GNSO Council Wrap-Up Proposed Agenda - Thursday, 13:15 - 14:30 CEST
by Steve Chan Oct. 25, 2023

Oct. 25, 2023

Dear Councilors, As noted during the GNSO Council’s Admin Session, please find some suggested topics for the Council’s Wrap-Up session taking place tomorrow: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/192qepuBiX-jxpeK3vjuMr23yKwhooOv1u_I… Please reply to the list if any agenda items should be amended or added. A couple of things to take into consideration when reviewing the proposed agenda: * Under agenda item 2, you will see a number of potential topics for the Council’s November meeting. Given the very short turnaround until that meeting, we thought it might be helpful to take advantage of this meeting to get input on the agenda. Note, the purpose of agenda item 2 is not to consider any of the suggested topics substantively during this Wrap-Up session. * On slide three, you’ll see that the GNSO Council liaison to various efforts are captured, and we’ve highlighted where a replacement seems to be needed. Best, Steve Steven Chan  VP, Policy Development Support & GNSO Relations Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) 12025 Waterfront Drive, Suite 300 Los Angeles, CA 90094-2536  Email: steve.chan(a)icann.org<mailto:steve.chan@icann.org> Skype: steve.chan55 Mobile: +1.310.339.4410 Find out more about the GNSO by visiting: https://learn.icann.org/<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__learn.icann.org_&d=DwM…> Follow @GNSO on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ICANN_GNSO<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__twitter.com_ICANN-5FGN…> Transcripts and recordings of GNSO Working Group and Council events are located on the GNSO Master Calendar <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__gnso.icann.org_en_grou…>

Point of Order - Sub Pro Pending Recommendations Small Team Work
by Anne ICANN Oct. 24, 2023

Oct. 24, 2023

Dear Sub Pro Small Team, Today I heard our Sub Pro Small Team fearless leader Paul announce to the GAC that the ideas around Applicant Support that will be developed by the "Small Team Plus" will constitute "Implementation Guidance" for the Board. Of course in Sub Pro "speak", Implementation Guidance is a term of art that means the ideas will not constitute a policy recommendation as contemplated by Annex A, Section 9 which speaks of Supplemental Recommendations which are policy recommendations. I commented on this in our Small Team meeting on Saturday. (For clarity, "implementation Guidance" is a defined term in the Sub Pro Final Report and it is not obligatory if the Board finds that it is impractical.) Although Paul began to speak about Implementation Guidance in the small team meeting on Saturday, I don't recall a consensus being developed on this approach. Perhaps more importantly, it strikes me that the decision as to whether the ideas to be put forward in the Supplemental Recommendation for Applicant Support will constitute Implementation Guidance (and not policy per se) is actually a question for Council and not for the Small Team alone to decide as this is in fact a policy matter. Perhaps Paul (and staff?) are thinking this is the only workable approach because of the many ideas that have been put forward. The thought may be that no one idea (or merging of ideas into one consensus Supplemental Recommendation) will be feasible. Or that this process would take too long, if achievable at all? These are all very real concerns. However, I do need to raise this Point of Order before the meeting with the Board where the Board Statement on Sub Pro Non-Adoption will be reviewed. I believe that in respecting the boundaries of Small Team work, we would need authorization from Council to state to the Board that suggestions for providing expanded assistance in the realm of Applicant Support would constitute mere "Implementation Guidance" rather than actual policy Recommendations which are Supplemental in nature pursuant to Annex A, Section 9. Of course it would be easier for the Board to accept a truncated Recommendation 17.2 which is not specific other than to say "expand Applicant Support". Then we could tack on various Implementation Guidance ideas which do not actually bind the Board. However, again I believe that if that is to be the approach taken by the Small Team, it should be approved in advance by Council.) As incoming Chair, Greg has already indicated in his presentation to Council his concern in relation to transparency of Council small team work. So let's be very careful about this one as we are due to go before the Board to discuss the non-adopted items in the pending Sub Pro Final Report Recommendations. Could we please discuss this further in our Closed Session? I do not think the same statement made today to the GAC should be repeated before the Board without authorization from Council. Thank you, Anne Anne Aikman-Scalese GNSO Councilor NomCom Non-Voting 2022-2024 anneicanngnso(a)gmail.com
