Seeking Councilor for chairing the Council Committee for Overseeing and Implementing Continuous Improvement
by philippe.fouquart＠orange.com Aug. 16, 2021

Aug. 16, 2021

Dear Councilors, In addition to the SG/C/NomCom representatives that are in the process of being appointed to the Council Committee for Overseeing and Implementing Continuous Improvement (CCOICI), the Framework document also foresees that "the committee would be chaired by a member of the Council who would serve in ex-officio capacity". Who would be willing to volunteer for this role? Taking into account that quite a few Council members are leaving us in October, maybe we should also consider an incoming Council member if he/she would be willing to take on this responsibility? For further information about the role and responsibilities of the Council Committee, please see https://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/continuous-improvement-oversight-implement…. I look forward to receiving your feedback and/or suggestions.

PLEASE READ: Request from Council leadership in relation to the IGO Work Track
by Mary Wong July 30, 2021

July 30, 2021

SENT ON BEHALF OF THE GNSO COUNCIL LEADERSHIP TEAM Dear Councilors, Please review the request below from Philippe and the GNSO Council leadership team. Thank you. After the 22 July Council meeting, leadership has given additional thought to the agenda item regarding the IGO Work Track. As we discussed during the call, there were three components that we wanted to bring to your attention: 1. The need for a Program Change Request as a result of public comment moratorium – there were no objections on the call. 2. The ability of the IGO Work Track to develop Consensus Policy recommendations – this is the area we will focus on for immediate next steps. 3. Whether the IGO Work Track’s draft recommendations are “generally consistent” with the original IGO PDP Working Group’s recommendations #1-4 – to be addressed in the future. Council leadership considers #1 above as done and would like to consider #2 and #3 separately: #2 should be considered now and #3 can be considered at a later date. For #2, Council leadership has consulted with staff and, as a result, we request that the Council consider what appears to be the most sensible path forward to ensure that any forthcoming Consensus Policy recommendations from the IGO Work Track have proper procedural standing; viz., convene an expedited PDP (EPDP) on IGOs. Further, this EPDP should be convened with the same scope of work and structure as is currently outlined in the Addendum [gnso.icann.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/…>, to the greatest extent possible. What this would entail is: (1) preparing an EPDP initiation request; and (2) migrating the content of the Addendum to an EPDP Charter. Please consult with your respective SG/Cs and note any objections to this proposed direction by 6 August 2021. Best regards, Philippe

Re: [council] Interest for the Effectiveness Review of the Customer Standing Committee
by philippe.fouquart＠orange.com July 28, 2021

July 28, 2021

Dear Councilors, In light of the absence of response, the diversity within the CSC does not seem to be critical (and that's quite consistent with our initial thinking within leadership). We will take that forward with the RySG and try and come up with a consistent team for the review. Thanks. Philippe From: FOUQUART Philippe INNOV/NET Sent: Thursday, July 15, 2021 3:21 PM To: council(a)gnso.icann.org Subject: Interest for the Effectiveness Review of the Customer Standing Committee Dear councilors, By the end of August, we will need to appoint our GNSO members for the effectiveness review of the Customer Standing Committee. According to the CSC charter, the effectiveness of the CSC is reviewed two years after the first meeting [2 years, that was back in 2018] and then every three years thereafter (this is now). The method of review will be determined by the ccNSO and GNSO. Our initial thought within the leadership was to replicate the approach we adopted in 2018 and which worked extremely well, both in terms of the small size of the team (2 GNSO + 2 CCs), and the composition with the ccNSO liaison being one member and a RySG member would be another. Last time we did that, however, it so happened that our liaison to the ccNSO Council wasn't from the RySG (I happened to be that liaison at the time). Having discussed this within the leadership, we appreciate this is of interest mostly to the registries, but we don't want to let it go unnoticed if there is an interest from other groups to put forward a member for this CSC effectiveness review team. If you or your group have an interest in taking part, would you please say so by the end of next week? (July 23rd) Thank you.
