Re: [council] EPDP Ph2 SSAD ODP and next steps
by philippe.fouquart＠orange.com Jan. 4, 2022

Jan. 4, 2022

Dear Councilors, Dear EPDP Phase 2 members, Dear SG/C Chairs, I trust this finds you all well. Following the informal SSAD ODP update on 20 December, in which representatives from the ICANN Board GDPR Caucus, ICANN org, the GNSO Council and GNSO appointed members of the EPDP Phase 2 team participated, Council leadership has worked with the staff support team on the attached paper which aims to provide a high level outline of the different ideas and suggestions that were made during that meeting. This is intended to serve as a basis for further discussions within the GNSO community for how to prepare for next steps in the consultation with the ICANN Board, which is in the process of being scheduled. To continue our conversation, obtain further input on possible next steps and assess whether there is possible convergence concerning next steps, we would like to schedule another call for the Council and GNSO appointed members of the EPDP Phase 2 on Wednesday 12 January at 6.00 UTC (a calendar invite will follow shortly). Of course, if there are any ideas or suggestions that have not been captured in the paper, or any new ones that have come to mind since our last meeting, please feel free to share these by replying all to this email. And Best Wishes for the New Year. Regards, Philippe From: FOUQUART Philippe INNOV/NET Sent: Friday, December 3, 2021 4:15 PM To: 'council(a)gnso.icann.org' <council(a)gnso.icann.org> Cc: gnso-secs(a)icann.org Subject: EPDP Ph2 SSAD ODP and next steps Dear Councilors, For those that have attended the recent SSAD ODP Webinars, you may be aware that the SSAD ODP Team is in the process of finalizing its analysis, including its work on the SSAD Cost Model. As a result, the Council requested consultation with the ICANN Board is expected to be scheduled in January 2022. To prepare accordingly for this consultation and possible next steps, Council leadership has worked with the staff support team to put forward the following proposed schedule: * 16 December 2021 at 14.00 UTC - GNSO Council meeting to discuss the approach outlined in this email * 20 December 2021 at 21.00 UTC - Update session on SSAD ODP, including SSAD Cost Model information for Council and GNSO appointed EPDP Team members (closed session) * Between 21 December and January 2022, GNSO Council with input from SG/Cs to prepare for GNSO Council - ICANN Board consultation (e.g. informal conversations, formal meetings, mailing list discussion, small team - to be discussed) * January 2022 (date TBC) - GNSO Council & ICANN Board consultation Although at this stage we do not have any further insight into what the SSAD Cost Model will tell us or how it may, or may not, change the positions on the SSAD recommendations, there are roughly three scenarios that can be anticipated: 1. ICANN Board determines that the adoption of the recommendations is in the best interest of the ICANN community and ICANN and adopts the SSAD recommendations - no further action expected from the GNSO Council at this stage; 2. ICANN Board determines that the adoption of the recommendation is not in the best interest of the ICANN community or ICANN and does not adopt all or part of the recommendations - the GNSO Council will be requested to affirm or modify its recommendations in the form of a "Supplemental Recommendation". 3. The GNSO Council decides to avail itself of section 16 ("Amendments or Modifications of Approved Policies") and agrees to modify or amend the recommendations before the ICANN Board considers the recommendations for approval. To be clear, Council Leadership does not want to get ahead of the discussion and as such, we are not making any kind of prediction about which scenario is most likely, but we would like the Council and SG/Cs to start thinking about these scenarios and consider what is needed to be prepared for the next steps. Our main objective here is to make sure that conversations within the GNSO as well as with the ICANN Board are constructive and effective - it is on all of us to work towards an approach and outcome that we are all willing and able to defend and live with. Please come prepared to share your feedback during the Council meeting on 16 December. Of course, you are encouraged to already start the conversation on the mailing list.

Reminder - FY23 Additional Budget Request (ABR) suggestions for Council activities
by philippe.fouquart＠orange.com Jan. 3, 2022

Jan. 3, 2022

Dear Councilors, Best Wishes for the New Year everyone, hope you had a nice festive season. As a smooth transition hopefully and to encourage further thinking about possible ABRs the Council could suggest, I would recommend you review requests that have been approved in recent years, including those of the GNSO Council (see for example https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=96213595 or https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=134513539) Similarly, the recent SPS and the action items that have resulted from it (see https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2021/presentation/gnso-co…) may inspire some further ideas. We are looking forward to hearing your suggestions. As a reminder, requests will need to be submitted by 24 January 2022 at the latest. Best regards, Philippe From: FOUQUART Philippe INNOV/NET Sent: Monday, December 6, 2021 6:28 PM To: 'council(a)gnso.icann.org' <council(a)gnso.icann.org> Cc: 'gnso-secs(a)icann.org' <gnso-secs(a)icann.org> Subject: FY23 Additional Budget Request (ABR) suggestions for Council activities Dear Councilors, As you may be aware, ICANN org recently hosted a webinar explaining the process and timeline for the FY23 SO-AC Community Additional Budget Request (ABR). An initial Additional Budget Request (ABR) envelope of USD 300,000 will be included in the draft Fiscal Year 2023 (FY23) ICANN Operating Plan and Budget. ABR requests are expected to reflect potential ICANN community activities that are not already included in the annual ICANN OP&B. The ABR process helps the ICANN Board and ICANN org better understand and develop resources for present and future ICANN community needs. Successful previous Council ABR requests include support for Council Strategic Planning Session and the development of the Consensus Playbook. In light of the recent Council SPS, I would like to encourage you to think about activities or tools that could be piloted as an ABR to assist the Council in achieving its objectives for the coming year. We have added this topic to the upcoming Council meeting but I would like to encourage you to share any ideas or suggestions you may have in advance of that meeting. Requests will need to be submitted by 24 January 2022 at the latest. Once the Council agrees on requests it may want to submit, leadership and the staff support team can assist in compiling the requested information to complete the application, namely: 1. Purpose and scope of the proposed activity 2. Direct alignment of the proposed activity with the ICANN mission and current strategic plan 3. Demonstrable relationship of the proposed activity to ongoing policy, advisory, or technical work 4. Expected impact of the proposed activity 5. Estimated resources required for implementation of the proposed activity For further information, please see the recent webinar<https://community.icann.org/x/eIPOCg> and https://community.icann.org/x/_w6HCg. Looking forward to hearing your suggestions.
