by Steve Chan July 25, 2023

July 25, 2023

FYI, staff just sent the updated ICANN77 deliverable for SubPro Related Activities to our Board Operations team, to of course be shared with the Board. From: Steve Chan <steve.chan(a)icann.org> Date: Tuesday, July 25, 2023 at 3:24 PM To: Board Ops Team <board-ops-team(a)icann.org> Cc: "gnso-chairs(a)icann.org" <gnso-chairs(a)icann.org> Subject: Updated: ICANN77 Deliverable Work plan & Timeline for SubPro Related Activities Dear ICANN Board Ops, Please find attached a letter from Sebastien Ducos, GNSO Chair, to the ICANN Board, in order to provide an updated version of the ICANN77 deliverable (i.e., work plan and timelines document for several SubPro related activities). This is a direct follow-up to this existing piece of correspondence on the icann.org site: https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/ducos-to-sinha-15jun23… and in particular, shares an updated timeline for the EPDP on IDNs.

FYI, I have also attached the updated deliverable as a Word document with changes captured as redlines.

Re: [council] Action Items - GNSO Council meeting 20 July 2023
by Steve Chan July 25, 2023

July 25, 2023

Dear Councilors, In respect of the following action item that is connected to the Council’s Small Team on the Pending SubPro Recommendation, I have a brief update and a request for Councilors: “Staff to notify the SubPro Board Caucus leads that they can inform the ICANN Board that the clarifying statement is stable.” The update is that Avri Doria and Becky Burr, the Board SubPro Caucus co-leads, have been informed and are aware that the Council’s draft Clarifying Statement<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2023/draft/draft-sub-pro-…> is stable, after having been discussed during the Council’s July meeting. However, stable does not equate to finalized. The Board SubPro caucus will be reviewing the draft Clarifying Statement and if applicable, will inform the small team of any concerns with the text. The request to Councilors is that they review the draft Clarifying Statement carefully as well and share their concerns, if any, with the small team. The small team, which meets every Monday, will seek to finalize the document no later than 14 August 2023 (i.e., the motions and documents deadline for the August deadline). Please take that into account in providing any necessary feedback to the small team.
