Minutes<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2023/minutes/minutes-gnso…> of the GNSO Council meeting on 19 January 2023 were posted on 02 February 2023. Item 2: Opening Remarks / Review of Projects & Action List (0 minutes) 2.1 - Review focus areas and provide updates on specific key themes / topics, to include review of Projects List <https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/project> and Action Item List. <https://community.icann.org/x/RgZlAg> Item 3: Consent Agenda (5 minutes) * Nomination of a Mentor for the ICANN Fellowship Selection Committee - Taiwo Peter Akinremi * Motion<https://community.icann.org/x/zQOBDQ> for the Adoption of the Revised Charter<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2023/draft/draft-scbo-cha…> for the Budget and Operations Townhall Item 4: COUNCIL VOTE - Adoption of the Amended Charter for the Transfer Policy Review PDP and Approval of the Policy Change Request (20 Minutes) The Council initiated the two-phased Transfer Policy Review PDP in February 2021. Since it began meeting in May 2021, the WG has made steady progress on its Phase 1 charter questions, including publishing its Phase 1A Initial Report<https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/initial-report-on-the-tr…> for public comment. The WG conducted preliminary deliberations on Phase 1B topics during the Phase 1A Initial Report public comment period, then reviewed public comments on the Phase 1A Initial Report, and is now completing revisions to preliminary recommendations, taking into account public comment received. In the course of Phase 1 work conducted to date, the WG discovered that certain Phase 2 topics must be addressed before Phase 1 recommendations can be fully developed. As a result, the leadership team prepared a Policy Change Request (PCR<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2023/correspondence/carne…>) to update its work plan to consolidate all work into a single phase and change the order in which topics are considered. This will impact the timeline for key deliverables. In order to ensure that Council fully understood the potential changes prior to being asked to accept the Project Change Request (PCR), the changes and potential implications were shared with the Council and reviewed during the January meeting. Because the PDP was initially chartered in two phases, as a consequence of the PCR, the charter requires minor revisions to remove references to phases. Here, the Council will approve the amended Charter <https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2023/correspondence/novoa…> and approve the PCR for the Transfer Policy Review PDP. 4.1 – Presentation of motion - (Osvaldo Novoa, GNSO Council Liaison, Transfer Policy Review PDP) 4.2 – Council discussion 4.3 – Council vote (voting threshold: simple majority) Taking this action is within the GNSO’s remit as outlined in ICANN’s Bylaws as the GNSO ‘shall be responsible for developing and recommending to the Board substantive policies relating to generic top-level domains and other responsibilities of the GNSO as set forth in these Bylaws’ (Art.11.1). Furthermore, this action complies with the requirements set out in Annex A: GNSO Policy Development Process of the ICANN Bylaws. Item 5: COUNCIL DISCUSSION - Update on the Council Committee for Overseeing and Implementing Continuous Improvements (CCOICI)’s Working Group Self-Assessment Recommendations Report and Update from the Statement of Interest (SOI) Task Force (20 minutes) The GNSO Council resolved<https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions/2020-current#202106> on 16 June 2021 to initiate the Council Committee for Overseeing and Implementing Continuous Improvements (CCOICI) as a pilot, which included the review of the Working Group Self-Assessment as one of the two areas of focus. The CCOICI started the Working Group Self-Assessment assignment in October 2021 and concluded its work on this assignment in February 2022. However, the CCOICI deferred conducting the public comment until it could be combined with recommendations related to the GNSO Statement of Interest (SOI). The consolidated public comment proceeding<https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/updates-to-the-gnso-stat…> on Proposed Updates to the GNSO Operating Procedures was initiated on 09 September 2022 and closed on 14 November 2022. The CCOICI integrated public comments as appropriate and submitted its Recommendations Report to the Council on 5 January 2023. Here, the Council will receive an update on both the CCOICI’s Working Group Self-Assessment Recommendations Report. In addition, an update will be provided on the work of the the GNSO SOI Task Force (TF). 5.1 – Introduction of topic (Manju Chen, Chair of the CCOICI) 5.2 – Council discussion 5.3 - Next steps Item 6: COUNCIL DISCUSSION - ICANN76 Meeting Planning (15 minutes) The ICANN76 Community Forum is scheduled from 11-16 March 2023. With the meeting quickly approaching, the GNSO Council has a number of sessions that require advance planning. The Draft ICANN76 Schedule<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2023/draft/draft-gnso-ica…> was shared on 20 January 2023 and the various GNSO Council related sessions were briefly discussed. Those sessions include: * PDP/EPDP meetings on Saturday. * The GNSO working sessions (3) are scheduled for Sunday. * The joint meeting with the ccNSO on Monday. * The joint meeting with the ICANN Board on Tuesday. * The public Council meeting on Wednesday. * The GNSO Council wrap-up on Thursday. Here, the Council will discuss and prepare for the various Council-related sessions scheduled during ICANN76. 6.1 – Introduction of topic (Council leadership) 6.2 – Council discussion 6.3 - Next steps Item 7: COUNCIL DISCUSSION - PDP Improvements item #8 (Review of the Policy & Implementation recommendations) (15 minutes) The GNSO Council established a PDP Improvements Tracker<https://community.icann.org/display/GNSOPDPIT> in order to provide an aggregated view of the various proposed improvements that have been identified from a number of different initiatives., which include: * Council Strategic Planning Session (SPS) Action Item – how to improve support for and follow up on policy recommendations post-Council adoption * Operational Design Phase * Modifying Consensus Policies * PDP 3.0 Parking Lot Items * Review of Policy & Implementation Recommendations For item #8 (Review of the Policy & Implementation recommendations) and the agreed next step (“Staff support team to provide further detail on what a policy status report (PSR) would be expected to cover”), staff circulated a background note on a possible PSR on the Policy & Implementation Recommendations<https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2023-January/026461.html> on 20 January 2023. Here, the Council will discuss the background note and consider next steps. 7.1 – Introduction of topic (Council leadership) 7.2 – Council discussion 7.3 - Next steps Item 8: COUNCIL DISCUSSION - Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) Review Next Steps (15 minutes) After the approval of the Phase 1 Final Report of the GNSO Policy Development Process (PDP) on the Review of All Rights Protection Mechanisms (RPMs) in All gTLDs in January 2021, the Council discussed the need to review the RPMs charter in advance of launching Phase 2 of the PDP. The Council determined that a Policy Status Report (PSR) should be requested from ICANN org, in order to better understand if new issues or information has emerged that would be relevant to a comprehensive review of the policy. ICANN org’s Global Domains and Strategy (GDS) team completed the draft PSR and published it for public comment on 3 March 2022; the revised PSR<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/udrp-stat…> was shared with the Council on 18 July 2022 and the Council then received a briefing from GDS during the July meeting. During this meeting and subsequent meetings, there seemed to be support from the Council to delay next steps based on a number of reasons, primarily though because of the amount of competing work. The Council agreed during its November meeting that because of the launch of the Phase 1 RPMs Implementation Review Team (IRT), which would likely have overlapping community support with a Phase 2 PDP, that the delay for next steps should be tied to the completion or key milestones for the IRT Here, the Council will receive an update from the Council’s liaison to the RPMs IRT to better understand precise timing for delaying Phase 2 next steps. 8.1 – Introduction of topic (John McElwaine, GNSO Council liaison to the Rights Protection Mechanisms IRT) 8.2 – Council discussion 8.3 - Next steps Item 9: ANY OTHER BUSINESS (5 minutes) 9.1 - Standing Selection Committee (SSC) process feedback 9.2 - Update on Closed Generics Facilitated Dialogue _______________________________ Appendix 1: GNSO Council Voting Thresholds (ICANN Bylaws, Article 11, Section 11.3(i)) See https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#article11.
