GNSO liaison to the GAC - Proposed updates
by philippe.fouquart＠orange.com 13 Sep '21

13 Sep '21

Dear Councilors, As you may recall, Council leadership took as an action item to develop proposed language to further clarify the role and expectations in relation to the GNSO Council Liaison to the GAC from the perspective of the Council. Based on the input received during the different discussions, you will find attached our proposed updates. As a reminder, the original document describing the role and responsibilities of the GNSO Liaison to the GAC was developed by the GAC-GNSO Consultation Group many years ago (2014) and used to launch the first call for applications to fill the role of GNSO Liaison to the GAC. Throughout the years, several updates were made, for example, to reflect that the SSC has been assigned the responsibility to review the applications, the change from F2F to virtual meetings and the requirement to provide an annual report to the Council. These updates and some further proposed updates have also been reflected in the form of redline changes in the attached. However, we would like to request you to focus your attention on the changes highlighted in yellow, which, per the Council's discussion, aim to further clarify the Council's expectations with regard to the Liaison's responsibility and interaction with the Council. Leadership has also suggested some updates to the renewal section to bring it more in line with other appointments. As this does not affect the Liaison's responsibilities towards the GAC, we don't anticipate a formal consultation with the GAC is necessary about these changes, but as part of ongoing conversations with the GAC leadership, we will update our GAC counterpart accordingly. Please share any feedback or suggestions you may have via the mailing list by 5 September 2021. Hopefully we can resolve and address any comments or suggestions you may have online so that we can formally accept this updated version at one of our September Council meeting. Best regards, 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.

Re: [council] SSAD ODP liaison report - August 2021
by philippe.fouquart＠orange.com 30 Aug '21

30 Aug '21

Dear Councilors, A reminder to provide any input you may have on this report and the comment on EPDP Ph2 recommendation 14.3. Please do so by the end of the week. If you would like this on an AOB agenda item on Thursday, please let the list know. Thanks. All the best, Philippe From: FOUQUART Philippe INNOV/NET Sent: Friday, August 6, 2021 12:25 PM To: 'council(a)gnso.icann.org' <council(a)gnso.icann.org> Cc: 'Janis Karklins' <karklinsj(a)gmail.com>; gnso-secs(a)icann.org; 'Caitlin Tubergen' <caitlin.tubergen(a)icann.org>; 'Yuko Green' <yuko.green(a)icann.org> Subject: SSAD ODP liaison report - August 2021 Dear Councilors, Please find the report from our liaison to the SSAD ODP. Thanks for this, Janis. In particular note the question raised about recommendation 14.3 and transparency around the SSAD funding and financials aspects, and the associated response. Comments and feedback are obviously welcome. Regards, Philippe From: Janis Karklins [mailto:karklinsj@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, August 6, 2021 7:24 AM To: FOUQUART Philippe INNOV/NET <philippe.fouquart(a)orange.com<mailto:philippe.fouquart@orange.com>> Cc: Caitlin Tubergen <caitlin.tubergen(a)icann.org<mailto:caitlin.tubergen@icann.org>>; Yuko Green <yuko.green(a)icann.org<mailto:yuko.green@icann.org>> Subject: Dear Philippe, Pls see below my next report to the GNSO Council which I submit in my role as the liaison to the SSAD ODP Team. Thank you for circulating it to the Councilors. Best regards JK Dear Councilors: I am including a short summary of my latest monthly meeting with ICANN org’s SSAD ODP team from 3 August below. I informed the SSAD ODP team about my short presentation during the recent GNSO Council meeting on 22 July. I explained that I provided my responses to ICANN org’s assumptions regarding the EPDP Phase 2 recommendations in advance of the meeting and asked the Council if anyone had questions or concerns. Having heard no concerns, I thanked the Council for its time and committed to provide updates regarding future meetings with the SSAD ODP Team and future questions regarding ICANN org’s assumptions. The SSAD ODP team informed me that multiple surveys are out for response. Both the survey to Contracted Parties and the survey to the wider ICANN community<https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ssadodpcommunity> have an updated deadline of mid-August due to low participation. A separate survey to the GAC<https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/odp-ssad/2021-July/000014.html> has a response deadline on 17 September. Because the team is waiting for survey responses during the month of August, the next community webinar date will likely occur in September. Lastly, the SSAD ODP Team identified another question and assumption they wished to discuss with me regarding recommendation 14. The assumption and my response is annexed to this message for your information. The SSAD ODP Team plans, pending no objection from the GNSO Council, to proceed with its work on the basis of this assumption (and the previously articulated assumptions) and my response thereto. The verified assumptions will be used by the ODP Team as it works on an assessment to inform the Board’s review of the EPDP Phase 2 policy recommendations. I plan to meet with the SSAD ODP team again in early September and will provide another update at that time. Please let me know if you have any questions. Best regards JK Question/Assumption Liaison's comment Recommendation 14.3 states: “The prospective users of the SSAD, as determined based on the implementation of the accreditation process and Identity Providers to be used, should be consulted on setting usage fees for the SSAD. In particular, those potential SSAD requestors who are not part of the ICANN community must have the opportunity to comment and interact with the IRT. This input should help inform the IRT deliberations on this topic.” Recommendation 14.4 further notes that the SSAD should be a self-sustaining system. Assumption: ICANN org assumes the high-level financial details related to a self-sustaining SSAD will be shared with the ICANN community for the purposes of transparency, and the overall cost of running the system will be determined by ICANN org to ensure self-sustainability. Assumption is correct. The fees level may need to be reviewed over time based on acquired experience running the SSAD. Such a review should be evidence based and subject of transparent process of consultations with ICANN stakeholders and SSAD users outside ICANN community. For sake of accuracy: 14.4 states: “The SSAD SHOULD NOT be considered a profit-generating platform for ICANN or the contracted parties.” Notion of self-sustainability does not exclude possibility of profit generation which goes against the adopted policy. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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.
