FW: Moving ahead with the WS2 Community Coordination Group | Response Requested by Friday, 11 February 2022
by philippe.fouquart＠orange.com 14 Feb '22

14 Feb '22

Dear Councilors, Dear SG/C leaders, With some delay - and my apologies for this - please note the following and therefore to the SG/C a reminder to appoint/confirm a representative for this group if you haven't already. On Council's side, in addition to looking for a rep (volunteer welcome) and to avoid duplication of the work, we may want to think about how we may articulate our potential inputs to this, and future work under the GNSO Council Committee for Overseeing and Implementing Continuous Improvement, which in principle was intended to cover such non PDP related work. The discussion that we will have soon on the completion of the pilot's first task for this CCOICI would be a good opportunity to discuss this too. Regards, Philippe Orange Restricted De : soac-chairs <soac-chairs-bounces(a)icann.org> De la part de Chantelle Doerksen via soac-chairs Envoyé : mardi 25 janvier 2022 18:54 À : soac-chairs(a)icann.org Cc : Mary Wong <mary.wong(a)icann.org>; Mariana Marinho <mariana.marinho(a)icann.org>; Alperen Eken <alperen.eken(a)icann.org>; Alice Jansen <alice.jansen(a)icann.org>; Giovanni Seppia <giovanni.seppia(a)icann.org> Objet : [soac-chairs] Moving ahead with the WS2 Community Coordination Group | Response Requested by Friday, 11 February 2022 Dear SOAC Chairs, We are reaching out to you about proceeding to form the community group that will serve as an information sharing and coordinating forum for the community's implementation of certain specific recommendations from the Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability (CCWG-Accountability) Work Stream 2 (WS2). As suggested in the most recent summary of the scope of work for the WS2 Community Coordination Group, we would like to request that each Supporting Organization, Advisory Committee, Regional At-Large Organization, and GNSO Stakeholder Group confirm their appointment of a representative (and alternate, if appropriate). Background In relation to a timeline, ICANN org had suggested that each SO/AC/RALO/SG complete its appointment of its primary and secondary representatives by late January or early February 2022, with the aim of having the WS2 Community Coordination Group hold an initial call before ICANN73.The initial call will allow the group to familiarize itself with its scope of work, discuss a potential timeline and a cadence for its calls. Subsequent calls would then involve discussion as to the order in which the community would approach implementing the relevant recommendations. These recommendations are Recommendation 1.1 (on proposed elements of diversity), Recommendation 1.7 (on a process for handling complaints about diversity), and Recommendation 2.3 (on a standalone framework for exercising Empowered Community powers). We understand that there may be other recommendations that can benefit from information sharing purposes as well, but wanted to flag these specific recommendations to you as those that require cross-community coordination. For quick reference, we have attached the most recent version of the WS2 Community Coordination Group Proposal for your easy reference. Next steps Given the time that has elapsed since the proposal for a WS2 Community Coordination Group was first raised with you as SOAC Chairs, we would like to ask that each SO, AC, RALO, and GNSO Stakeholder Group confirm their representative, and if appropriate, alternate, to the Group by no later than Friday, 11 February 2022. Please share the name(s) with everyone on this list, and also with your respective support staff for coordination purposes. Going forward, we envision that the work of this group will be transparent and available to the public. This means that call materials (recordings, action items, etc.), reports, and any decisions will be made available via a wiki space being created for record keeping purposes. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. We look forward to hearing from you.

FW: ODP Liaison Update and Question Set 2
by philippe.fouquart＠orange.com 14 Feb '22

14 Feb '22

Dear Councilors, Please see Jeff's update on the SubPro ODP. We will have an AOB on this in our Council call this week. Note in particular the response from ICANN on the ODP timeline, and questions on how the dedicated Applicant Support program IRT is expected to be convened. Jeff's suggestion is to start ASAP with a rationale for doing so before the Board's vote. Regards, Philippe Orange Restricted From: Jeff Neuman <jeff(a)jjnsolutions.com> Sent: Friday, February 11, 2022 4:55 PM To: FOUQUART Philippe INNOV/NET <philippe.fouquart(a)orange.com>; Tomslin Samme-Nlar (mesumbeslin(a)gmail.com) <mesumbeslin(a)gmail.com>; Sebastien(a)registry.godaddy Cc: Steve Chan <steve.chan(a)icann.org>; SubPro ODP Mailman List <subpro-odp(a)icann.org> Subject: ODP Liaison Update and Question Set 2 Dear Council Leadership, Apologies for not meeting the Document Deadline, but I wanted to provide this update after my call with the ICANN SubPro ODP Team and after receiving the documents I am now forwarding. There is a lot to report on since the last update a few weeks ago when the ICANN ODP team announced the official start to the SubPro ODP. 1. Project Timeline: Attached is a high level project timeline provided by the ODP Team that sets forth different milestones including Community Status Updates, ICANN meeting sessions and some internal ICANN team deliverables. We are not certain whether the Community Status Updates (in March, May and August) will be webinars or reports, but that will be finalized over the next few weeks. In addition, ICANN is planning a session at ICANN73 (more on that below), and several sessions at ICANN74. And hopefully by ICANN75 in September, the ODA will be near final to discuss. This timeline was provided in response to the Council discussion during its January meeting. 2. Question Set 2: We have also just received Question Set #2 from the ODP team which I have copied into a Google Doc<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_A5oEnsFQHAvXDtNNRkDGzPoC2GRTxtlnMCwd3r…>. As per our process, I will draft a proposed response which everyone is able to see, revise, comment on, etc. Although the Question states that it is related to Applicant Support, it is actually a broader procedural question as opposed to one related to the substance of Applicant Support. In the SubPro Final Report, the recommendations state that a dedicated Implementation Review Team (separate and apart from the general SubPro IRT) should be formed to finalize a number of the elements of the Applicant Support program. The SubPro Working Group believed that it did not have the sufficient expertise to develop policy on who should qualify for Applicant Support, how the funds should be distributed, etc. Though there are some recommendations at a high level, the Working Group envisioned a specific community group with that expertise should be responsible for the requirements. For those of you that want to read that section again, it is Topic 17<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/final-rep…> (pages 71-83). The Implementation Guidance states: "A dedicated Implementation Review Team should be established and charged with developing implementation elements of the Applicant Support Program. In conducting its work, the Implementation Review Team should revisit the 2011 Final Report of the Joint Applicant Support Working Group98 as well as the 2012 implementation of the Applicant Support program." ICANN has rightly pointed out that this is generally not the type or work that we think of being associated with an IRT and may in fact be policy. That being the case, ICANN wants to know (a) whether the Council (responsible for managing policy) is nonetheless ok will giving this work to an IRT or whether the Council wanted to create some other cross community team (called something other than an IRT) to do this work. Incidentally, I believe this question provides us with an opening, should we choose to take it, where the Council can actually commission a group to start working on these issues NOW as opposed to waiting for Board approval in 2023. In other words, the Council can always modify its policy recommendations at any time prior to the Board approving the policy recommendations. So although we technically cannot commission an IRT until the Board approves the policies, we can commission a group to work on Applicant Support issues now. If this group can complete its work prior to the Board approving the SubPro Policies, the PDP Manual would allow us to update the SubPro policies to include the group's recommendations (if we wanted to). If, however, it does not complete the work by that time, then they would be new recommendations to the Board for approval. This is no different really at the end of the day than the outcome of an IRT. Therefore, I would like to propose to the Council that it consider creating a group to work on these applicant support issues and solicit volunteers from the GAC and ALAC (who are VERY interested in this subject) to start work on this as soon as possible. And if this is a good model, perhaps there are other recommendations in the SubPro Report where those were referred to IRTs, but really may involve some policy aspects that we can start work on now. I would like to use the update time during the Council meeting to discuss this point if possible. 3. ICANN73: When the schedule comes out shortly, you will likely see (unless anything changes) a session on Wednesday of ICANN week for the ODP team to give an update. At that meeting they will likely be presenting on the work they have done to date and on the next set of key assumptions for the program. You may recall back in 2019 I believe ICANN released its first set of assumptions which was prior to SubPro completing its work. Some of the assumptions at that time were discussed, but others could not be discussed due to the policies at the time not being final. My understanding is that this second set will be more comprehensive and much further developed. Finally, I just want to acknowledge the hard work of Karen Lentz and her team including Lars Hoffmann, Chris Bare, Samantha Mancia and Michael Karakash as well as of course our very own Steve Chan and Emily Barabas.

FW: [gnso-chairs] FW: [Ext] ALAC - GNSO Council bilateral session at ICANN73
by philippe.fouquart＠orange.com 11 Feb '22

11 Feb '22

Dear Councilors, Please have a look at Justine's suggestions for our bilateral session with ALAC at ICANN 73. We will have this on our agenda for the council call, and would suggest to have topic leads on these 4 points if the corresponding small team rapporteur or liaison would be willing (you'd know who you are ;): 1. Operational Design Assessment of Standardized System for Access/Disclosure Recommendations 2. Subsequent Procedures Operational Design Phase (SubPro ODP) 3. DNS Abuse Mitigation 4. Priorities for 2022 Other suggestions for the bilateral would be welcome. Regards, Philippe Orange Restricted From: Gnso-chairs <gnso-chairs-bounces(a)icann.org> On Behalf Of Nathalie Peregrine via Gnso-chairs Sent: Friday, February 11, 2022 9:33 AM To: gnso-chairs(a)icann.org Cc: gnso-secs(a)icann.org Subject: [gnso-chairs] FW: [Ext] ALAC - GNSO Council bilateral session at ICANN73 FYI It would be good to have these circulated on the Council mailing list, and also added to the Council agenda. Best, Nathalie From: Justine Chew <justine.chew.icann(a)gmail.com<mailto:justine.chew.icann@gmail.com>> Date: Friday, 11 February 2022 at 02:07 To: Nathalie Peregrine <nathalie.peregrine(a)icann.org<mailto:nathalie.peregrine@icann.org>> Subject: [Ext] ALAC - GNSO Council bilateral session at ICANN73 Hi Nathalie, Here is the list of the issues that the ALAC wishes to raise at its bilateral session with Council during ICANN73, along with the context and questions for consideration. While noting that the list appears lengthy, the ALAC would appreciate if we could try and cover as much of it as is feasible. 1. Operational Design Assessment of Standardized System for Access/Disclosure Recommendations On 25 Jan 2022<https://www.icann.org/en/announcements/details/icann-delivers-operational-d…>, ICANN Org released its Operational Design Assessment (ODA) of the Standardized System for Access/Disclosure (SSAD) Recommendations which became a preliminary basis for the GNSO Council's consultation with the ICANN Board on 27 Jan 2022 [icann.zoom.us]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/icann.zoom.us/rec/share/ThvLLeAMkU2WICDL…>. * How does Council intend to proceed with its recommendations on the SSAD given the concerns raised by the ICANN Board, which also reflect concerns contained in the ALAC's Statement of 24 Aug 2020 [atlarge.icann.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/atlarge.icann.org/advice_statements/1379…>? 2. Subsequent Procedures Operational Design Phase (SubPro ODP) Although announced on 20 Dec 2021<https://www.icann.org/en/announcements/details/icann-launches-new-gtld-subs…>, it is understood that the SubPro ODP had only officially kicked off circa 18 Jan 2022<https://www.icann.org/en/blogs/details/icann-subsequent-procedures-odp-intr…> just before the SSAD ODP came to its conclusion on 25 Jan 2022. * Has Council made any observations or acquired lessons from its involvement with the SSAD ODP which it intends to apply to the SubPro ODP process to improve the efficacy and transparency of the ODP concept for the entire ICANN community? * Would Council be able to briefly share any preliminary feedback on the SubPro ODP's progress so far? 3. DNS Abuse Mitigation During Part 2 of its meeting on 27 Oct 2021, the GNSO Council established a small team of councilors to draft potential Council next steps regarding DNS Abuse. * Has Council arrived at any next steps regarding DNS Abuse per its agenda? * How would Council take on board inputs/efforts from other parts of the ICANN community on such next steps? * Would Council be able to share an indication of its plan and timeline for such next steps? 4. Priorities for 2022 Apart from the SSAD ODA and the SubPro ODP which we know are on Council's agenda, what other priorities have Council identified for 2022? For example:- * Would Council be prioritizing certain Work Stream 2 recommendations for implementation and if yes, what might these be? * How might issues raised in the Discussion paper by GDS on Modifying gTLD Consensus Policies<https://community.icann.org/gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-f…> impact (if at all): * (a) the implementation of PDP 3.0 and increasing use of the representative model in recently constituted GNSO EPDP and PDP WGs; and/or * (b) any efforts by Council in respect of the continuous improvements to its operating procedure?. Please let me know if this meets what Council Leadership wanted for purposes of Council's February meeting. I would be happy to address any immediate request for clarification or feedback to the above. Many thanks and kind regards, Justine _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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.
