GNSO Council Meeting 28 August: Preparation for Joint Meetings at ICANN75
by philippe.fouquart＠orange.com Aug. 24, 2022

Aug. 24, 2022

Dear Councilors, As background to our discussion during the 25 August call to prepare for the joint meetings at ICANN 75, the following are the initial topics that have been shared by the Board, ALAC and the GAC. We will review these topics and identify those that the Council would want to propose for discussion, and identify topics leads. The topic(s) for the discussion with the ICANN Board are due by 9 September. The Board has suggested spending half of the scheduled time to discuss "What collaborative actions should the Community, Board and Org be undertaking to further progress achieving our strategic priorities?", with the other half of the time dedicated to the Council's selected topic. The ALAC has suggested the following two topics: * The GNSO Council Small Team on DNS Abuse's work; and * The terms of reference for the proposed pilot Holistic Review, being a recommendation of the ATRT3. The following are potential topics for the GAC bilateral (where I included additional notes from Jeff's July call with the GAC Point of Contact, another one being schedule just before our August call.): SSAD light: In theory, ICANN should have put out its proposal for SSAD light by ICANN 75, so this is likely to be a hot topic. Essentially, the discussion would focus on next steps. Subsequent Rounds of New gTLDs Closed Generics: If not done prior, it may be a good idea to have the first (or second) meeting of the small joint closed generics teams in a face-to-face setting. GGP on applicant support: status of the preparatory work DNS Abuse Small team progress report - The GAC would like to know where the small team stands and "whether there has been any progress" State of play in general - In its Communique, the GAC expressed several ideas on how to progress the discussion and would like to know the GNSO's views. Accuracy State of play - GAC and GNSO Council to discuss any potential developments on accuracy matters, if applicable.

Proposal for the GNSO Chair election at ICANN75
by philippe.fouquart＠orange.com Aug. 23, 2022

Aug. 23, 2022

Dear Councilors, Hope this finds you all well. As you know, the GNSO Chair election will be held during ICANN75, and we now know the following: 1. Sebastien Ducos is the sole candidate for GNSO Chair. 2. The new Council will conduct the vote after the Annual General Meeting transition. 3. Appointment of the GNSO Chair requires 60% support of each house. 4. Historically, votes for Chair have been conducted in-person with paper ballots and votes are anonymous. 5. The Chair position is not contested and several councilors are not able to travel to the AGM. 6. There is a range of options for this election, from acclamation to a secret ballot vote. After discussing these options, Tomslin and I are recommending that the Council conducts a simple roll-call vote as we did last year. This will clearly establish that the minimum threshold had been met to avoid a run-off between the Candidate and "none-of-the-above," while avoiding the unnecessary delay of holding an secret ballot vote for an uncontested seat. We would like to know whether there is any objection to this approach. Feel free to request an AOB item on Thursday's call if necessary, or voice your concern or question within a week. Thank you, Best regards, Philippe _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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.

This now fits in with the 20th May 2022 as submission deadline for funded traveler names for ICANN75. The remaining steps however are in keeping with the GNSO Operating Procedures, counting back from the election date. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you, Nathalie

This now fits in with the 20th May 2022 as submission deadline for funded traveler names for ICANN75. The remaining steps however are in keeping with the GNSO Operating Procedures, counting back from the election date. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you, Nathalie
