Dear all, Please find below the resolution from the GNSO Council meeting on Wednesday 19 November 2020 which will be posted shortly on the GNSO resolutions<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__gnso.icann.org_en_coun…> page. Consent Agenda 3.1 - Action Decision Radar <https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocouncilmeetings/Action+Decision+Rad…> - After discussing on the October 2020 meeting, Council to approve delay for the request for the Policy Status Report (PSR) for the Expired Domain Deletion Policy<https://www.icann.org/en/resources/registrars/accreditation/eddp> and the Expired Registration Recovery Policy<https://www.icann.org/en/resources/registrars/consensus-policies/errp> . For clarity, delay should be considered to mean that while the Council recognizes the importance of the PSR for these consensus policies, they do not need to be at the top of the queue. 3.2 - Motion<https://community.icann.org/x/9ITzC> for the confirmation of GNSO representative to the Empowered Community Administration Motion - Confirmation of GNSO Representative to the Empowered Community Administration Submitted by: Pam Little Seconded by: Tatiana Tropina Whereas, 1.

* Deadline Thursday 19 November* Reminder: Call for Volunteers: GNSO Council Small Team on CCWG-Accountability Workstream 2 Recommendation Prioritization
by Nathalie Peregrine 18 Nov '20

18 Nov '20

(message sent on behalf of the GNSO Council leadership) Dear Councilors, This is a call for volunteers for the GNSO Council small team tasked with deliberating on the CCWG-Accountability Workstream 2 Implementation Assessment Report<https://community.icann.org/display/WEIA/Public+Documents?preview=/12081960…> and developing a prioritization document of the WS2 Recommendations<https://community.icann.org/display/WEIA/Public+Documents?preview=/12081960…> for consideration by the GNSO Council. As you may recall, this Council small team was established in September 2020 to facilitate the future implementation of WS2 recommendations. Specifically, the purpose of the prioritization exercise is for the Council small team to identify a subset of WS2 recommendations that: 1. The GNSO Council has the responsibility to implement; 2. The broader GNSO Community (i.e., GNSO Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies) has the responsibility to implement; and 3. The broad ICANN community, including the GNSO, has the responsibility to implement in a collaborative manner. The Council small team has also been tasked to propose the priority level (i.e., high, med, low) of completing the implementation of a specific recommendation. You may learn more about the small team’s preliminary work here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WwlFVOSCRGn86ZOwqJG6Ev7WMHLwN0cvERgQwA3… [docs.google.com]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/docs.google.com/document/d/1WwlFVOSCRGn8…> Since the Council transition in October 2020, some of the small team members have departed. Therefore, we are launching this call for volunteers, especially among the newly seated Councilors who may be interested in joining this small team effort. If you are interested in joining, please email gnso-secs(a)icann.org<mailto:gnso-secs@icann.org> by COB Thursday, 19 November. Current Councilors who have already been involved in the small team since September 2020 will maintain their membership by default. However, if you do not wish to continue your participation, please also email gnso-secs(a)icann.org<mailto:gnso-secs@icann.org> by COB Thursday, 19 November. Thank you for your interest and time! Best Regards, Philippe, Pam, Tatiana

FW: Meeting Survey Reponses and Next Steps
by philippe.fouquart＠orange.com 14 Nov '20

14 Nov '20

Hi everyone, Please have a look at David’s email, which summarises where we are with the meeting survey responses. As expected there’s been significant feedback coming from the GNSO, and we (in coordination with the SG/Cs) may need to think about how we can approach this collectively (without superseding those SG/C responses obviously) The idea is certainly not to add an extra overhead but to facilitate the ensuing work. One idea would be to reach out to SG/C leaders with an initial format based on those responses and come up with those salient points by the deadline, which in 30 November. Thoughts more than welcome. Thanks. Regards, Philippe From: soac-chairs [mailto:soac-chairs-bounces@icann.org] On Behalf Of David Olive Sent: Friday, November 13, 2020 10:56 PM To: soac-chairs(a)icann.org Cc: Goran Marby <goran.marby(a)icann.org>; Mary Wong <mary.wong(a)icann.org>; Sally Costerton <sally.costerton(a)icann.org>; Tanzanica S.

We received a total of 176 responses to the survey with very useful input on this important topic. We have sorted all of the responses and created individual links to the results for each SO and AC (below). As agreed previously, we ask that each Chair share your group’s consolidated feedback with your group for additional internal discussion, with a view toward consolidating the various individual responses into a single submission from your respective SO and AC. While we understand that this could be relatively more cumbersome for the At Large and GNSO communities, it will greatly facilitate our next discussion with you as to the common concerns and suggestions across the entire community. If needed, we can assist you in organizing a discussion session with your group (including any constituent structures, where applicable). We can also facilitate any meetings that you may wish to have amongst yourselves as SOAC Chairs, to compare notes prior to the next SOAC Roundtable where Goran, I and my Executive Team colleagues hope to review each group’s consolidated feedback with you. We hope that providing you with this data will help facilitate your group discussions, so as to arrive at a single group response in accordance with the timeline proposed below.

GNSO Council Response - ICANN Public Meeting Strategy Survey
by Steve Chan 11 Nov '20

11 Nov '20

Dear Councilors, On behalf of the small team of volunteers (John, Olga, Sebastien, Stephanie, Tatiana, and Tom) who elected to work on a GNSO Council response to the ICANN Public Meeting Strategy survey, please find that draft response here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1v7pl9kWbCTRFYfmWNA-XNQolx6hAYSiUm-rlUUI…. Understanding that the SG/Cs and individuals from those groups have provided their own input in many cases, the draft response was kept narrowly focused and consistent with feedback that the Council has provided in the past to the ICANN Public Meeting Strategy. Note that the deadline has actually passed for providing feedback. In the interest of time, I am planning to provide the feedback to my ICANN org colleagues now and note that the draft was only just shared with the full Council for its non-objection, which may result in a revision to the response at a later date. Accordingly, if any Councilors see something that requires changing, please let us know ASAP. Best, The Small Team & Steve Steven Chan  Senior Director, GNSO Support Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) 12025 Waterfront Drive, Suite 300 Los Angeles, CA 90094-2536  Email: steve.chan(a)icann.org Skype: steve.chan55 Mobile: +1.310.339.4410 Find out more about the GNSO by visiting: https://learn.icann.org/ Follow @GNSO on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ICANN_GNSO Transcripts and recordings of GNSO Working Group and Council events are located on the GNSO Master Calendar
