NEW: Chair’s Blog: Key Takeaways from the 2020 Board Self-Evaluation From: Maarten Botterman, Chair, ICANN Board of Directors As part of our commitment to continuous improvement, the ICANN Board of Directors conducts a self-evaluation every two years [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001hR97LyM9p8mammYzo…> to assess our effectiveness and ability to work together in support of ICANN’s mission [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001hR97LyM9p8mammYzo…>. Through the evaluation, we identify areas of strength, areas where we have made progress, areas that require improvement, and areas of opportunity for us to function better as a team – up to and beyond the sum of our individual qualities. This year’s evaluation also presented an opportunity to better understand how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the Board’s ability to function in an entirely remote format. The evaluation is managed by an outside consultant. It consists of a written survey, supplemented by optional phone interviews with the consultant, where Board members can elaborate on their responses and provide input on any other issues that they find relevant or important.

Next Council Meeting 17 December 2020 - Sub Pro WG Status & Proposed New Timeline
by Flip Petillion 17 Dec '20

17 Dec '20

All, Below is new timeline proposed by the Sub Pro Leadership. In my opinion, these new proposed extensions are quite reasonable and realistic. They allow the discussion of the Final Report during the GNSO Council Meeting in January. Leadership expects the Council will have 1) the consensus designation prior to the Document Deadline for the January meeting (which is 11 January), and 2) the minority reports (If any) before the January meeting itself. The plan is to present this for a vote during the February Council Meeting. If asked for, we may consider to organize a more in-depth discussion of the report after our January Council Meeting, before the vote in February. Let me remind that the Draft Final Report was published last Summer out for comment. It was the result of 5 years of discussions. I have witnessed that Sub Pro Leadership has been providing the Working Group with several drafts. The Working Group members have been given an opportunity to comment and their comments have been shared among the participating members. The latest drafts contain minor clean ups. I add my personal gratitude to Staff. Without their relentless support, this was impossible to achieve. The new timeline is a positive response to people asking for more time. The timeline will give them extra days to express support/non-support for the report. It will also add an extra 10 days for the minority report(s). Council Approved Work Plan Work Plan Announce Last Week Potential Modified Work Plan 17 Dec 20 – Consensus Call 17 Dec 20 – Content Freeze 17 Dec 20 - Content Freeze 23 Dec 20 – Final Report delivered to Council 22 Dec 20 – Consensus Call Begins 22 Dec 20 - Consensus Call Begins 5 Jan 21 – Consensus Call Ends 8 Jan 21 – Consensus Call Ends 6 Jan 21 – Consensus Call Designations 11 Jan 21 – Consensus Call Designations 7 Jan 21 – WG Meeting to discuss designations 12 Jan 21 – WG call to discuss designations 8 Jan 21 – Challenges to Designations and Minority Reports Due 13 Jan 21 – Challenges to Consensus Call Designations 11 Jan 21 – Deliver Final Report to Council 18 Jan 21 – Minority Reports Due & Deliver Report to the Council 21 Jan 21 – GNSO Council Meeting 21 Jan 21 – GNSO Council Meeting In sum, with this modified timeline (column to the right), the Final Report with Consensus Designations can be sent by the Document Deadline of 11 January 2021. Sub Pro Leadership expects the minority reports (fin any) to be available to the Council by the time of the discussion of the report during the January Meeting. I look forward to our next Council meeting on Thursday. Best regards, Flip Flip Petillion fpetillion(a)petillion.law<mailto:fpetillion@petillion.law> +32484652653 www.petillion.law [id:image001.png@01D3691D.DA7539C0]<https://www.petillion.law/> Attorneys – Advocaten – Avocats

Dear Councillors, FYI. For those who may not be aware of the following you may want to have a look at the following revised directive. Thanks Steve for putting this together. Regards, Philippe -------- Message d'origine -------- De : Steve Chan <steve.chan(a)icann.org> Date : 16/12/2020 20:55 (GMT+01:00) À : gnso-chairs(a)icann.org Objet : [gnso-chairs] Directive on Security of Network and Information Systems (NIS 2 Directive) Hi Philippe, Pam, Tanya, You may already be aware, but we thought you might welcome being informed of a revised Directive published today by the European Commission, which will still be subject to much discussion and negotiation: https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/news/proposal-directive-measu…. It may be relevant to the work of the GNSO, see Article 23 in particular: Article 23 Databases of domain names and registration data 1. For the purpose of contributing to the security, stability and resilience of the DNS, Member States shall ensure that TLD registries and the entities providing domain name registration services for the TLD shall collect and maintain accurate and complete domain name registration data in a dedicated database facility with due diligence subject to Union data protection law as regards data which are personal data. 2. Member States shall ensure that the databases of domain name registration data referred to in paragraph 1 contain relevant information to identify and contact the holders of the domain names and the points of contact administering the domain names under the TLDs. 3. Member States shall ensure that the TLD registries and the entities providing domain name registration services for the TLD have policies and procedures in place to ensure that the databases include accurate and complete information. Member States shall ensure that such policies and procedures are made publicly available. 4. Member States shall ensure that the TLD registries and the entities providing domain name registration services for the TLD publish, without undue delay after the registration of a domain name, domain registration data which are not personal data. 5. Member States shall ensure that the TLD registries and the entities providing domain name registration services for the TLD provide access to specific domain name registration data upon lawful and duly justified requests of legitimate access seekers, in compliance with Union data protection law. Member States shall ensure that the TLD registries and the entities providing domain name registration services for the TLD reply without undue delay to all requests for access. Member States shall ensure that policies and procedures to disclose such data are made publicly available. Once the NIS2 Directive proposal is agreed upon and consequently adopted, Member States will have to transpose it within 18 months. I will leave it up to you three to determine if this should be forwarded to the full Council list.

Action item GNSO3
by philippe.fouquart＠orange.com 15 Dec '20

15 Dec '20

Dear Councilors, As an action item of our Council call, we agreed to discuss with leaders of the GNSO SGs and Cs regarding potentially delaying the upcoming GNSO3 Review until the ATRT3 recommendations are implemented and tentatively agreed to develop a response to Marteen's letter<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/botterman-to-gnso-coun…> on this topic. Council leadership met with SG/C leaders on 25 Nov and agreed that the SG/Cs should of course provide their own input, but the Council as a part of the GNSO community, will also provide comment. The attached is a draft response letter in that spirit. It's hopefully quite straightforward and given that it's consistent with the approach taken by the SGs/Cs, I hope you won't mind a deadline by the end of the week for any comment you might have. Regards, Philippe _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ce message et ses pieces jointes peuvent contenir des informations confidentielles ou privilegiees et ne doivent donc pas etre diffuses, exploites ou copies sans autorisation.

Fwd: [Gnso-newgtld-wg] Work Plan Changes and Preliminary Information on Consensus Calls
by Maxim Alzoba 14 Dec '20

14 Dec '20

Hello Berry, I think that the planning PDFs for the 17DEC2020 might contain some dates not fitting the real planning for SubPro PDP (Also it might affect the colour codes of the project).

We strongly recommend that if you were not on the last working group call on 10 December 2020 at 03:00 UTC, please do go back and review at least the first 15-20 minutes of the call. (Link to Call <https://community.icann.org/display/NGSPP/2020-12-07+New+gTLD+Subsequent+Pr….>) > > Although more details will be provided later: > Leadership will be grouping the Topics into batches for purposes of the Consensus Calls. We will not be voting on each recommendation / implementation guidance separately (as there are several hundred of them). > We will do our best to only include in the batches the lesser controversial topics; stated differently, Leadership has a sense of which sections should be supported by either full consensus or (rough) consensus. Of course we could always be wrong, but we will do our best. > i. If there is a batch that contains a part that you do not support, then in the Consensus Call, we will ask you specifically which element or elements do you not support. In other words, if we grouped topics 1,2 and 3 together and you indicate that you do not support the batch, you will be asked to specify which of the Topics you do not support, and which element(s) within that topic you do not support. We will assume that the topics / elements you do not list are ones that you would support. So being specific will be important. > Topics where we can already foresee that there will be a difference of opinion (eg., Closed Generics, Mechanisms of Last Resort), we will make sure we have those topics in the Consensus Call on their own (i.e., not in batches with other topics). > All expressions of support / non support during the Consensus Call MUST be submitted through the formal mailing list. We will not be counting any responses to the Consensus Call that are not submitted on the list. It is critical that all of the information is on the record and documented. > The Consensus Call is NOT A VOTE – Leadership will not be determining levels of support based on the quantity of responses, but will take into consideration other factors such as the groups with whom an individual associates, etc. > We will be following Section 3.6 of the Working Group Guidelines (https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/annex-1-g… <https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/annex-1-g…>). > > Minority Reports are due just 2 days after the designation of Levels of Consensus. We know that is not a lot of time. However, given that we have had a draft final report, comments to the draft final report, extensive discussions of those comments of the draft final report, and you have seen several redlines already, we believe that if you disagree with the way the group is heading, you should pretty much know that now. There is no reason to wait until the designations of levels of support to start drafting. In fact, I am told that the ALAC has already been working on a minority report to certain topics for some time now. Bottom Line – you can start working on any minority report now. The worst thing that will happen is that you draft your report and there is a consensus call surprise where you find out you may not be in the minority and you decide not to submit the statement 😊 > > We are nearly there!!!!!!!!! > > Thanks. > > Your humble Leadership Team, > > Cheryl and Jeff – Co-Chairs > > With very special thanks to Martin, Annabeth, Robin and Flip who have been participating in Leadership calls for many months and providing valuable insight & of course to Steve, Emily and Julie, without whom, none of this would be possible > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Gnso-newgtld-wg mailing list > Gnso-newgtld-wg(a)icann.org <mailto:Gnso-newgtld-wg@icann.org> > https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/gnso-newgtld-wg <https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/gnso-newgtld-wg> > _______________________________________________ > By submitting your personal data, you consent to the processing of your personal data for purposes of subscribing to this mailing list accordance with the ICANN Privacy Policy (https://www.icann.org/privacy/policy <https://www.icann.org/privacy/policy>) and the website Terms of Service (https://www.icann.org/privacy/tos <https://www.icann.org/privacy/tos>).
