board and I are very much looking forward to engaging with you during our 21st AGM that will take place in Montréal between 2-7 November 2019. We wish to keep working on improving our interaction with you and, in particular, we want to address some of the requests and feedback we have received and introduce some more flexibility in the format of our valuable face-to-face meetings. Starting in Montréal, instead of sending up to three questions to the Board, we would like to offer you the alternative option of choosing a single topic and having an open discussion with the Board on that topic. We are also suggesting that the list of questions or topics received be shared with the entire Community using the Policy digest, in order to increase transparency and allow the groups to improve their own understanding of their peers’ point of views on different issues. As for time allocation, we propose to allocate half of our time together to answer your questions or discuss your single topic and the other half to address the Board’s topic. In preparation for our meetings, the Board chose the following topic to have an open discussion with you: “Community, Board and ICANN org readiness to implement the following three critical plans that will shape ICANN’s future: (1) Strategic Plan FY 21-25, (2) Operating & Financial Plan FY 21-25, and (3) Work Plan to improve the effectiveness of ICANN’s multistakeholder model.” The Strategic Plan [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__r20.rs6.net_tn.jsp-3Ff-…> has been adopted by the Board last June at ICANN65 in Marrakech. The two other plans will be completed and posted for public comment in December 2019. At ICANN64 in Kobe, the Board asked each constituency to provide three suggestions, one for the Board, one for ICANN org and one for the Community of things/aspects that should be done/improved in order to implement these plans successfully, starting 1 July 2020, as mandated by our Bylaws. In addition, the Board asked for one suggestion of something that could be done externally to improve trust and with our partners and alliances (eg. IETF) so that they collaborate effectively with ICANN on some of our strategic objectives (eg. DNS security). Based on the input received in Kobe, we are compiling a list of suggested actions for the community, Board and ICANN org which we would like to share and discuss with you in Montreal. We will send you that list in advance of our meeting in Montréal on or before Friday, 11 October 2019. We would be very grateful if you could send to Board Operations (board-ops-team(a)icann.org) your single topic or the list of questions (max. 3), in order of priority, no later than Monday, 14 October 2019 or sooner. For information, we are not changing the current total time allotted per group nor the room set-up. We look forward to hearing your thoughts on our suggestions and on how to improve our interaction further. We thank you in advance for your time on this matter and we look forward to welcoming you in Canada!

More details including location and specific time will be shared later. Information Sharing REMINDER: Invitation to Provide Feedback on the ICANN Board’s Proposed Public Interest Framework Executive: Sally Costerton, Senior Vice President, Global Stakeholder Engagement FOR: All Community Leaders INFORMATION SHARING From 18 September – 18 October 2019, a community consultation is taking place on the global public interest framework proposed by the ICANN Board. In reviewing the proposal, the ICANN Board is asking the ICANN community to consider the following questions for input to the ICANN Board: 1. What are your thoughts on the proposed framework approach? Do you have any suggestions for how it could be improved? 2. What are your thoughts on the proposed approach for decisions in the ICANN ecosystem to be accompanied by a consideration of their impact on the global public interest (as well as an explanation regarding what is meant by the GPI in the specific case)? 3. How do you see this working for the Supporting Organization (SO), Advisory Committee (AC), constituency, group, review team, or cross-community working group (CCWG) to which you are contributing? The global public interest is central to many of ICANN’s primary governance documents, and the ICANN Board hopes to play a role in facilitating a bottom-up, community-driven process to develop a framework as a toolkit for the ICANN community to consider the global public interest. These considerations would not change the process by which decisions are made but could instead serve as tools for the community to reinforce the commitment to the public interest and to demonstrate how specific recommendations, advice, and public comments are in the global public interest. This includes the ICANN community guiding the ICANN Board about the public interest determination the latter must make in its decisions. To learn more about the framework, please read the discussion paper [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__r20.rs6.net_tn.jsp-3Ff-…>. Community feedback is welcome by Friday, 18 October 2019 via email at gpitoolkit(a)icann.org. After the community consultation, there will be a public session at ICANN66, followed by a Public Comment proceeding. For more information, visit: https://go.icann.org/2kMb7RB.

TABLE OF CONTENTS ICANN66 Planning · NEW: Preparations for ICANN66 Constituency Day · REMINDER: ICANN66 Prep Week Schedule · REMINDER: Participate in Newcomers Day at ICANN66 · REMINDER: Support the ICANN Engagement Booth at ICANN66 · SAVE THE DATE: ICANN66 Community Leadership Reception Information Sharing · REMINDER: Invitation to Provide Feedback on the ICANN Board’s Proposed Public Interest Framework · REMINDER: ICANN Preparations for IGF 2019: Information for the Community and Requests for Input Public Comment · Next Steps to Improve the Effectiveness of ICANN's Multistakeholder Model · Competition, Consumer Trust, and Consumer Choice Review Team (CCT-RT) Accepted Recommendations – Plan for Implementation and Next Steps ICANN66 Planning NEW: Preparations for ICANN66 Constituency Day From: Cherine Chalaby, ICANN Board Chair FOR: All Community Leaders ACTION ITEM Dear Constituency and Stakeholder Group Chairs, Please reply no later than Monday, 14 October 2019 The Board and I are very much looking forward to engaging with you during our 21st AGM that will take place in Montréal between 2-7 November 2019. We wish to keep working on improving our interaction with you and, in particular, we want to address some of the requests and feedback we have received and introduce some more flexibility in the format of our valuable face-to-face meetings. Starting in Montréal, instead of sending up to three questions to the Board, we would like to offer you the alternative option of choosing a single topic and having an open discussion with the Board on that topic. We are also suggesting that the list of questions or topics received be shared with the entire Community using the Policy digest, in order to increase transparency and allow the groups to improve their own understanding of their peers’ point of views on different issues. As for time allocation, we propose to allocate half of our time together to answer your questions or discuss your single topic and the other half to address the Board’s topic. In preparation for our meetings, the Board chose the following topic to have an open discussion with you: “Community, Board and ICANN org readiness to implement the following three critical plans that will shape ICANN’s future: (1) Strategic Plan FY 21-25, (2) Operating & Financial Plan FY 21-25, and (3) Work Plan to improve the effectiveness of ICANN’s multistakeholder model.” The Strategic Plan [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__r20.rs6.net_tn.jsp-3Ff-…> has been adopted by the Board last June at ICANN65 in Marrakech. The two other plans will be completed and posted for public comment in December 2019. At ICANN64 in Kobe, the Board asked each constituency to provide three suggestions, one for the Board, one for ICANN org and one for the Community of things/aspects that should be done/improved in order to implement these plans successfully, starting 1 July 2020, as mandated by our Bylaws. In addition, the Board asked for one suggestion of something that could be done externally to improve trust and with our partners and alliances (eg. IETF) so that they collaborate effectively with ICANN on some of our strategic objectives (eg. DNS security). Based on the input received in Kobe, we are compiling a list of suggested actions for the community, Board and ICANN org which we would like to share and discuss with you in Montreal. We will send you that list in advance of our meeting in Montréal on or before Friday, 11 October 2019. We would be very grateful if you could send to Board Operations (board-ops-team(a)icann.org) your single topic or the list of questions (max. 3), in order of priority, no later than Monday, 14 October 2019 or sooner. For information, we are not changing the current total time allotted per group nor the room set-up. We look forward to hearing your thoughts on our suggestions and on how to improve our interaction further. We thank you in advance for your time on this matter and we look forward to welcoming you in Canada!

More details including location and specific time will be shared later. Information Sharing REMINDER: Invitation to Provide Feedback on the ICANN Board’s Proposed Public Interest Framework Executive: Sally Costerton, Senior Vice President, Global Stakeholder Engagement FOR: All Community Leaders INFORMATION SHARING From 18 September – 18 October 2019, a community consultation is taking place on the global public interest framework proposed by the ICANN Board. In reviewing the proposal, the ICANN Board is asking the ICANN community to consider the following questions for input to the ICANN Board: 1. What are your thoughts on the proposed framework approach? Do you have any suggestions for how it could be improved? 2. What are your thoughts on the proposed approach for decisions in the ICANN ecosystem to be accompanied by a consideration of their impact on the global public interest (as well as an explanation regarding what is meant by the GPI in the specific case)? 3. How do you see this working for the Supporting Organization (SO), Advisory Committee (AC), constituency, group, review team, or cross-community working group (CCWG) to which you are contributing? The global public interest is central to many of ICANN’s primary governance documents, and the ICANN Board hopes to play a role in facilitating a bottom-up, community-driven process to develop a framework as a toolkit for the ICANN community to consider the global public interest. These considerations would not change the process by which decisions are made but could instead serve as tools for the community to reinforce the commitment to the public interest and to demonstrate how specific recommendations, advice, and public comments are in the global public interest. This includes the ICANN community guiding the ICANN Board about the public interest determination the latter must make in its decisions. To learn more about the framework, please read the discussion paper [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__r20.rs6.net_tn.jsp-3Ff-…>. Community feedback is welcome by Friday, 18 October 2019 via email at gpitoolkit(a)icann.org. After the community consultation, there will be a public session at ICANN66, followed by a Public Comment proceeding. For more information, visit: https://go.icann.org/2kMb7RB.

Hi all, Following up our Council discussion last Thursday, if anyone has further comments or suggested edits to the draft RPM Charter addendum, please send them to the list by 22:00 UTC on Tuesday, 1 October. To summarize comments to date, during the Council call, we agreed to remove or significantly amend the paragraph referencing Recs 1-4, and to include language suggested by Maxim related to expertise of participants. As discussed, this draft has been available for review and comment since 9 September, and we need to move it forward. Our target is to have this addendum ready for Council approval in Montreal, so your timely attention is appreciated. Once we have a stable draft, I will share it with GAC leadership and IGOs to seek preliminary feedback prior to our 24 October Council meeting.

REMINDER: Invitation to Provide Feedback on the ICANN Board’s Proposed Public Interest Framework Executive: Sally Costerton, Senior Vice President, Global Stakeholder Engagement FOR: All Community Leaders INFORMATION SHARING From 18 September – 18 October 2019, a community consultation is taking place on the global public interest framework proposed by the ICANN Board. In reviewing the proposal, the ICANN Board is asking the ICANN community to consider the following questions for input to the ICANN Board: 1. What are your thoughts on the proposed framework approach? Do you have any suggestions for how it could be improved? 2. What are your thoughts on the proposed approach for decisions in the ICANN ecosystem to be accompanied by a consideration of their impact on the global public interest (as well as an explanation regarding what is meant by the GPI in the specific case)? 3. How do you see this working for the Supporting Organization (SO), Advisory Committee (AC), constituency, group, review team, or cross-community working group (CCWG) to which you are contributing? The global public interest is central to many of ICANN’s primary governance documents, and the ICANN Board hopes to play a role in facilitating a bottom-up, community-driven process to develop a framework as a toolkit for the ICANN community to consider the global public interest. These considerations would not change the process by which decisions are made but could instead serve as tools for the community to reinforce the commitment to the public interest and to demonstrate how specific recommendations, advice, and public comments are in the global public interest. This includes the ICANN community guiding the ICANN Board about the public interest determination the latter must make in its decisions. To learn more about the framework, please read the discussion paper [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__r20.rs6.net_tn.jsp-3Ff-…>. Community feedback is welcome by Friday, 18 October 2019 via email at gpitoolkit(a)icann.org.

In reviewing the proposal, the ICANN Board is asking the ICANN community to consider the following questions for input to the ICANN Board: 1. What are your thoughts on the proposed framework approach? Do you have any suggestions for how it could be improved? 2. What are your thoughts on the proposed approach for decisions in the ICANN ecosystem to be accompanied by a consideration of their impact on the global public interest (as well as an explanation regarding what is meant by the GPI in the specific case)? 3. How do you see this working for the Supporting Organization (SO), Advisory Committee (AC), constituency, group, review team, or cross-community working group (CCWG) to which you are contributing? The global public interest is central to many of ICANN’s primary governance documents, and the ICANN Board hopes to play a role in facilitating a bottom-up, community-driven process to develop a framework as a toolkit for the ICANN community to consider the global public interest. These considerations would not change the process by which decisions are made but could instead serve as tools for the community to reinforce the commitment to the public interest and to demonstrate how specific recommendations, advice, and public comments are in the global public interest. This includes the ICANN community guiding the ICANN Board about the public interest determination the latter must make in its decisions. To learn more about the framework, please read the discussion paper [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__r20.rs6.net_tn.jsp-3Ff-…>. Community feedback is welcome by Friday, 18 October 2019 via email at gpitoolkit(a)icann.org. After the community consultation, there will be a public session at ICANN66, followed by a Public Comment proceeding. For more information, visit: https://go.icann.org/2kMb7RB. NEW: Nominating Committee Review Detailed Implementation Plan Executive: Theresa Swinehart, Senior Vice President, Multistakeholder Strategy and Strategic Initiatives FOR: All Community Leaders INFORMATION SHARING The Nominating Committee Review Implementation Working Party (NomComRIWG) has submitted a Detailed Implementation Plan [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__r20.rs6.net_tn.jsp-3Ff-…> to the ICANN Board Organizational Effectiveness Committee (OEC). The OEC will review the detailed implementation plan and make its recommendation to the ICANN Board. ICANN Board action is expected during ICANN66. If the ICANN Board accepts the detailed implementation plan, implementation will start shortly after, with the NomComRIWG [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__r20.rs6.net_tn.jsp-3Ff-…> overseeing the process per the ICANN Board resolution from 14 March [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__r20.rs6.net_tn.jsp-3Ff-…>. Implementation will require community input, including but not limited to Public Comment and possible changes to the ICANN Bylaws. The NomComRWIG expects the implementation of all 27 recommendations to last between 30 and 36 months with an impact on the NomCom and, by extension, the ICANN community.
