Re: [council] Proposed Agenda | Extraordinary GNSO Council Meeting - Outstanding SubPro Related Work | Monday, 05 June 2023 at 20:00 UTC
by Thomas Rickert | rickert.law June 1, 2023

June 1, 2023

Thanks, Terri, hi all, I would appreciate if we could have a discussion in AOB on the question of accuracy in the context of NIS2. The purpose of the discussion would be to hear Councillors’ views on what, if anything, should be done in the near future and also by whom. My proposal shall not be understood as a suggestion that the GNSO should be doing something immediately. In fact, I am not sure the GNSO is the best place to handle accuracy in the light of the tight NIS2 timeline, but we should talk 😊.

This agenda was established according to the GNSO Operating Procedures<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/op-proced…> v3.5, updated on 24 October 2019. For convenience: * An excerpt of the ICANN Bylaws defining the voting thresholds is provided in Appendix 1 at the end of this agenda. * An excerpt from the Council Operating Procedures defining the absentee voting procedures is provided in Appendix 2 at the end of this agenda.

Minutes<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2023/minutes/minutes-gnso…> of the GNSO Council meeting on 15 March 2023 were posted on 30 March 2023. Minutes<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2023/minutes/minutes-gnso…> of the GNSO Council meeting on 20 April 2023 were posted on 07 May 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: COUNCIL DISCUSSION - SubPro - Progress Update on Recommendations Marked as Pending (100 minutes) During its informal session at ICANN76 and the subsequent Council meeting, the Council discussed and agreed<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2023/minutes/minutes-gnso…> to task a small team of interested councilors to review the recommendations that the Board placed in a pending status and suggest to the full Council how the underlying concerns that caused the pending status can be best addressed (i.e., a limited triage exercise). Interested Councilors were asked to volunteer for the Small Team by 15 March 2023. Since ICANN76, the Council SubPro Small Team has met several times and has completed an initial run through of the issues chart, with Board member input on why the Board placed specific recommendations into a pending status. The Council discussed the main output of that triage effort, the proposed paths forward for each pending recommendation, during an Extraordinary Meeting on 4 May. During that meeting, the Council agreed to further task the small team with taking interim steps (e.g., provision is clarifying information, developing speaking points) in order to support the Council’s dialogue with the ICANN Board on 22 May<https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=240617931>. The Council debriefed after the dialogue with the ICANN Board and discussed next steps. The small team has continued to consider what the “landing spots” are for each recommendation, though the Council and small team are still awaiting input from the Board on where they believe the “landing spots” are; ideally, there will be mutual agreement in as many places as possible, which among other things, helps facilitate the development of a more accurate work plan and timeline (i.e., the key deliverable for ICANN77 in respect of the pending recommendations). Here, the Council will discuss the progress the small team has continued to make, discuss additional work that may be needed as a result of where certain recommendations may land, as well as discuss how best to use the time allotted for the pre-ICANN77 all day Council sessions. 3.1 – Introduction of topic (Paul McGrady, Small Team Lead) 3.2 – Council discussion 3.3 – Next steps Item 4: ANY OTHER BUSINESS (5 minutes) _______________________________ 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.
