Proposed Letter to GAC re: SOI
by Jeff Neuman 08 Apr '24

08 Apr '24

All, Please find at the link below a proposed first draft of a letter to the GAC<https://docs.google.com/document/d/145cXGFHFVChWZSd8-tL1ce5xNRafLwYHfIe4PIm…> as discussed during the last GNSO Council meeting. The letter attempts to summarize the positions of each SG/C on the professional ethics exemption to the SOI as expressed in Annex A of the CCOICI's Task Force's Recommendations Report. [https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/docs/AHkbwyJh3R_SqwlFmn3nMXJV2fTpwVSmV…]<https://docs.google.com/document/d/145cXGFHFVChWZSd8-tL1ce5xNRafLwYHfIe4PIm…> SOI Letter from GNSO Council<https://docs.google.com/document/d/145cXGFHFVChWZSd8-tL1ce5xNRafLwYHfIe4PIm…> docs.google.com Yes, we can just send a letter attaching word for word what Annex A states (and I do attach it to this letter). However, I believe I have accurately summarized those 7 pages or so into just over 2 pages. I essentially use mostly quotes from the actual positions taken, but eliminated some of the examples and restatements in those positions. I believe the summaries, however, will be much more easily digestible by those that may not have the time to read every word. This is just a first draft and I hand it over to the Council to take it from here if it finds this helpful. [The Google Doc itself has a link to the Recommendations Report] Sincerely, Jeff Neuman GNSO Liaison to GAC Google Link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/145cXGFHFVChWZSd8-tL1ce5xNRafLwYHfIe4PIm… [cid:84c5f476-0b69-4491-828c-80b19db75422]

Hello, We confirm receipt and the motion has now been added on the wiki motion page<https://community.icann.org/x/AYDyEg>. This will need someone to second it.

Replacement of Council representative to the CIP-CCG
by 陳曼茹 Manju Chen 05 Apr '24

05 Apr '24

Hi all, You might recall I volunteered to represent the Council to the cross community group on continuous improvement program (CIP-CCG). I've been struggling to attend the calls of the CIP-CCG due to its difficult meeting times. Currently, the CIP-CCG is scheduled bi-weekly with 2 meeting times, 14:00UTC and 20:00UTC. This means I'll be a standing apology for the 20:00UTC call and miss every other call, which I don't think is ideal as the single representative for the Council. I've discussed with the staff of CIP-CCG several times about adding one more timeslot to its rotation, but unfortunately there's nothing they can do. Therefore, I'm writing to you to apologize and ask for a replacement. The task itself is not heavy just the timing is terrible for those who are based in APAC. I would be happy to stay as an alternate to our new representative in the future, but I'd be grateful if we have a new representative ASAP. Thank you! Best, Manju

Reminder: Open Items from ICANN 79
by DiBiase, Gregory 04 Apr '24

04 Apr '24

Dear Councilors, This is a follow up on the below email. RE: the public comment on the bylaw amendment: Leadership has not received feedback on any SG/C position. However, I can share the tentative RrSG position: the RrSG does not support broadening the original scope of the bylaws amendment beyond that contemplated in recommendation 7 of the CCWG AP (i.e. limiting removal of the accountability mechanisms just for the auction grant program). Among other things, the RrSG is concerned that this broadened scope vests undue power in CCWGs to disallow accountability mechanisms going forward by removing the community safeguard afforded by following a formal bylaws amendment. Given that Council would need a unified position to submit a public comment, I invite councilors to indicate whether their SG's position may align with the RrSG's position. Please provide feedback by 26 March to leave time to draft a comment. If not, I encourage SG's to submit their own public comments (Council's role as a member of the Empowered Community is not strictly relevant at this stage -- a response is not strictly necessary now) RE: ATRT4 Please note any objections to supporting a deferral of ATRT4. If there are none, a short letter will be sent by Council Leadership supporting a deferral at EOD 22 March. Thanks, Greg From: DiBiase, Gregory Sent: Thursday, March 14, 2024 7:02 AM To: COUNCIL(a)GNSO.ICANN.ORG Subject: Open Items from ICANN 79 Dear Councilors, We are sending this "open items" email because several items require attention before our next scheduled meeting on April 18. Please see the action items listed below each issue. CCWG Auction Proceeds; Public Comment on Bylaw Amendment Deadline: 15 April 2024 Material: https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/proposed-bylaws-updates-… Action Item: Designate Councilor to solicit feedback from your SG on whether they support the proposed amendment and help draft public comment from Council. We plan to submit a comment if we can reach a unified a position. ATRT 4 Deadline: 22 March 2024 Material: (letter from Theresa attached) Summary: Given the number of items still in progress from ATRT3 (pilot holistic review, CCOICI, actual holistic review), ICANN is asking for feedback on whether ARTRT 4 can be deferred. Action Item: Consult with your SGs to determine if there are any objections to supporting a deferral of ATRT4. If there are none, I think a relatively short letter can be sent by Council Leadership supporting a deferral. Small Team Guidelines Deadline: 18 April Council Meeting (but deadline can be moved if more discussion is warranted) Material: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1j5vDURSuz65R1gZxgxLKsK9H5cI_ux0YixAP9Xh… Action Item: Review document and make any comments (please submit feedback in comment form so edits are easier to manage). We plan to submit a motion to adopt at April's Council meeting. GAC Liaison Guidelines Deadline: 18 April Council Meeting (but deadline can be moved if more discussion is warranted) Material: Action Item: Review document and make any comments (please submit feedback in comment form so edits are easier to manage). We plan to submit a motion to adopt at the April's meeting but recognize more discussion may be needed. Proposed Amendment to Recommendation 7 Deadline: May 17 (after our April meeting), but we are including here because it is related (in subject matter) to the proposed bylaw amendment referenced above. Material: (letter from Tripti attached) Action Item: Consult with your SGs to determine if there are objections to the proposed revision of recommendation 7. We can discuss at our April meeting and prepare a response before the 17 May deadline. Thanks, Greg
