CORRECTION: GNSO Council resolutions 16 June 2021
by Nathalie Peregrine June 17, 2021

June 17, 2021

Dear councilors, Please note that upon closer review, we have realised that there is an error in resolved clause 1 which is referring to the "third resolved clause below" instead of the "fourth resolved clause below", which is what was the intent per the original amendment submitted. We have updated this accordingly. If there are any concerns about correcting this administrative error, please share this with the Council mailing list. Pending no objection received, the updated resolution will be posted to the GNSO website. Thank you, Nathalie ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Dear all, Please find below the resolution from the GNSO Council meeting on Wednesday 16 June 2021 which will be posted shortly on the GNSO resolutions<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__gnso.icann.org_en_coun…> page. 20210616 Motion to initiate the GNSO Framework for Continuous Improvement Pilot Project Submitted by Tatiana Tropina Seconded by Kurt Pritz Whereas, 1. Council leadership started conversations with the GNSO Council and GNSO community, via Stakeholder Group and Constituency Chairs, on how to address several items on the Council’s Action Decision Radar (ADR) 0-1 month timeframe dealing with process and procedural improvements such as Accountability Work Stream 2, Accountability and Transparency Review Team 3 and PDP 3.0. 2. This resulted in a proposed GNSO Framework for Continuous Improvement Oversight and Implementation. Following the circulation of an initial proposal in January 2021, Council leadership solicited feedback via email as well as a dedicated call with SG/C Chairs as well as Council. Taking into account the input received, an updated proposal was circulated to the Council and SG/C Chairs on 26 May 2021 (see https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2021-May/024730.html) 3. This updated proposal includes a proposed pilot which allows for a more limited roll out of the Framework from which lessons can be drawn and possible updates can be made, should the Council and GNSO community decide that it is worthwhile to continue. 4. The Council and SG/C Chairs reviewed this updated proposal. Resolved, 1. The GNSO Council initiates the GNSO Framework for Continuous Improvement Pilot as outlined in section 4 of this document<https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/attachments/20210526/8995c911/GNSOFr…> where step 4 of Section 4 is replaced with the fourth resolved clause below. 2. The GNSO Council requests the GNSO Secretariat to circulate the call for volunteers to form the Council Committee for Overseeing and Implementing Continuous Improvement. 3. Once formed, the GNSO Council expects regular updates from the Chair of the Council Committee to the Council as well as SG/Cs in relation to progress made. 4. Once the pilot completes, the Council, in close collaboration with SG/Cs as well as the Council Committee and Pilot Task Force, will review the functioning of the Framework and decide whether to continue with the other assignments as outlined in the updated proposal (see section 3<https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/attachments/20210526/8995c911/GNSOFr…>), make modifications to the framework and continue with the other assignments, or, identify another path through which the assignments identified are to be addressed. 5. For the time being, the items that are expected to be addressed as part of the Framework (inlc. WS2, Policy & Implementation, PDP 3.0, Empowered Community, ATRT3, GNSO Review) will be moved to a section in the ADR with no timeframe associated with them as the timing will be determined as a result of the pilot. However, this does not prevent the Council from determining if one or more of these items need to be addressed in a different manner before the pilot concludes, for example, as a result of external factors or changes in the dependencies that were identified (see section 5<https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/attachments/20210526/8995c911/GNSOFr…>). Vote results [gnso.icann.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/polic…> Thank you, Kind regards, Nathalie

Re: [council] [Ext] RE: GNSO Council Wrap-Up - Proposed Agenda
by Marika Konings June 17, 2021

June 17, 2021

For those interested, here is a redline comparison between the 2016 version and the 2020 call for volunteers. The only updates that were made were to reflect that meetings might be virtual and the requirement for the liaison to produce an annual report to assist the Council in its review and possible renewal of the appointment. As the requirements were originally adopted by the GNSO Council, in consultation with the GAC, our understanding is that any substantive changes would need to go through a similar process. Hopefully this is helpful. Best regards, Marika From: Jeff Neuman <jeff(a)jjnsolutions.com> Date: Thursday, 17 June 2021 at 10:39 To: Marika Konings <marika.konings(a)icann.org>, Tom Dale <tomwdale(a)gmail.com>, Steve Chan <steve.chan(a)icann.org>, "council(a)gnso.icann.org" <council(a)gnso.icann.org> Subject: [Ext] RE: [council] GNSO Council Wrap-Up - Proposed Agenda All, For today’s call on Agenda item 4, I would like to suggest that we use this: https://community.icann.org/display/GSSC/GAC+Liaison+-+2020 as the basis for the discussion since this is the job/role description under which I submitted. I freely admit this may be the same as what Marika and Tom have pointed out below, but without any reliable redline tool, there is no way to be sure.

The GAC and GNSO Council agreed that additional time was needed to fully evaluate this pilot program and as such requested, and received, support for continuing the pilot program in FY16. 3.
