RySG Comment to Council Draft letter to Board
by kurt kjpritz.com 03 Sep '24

03 Sep '24

Dear Council Leadership: The RySG has reviewed the proposed letter to the ICANN Board regarding the Board rejection of the IPC Auction Proceeds Request for Reconsideration and appreciates the work of the collaborative small team that put it together. After consideration and discussion, the RySG respectfully suggests that the letter might have a better chance of achieving its desired effect if it is somewhat refocussed and simplified. For example, the Council case is not about the merits of the reconsideration request, as the Board has already agreed to pursue a Bylaws change. Therefore, we could remove substantive references to the auction proceeds model as those references serve to distract from our key point about the Board’s response to the reconsideration request. We also think that the Board is unlikely to issue a statement as requested by the letter. The Board will likely receive advice that it should not make a statement. In any case, such a statement would put an end to the discussion without dealing with the matter at hand. Instead, we believe the letter should explain why the Board response was possibly problematic, state that the Council is concerned about what this means for future reconsideration requests, and seek to place this topic on the agenda for its meeting with the Board in Istanbul. As this is a matter that could affect other SOs and ACs, it may also be appropriate for the Council to suggest that it be added to the agenda of the SO, AC and SG teams that are meeting with the Board prior to the ICANN meeting in Istanbul. We hope you accept this input in the constructive nature intended as we share the goal of the drafters to have a constructive and iterative discussion on this topic with the Board to ensure a mutual understanding of concerns. Sincerely, Jennifer, Nacho, and Kurt on behalf of the RySG

Board Letter on ASP
by Lawrence O. Olawale-Roberts 03 Sep '24

03 Sep '24

Dear All, I committed to turning in a draft as a response to the boards letter seeking $5M in funding for ASP from the Auction Proceeds. Kindly find my draft below: From: The ICANN GNSO Council To: The ICANN Board Dear Tripti, We write in response to your letter asking for input on new gTLD Applicant Support Program<https://newgtldprogram.icann.org/en/application-rounds/round2/asp> (ASP) use of $5M in Auction proceeds. It is our understanding that the ICANN Board and Org. seek a workaround to provide adequate funding to kick off the Applicant Support Program prior to the commencement of the next round of New gTLD application round. The GNSO Council support this intervention as we believe it is not in variance with advise previously provided the board through the Applicant Support Program GGP process, and we also believe this would enhance the success of the ASP such that a repeat of the challenges identified with the previous round would be avoided. It is our understanding also that by this action, meaningful support would be provided for up to 45 new gTLD applicants or an anticipated full support for at least half that number of applicants. The GNSO Council will continue to evaluate progress made with the ASP and provide feedback deemed necessary. DiBiase, Gregory GNSO Council Chair Lawrence. Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef>

Re: AI 11.7 - Queries Regarding IDN EPDP
by DiBiase, Gregory 31 Aug '24

31 Aug '24

Dear Councilors, During the last Council meeting on 08 August, the EPDP-IDNs Leadership Team requested feedback and guidance from the Council by 19 August re: IDNs request to implement specific recommendations related to IDN table harmonization in advance of the Council vote, per Action Item 11.7 - Queries regarding IDN EPDP. Here is a link to Manju's request: https://lists.icann.org/hyperkitty/list/council@icann.org/thread/A5XCOJLEXN… With no feedback so far, the Leadership is taking this as a signal that the EPDP-IDNs Team has the approval from the Council to begin implementing the noted recommendations, even though the Council has not yet voted on the report. If agreed, Manju Chen, as the Council liaison to the Team, will communicate this to the EPDP-IDNs Team unless we hear an objection by Monday, 26 August 21:00 UTC. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Greg

FW: [soac-chairs] Formation of WSIS+20 Discussion Group (action item from SOAC Chairs Roundtable on 15 August)
by DiBiase, Gregory 28 Aug '24

Attachment protected by Amazon: [ATT00001.txt] https://us-west-2.secure-attach.amazon.com/a3d78d4d-f899-4c7c-be57-3d099630… Amazon has replaced attachment with download link. Downloads will be available until September 27, 2024, 17:50 (UTC+00:00). [Tell us what you think] https://amazonexteu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_ehuz6zGo8YnsRKK [For more information click here] https://docs.secure-attach.amazon.com/guide Dear Councilors, Please see the email below re: the formation of a WSIS+ discussion group. ICANN is looking for two volunteers from the GNSO. There is no prescribed way to assign these two seats, so Council Leadership is suggesting one volunteer from each House. The CPH has already received interest from the venerable Chris Disspain. We are still looking for NCPH candidate. Please reply to me directly with proposed candidates or questions or concerns. Thanks, Greg From: Mary Wong via soac-chairs <soac-chairs(a)icann.org> Sent: Thursday, August 22, 2024 2:06 PM To: SOAC-CHAIRS(a)ICANN.ORG Subject: [EXTERNAL] [soac-chairs] Formation of WSIS+20 Discussion Group (action item from SOAC Chairs Roundtable on 15 August) CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you can confirm the sender and know the content is safe. Dear SOAC Chairs, As an action item from the discussion under Any Other Business during the Roundtable on 15 August, ICANN org is pleased to convene the WSIS+20 Discussion Group. The idea for a discussion group emerged after an exchange of letters between the ccNSO and the ICANN organization (15 July<https://ccnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/field-attached/reynoso-to-coste…> and 25 July<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/costerton-to-reynoso-2…>).The discussion group will be informal (i.e., no charter) and lightweight (i.e., limited membership) to foster trusted collaboration and efficient coordination. Please refer to the information below for more details. My colleague Carlos Reyes will facilitate the discussion group with the subject matter expertise of our Government and IGO Engagement team. Please email carlos.reyes(a)icann.org<mailto:carlos.reyes@icann.org> with the name(s) and email addresses of the two participants from your Supporting Organization or Advisory Committee who will be joining the discussion group. If we may, we would like to ask for your responses by Friday 5 September at the latest. With thanks to Alejandra and the ccNSO, we hope this new endeavor benefits both the ICANN and technical communities in the evolving global Internet governance landscape. Cheers, Mary _____________________________ WSIS+20 Discussion Group Purpose The WSIS+20 Discussion Group will serve as a conduit for the ICANN organization and the ICANN community to discuss and coordinate approaches to explain, promote, and defend the multistakeholder model of Internet governance in the context of the WSIS+20 review process. The discussion group will provide a platform for information exchange and shared understanding between the ICANN organization and ICANN community on matters related to the WSIS+20 review process. This may include the development of consistent messaging for use with stakeholders of the WSIS+20 review process to bolster the credibility of the technical community and ensure its successful, continued engagement in the evolving global Internet governance landscape. Scope The discussion group is not a policy development or advisory group within the ICANN community or a chartered cross-community working group. The discussion group will not define the strategy of the ICANN Board or ICANN organization. The discussion group will not develop deliverables such as recommendations, though its members are encouraged to share suggestions, best practices, and other informational resources to their appointing ICANN community groups. The discussion group is separate from the WSIS+20 Outreach Network, which is a broader effort (as outlined in its goals<https://www.icann.org/en/government-engagement/wsis20-outreach-network>) beyond the ICANN community that the ICANN organization currently facilitates. Membership ICANN community participation in the discussion group is optional. Each Supporting Organization and Advisory Committee may designate up to two participants. Discussion group participants should be willing to participate and contribute their knowledge about the WSIS+20 review process. Discussion group participants will be members in their individual capacity and not representatives of their appointing ICANN community group. ICANN’s Role The ICANN organization will convene the discussion group and will invite participation from the ICANN community. In addition to facilitating the discussion group, the ICANN organization will have a distinct role in that it will share its thinking and analysis to inform the approaches that the ICANN community and the technical community may consider in the context of the WSIS+20 review process. Support In addition to its distinct role as a participant, the ICANN organization will provide subject matter experts and operational support to the discussion group. Operational support may include a mailing list, virtual meetings, and a workspace (e.g., GoogleDrive or Atlassian Confluence wiki), as determined by the participants. There are no budgetary resources or travel support for the discussion group, which will cease to exist at the conclusion of the WSIS+20 review process.
