Fwd: Attendance record
by Anne ICANN May 21, 2024

May 21, 2024

Dear Councilors, I am providing an update on the SPIRT Charter Drafting Team work in my role as Council Liaison. With help from Steve and Saewon, we are making progress but there are concerns regarding attendance. Could you please follow up with your respective stakeholder groups and constituencies to encourage attendance and participation in this drafting process? We need broad participation in order to present the best possible output for Council to review in July. As mentioned in chat in our last Council meeting in relation to the Action Decision Radar, there are some possible variations to the Sub Pro Final Report Annex E Implementation Guidance being discussed by this team so it's especially important for everyone who signed up to in fact participate. Beyond those members represented on the Council per se, many thanks to Alan Greenberg of the ALAC for acting as Vice Chair and bringing the issue of poor attendance by some to our attention. Thanks as well to Nigel Hickson for his input into the Charter document and his participation in the meetings on behalf of the GAC. Special thanks to Nitin Walia for his able chairing of the meetings!

FW: [Ext] FOLLOW UP: Update on ICANN org work on the IGO Program (on aspects other than implementation of the Curative Rights policy)

Dear Councilors, Please see the update below regarding the various IGO-related projects. Hopefully we will have enough information to discuss during our Council meeting at ICANN 80.

As you may remember, the Council is very eager to see this work commence, and has requested a firm timeline on next steps. I am requesting any updates you may have.

Please therefore find attached a diagram that we hope is clear and accessible, showing the work under the Program and what stage each is in as well as where the responsibility lies for a number of the activities.

This was for ICANN org to share a preliminary timeline for all the current work streams relating to IGO protections, including preparatory work towards the release of the temporarily-reserved IGO acronyms. The IGO Program team had originally thought we could include this update during the GNSO Council’s session with the Global Domains & Strategy (GDS) team at the GNSO Working Session on Sunday 3 March. However, given the number of topics to be covered in that session, which we also understand will be focused on current GDS policy implementation projects, we thought it might be more appropriate to provide an email update. To recap, ICANN org’s ongoing work streams relating to IGO second-level protections are: 1. implementing the Board-adopted recommendations from the two completed GNSO policy efforts a. These are the four GNSO Council-approved recommendations from the 2019 PDP on IGO-INGO Access to Curative Rights Protection Mechanisms and the five recommendations from the 2022 EPDP on Specific Curative Rights Protections for IGOs. 1. work directed towards releasing the currently-reserved acronyms of those IGOs on the list that the GAC submitted to ICANN in 2013 a. This includes the development of a permanent system to notify IGOs on the GAC’s list when a third party registers a second-level domain name that matches that IGO’s acronym as well as work to ensure that the IGO contact list for this purpose is updated and accurate. Our GDS colleagues will cover item (1) as part of their implementation updates at the GNSO Working Session this Sunday. On item (2), the IGO Program team continues to support the Board in its discussion and review of the GAC’s advice in the ICANN76 Cancun Communique [gac.icann.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/gac.icann.org/advice/communiques/icann76…> (March 2023) to “maintain the current moratorium on the registration of IGO acronyms as domain names in New gTLDs presently in place until the full implementation of the recommendations of the EPDP on Specific Curative Rights Protections.” This advice follows from the GAC’s ICANN71 Communique [gac.icann.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/gac.icann.org/contentMigrated/icann71-ga…> as well as subsequent correspondence [gac.icann.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/gac.icann.org/contentMigrated/gac-respon…> where the GAC clarified its intention that the IGO acronyms should remain reserved until implementation of the Curative Rights policy recommendations is completed. At this time, we are therefore not in a position to provide an estimated timeline for when the IGO acronyms can be released from reservation. We do, however, wish to let you know that ICANN org’s work on the proposed<https://www.icann.org/en/board-activities-and-meetings/materials/approved-r…> IGO notification system continues. and we are also working to ensure that the IGO contact list is updated and accurate, as this will be necessary to ensure effective operationalization of the planned notification system when it is launched. The team is confident that we will complete these work streams in a timely manner, such that they will not delay any expected action by the Board to release the IGO acronyms from the reserved list. In this regard, we note that ICANN org has stated [newgtlds.icann.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/newgtlds.icann.org/sites/default/files/n…> publicly that developing the notification system is a strategic dependency for delegating the first new gTLDs in the next round. We understand that members of the community wish to understand more clearly the dependencies and considerations around the scope and timelines of all these work streams. The IGO Program team will be happy to meet with the GNSO Council and community to discuss the matter further, at your convenience. Thank you. Best regards, Mary
