Updated: RPM PDP Phase 1 Recommendations Report
by Ariel Liang 10 Feb '21

10 Feb '21

Dear Councilors, On behalf of the RPM staff support team, I’m sending an updated RPM PDP Phase 1 Recommendations Report (please find attached). Specifically, the only change is the final two paragraphs of “Section 4. Period of Time Needed to Implement Recommendations” on pp.7-8; the text is reproduced below: As with all other GNSO Council Recommendations Reports, an estimated time period needed to implement Phase 1 final recommendations (as outlined in the paragraph below) is included solely to provide the Board with preliminary information on a rough potential implementation timeframe. At this stage, the recommendations will not have been subject to detailed implementation planning and, as such, the estimate does not take into account other ICANN org or community work that may impact the timing, staffing, and resourcing required for implementation. The estimate is based largely on experiences with other recent and/or comparable implementation exercises, but it is important to note that there are unlikely to be close similarities in most cases. In addition, there may also be additional resource limitations in place by the time implementation begins. With the above-noted caveats in mind, Policy Development Support staff estimate that the expected workload means that implementation of the Phase 1 final recommendations could take a minimum of two (2) years following Board adoption. However, a significant factor that is likely to impact the final implementation timeline is the timing of the approval of the SubPro PDP recommendations (including whether the Board also initiates an Operational Design Phase to plan for the SubPro implementation). We hope this update helps clarify the context for the implementation timeline estimation, reflecting the input received. Thank you, Ariel From: Jeff Neuman <jeff(a)jjnsolutions.com> Date: Tuesday, February 9, 2021 at 3:20 PM To: Mary Wong <mary.wong(a)icann.org>, Ariel Liang <ariel.liang(a)icann.org>, "council(a)gnso.icann.org" <council(a)gnso.icann.org> Subject: [Ext] RE: [council] RPM PDP Phase 1 Recommendations Report Thank you Mary for the explanation and I think the changes you recommend would be positive. Context is key especially because people outside of the GNSO and ICANN read these things and it sets expectations not just of the Board and community, but for third parties. Perhaps not as huge issue for RPMs Phase 1, but for something like SubPro where prospective applicants are watching everything produced by ICANN and the community to get a clear message on if and when the next round will be, these documents matter. They will be spending actual real money on preparations. What we say, whether it is the Working Group, the Council, ICANN staff, or the ICANN Board, matters. I personally think the fact that others watch what we do and rely on it is one of the rewarding aspects of participating in the Multi-stakeholder model. Thanks again! Sincerely, Jeff [cid:image001.png@01D6FFD4.333FFEF0] Jeffrey J. Neuman Founder & CEO JJN Solutions, LLC p: +1.202.549.5079 E: jeff(a)jjnsolutions.com<mailto:jeff@jjnsolutions.com> http://jjnsolutions.com From: Mary Wong <mary.wong(a)icann.org> Sent: Tuesday, February 9, 2021 1:56 PM To: Jeff Neuman <jeff(a)jjnsolutions.com>; Ariel Liang <ariel.liang(a)icann.org>; council(a)gnso.icann.org Subject: Re: [council] RPM PDP Phase 1 Recommendations Report Hello Jeff and everyone, I’m responding on behalf of the RPM staff support team, with thanks to Jeff for reviewing the document so quickly. The short answer to Jeff’s question is that the estimate is suggested by Policy staff based on recent or comparable policy implementation exercises (recognizing that it is usually not possible to have close similarities in most cases). In this instance, the most recent implementation effort was for the Consensus Policy on Red Cross National Society names. The Board adopted the final PDP recommendations in January 2019 and the final policy text was published in January 2020 (following a public comment period), with the policy becoming effective in August 2020. As Councilors may recall, this exercise was a fairly limited, well-defined one that relied mainly on org staff working with the Red Cross representatives, where the IRT was a continuation of the previous one for implementing the broader Consensus Policy on IGO-INGO full names (and it was of course regularly updated and consulted). For RPMs, we anticipate that a substantial part of the implementation work will similarly involve org staff working with the various RPM service providers (TMCH validation, TMCH database, URS, TM-PDDRP) with the guidance of the IRT. Please note that both the Recommendations Report and the Council’s Program Management Tool contain only rough estimates by Policy staff at the current time, as at this stage detailed implementation planning will not have commenced. As such, these estimates are not based on a specific project plan and, due to the timing, cannot reflect staffing and other resource availability or limitations that may be in place once the IRT is formed. For RPMs, our understanding is the Program Management Tool (which, prior to the drafting of the Recommendations Report, has a placeholder minimum estimate of 1 calendar year) will be updated as more implementation planning work is done, especially with GDS staff leading this phase of work following Board adoption of the PDP recommendations. In hindsight, for greater clarity it seems that we should include this contextual information in all GNSO Council Recommendations Reports going forward. I believe Steve and the GNSO team have already taken note of this need. As such, staff would like to suggest that, for the RPM Phase 1 Recommendations Report, we insert additional clarifying text to minimize any confusion and to explain the limitations of requiring an estimate at this stage of the process. We will circulate an updated document to the Council as soon as feasible, highlighting these changes. Thanks and cheers Mary From: council <council-bounces(a)gnso.icann.org<mailto:council-bounces@gnso.icann.org>> on behalf of Jeff Neuman <jeff(a)jjnsolutions.com<mailto:jeff@jjnsolutions.com>> Date: Tuesday, February 9, 2021 at 8:50 AM To: Ariel Liang <ariel.liang(a)icann.org<mailto:ariel.liang@icann.org>>, "council(a)gnso.icann.org<mailto:council@gnso.icann.org>" <council(a)gnso.icann.org<mailto:council@gnso.icann.org>> Subject: Re: [council] RPM PDP Phase 1 Recommendations Report Ariel, Thanks for the Recommendations Report. On Page 7 it states: “In view of the expected workload, resource allocation, and the need for coordination with other parallel efforts, implementation of the Phase 1 final recommendations may take a minimum of two (2) years following Board adoption. However, this timeline is likely to be impacted by the timing of the approval of the SubPro PDP recommendations (including whether the Board also initiates an Operational Design Phase to plan for the SubPro implementation” Can you explain in some more detail what is behind the 2 years minimum estimate from the time the Board approves (and presumably longer if implementing in conjunction with SubPro)? If the Board approves this in 3 months (after a new public comment period), we are talking about implementation in May 2023 at the earliest which seems like a very long time. I think my questions boil down to: 1. Line 152 (Section 1.2.1.5) of the Program Tool sets IRT engagement at 270 days from Board Approval (9 Months). How did we get to 2 years? 2. Is there a more detailed draft project plan that is not incorporated into the tool? 3. Who within ICANN staff puts together that section of the Recommendations Report and by accepting the staff generated Recommendations Report is the Council endorsing the timeline? Thanks in advance.

EPDP-P2A // January Project Package
by policy＠bacinblack.com 08 Feb '21

08 Feb '21

Dear all, Please find attached the EPDP-P2A's January project package. This will be produced monthly to provide detailed status and health of the project as part of the PDP3.0 implementation. The package contains: 1. Summary timeline 2. Project Sitrep - an extract from the Project List 3. Project Plan 4. Work Plan + Action Items (current & complete) On behalf of the EPDP-P2A Chair, Keith Drazek, this email also acts as the formal commitment to deliver an Initial Report by 31 May 2021. This date is two months after the Chair's report back to the GNSO Council on the status of deliberations and likelihood of consensus recommendations (see resolution <https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions/2020#20201021> ). It is anticipated that the EPDP-P2A Chair will provide the status update to the Council during ICANN70. The May 2021 date was determined by the leadership team as being more reasonable given the groups slower than expected start and elements of substance and interest from the various parties proved a bit more complicated than anticipated. The project package is a part of the 18 Feb 2021 Council agenda, under AoB. Please advise if you have questions in the meantime.

Terms of Reference
by Flip Petillion 08 Feb '21

08 Feb '21

Dear Colleagues, Further to our development session call of this morning, here is an article on the Terms of Reference in commercial arbitration proceedings. It describes what these Terms are about and what they are meant for. The concept can be an inspiration for complementing PDPs. Now, PDPs have a Charter. At some early point in the PDP WG’s activities, Group and Constituency representatives could be asked to contribute to Terms of Reference reflecting each other’s interests, views and goals. This approach may add clarity to the respective expectations and positions quite soon in the process. 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
