Discussion - Applicant Support Program and the GGP
by kurt kjpritz.com June 5, 2022

June 5, 2022

Hello Paul (and everyone else): I am writing in follow-up to the Council discussion regarding the SubPro recommended Applicant Support Program. During that agenda item, it was proposed that a GNSO Guidance Process (GGP) be launched to bring the Applicant Support work forward. At that time, you commented (please correct or refine my recollection) that the Applicant Support program seems like straight IRT work and that we needn’t / shouldn’t invoke this specialized procedure. I had thought to respond at the time you made your comment but wanted to pause in order to organize my thoughts. Paul, I hope you don’t mind me using your intervention as a way to make an alternative case (even thought I have a lot of sympathy for your position). However, I think that pulling this work ahead of the IRT start would be beneficial, and the GGP is an available, legitimate path. Background: I. First, sometime after the Council approval of the SubPro final report, it was suggested that implementation work on Applicant Support be pulled forward because: 1. given its potential complexity, designing the Applicant Support program was likely to take the longest of all the implementation tasks – the long pole in the tent. So good business sense would dictate that it be pulled it forward if possible, and 2. the SubPro report indicated that the skillset necessary to complete the work is different from those normally comprised in an IRT. So, there would not be inefficiencies introduced by creating a separate Applicant Support implementation team. II. Then, shortly after that (I might the timing somewhat muddled here), ICANN staff made a statement to the effect of, “this Applicant Support effort seems more like ‘policy’ than ‘implementation,” and put next steps for decision by the Council. Given those two concerns, we find ourselves with an appropriate, lightweight tool in our toolbox that satisfies both concerns, the GGP (https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/annex-5-g…) So, I advocate for its deployment – for this reason, and with this caveat: I think it makes a great deal of sense to pull the Applicant Support work forward. As you will recall, the Applicant Support program in the last round was crap — all due to the lateness of the idea and the limited time to adopt “something.” Devising an effective program will take time and an extraordinary skillset. If we wait for the IRT, the Applicant Support program design will either delay the program launch or fall short of the mark due to inadequate time for design and testing. I am betting it will be the latter. In any event, I think it is in our interest to ensure there is adequate time to develop the program by pulling the work forward using the GGP as a tool. However, I am not for the GGP as proposed in https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/attachments/20220504/09360d33/SubPro…. That proposal calls for an overarching, 20-person representative community group to oversee several proposed GGP efforts in what is likely to be a multi-year commitment on the part of our depleted volunteer workforce. I am not convinced that the other post-SubPro report efforts listed in the proposed GGP rise to the level of invoking a GGP. (They are the CPE Threshold, Quick Look Objection Process, Public Comment Role in Evaluations, and supporting Freedom of Expression.) In any event, these could be tackled separately, as they require different skill sets, and it is in our interest to keep this effort streamlined, timely and effective. I believe the GGP as set out in the Bylaws provides the flexibility to devise a lightweight process. I am speaking on my own here and do not know the RySG position. There might be other ways to manage implementation in a timely, economical, effective manner. The GGP requires the approval by Council; so I am writing to continue the discussion that you so thoughtfully started so that we might arrive at some conclusions by our next meeting. I hope you all find this helpful. Best regards, Kurt

Fourth Set of Assumptions and SubPro ODP Update
by philippe.fouquart＠orange.com May 26, 2022

May 26, 2022

Dear Councilors, On Jeff's behalf, you will find below the update and highlights of the SubPro ODP. Please have a look at both Question Sets #3 and #4. Quoting Jeff here: "For Set # 3, we shoud respond by June 1st. For Set #4, we should respond by the end of ICANN74 if possible." Note also the related sessions during both prep and 74 weeks, including individual (on demand) sessions with SG/Cs. Regards, Philippe -------- Message d'origine -------- De : Jeff Neuman <jeff(a)jjnsolutions.com> Date : 26/05/2022 18:36 (GMT+01:00) À : FOUQUART Philippe INNOV/NET <philippe.fouquart(a)orange.com>, "Tomslin Samme-Nlar (mesumbeslin(a)gmail.com)" <mesumbeslin(a)gmail.com>, "Sebastien(a)registry.godaddy" <sebastien(a)registry.godaddy> Cc : Steve Chan <steve.chan(a)icann.org> Objet : Fourth Set of Assumptions and SubPro ODP Update Dear GNSO Council Leadership, Can you please forward the following note to the GNSO Council? Sincerely, Jeff Neuman GNSO Liaison to SubPro ODP ******************************************************** Dear GNSO Council, On May 25, 2022, we had our monthly SubPro ODP Update with ICANN’s SubPro ODP Team. The following are the major highlights of the update and for upcoming SubPro activities. 1. Today, ICANN released its fourth set of Topic Assumptions, which I have attached to this e-mail. The Third set of Assumptions was sent to the Council along with Question Set #4 on May 19, 2022 (See https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2022-May/025688.html) 2. Although this was mentioned in the Community Digest last week I believe, I am including the “Community Status Update” from ICANN’s SubPro ODP Team that marked the halfway point for the ODP as set forth in the original timeline provided by ICANN. 3. The SubPro ODP team will hold a Prep Week Session on Tuesday, May 31, 2022 at 21:00 UTC. This will primarily serve as an update from ICANN’s ODP Team on the status of the ODP and to take questions from participants. The team may also give us some insight as to how they tackle particular issues by running through a specific topic. By discussing that topic, the hope is to give us insight as to how they analyze each of the issues and what information they believe is relevant to provide to the Board in assessing the costs (in terms of money, resources and time). The example topic is not intended for a discussion on the merits of the particular solution, but rather to discuss the ODP Team approach. 4. During ICANN74, the first “Plenary Session” entitled “New gTLD Subsequent Procedures – Working Together” will be held on Monday, June 13th at 9:00am Local Hague Time (CET). During that session, the ODP Team will continue to discuss certain subject areas within the ODP to see feedback from the community. 5. The ICANN ODP Team also wants each C, SG, AC and SO to know that they are going to be available at ICANN 74 to meet with any group that wants to know more about the ODP or that have any questions. Please reach out to Karen Lentz, Chris Bare or Lars Hoffmann if you would like to schedule a meeting. 6. The ICANN ODP team also has a scheduled session with the GAC during ICANN74 where they will be going over their role, their history and the New gTLD Program in general. It is intended to inform GAC members, especially members that are new or are not as familiar with the new gTLD Program. Action Items for the Council 1. Please review the responses to Question Set #3 (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OtddNIUaAitHiJPE8pBTBcirTaDjyzPkcZY6BJm…) We need to get this back to the ODP Team by no later than June 1, 2022. 2. Please also review Question Set #4 (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EQDDfNprHYWWFvfrPHDe6Pu_bZosXwfVNIsK38l…) There are lots of questions and I am just starting to populate the responses. We have a little longer to complete this, but it would be great to be able to complete this by the end of ICANN74. 3. Please also review the Assumptions Set #3 and the attached Set #4. Set #3 was sent in April and can be found here (https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/197264121/SubProODP_TopicA…) On these assumptions documents, our role is not really to provide comments on the substance of any assumption unless we believe there is any assumption which is inconsistent with the SubPro Final Report. In other words, it is not a general comment period, but rather a check to make sure the ODP Team “got it right”. For Set # 3, we shoud respond by June 1st. For Set #4, we should respond by the end of ICANN74 if possible. 4. If you want to have the ICANN ODP Team visit with your C, SG, AC or SO, please reach out and let them know. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. Sincerely, Jeff Neuman GNSO Liaison to ODP [cid:com_samsung_android_email_attachmentprovider_5_124151_RAW_1653583711455] Jeffrey J.
