Registration Data Policy Implementation Review Team
by Sebastien＠registry.godaddy 07 Dec '23

07 Dec '23

Dear GNSO Council, The Registration Data Policy IRT has met today to review its position following the GAC letter<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/caballero-to-sinha-23a…> of 23 August 2023 and the RrSG letter<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/heineman-to-sinha-08se…> of 8 September 2023 offering to remove the contentious Urgent Request wording to allow for a speeding publication of the Policy. The IRT going back to the original Recommendation 18 requesting the IRT to “consider” Urgent Requests believes that in essence it has considered the topic and therefore is able to remove the wording from the final policy without requiring further input from either the GNSO Council or the ICANN Board. The IRT also notes that in the spirit of the above mentioned letters, the issue of Urgent Requests is a topic that must be resolved and asks the GNSO Council to consider it and relevantly prioritize it in its work. Kindly, Sebastien Ducos GoDaddy Registry | Senior Client Services Manager [signature_905115032] +33612284445 France & Australia sebastien(a)registry.godaddy<mailto:sebastien@registry.godaddy>

NetMundial 2014 Statement
by Bruna Martins dos Santos 30 Nov '23

30 Nov '23

Hey all, Just wanted to share the NetMundial Declaration from 2014: https://netmundial.br/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/NETmundial-Multistakeholde… >From the document, i'd like to highlight the following parts: *4. There should be adequate communication and coordination among existing forums, task forces and organizations of the Internet governance ecosystem. Periodic reports, formal liaisons and timely feedback are examples of mechanisms that could be implemented to that end. It would be recommendable to analyze the option of creating Internet governance coordination tools to perform on-going monitoring, analysis, and information-sharing functions. 5. In the follow up to the recent and welcomed announcement of US Government with regard to its intent to transition the stewardship of IANA functions, the discussion about mechanisms for guaranteeing the transparency and accountability of those functions after the US Government role ends, has to take place through an open process with the participation of all stakeholders extending beyond the ICANN community. The IANA functions are currently performed under policies developed in processes hosted by several organizations and forums. Any adopted mechanism should protect the bottom up, open and participatory nature of those policy development processes and ensure the stability and resilience of the Internet. It is desirable to discuss the adequate relation between the policy and operational aspects. This transition should be conducted thoughtfully with a focus on maintaining the security and stability of the Internet, empowering the principle of equal participation among all stakeholder groups and striving towards a completed transition by September 2015. 6. It is expected that the process of globalization of ICANN speeds up leading to a truly international and global organization serving the public interest with clearly implementable and verifiable accountability and transparency mechanisms that satisfy requirements from both internal stakeholders and the global community. The active representation from all stakeholders in the ICANN structure from all regions is a key issue in the process of a successful globalization.* Kind regards, -- *Bruna Martins dos Santos * Global Campaigns Manager | Digital Action <http://digitalaction.co> German Chancellor Fellow 21' (Bundeskanzler-Stipendiatin) | Alexander von Humboldt Foundation <https://www.humboldt-foundation.de/> Member | Coalizão Direitos na Rede <https://direitosnarede.org.br/> Co-Coordinator | Internet Governance Caucus <https://igcaucus.org/> Twitter: @boomartins <https://twitter.com/boomartins> // Skype: bruna.martinsantos Email: bruna.mrtns(a)gmail.com

Review of Existing PDP Policies
by Anne ICANN 30 Nov '23

30 Nov '23

Jeff, Regarding the hypothetical from yesterday involving new law passed in Narnia, you mentioned that once a policy is done and adopted by the Board, the Council should not revisit that policy and it's up to the Board to request that if needed. Since you are an original author of the PDP Manual, I am wondering what you make of Section 17, which deals with reviews of past policy recommendations and calls for periodic assessment of PDP policies.

Council review of GAC Communique ICANN 78
by Susan Payne 30 Nov '23

30 Nov '23

All, here are the proposed close to final versions of the GNSO Council responses to GAC Advice and Issues of Importance from ICANN 78. With apologies for the delay in posting, but hopefully you all had reviewed the working versions shared before our Council call on Thursday. Note that these are new versions, with new Google links, and one edit to the issues of importance on which specific input would be welcome. Proposed GNSO Council response to GAC Advice: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1egy-kQtMtn-gHnKviQm7_FIx6zb3A3vDVtYGiEQ… * No changes over the working draft you have seen, just cleaned-up Proposed GNSO Council response to GAC Issues of Importance: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uuIp99LIkmmGGp_a4j9YrnmY3o3-XE6d7bHmUZC…. * One change to the working draft you have seen, which I have added to reflect the current position in the IRT and is being shared with small team members at the same time as circulation to the wider mailing list. With respect to the issue of urgent requests for registration data, this has been updated with a short paragraph noting that the IRT has decided to remove urgent request wording in order to publish the policy, and has asked Council to consider the urgent requests issue further (Sebastien Ducos’ email to Council of 26 October). Views are requested on whether it is necessary for Council to provide a response on this, given that the IRT is not a GNSO-managed process. As previously mentioned, the Board will meet the GAC on 5 December, and so we should aim to send our responses to the Board in advance. If Councillors could provide any comments by 28 November that would be appreciated.

Re: [council] Action - Formation of a CIP-CCG
by 陳曼茹 Manju Chen 30 Nov '23

30 Nov '23

Dear GNSO Councilors, Per the request below, I’d like to volunteer for the role of the GNSO representative on the CIP-CCG. I think my recent work as Chair of the CCOICI compliments this role, but happy to support others who may be interested. Note that we will need to respond by 30 November and staff has confirmed that we don’t need a formal Council decision – non-objection should be fine. Best regards, Manju ------------------------------ *From:* Alperen Eken *Sent:* Friday, October 13, 2023 2:40 PM *To:* soac-chairs(a)icann.org *Subject:* Action - Formation of a CIP-CCG Dear SO/AC Leadership, We would like to thank you again for the opportunity to present the proposal for a Continuous Improvement Program Community Coordination Group (CIP-CCG) on 29 September. On behalf of the ICANN organization Review Support and Accountability team, I am reaching out to leadership of the ICANN Supporting Organizations (SOs) and Advisory Committees (ACs) to plan for implementation of the Third Accountability and Transparency Review (ATRT3) Recommendation 3.6, to evolve Organizational Reviews into a Continuous Improvement Program (CIP). As we reported at the SOAC Roundtable meeting on 29 September, ICANN org proposes the formation of a CIP-CCG to convene in December 2023, with the goal of developing a framework for implementation of ATRT3 Recommendation 3.6. We will be looking forward to having some representatives with familiarity with Organizational Reviews, but also representatives with knowledge of continuous improvement work outside of ICANN; those that can contribute new and innovative ideas for improving the effectiveness and the accountability of the different ICANN structures. There is the importance of striking a balance between representatives with deep ICANN experience, and those that bring new perspectives. Please see attached the *full letter to SOAC Leadership on CIP-CCG and Terms of Reference for a CIP-CCG* documents as discussed and reviewed. The next step is to proceed with this approach by the end of November as mentioned in the letter. We will be happy to address any question or input that your organizations’ members may have by then, and invite you to submit them to larisa.gurnick(a)icann.org and evin.erdogdu(a)icann.org. For transparency of the process, input received will be posted on a community page at https://community.icann.org/x/WJRME. As indicated, we are happy to join any discussions you may have on this topic at the forthcoming ICANN meeting or at any other time. Thank you for your time, *-On behalf of Reviews Support and Accountability* Alp Eken Policy Development Support Senior Specialist Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN)
