CPH letter to ICANN org on DNS Abuse now
by DiBiase, Gregory Nov. 9, 2022

Nov. 9, 2022

Dear GNSO Councillors, As you may recall, a recommendation in the DNS Abuse small team report was to consult with contracted parties re: potential issues with the existing accreditation agreements with ICANN. It seems Contracted Parties may be ahead of the curve and have sent a CPH letter to ICANN org re: DNS Abuse provisions in their contracts (see https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/heineman-demetriou-to-…) . I am flagging it here for everyone's reference. Thanks, Greg

FY 2024 Additional Budget Request Process
by Steve Chan Nov. 8, 2022

Nov. 8, 2022

Dear Councilors, Many of you likely already saw the announcement<https://www.icann.org/en/announcements/details/icann-launches-fiscal-year-2…> for the launch of the FY 2024 Additional Budget Request (ABR) process but nevertheless, I wanted to make sure you all are aware. As noted in the announcement, there is an informational webinar on Thursday, 08 December 2022, at 16:00 UTC, which you will need to register<https://icann.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJIocOivrTwqEt3eWWHiIJx_L1VOjXfS9-ou> for in order to join. The deadline for ABR submissions is 30 January 2023. The Council has successfully made use of the ABR process in the past, which includes the Council’s Strategic Planning Session and travel support funding for WG leadership; both of these requests have since become part of ICANN org’s core budget and are funded annually. The other successful Council ABR that bears mentioning is the Consensus Playbook<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/pdp-3-4-c…>. It is worth reviewing the ABR Principles<https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=181306232&preview=…> to get a better sense of what constitutes an appropriate ABR. Lastly, just to give you a sense of how the process has worked in the past for the Council, it generally starts with a suggestion from a Councilor and if it seems like there is general support for the idea, the idea is then fleshed out in the ABR Request Form. As the ABR deadline has generally been just after the Council’s SPS in January, the SPS has been utilized as the last call for comments/suggestions/objections to the draft ABRs. If you would like to suggest any Council ABRs, I would encourage you to share with the Council list. If you have any questions about past ABRs or the current process, please let us know.

FW: Document and Motion deadline | Monday 07 November 2022 at 23:59 UTC for GNSO Council Meeting 17 November 2022 at 05:00 UTC
by Aikman-Scalese, Anne Nov. 8, 2022

Nov. 8, 2022

Dear Councilors, Jeff Neuman asked that his email below be forwarded to the Council List. It clarifies a recent announcement from ICANN Org regarding what Org terms "Work Track 6" of Sub Pro. This is not a reference to any work track language that was in the Sub Pro Final Report. See Jeff's note below for more detail. Anne Anne E. Aikman-Scalese Of Counsel AAikman(a)lewisroca.com<mailto:AAikman@lewisroca.com> D. 520.629.4428 [cid:image002.png@01D8F35A.863DC170] From: Jeff Neuman <jeff(a)jjnsolutions.com<mailto:jeff@jjnsolutions.com>> Sent: Monday, November 7, 2022 5:49 PM To: Aikman-Scalese, Anne <AAikman(a)lewisroca.com<mailto:AAikman@lewisroca.com>>; Sebastien(a)registry.godaddy<mailto:Sebastien@registry.godaddy>; john.mcelwaine(a)nelsonmullins.com<mailto:john.mcelwaine@nelsonmullins.com>; dibiase(a)amazon.com<mailto:dibiase@amazon.com> Cc: SubPro ODP Mailman List <subpro-odp(a)icann.org<mailto:subpro-odp@icann.org>> Subject: RE: Document and Motion deadline | Monday 07 November 2022 at 23:59 UTC for GNSO Council Meeting 17 November 2022 at 05:00 UTC [EXTERNAL] ________________________________ Dear Anne and GNSO Council Leadership, If you can post this to the Council list, I would appreciate it because I am sending this note in my capacity as the ODP Liaison to SubPro and not in my Council role as Liaison to the GAC. In the Blog Article on SubPro "Work Track 6", ICANN Org is not referring to "work tracks" in the sense that they were used in the SubPro PDP. I know the terminology is the same, but you may recall that in one of its first updates, the ICANN ODP Team described that it divided its own internal work into "Work Tracks" to perform the ODA. See https://www.icann.org/en/blogs/details/icann-subsequent-procedures-odp-intr…. In each of its updates, the ICANN Org SubPro ODP describes the work of its Work Tracks, and this latest update on November 2nd described its own work on Communication and Outreach. So, this bears no relationship to the five (5) work tracks of the SubPro PDP which related to policy development. Therefore, there is no action for the GNSO or community to take. This is just a project update from the ICANN Org SubPro ODP Team. I hope this clarification helps. I am also posting this on the SubPro ODP mailing list for the benefit of others following the conversation. If you all can repost on the Council list I would appreciate it. Sincerely, Jeff Neuman GNSO Liaison to SubPro [cid:image004.png@01D8F2E0.E2DC15A0] Jeffrey J. Neuman Founder & CEO JJN Solutions, LLC p: +1.202.549.5079 E: jeff(a)jjnsolutions.com<mailto:jeff@jjnsolutions.com> http://jjnsolutions.com From: council <council-bounces(a)gnso.icann.org<mailto:council-bounces@gnso.icann.org>> On Behalf Of Sebastien--- via council Sent: Monday, November 7, 2022 3:38 PM Hi Anne, Thank you for your question regarding Sub Pro Work Track 6 Outreach and the Auction Grant Program Report and whether these belong on the Council's agenda for discussion. In general, items that are included in the agenda, are those that fit within the Council's role as a manager of the policy development process, and/or items for which the Council is expected to take a decision or action either at that meeting or in the near future. Although the two items you listed are the result of previous actions of the GNSO Council (SubPro PDP and new gTLD Auction Proceeds CCWG), it does not seem that there is any immediate action expected on these topics from a Council perspective. . . . [END OF SNIPPET] Kindly, Sebastien Ducos From: Aikman-Scalese, Anne <AAikman(a)lewisroca.com<mailto:AAikman@lewisroca.com>> Date: Thursday, 3 November 2022 at 8:50 pm HI Sebastien et al, I don't have experience with what belongs on Council's agenda for discussion so I want to ask about these two items first before making any suggestions: 1.

Subsequently, the small team and Council held initial discussions amongst themselves, as well as with the Board. The small team has continued to meet to determine whether 1) does the Whois Disclosure System align with the expectations as set out in the small team’s preliminary report, 2) will implementation of the Whois Disclosure System deliver the information to help inform Council-Board consultations on the cost-benefit of the SSAD recommendations, 3) Does the small team recommend to the GNSO Council that it requests the ICANN Board to proceed with the implementation of the Whois Disclosure System. The small team was working to record its conclusions in an addendum to the preliminary report but had not yet completed its work in time for the October Council meeting; instead, the Council received an update on the status of the small team. The small team completed the addendum<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2022/correspondence/ducos…> to the preliminary report, which was circulated on 7 November 2022 for the Council’s review. Here, the Council will vote to adopt the addendum to the report from the small team on the Whois Disclosure System. 4.1 – Presentation of motion<https://community.icann.org/x/oQjVD> (Sebastien Ducos, small team lead) 4.2 – Council discussion 4.3 - Council vote (voting threshold: simple majority) Item 5: COUNCIL VOTE - Registration Data Accuracy Scoping Team - Adoption of Recommendation #3 (15 minutes) The Registration Data Accuracy (RDA) Scoping Team was initiated by the GNSO Council in July 2021 per the formation instructions<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/registrat…>. The Scoping Team was tasked with considering a number of accuracy-related factors such as the current enforcement, reporting, measurement, and overall effectiveness of accuracy-related efforts. These considerations are to help inform the team’s deliberations and development of recommendations to the GNSO Council on whether any changes are recommended to improve accuracy levels, and, if so, how and by whom these changes would need to be developed (for example, if changes to existing contractual requirements are recommended, a PDP or contractual negotiations may be necessary to effect a change). The Scoping Team has completed Assignment #1 (enforcement and reporting) and Assignment #2 (measurement of accuracy) and submitted its write up<https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2022-September/025950.html> to the Council on 5 September 2022. In the write up, the group is suggesting moving forward with two proposals that would not require access to registration data, namely a registrar survey (recommendation #1) and a possible registrar audit (recommendation #2) that may help further inform the team’s work on assignment #3 (effectiveness) and #4 (impact & improvements), while it awaits the outcome of the outreach to the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) by ICANN org in relation to proposals that would require access to registration data (recommendation #3). As has been communicated previously, Michael Palage has confirmed his resignation as Chair of this group to the Council. The Council will need to consider the proper timing for identifying a new Chair for this effort. During the October Council meeting, the Council discussed whether to approve recommendations #1 and #2 put forward by the Scoping Team (e.g., registrar survey and/or registrar audit) or instead, to defer consideration of recommendations #1 and #2, pending resolution of recommendation #3 (pausing the work on proposals that require access to registration data until there is clarity from ICANN org on if/how it anticipates the requesting and processing of registration data to be undertaken in the context of measuring accuracy). Here, the Council will decide how to proceed with the recommendations of the Registration Data Accuracy Scoping Team. 5.1 – Presentation of motion<https://community.icann.org/x/oQjVD> (Greg Dibiase, Council vice-chair) 5.2 – Council discussion 5.3 - Council vote (voting threshold: simple majority) Item 6: COUNCIL VOTE - DNS Abuse Small Team Report (15 minutes) At ICANN72, the GNSO Council agreed to establish a small team to consider and recommend next steps for the Council related to DNS abuse, if any. An assignment form<https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/178587048/Small%20Team%20A…> was drafted and the team held its first meeting 9 February 2022. The team performed outreach to interested community groups to better understand what DNS abuse related issues need to be addressed specifically via gTLD policy development. The small team considered this same question amongst its members and respective SG/Cs. The Council sent outreach letters to the ALAC, GAC, SSAC, and the DNS Abuse Institute and received input from all of these groups, as well as from a number of the SG/Cs. The small team carefully considered all input received and has reached agreement on a set of 4 recommendations. The small team reached these conclusions by thinking of DNS abuse as taking place in phases (e.g., malicious domain registration/domain being compromised, DNS abuse being reported, action being taken by a well-positioned party). These phases helped the small team to better understand which elements are best addressed via policy development versus another mechanism. To that end, the small team has concluded that improvements in DNS abuse mitigation can be sought via three buckets: through education / communication / outreach, through contractual negotiations, and/or policy development. The small team delivered its report<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2022/correspondence/dns-a…> to Council on 10 October 2022 and the report was discussed during the October Council meeting. Here, the Council will vote to accept recommendations #2 (bulk registrations), #3 (reporting of DNS Abuse), and #4 (action & enforcement) as contained in the report. The Council will also vote to commit to considering the requested actions under recommendation #1 (malicious registrations), after assessing the impact from recommendations #2, #3, and #4. 6.1 – Presentation of motion<https://community.icann.org/x/oQjVD> (Mark Datysgeld, small team co-lead) 6.2 – Council discussion 6.3 - Council vote (voting threshold: simple majority) Item 7: COUNCIL DISCUSSION - Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) Review Next Steps (15 minutes) On 21 January 2021, the GNSO Council approved the recommendations from the Phase 1 Final Report of the GNSO Policy Development Process (PDP) on the Review of All Rights Protection Mechanisms (RPMs) in All gTLDs, covering RPMs applicable to gTLDs launched under the 2012 New gTLD Program. The Council discussed the need to review the RPMs charter in advance of launching Phase 2 of the PDP, which is focused on the UDRP. The Council discussed the best path forward and determined that a Policy Status Report (PSR) should be requested to understand if new issues or information have emerged that could be relevant to a comprehensive policy review. The Council discussed the approach for the PSR with ICANN org’s Global Domains & Strategy (GDS) team over the course of several meetings in 2021, agreeing on the scope and purpose of the PSR during the October 2021 Council meeting. GDS completed the draft PSR and published it for public comment on 3 March 2022; the revised PSR was shared with the Council on 18 July 2022 and the Council then received a briefing from GDS during the July meeting. Based on discussion during that meeting, there seemed to be support from a number of Councilors to delay next steps for various reasons, including the considerable amount of existing Council work competing for attention. Here, the Council will consider appropriate next steps for the review of the UDRP, which could include delaying work currently and identifying a triggering mechanism to recommence the work in the future. 7.1 – Introduction of topic (Council leadership) 7.2 – Council discussion 7.3 – Next steps Item 8: COUNCIL DISCUSSION - Expired Domain Deletion Policy and the Expired Registration Recovery Policy Next Steps (15 minutes) In October 2020, the GNSO Council considered when to request a Policy Status Report to conduct a review of the two Expiration Policies, the Expired Domain Deletion Policy (EDDP) and the Expired Registration Recovery Policy (ERRP). Given concerns about capacity, along with the general perception that no known issues have presented themselves, the Council agreed in November 2020 to delay the request for the Policy Status Report (PSR) that had been identified by the Action Decision Radar as requiring consideration; the deferral was for a period of 24 months, necessitating consideration November 2022. In July 2022, the Council agreed that it would be helpful to check with the registrars and ICANN Compliance to help determine if there are any known issues or concerns with either of the two Expiration Policies which could warrant requesting a PSR. A report from Contractual Compliance<https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2022-November/026164.html> was shared with the Council on 1 November 2022 and feedback from the registrars has been shared in the past on previous Council calls. Here, the Council will receive a briefing on the report from ICANN Compliance and time permitting, consider potential next steps. 8.1 – Introduction of topic (Council leadership) 8.2 – Presentation (ICANN Compliance) 8.3 – Council discussion 8.4 – Next steps Item 9: COUNCIL DISCUSSION - Council Committee for Overseeing and Implementing Continuous Improvements (CCOICI) - Work Stream 2 (WS2) (10 minutes) The Council received a brief update on WS2 from ICANN org during its September 2021 meeting and received a more detailed update in February 2022, to better understand the level of progress it has already made via already completed work (e.g., the development of guidelines and templates to support the GNSO as a Decisional Participant in the Empowered Community) and the limited set of remaining WS2 tasks. The Council then considered the best path forward to complete the remaining work and agreed to extend the CCOICI pilot to include the WS2 work. The CCOICI has now completed this assignment and shared its WS2 Recommendations Report<https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/attachments/20221104/e04b754d/CCOICI…> on 4 November 2022. Here, the Council will receive an update on the report, in advance of a potential vote on the report in December 2022. 9.1 – Introduction of topic (Olga Cavalli, Chair of the CCOICI) 9.2 – Council discussion 9.3 – Next steps Item 10: COUNCIL DISCUSSION - SPS planning (10 minutes) The GNSO Council will hold its Strategic Planning Session (SPS) from 14-16 December in Los Angeles, a return to the face to face format. The Council leadership team has been coordinating with GNSO support staff on the planning of this event and has put together a proposed agenda for the SPS. The themes and agenda for the SPS are inspired by and take into account input received to date from Councilors through the early input survey that was circulated in July of this year and discussion during October. Here, Council leadership will review the agenda for the SPS. 10.1 – Introduction of topic (Council leadership) 10.2 – Council discussion 10.3 – Next steps Item 11: ANY OTHER BUSINESS (10 minutes) 11.1 – New CCOICI Chair - Olga Cavalli agreed to finish the CCOICI’s assignment on WS2 following her departure from the Council at ICANN75. Now that the CCOICI has submitted the WS2 recommendations report, a new chair will need to be found. Per the CCOICI charter<https://community.icann.org/x/xoMZCg> “The committee would be chaired by a member of the Council who would serve in ex-officio capacity”. Note that the only remaining CCOICI activity as part of the pilot project is to review any public comments received in relation to the WG Self-Assessment and finalize the report for submission to the GNSO Council. 11.2 - Vacant Council Liaison positions (TPR) _______________________________ Appendix 1: GNSO Council Voting Thresholds (ICANN Bylaws, Article 11, Section 11.3(i)) See https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#article11.

[Send as a follow up to ERRP/EDDP review https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2022-November/026164.html] Dear Council Members, As you may recall, we discussed the possible review of the ERRP/EDDP during our meeting in July and there was an action item assigned to leadership to follow up with the RrSG to see if they had identified any issues with the ERRP / EDDP that might require further consideration. Although the RrSG shared that feedback at the time, we thought it would make sense to share it with the Council together with the Compliance report that was shared last week so that you have both pieces of information in preparation for the upcoming Council meeting and discussion on this topic. For the record, the RrSG feedback at the time was as follows: ==== During the RrSG call, no member saw an issue as mentioned earlier. After the call, the meeting notes, transcript, and recording were sent to all the RrSG members. No members filed a motion as required by the RrSG bylaws to indicate an issue with the policy. Subsequently, there was also no discussion on the RrSG member list on this topic. Best, Theo ==== As the Compliance report has been shared, I asked for the RrSG leadership to confirm or revise their position in light of it ahead of our next Council meeting where we will discuss the report.
