Follow up on GNSO Council related meetings at ICANN78
by DiBiase, Gregory Oct. 20, 2023

Oct. 20, 2023

Dear Councilors, I’m following up on the email below regarding the working document<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1a3plNvimEJjpSUhahQPtpJU6BUXBkUKiQru…> which includes the agendas for the various Council related meetings, such as the GNSO working sessions and joint meetings. I’d like to highlight a couple portions below (but please comment on any section of the document). First I would like to confirm the single topic suggested by the Council for the joint meeting between the ICANN Board and GNSO Council. The topic is: Preliminary discussion of Board Statement not-adopting certain SubPro recommendations. The Council’s topic(s) must be communicated to the Board by 11 October. Note, this engagement is expected to serve as at least the first meeting to discuss the Board Statement as required by Annex A, Section 9 (c) of the ICANN Bylaws, referenced in Tripti’s letter<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2023/correspondence/sinha…> to the Council. Holding this meeting would not preclude additional discussion at a later time, as deemed necessary. In order to support this topic, the Council’s SubPro Pending Recommendations small team is concentrating on a working document<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bumhCtJ1C3PatdsSHsl435Kk11mxGJXQ/edit> that first and foremost, identifies clarifying questions to discuss with the Board. In addition, the working document identifies which of the non-adopted recommendations that the small would like to try and modify in order to address the Board’s concerns, as well as a high-level understanding of what that modification could look like. The second reason for follow-up is to draw attention to the second GNSO Working Session where the GNSO will meet with staff from the Global Domains and Strategy (GDS) team. While the GDS team will come prepared to provide an update, it will be helpful if Councilors identify questions/comments in advance, in order to better support an active dialogue. Thanks, Greg From: council <council-bounces(a)gnso.icann.org> On Behalf Of Steve Chan via council Sent: Wednesday, October 4, 2023 4:51 PM To: council(a)gnso.icann.org Subject: [EXTERNAL] [council] GNSO Council related meetings at ICANN78 CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization.

The deadline to communicate topics for that Board/Council session is 11 October. The other quick comment is that the latest and greatest Council/GAC proposed agenda is included. Jeff, apologies for potentially stealing your thunder! If you have any questions or comments on any of the agendas, please share them on this list.

FYI - Draft letter to the NIS Cooperation Group on existing ICANN policies that are relevant to art 28 NIS2
by Marika Konings Oct. 19, 2023

Oct. 19, 2023

Dear All On behalf of Elena Plexida, you will find attached the draft ICANN org communication to the NIS Cooperation Group on art. 28 NIS2. The draft provides info about the role and work of the ICANN multistakeholder model and its policymaking, as well as info about the ICANN policies, procedures, and requirements relevant to art. 28 NIS2. As you may recall, the Council formed a small team to consider if/how the GNSO could help inform the work of the Cooperation Group but after learning that ICANN org was already planning to reach out, it was agreed that the small team would await this communication. Elena is sharing this communication for your information. Of course, should there be any glaring information missing, she would be happy to hear. The intent is to send this communication after ICANN78. Best regards, Marika

Update on Registration Data Accuracy efforts
by Marika Konings Oct. 19, 2023

Oct. 19, 2023

Forwarding on behalf of Yuko Yokoyama Dear GNSO Council, In follow up to our communication<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2023/correspondence/gutte…> from 13 March 2023, we are writing to provide you with the attached update on ICANN’s efforts related to exploring registration data accuracy in support of the Council’s Accuracy Scoping Team work. As shared previously, ICANN initially proposed four scenarios that it would assess to determine whether they could produce useful material for the Accuracy Scoping Team, taking into account current contractual requirements and applicable laws. ICANN has now concluded its assessment of the four scenarios, as well as Data Protection Impact Assessments (DIPA) on scenarios two and four, and identified several deficiencies and challenges in pursuing them. Those challenges are detailed in the attached paper which has also been shared with the ICANN Board as they originally requested this work on the scenarios to help inform the Scoping Team’s efforts. In addition to and in light of the challenges outlined in the paper that indicate that ICANN does not have a legitimate purpose that is proportionate, i.e., not outweighed by the privacy rights of the individual data subject(s) to request Contracted Parties to provide access to individual records as well as bulk access to registration data in order to review the accuracy of registration data, ICANN has identified possible alternative steps that can be taken, which may provide information that helps advance the Accuracy Scoping Team’s work, including the following: * Reviewing existing ICANN Contractual Compliance RAA Audit Program data: This data (see Annex A of the attached report) could be helpful in place of a full “accuracy” audit as originally identified in accuracy scenario 2. ICANN notes that Scoping Team recommendation #2 foresees further exploration of a Registrar audit, but before further considering that path, the Scoping Team could benefit from reviewing the existing data, while taking into account that any future audit will not produce information beyond compliance levels with current obligations under the RAA or more granular data than what is already available through the regular RAA audit program. * Engage with contracted parties on current developments with respect to European policy-making: This engagement, led by ICANN staff, will focus on the likelihood that policymakers may put forward requirements for accuracy of registration data, including verification practices, through legislation. In this case, current European ccTLD identity verification practices, which typically have more onerous registration data accuracy requirements than those for gTLDs, are likely to influence policymakers’ choices for new legislation. We note that the Council has previously sought information on negotiations regarding the Data Processing Agreement between ICANN and its contracted parties, as the Council believes that may impact further work in this regard. The options ICANN has proposed in the attached paper are not dependent on the conclusion of those negotiations. ICANN has sent a separate communication<https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/attachments/20231017/98d72e0e/Swineh…> to the Council in response to the Council’s 3 August 2023 letter<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2023/correspondence/ducos…>. ICANN stands ready to support the ongoing community discussions about the accuracy of gTLD registration data and hopes the information provided in this report will prove useful. Thank you, Yuko Yokoyama

After the CCWG-AP concluded its work in 2020, each Chartering Organization approved the report before it was provided to the ICANN Board for consideration. As you may have seen in blog posts and community sessions, the ICANN Board adopted the CCWG-AP recommendations, and ICANN org is working toward implementation. Attached you will find an update that I sent to the former members of the CCWG-AP (as appointed by your organizations). Last month, the ICANN Board Chair also sent an email to the former members of the CCWG-AP to inform them of the Board’s intention to direct ICANN org to change the implementation path of the CCWG-AP’s Recommendation 7, which was focused on limiting the use of ICANN’s accountability mechanisms to challenge individual application decisions made by the independent assessment panel. As part of its recommendation, the CCWG-AP included that this limitation should be achieved through changing the ICANN Bylaws on the Reconsideration Request and Independent Review Processes to specify this carve out. Instead of touching ICANN’s core accountability mechanisms in the Bylaws, the ICANN Board intends to now direct ICANN org to achieve this recommendation through the applicant terms and conditions that grant applicants will agree to when submitting their grant application. More information can be found in the attached email. Because the Board is looking to direct ICANN org to implement the CCWG-AP’s recommendation to limit access to ICANN’s accountability mechanisms in a different manner than the CCWG-AP contemplated, the Board agreed it was important to give advance notice to those who formed that recommendation. At the same time, acknowledging that the chartering organizations approved the CCWG-AP Final Report and its recommendations, we are also providing this information directly to the Chartering Organizations. In addition, we will make sure that an email exchange with one of the former CCWG-AP members in response to the Chair’s email is moved to a publicly archived mailing list so that there is a transparent record of these communications. A copy of that exchange is also provided for your reference. The Board recognizes the significance of its forthcoming action - both in terms of maintaining the community working group’s recommendation to limit access to ICANN’s accountability mechanisms and in identifying a new, limited path forward to doing so that does not involve changes to these most fundamental of ICANN Bylaws. When taken, the Board’s resolution will be accompanied by a detailed rationale acknowledging the uniqueness of this situation along with the Board’s acknowledgement that contracts should only be considered as tools for limiting the use of ICANN’s accountability mechanism when the community has recommended that access to accountability mechanisms be limited in specific circumstances. The ICANN org team looks forward to providing further public updates on the progress of the ICANN Grant Program across various communication avenues. The creation of the former CCWG-AP members list is one of them, as is this email to you. Recognizing that the former members of the CCWG-AP now act in their individual capacity, please let us know if you are comfortable in having them engage in this conversation or whether it should be held differently. Please let me know any question you may have. Kind regards, Xavier In copy: Tripti Sinha, ICANN Board chair Maarten Botterman, ICANN Board member, chair of the Board Caucus on the Grant Program Sally Costerton, ICANN President and CEO David Olive, SVP Policy Development and Support Giovanni Seppia, VP Implementation Operations Xavier Calvez ICANN SVP Planning and CFO 12025 Waterfront Drive, Suite 300 Los Angeles, California 90094 USA Office phone: +1 310 301 5800 Cell phone: +1 805 312 0052 Skype: Xavier.calvez.icann
