For your review: Rec. 12 Small Team clarifying questions for Becky
by Caitlin Tubergen 10 Dec '21

10 Dec '21

Dear Councilors, The EPDP Phase 1, Rec. 12 Small Team was tasked to review the Board’s understanding, as articulated in its most recent letter<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/botterman…>, of the intent and impact of Recommendation 12 and (i) confirm the Board’s understanding or (ii) prepare clarification questions or concerns to submit to Becky Burr (the Rec. 12 board shepherd) in advance of the meeting between the Small Team and Becky. The Small Team is in agreement with all of the Board's assumptions, barring a few perceived textual imprecisions that they would like to clarify with Becky. Here is a link to the Small Team’s follow-up clarifications/questions: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wbqxfnrnRqNYjqqjpz3qyPDO7sn1Xc5RanBjEiD…. Please review the document and provide any additional concerns or edits by Friday, 10 December. The Small Team would like to meet with Becky prior to the ICANN office closure, so we appreciate your timely feedback. Best regards, Caitlin -- Caitlin Tubergen Policy Director – GNSO ICANN

Liaison to the GAC and Review of the GAC Communiqué
by philippe.fouquart＠orange.com 29 Nov '21

29 Nov '21

Dear Councilors, Leadership would like to start a conversation on a number of items that are related to the role of the GNSO Council Liaison to the GAC as well as the GNSO Council review of the GAC Communiqué. As you may recall, there are a number of recommendations that Jeff put forward in the report he shared with the Council in October (see https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2021-October/025067.html), which in summary focused on; 1. If and how the GNSO should or could be more responsive to the GAC; 2. Interaction of GAC-GNSO bilateral meetings; 3. How to focus more on agreements instead of differences; 4. Include more substantive responses in the GNSO Council review of the GAC Communiqué, and; 5. GNSO to provide its own policy reports / talking points to the GAC prior to ICANN Meetings. Similarly, questions arose during the small team work on the review of the GAC Communiqué about the intent and objective of this exercise. The attached small team assignment form provides some additional detail about the current objective as well as the way the review has been conducted over the last 5+ years. However, as the origin of the review dates back to 2015, it is probably time to review whether it is still fit for purpose, and if not, consider if/how it can be adjusted. In relation to this specific item, leadership would propose that a first step in this process would be to reach out informally to the GNSO appointed Board members to see if this review still serves its original purpose as the concept was developed at the time in response to a suggestion from a Board member. Based on that feedback, the Council can then consider how to proceed. In relation to the other items, Jeff made some specific proposals but we would also like to hear from you whether: 1. You agree that further work is needed on items 1-5 above; 2. If yes, identify if/how this can be achieved. To facilitate your input, we've created a google doc that you can use to share your thoughts, see https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NdMrEL54iqJRvQTZ1qN7JgkrEvvAw5Dm/edit. Once we have sufficient input received, we can schedule this for further discussion during one of our upcoming Council meetings. Best regards, Sébastien, Tomslin & 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.
