The Co-Chairs have determined that additional time is needed to accommodate substantive work, resulting in the WG missing its mid-October delivery date for the Final Report. The Co-Chairs are therefore submitting a Project Change Request.

A small team was convened to further develop the proposed approach for priority 2 items and present to the full Council for its consideration at a future date. The small team worked on its proposal<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/docs.google.com/document/d/1FMSpEJHWdnNh…>, which was shared with the Council on 11 August 2020 and discussed on the August Council call.

After the recommendations were approved by the ICANN Board, the informal IRT transitioned to a formal IRT and has diligently been working to implement the policy recommendations. Within the IRT, there are diverging views amongst some IRT members on how to implement recommendation 7, especially in relation to the Thick WHOIS Transition Policy for .COM, .NET, and .JOBS The ICANN Board, taking note of the potential impasse, sent a letter [gnso.icann.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/…> to the GNSO Council on 11 March 2020. The Council considered the letter and agreed that recommendation 7 did not explicitly overturn the Thick Whois Transition Policy; to do so will require the GNSO Council to initiate policy development. The Council sent a response [icann.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspond…> to the ICANN Board on 29 May 2020. The IRT has continued to try and implement recommendation 7 but has still been unable to reach agreement. As such and per the Council’s letter, the Council is requesting a briefing from, ”the GNSO Council liaison detailing the precise nature of the impasse so that the GNSO Council can make an informed determination on how to proceed.” Here, the Council will receive a briefing from the GNSO Council liaison to the IRT. 7.1 - Introduction of topic (GNSO Council liaison to the EPDP Phase 1 IRT, Sebastien Ducos) 7.2 – Council discussion 7.3 – Next steps Item 8: COUNCIL DISCUSSION - Q&A with GNSO Chair Candidate (15 minutes) The Non-Contracted Parties House has nominated Philippe Fouquart as its candidate for the GNSO Chair election.

While 2020 has proven challenging and likely very different from what we were all expecting when we last saw each other almost a year ago in Montréal, the Board and I keep being impressed and grateful for your continued dedication to ICANN’s mission. The Board still values its dialogue with your groups and is very much looking forward to engaging with you during our 22nd and first ever virtual Annual General Meeting that will take place between 13-22 October 2020. As you keep working on the format for ICANN69, we would like to start preparing for community dialogue with the Board. As per what we did in Montréal and virtually for ICANN67, 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 will also publish the list of questions or topics received using this digest as a successful tool for improving transparency and allowing other groups to deepen their own understanding of their peers’ point of view on different issues. As for time allocation, per what we did previously, 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 has chosen the following topic to have an open discussion with you: · Enhancing the effectiveness of the multistakeholder model - key issues and opportunities for acceleration. In your preparation, you may want to consider the results of the most recent public consultation and the work that has progressed with dependencies to enhancing the effectiveness of the multistakeholder model, such as the Accountability and Transparency Review Team (ATRT3) Final Report and work on prioritization and budgeting). We would be very grateful if you could send to Board Operations, board-ops-team(a)icann.org, your single topic or list of questions, in order of priority, no later than Monday, 5 October 2020 or sooner. For your information, we are not changing the current total time allotted per group. We look forward to hearing your thoughts, questions or topics of interest and to exchange with you constructively and virtually.

Correcting the Record on UAM
by Marie Pattullo 12 Sep '20

12 Sep '20

Hi Keith, Trust all goes well, and that you and yours stay well in these... interesting times. We wanted to correct the record regarding your characterization of the UAM on the September 3, 2020 Council call. To paraphrase, it sounded like you said that European guidance precluded the EPDP from developing a centralized/UAM-style SSAD. On the contrary, the Belgian DPA merely wrote that "...it is not possible to make a determination"[1] based only on the level of detail in ICANN's UAM proposal. The Belgian DPA clarified that policy questions around "who gets access to what, and under what conditions, for how long, as well as other relevant safeguards"[2] are "extremely important when assessing whether the model which is ultimately developed complies with the requirements of GDPR."[3] To eliminate any remaining doubt, after the EPDP team misinterpreted this letter as decrying the UAM, the Belgian DPA explicitly clarified its position during its February 14, 2020 meeting[4] with ICANN staff. Göran Marby, President and CEO of ICANN, reported from that meeting: With respect to the possibility of developing a centralized model that is GDPR-compliant, the representatives said that the letter from the Belgian DPA was intended as encouragement to continue efforts to develop a comprehensive system for access. They said that the letter was not meant to deter the development of a centralized model. Rather, the Belgian DPA's representatives said a centralized model is worth exploring and it seems to be a better, "common sense" option in terms of security and for data subjects.[5] As a final example, the Bird & Bird memo to the EPDP on automation and centralized decision-making noted that the scenario presented where ICANN makes disclosure decisions centrally "offers least risk of liability to CPs."[6] So, while rejecting a centralized/UAM model may have been a policy preference for some parties, it was not an inevitable outcome. We hope this clarifies any potential misunderstanding, including if it was our misunderstanding that your statements concluded that the EPDP was blocked from developing a centralized UAM.
