Dear Councilors, Thanks Jeff. To assist you and other volunteers in your review of the ICANN70 GAC Communique, staff has put the GAC Consensus Advice to the ICANN Board and Follow-up on Previous Advice into the standard template that the Council has used in the past: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VRQvT-9lYXsROUaUDnZ9vRq-M1EZeHHeh9EAnsZ…. As Jeff notes, the Council has in the past only elected to provide a response to GAC Advice. For Councilors that may be new to this process, the Council’s review and response in regards to the communique is delivered to the ICANN Board, for the Board to have available when considering the GAC Advice. The Council generally aims to adopt the review of the communique at the subsequent Council meeting, which in this case is the 22 April 2021 meeting (with a 12 April motion and documents deadline). Best, Steve From: council <council-bounces(a)gnso.icann.org> on behalf of Jeff Neuman via council <council(a)gnso.icann.org> Reply-To: Jeff Neuman <jeff(a)jjnsolutions.com> Date: Monday, March 29, 2021 at 5:24 AM To: "council(a)gnso.icann.org" <council(a)gnso.icann.org> Subject: [council] Fwd: ICANN70 GAC Communique.pdf Dear Councilors, Please find enclosed the ICANN70 GAC Communique. This is the first communique in over a year that has GAC Consensus Advice. It also includes follow up on previous GAC Advice. The Advice centers around ePDP Phase 2 and follows up on advice regarding SubPro and IGOs. I would also like to remind the Council of several statements from the ICANN Board at ICANN70 acknowledging that the non-consensus advice is also deemed important by the Board and that they hold intersessional meetings to discuss even the things not designated as GAC Advice. Therefore, we may as a Council, want to consider responding to those items as well (even though we have not done so in the past). I would like to ask for some volunteers that want to assist me on drafting the first response to the Communique. Once that small team is finished with the draft, we can then circulate to the full Council. Sincerely, Jeffrey J.

For your review: Council SSAD Small Team draft letter
by Caitlin Tubergen 31 Mar '21

31 Mar '21

Dear Councilors, Further to the discussion from today’s meeting, please provide feedback to the draft SSAD letter to the Board by COB Friday, 26 March: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YjR-YsjqRSTnU0a_bbG3zXUwpeJ7g6cO1kIRudr…. Thank you. Best regards, Caitlin From: Caitlin Tubergen <caitlin.tubergen(a)icann.org> Date: Tuesday, March 23, 2021 at 3:36 PM To: "council(a)gnso.icann.org" <council(a)gnso.icann.org> Subject: Council SSAD Small Team draft letter Dear Councilors: Following the Council's recent engagement with the Board regarding the SSAD consultation, the SSAD Small Team worked together to draft a letter<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YjR-YsjqRSTnU0a_bbG3zXUwpeJ7g6cO1kIRudr…>, confirming the outcomes of the meeting and posing additional questions for the Board's consideration. The letter still has several comments and proposed edits, which have been left in for the sake of transparency (since all commenters may not have had an opportunity to review the most recent edits). For ease of readability, you may wish to review the draft in "viewing" mode to avoid the array of colors. This letter is on the agenda for tomorrow's meeting, and Council leadership will go over it in greater detail tomorrow. We request that you do not make any additional changes to the Google Doc at this time; instead, please express concerns or provide additional comments via the mailing list. Thank you. Best regards, Caitlin
