The GNSO Council held its seventh Strategic Planning Session in Washington, DC from November 29, 2023 to December 1, 2023. 2. During the Strategic Planning Session, the GNSO Council focused its main discussions on what it means to be the “Manager of the Policy Development Process (PDP)” and how to effectively lead as focused PDP managers. 3. GNSO Councilors agreed that it would be beneficial to develop a common understanding of how outputs from the bottom-up multistakeholder model should be voted upon at the Council level. 4. The GNSO Council agreed to the following action items from the Strategic Planning Session, “Council to develop an aspirational (non-binding) statement to reflect that Councilors should not seek to undo bottom-up consensus-driven outcomes of GNSO WGs. Once [the aspirational statement] is complete, Councilors to leverage the aspirational statement to build awareness within their respective SG/Cs.” 5. During ICANN79, Council leadership proposed a draft aspirational statement, and GNSO Councilors discussed and proposed several revisions to the draft, ultimately agreeing to the following aspirational statement<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2024/presentation/aspirat…>. RESOLVED, 1. The GNSO Council adopts the GNSO Council Aspirational Statement. 2. The GNSO Council directs GNSO Support staff to post the Aspirational Statement on the GNSO website. Vote results<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2024/vote-result/gnso-cou…> 20240612-2 Motion to Defer Request for Policy Status Report on Expiration Policies Submitted by: Greg DiBiase WHEREAS, 1. In October 2020, the GNSO Council considered the timing to request a Policy Status Report (PSR) to conduct a review of the two Expiration Policies, the Expired Domain Deletion Policy<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/registars/accreditation/eddp-en> (EDDP) and the Expired Registration Recovery Policy<https://www.icann.org/en/resources/registrars/consensus-policies/errp> (ERRP) and <https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2020/minutes/minutes-gnso…> agreed to defer<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2020/minutes/minutes-gnso…> consideration for 24 months given concerns about capacity; 2. In July 2022, the Council revisited the question of when to request a PSR and <https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2022/minutes/minutes-gnso…> agreed<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2022/minutes/minutes-gnso…> that, prior to proceeding with a PSR or deferral, the GNSO Council should consult with registrars and ICANN Compliance to determine if there are any known issues or concerns with the two Expiration Policies that could warrant requesting a PSR; 3. On 1 November 2022, ICANN org provided a <https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2022-November/026164.html> report<https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2022-November/026164.html> on the Expiration Policies and presented the report to the GNSO Council during its <https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2022/minutes/minutes-gnso…> November 2022 meeting<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2022/minutes/minutes-gnso…>; 4. Following discussion of the ICANN org <https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2022-November/026164.html> report<https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2022-November/026164.html>, a small team of Councilors reviewed the report and the previous feedback from registrars and presented its <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zxxyIsg7HVGtAK7HsaTfw3nMX_zZfY3hUrdiDoa…> recommendation<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zxxyIsg7HVGtAK7HsaTfw3nMX_zZfY3hUrdiDoa…> to the GNSO Council during its <https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2023/minutes/minutes-gnso…> March 2023 meeting<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2023/minutes/minutes-gnso…>; 5. The GNSO Council agreed to the small team’s recommendation to request additional information from ICANN org regarding what expiration-related educational materials are currently published and whether additional information can be provided; 6. On 14 February 2024, ICANN org delivered a <https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2024-February/027778.html> summary<https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2024-February/027778.html> of the current educational materials on domain name renewal and expiration and presented it during the February 2024 meeting<https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocouncilmeetings/Final+Proposed+Agen…>; 7. Having considered (i) the input from the Registrar Stakeholder Group, who was asked to flag substantial issues with the policies that would warrant a near team request for policy status report and did not note any issues, (ii) the <https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2022-November/026164.html> report<https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2022-November/026164.html> from ICANN org, which noted confusion with key terms in the policy and registrant confusion with the auto-renew grace period and aftermarket activities, et.al., and (iii) the <https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2024-February/027778.html> catalog<https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2024-February/027778.html> of available educational resources on domain name expiration and renewal, the GNSO Council determined that the Expiration Policies present no urgent need for immediate policy work; 8. During its discussion on 16 May 2024<https://icann.zoom.us/rec/play/KhcJ9a0WQIb66_oqrPekZLxdZcrYW409GFcjpzEvfW9K…>, the Council discussed the option of adding the PSR request to ICANN org’s queue of work instead of deferring the request for two years, noting the analysis should be done but not as an urgent priority. RESOLVED, 1. The GNSO Council requests a Policy Status Report (PSR) for the Expedited Domain Deletion Policy (EDDP) and Expedited Registration Recovery Policy (ERRP). 2. The GNSO Council notes immediate work is not needed on this PSR and would request either (i) delivery of the PSR or (ii) confirmation that work on the PSR has begun and an updated estimate on when the PSR should be delivered, in one (1) year from the passage of this motion. 3. The GNSO Council leadership directs GNSO Policy Support Staff to notify ICANN org Global Domains & Services of the request for a PSR on the EDDP and ERRP. Vote results<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2024/vote-result/gnso-cou…> Thank you. Kind regards, Terri Policy Team Supporting the GNSO
