SPS follow-up Brainstorming Session - 31 May 2022
by philippe.fouquart＠orange.com 11 Jun '22

11 Jun '22

Dear Councilors, Thanks for your participation in the post-SPS Brainstorming session, which focused on the current Board-Council interaction following the adoption by the GNSO Council of PDP recommendations. Maybe to reiterate our starting point for the meeting that this conversation is not intended to change the roles and responsibilities of the Council and Board as outlined in the Bylaws, nor is it about finding a way around the PDP rules: it is intended to identify possible gaps and associated remedies, with an emphasis on remedies that can be easily implemented and tested. I think we all appreciate the constructive conversation and suggestions that came out of this and as a result would like to propose that the staff support team capture the following proposals in the PDP Improvements Tracker so that these can be further considered for implementation: * Following adoption of a PDP Final Report by the GNSO Council, schedule a meeting with the ICANN Board to allow the GNSO Council, with the assistance of the PDP Chair(s), to present the Final Report and recommendations to the ICANN Board and allow for Q & A. Note, this is possibly something that could be trialed if/when the IGO Curative Rights EPDP recommendations are adopted? * Explore where additional touch points during the PDP between the Council and Board may be helpful. For example, at the time of the publication of an Initial Report, should this be a standard topic of conversation during a Board-Council bilateral meeting? * Make more use of informal conversations to discuss possible concerns or questions in relation to PDP recommendations, and particularly (but not only) after an ODP. The informal exchanges being held in the SSAD small team would seem to be a "model" worthwhile pursuing. Note, just because these are informal conversations, this does not mean that these are not public and/or documented. * Consider if/how the role of the Board liaison of a PDP can contribute to more effective communication. This could, for example, be done by communicating clearly at the outset of a PDP the expected role of the Board liaison. I'm hopeful Becky and Matthew would also take back to the ICANN Board some of the specific suggestions that came out of the conversation that would be for the Board to consider such as encouraging Board liaisons to be more proactive as well as considering how to introduce more transparency around the expected timing of next steps in the Board consideration of PDP recommendations. We may use some time at our next meeting with the ICANN Board, likely at ICANN75, to touch base and see the status of these possible improvements and what is the broader Board's sentiment on such an approach (?). If there is anything that has not been captured here, or any further ideas that you may have had after the meeting, please feel free to suggest these in response to this email. Thanks again for taking part.

FW: GAC-GNSO Bilateral 13 June 2022: Talking Points/Questions from the GAC
by Jeff Neuman 08 Jun '22

08 Jun '22

All, Please find below the GAC talking points and questions prepared by GAC members for the upcoming GAC-GNSO Bilateral next week as part of ICANN74. 13 June 2022 | ICANN74 Bilateral Questions/Talking Points Agenda for ICANN74 1. SubPro * Closed generics; * GNSO Guidance Process 2. DNS abuse 3. Accuracy 4. AOB * SSAD light * ICANN priorities * GPI follow-up Subsequent Procedures of New gTLDs * Closed Generics * The GAC welcomes ALAC participation in the facilitated dialogue in collaboration with the GNSO Council and the GAC. * The GAC welcomes input from the GNSO Council on criteria for the appointed facilitator for the dialogue. As noted to the Board, the GAC believes that the facilitator should be a well-respected member of the ICANN community, with a track-record of respectfully and tactfully building consensus, and independent from commercial interests. Ideally, the facilitator should have a good understanding of the closed generics issue and its history, but not having been directly involved in SubPro PDP WG discussions to bring a fresh perspective to the process. Finally, the facilitator should be willing and able to proactively help different parties find a mutually acceptable solution. o How many representatives does the GNSO Council foresee appointing to this process? The GAC encourages the facilitator and ICANN Org to consider a balanced number of participants from the GAC and GNSO Council for the dialogue to be effective. * GNSO Guidance Process * Could the GNSO Council explain what is the aim, the basic process, as well as the timeline for such a process? How may interested GAC members take part in the GNSO Guidance Process? DNS Abuse * The GAC continues to have a great interest in DNS Abuse and would welcome an update from the GNSO small group on DNS Abuse , subject to developments. Accuracy * What is the GNSO Council’s appreciation of the advancement of the scoping exercise on accuracy of registration data? Is the GNSO expecting the work to be concluded within a reasonable timeline given the submitted change of project request? AOB * SSAD Light * GNSO Council to provide an update as events warrant. * ICANN priorities * GAC/GNSO Council early exchange of initial thoughts in preparation for the plenary session ICANN74. * GPI Follow-up * At ICANN 72, the GAC initiated an exchange with the GNSO Council on the way the GNSO Council approaches public interest. At ICANN73, the ICANN Community held a Plenary on the Global Public Interest Framework (GPI Framework) tested by the ICANN Board. In its ICANN73 GAC Communiqué, the GAC noted that “The GPI framework could be adapted and applied by all ACs and SOs in their work, including, for example, through the process of developing and endorsing policy recommendations, decisions and public comments.” § How does the GNSO Council see its role in ensuring that public interest concerns are “not only considered but also effectively addressed” in ICANN policy making? § Does the GNSO Council intend adapting the GPI Framework tool to the GNSO Council’s own needs?

GNSO Council Member Commitments
by Sebastien＠registry.godaddy 08 Jun '22

08 Jun '22

Dear Council Colleagues, I proposed during our SPS to formulate a series of Commitments for the Council Members to adopt, beyond our existing duties and responsibilities. Please find these Commitments as I proposed them since our last meeting to Paul McGrady and Leadership. Paul offered a Civility Pledge from the IPC in 2021; these Commitments were heavily inspired by it. Please find my draft for discussion. We will have time to review them next week during our Wrap-Up Session. Kindly, Sebastien Ducos GoDaddy Registry | Senior Client Services Manager [signature_4046168083] +33612284445 France & Australia sebastien(a)registry.godaddy<mailto:sebastien@registry.godaddy>
