FW: PLEASE READ - ICANN76 Stakeholders/Board sessions
by Sebastien＠registry.godaddy Feb. 17, 2023

Feb. 17, 2023

Dear Council Colleagues, Please find below a letter from Tripti Sinha on behalf of the Board regarding our session in Cancun. In particular the Board would like for us to respond to the following by March 1st: The final SupPro report assigns resolution of many, potentially complex issues to the Implementation Review Team (IRT). IRTs can - and sometimes have - become bottlenecks, for example, in connection with efforts to relitigate policy outcomes or where there are gaps in the policy being implemented. What concrete steps can the board, org, or community (or all 3 collectively) take to improve the IRT process? Please be as concrete as possible. Please note that as per our discussion with Becky today, I also expect we will receive a list of clarifying questions on the SubPro Recommendations themselves. Kindly, Sebastien Ducos GoDaddy Registry | Senior Client Services Manager [signature_1469584128] +33612284445 France & Australia sebastien(a)registry.godaddy<mailto:sebastien@registry.godaddy> From: Gnso-chairs <gnso-chairs-bounces(a)icann.org> on behalf of Vinciane Koenigsfeld via Gnso-chairs <gnso-chairs(a)icann.org> Date: Tuesday, 14 February 2023 at 7:23 pm To: gnso-chairs(a)icann.org <gnso-chairs(a)icann.org> Cc: becky.burr(a)board.icann.org <becky.burr(a)board.icann.org>, matthew.shears(a)board.icann.org <matthew.shears(a)board.icann.org> Subject: [gnso-chairs] PLEASE READ - ICANN76 Stakeholders/Board sessions Caution: This email is from an external sender. Please do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Forward suspicious emails to isitbad@. Sent on behalf of Tripti Sinha, Chair, ICANN Board of Directors Dear Generic Names Supporting Organization Council Leaders, *Please reply no later than Wednesday 1 March 2023* The Board and I very much look forward to welcoming and meeting with you during ICANN76 in Cancún, between 11-16 March. It is with great pleasure and excitement that we are finally going to Mexicó, after having had to cancel the in-person component of both ICANN67 and ICANN70. We are grateful to our friends and stakeholders in Latin America for their patience and understanding in the process, and delighted to say ¡ Cancún aquí vamos! (Cancún, here we are!). The last three years have certainly proven eventful for all of us, but in unison with ICANN organization, we are more determined than ever to work closely with you to make 2023 and the many years after that, productive and successful. This time in particular, the Board proposes a slight change in the approach to our bilateral sessions. We understood that there was an appetite for questions more tailored to each stakeholder group’s needs. Therefore, we will not be sending the same question from the Board to all of you. Having said this, to maintain our commitment to transparency, all of the questions the Board to sends to each group will be published in the Community Digest. The second improvement that we are putting in place starting at ICANN76, is to provide you with a summary of what we heard from you during these bilateral sessions. This summary will be in two forms: 1. A blog highlighting key take aways from ICANN76 (and every ICANN meeting after that) 2. Summaries of bilateral sessions will be included in the Policy Outcomes Report we publish after each ICANN meeting These are only initial steps, and we will continue to discuss with you ways improve the way we interact moving forward. In the meantime, please find herewith the questions we would like to ask your Group ahead of our joint session in Cancún: The final SupPro report assigns resolution of many, potentially complex issues to the Implementation Review Team (IRT). IRTs can - and sometimes have - become bottlenecks, for example, in connection with efforts to relitigate policy outcomes or where there are gaps in the policy being implemented. What concrete steps can the board, org, or community (or all 3 collectively) take to improve the IRT process? Please be as concrete as possible. We look forward to hearing your thoughts on this soon. We would be grateful if you could send to Board Operations (board-ops-team(a)icann.org<mailto:board-ops-team@icann.org>) the questions you would like the Board to address during our face-to-face meetings. Given the finite time available for these meetings, please list your questions in order of priority. We would also appreciate getting your questions no later than Wednesday 1 March, 2023. We thank you in advance for your time on this matter. Best regards, Tripti Sinha Chair, ICANN Board of Directors

ICANN76 First Ever GNSO Town Hall meeting | Sunday 12 March from 16:30 - 17:30 local time
by Nathalie Peregrine Feb. 16, 2023

Feb. 16, 2023

Dear councilors, Please find below the message circulated to your Stakeholder Group and Constituency Chairs. Thank you, Nathalie _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Dear Stakeholder Group and Constituency Chairs, To encourage GNSO community engagement with the GNSO Council, we would like to invite you to attend the first ever GNSO Town Hall meeting which is planned for Sunday 12 March from 16.30 – 17.30 local time. The Council has been considering how to facilitate engagement and collaboration with the GNSO community which has resulted in this first ever GNSO Town Hall meeting. The objective is to have an open and frank discussion with the GNSO Community during which any topics or questions can be raised. One particular topic that the Council would like to draw your attention to is the recent Council Strategic Planning session and the strategic priorities that came out of that meeting (see meeting report<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2023/correspondence/gnso-…>): * Develop and implement improvements that ensure that policy recommendations are “Board ready” when these are considered for adoption by the GNSO Council. · Ensure timely input into the Board’s consideration of the SubPro ODP and related policy recommendations, as well as keeping a close eye on dependencies that are within the Council’s remit to address with the aim of getting the Board into a position to be able to agree and announce a next round date before the end of this Council session / year. · Engage in further conversations with the ICANN Board as well as the GNSO community concerning how ODP type input and assessment can be developed prior to GNSO Council consideration of policy recommendations. · Consider how to create further transparency in small team deliberations. · Consider how to ensure enhanced uptake and use of the techniques of the Consensus Playbook with a specific focus on scoping and chartering, learning from approaches applied in efforts such as the facilitated dialogue on Closed Generics. · Exploring incentives for compromising and promoting opportunities for mutual gain. The Council would welcome your ideas/suggestions for how to ensure that the Council is able to meet these strategic priorities. The Council also welcomes your feedback after this session on whether this is a welcome approach to encourage such engagement or whether alternative paths should be explored. If you would like to submit any topics or questions in advance of the meeting, please submit these to gnso-secs(a)icann.org<mailto:gnso-secs@icann.org> with “GNSO Town Hall” as the subject. We look forward to welcoming you on Sunday 12 March! Kind regards, Nathalie

GNSO Council resolutions 16 February 2023
by Terri Agnew Feb. 16, 2023

Feb. 16, 2023

Dear all, Please find below the resolutions from the GNSO Council meeting on Thursday, 16 February 2023, which will be posted shortly on the GNSO Council resolutions <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions/20…> page. CONSENT AGENDA Nomination of a Member of the Fellowship Selection Committee Submitted by: Greg DiBiase Seconded by: John McElwaine Whereas, 1. On 11 November 2022, the ICANN Fellowship Program invited<https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/105383387/digest_2022_11No…> the GNSO to nominate one individual to serve as member of the Fellowship Selection Committee<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/fellowship-selection-committee> for six consecutive ICANN meetings beginning with ICANN78. 2. On 9 December 2022, the GNSO launched<https://gnso.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-09dec22-en.htm> an Expression of Interest (EOI) process to solicit volunteers for the GNSO-nominated position. 3. The GNSO Council tasked the GNSO Standing Selection Committee (SSC) with reviewing applications and recommending one individual for the GNSO to nominate. 4. The SSC reviewed the applications received, taking into account the criteria outlined in the EOI announcement. 5. The SSC submitted its full consensus recommendation to the GNSO Council on 06 February 2023, by way of submission of the relevant motion. 6. The GNSO Council considered the recommendations of the SSC. Resolved, 1. The GNSO nominates Taiwo Peter Akinremi to serve as a Fellowship Selection Committee member for six consecutive ICANN meetings, beginning with ICANN78. 2. The GNSO Council instructs the GNSO Secretariat to communicate resolved #1 to staff supporting the ICANN Fellowship Program. 3. The GNSO Council instructs the GNSO Secretariat to inform the nominated candidate that he has been selected. 4. The GNSO Council requests the GNSO Secretariat to send a response to the applicants who were not nominated, thanking them for their interest and encouraging them to apply for future opportunities as they arise. Vote results<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2023/vote-result/gnso-cou…> CONSENT AGENDA Adoption of the Revised Charter for the Budget and Operations Townhall Submitted by: Greg DiBiase Seconded by: John McElwaine Whereas, 1. In 2017 the GNSO Council expressed its desire to establish the GNSO Standing Committee on Budget and Operations (SCBO) to assist with the development of GNSO Council comments that relate to ICANN's Budgetary and Finance matters; 2. On 21 December 2017, the GNSO Council adopted the formation of the SCBO and its interim charter; 3. In FY18, the SCBO developed four public comments (IANA-PTI FY19 Budget, ICANN's Reserve Fund Target Level, ICANN's Draft FY19 Budget and Operating Plan, and ICANN Reserve Fund: Proposed Replenishment Strategy) on behalf of the GNSO Council that were later accepted and posted to ICANN's public forum; 4. On 24 October 2018, the GNSO Council voted to adopt the charter for the GNSO Standing Committee on Budget and Operations (SCBO) on a permanent basis; 5. On an annual basis, the SCBO developed and provided drafts public comment to the GNSO Council on the IANA-PTI Budget and ICANN’s Draft Budget and Operating Plan, which upon non-objection from the Council, were submitted to the relevant public comment proceeding; 6. Interest and engagement in the SCBO has waned and the substance of public comments has diminished; 7. The GNSO Council identified an opportunity to evolve the SCBO to better align with the needs of the Council as well as establish a consistent platform for the Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies to engage with the Finance and Planning team in a more streamlined and collaborative manner; and, 8. The GNSO Council leadership team coordinated with the GNSO Council and Stakeholder Group and Constituency leadership teams to ensure that they are supportive of the change to the SCBO. Resolved, 1. The GNSO Council adopts the revised Charter<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2023/draft/draft-scbo-cha…> for the Budget and Operations Townhall (formerly known as the SCBO). 2. The GNSO Council thanks the Council members and subject matter experts that have contributed to the SCBO throughout its lifespan. Vote results<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2023/vote-result/gnso-cou…> 20230216-2 Motion - Approval of a Project Change Request (PCR) to Update the Project Plan of the Transfer Policy Review (TPR) Policy Development Process (PDP) Submitted by: Osvaldo Novoa Seconded by: Greg Dibiase Whereas, 1. On 18 February 2021, the GNSO Council voted<https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions/2020-current#202102> to initiate a PDP to review the Transfer Policy. 2. On 24 March 2021, the GNSO Council approved<https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions/2020-current#20210324-3> the PDP working group’s charter, which anticipated a two-phase approach to completing the PDP’s work. 3. The working group began meeting in May 2021 and has made substantial progress, including publication of an Initial Report on Phase 1(a) topics, review of public comments on the Phase 1(a) Initial Report, and preliminary deliberations on Phase 1(b) topics. 4. In the course of considering the Phase 1 charter questions, the working group identified dependencies between charter topics that require the working group to make progress on certain Phase 2 topics (Transfer Emergency Action Contact (TEAC), reversal of a transfer, and Transfer Dispute Resolution Policy (TDRP)) before Phase 1 deliberations on inter-registrar and inter-registrant transfers can be completed. 5. The working group has determined that the best path forward is to consolidate its work into a single phase, which will allow the working group to consider all topics in the charter iteratively. This approach will result in delivery of a second Initial Report covering all topics in the charter and a single Final Report. 6. The working group anticipates that with this new approach, the PDP will conclude a year earlier than originally anticipated, because there will be fewer discrete deliverables and public comment periods. 7. The Working Group leadership team submitted a Project Change Request outlining the full rationale for updating the project plan. Resolved, 1. The GNSO Council approves this Project Change Request. 2. The GNSO Council instructs policy support staff to update the TPR project plan, charter, and other materials accordingly and post on the working group wiki. Vote results<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2023/vote-result/gnso-cou…> Thank you. Kind regards, Terri
