We called attention to Strategic Goal 1.2: Enhance the Agility and Effectiveness of Policy and Advice Development which directly relates to GNSO Council work. Council Leadership is concerned that this this goal's designation of "Strategic Intensity, Heightened Attention" will result in that goal becoming a large-scale project, which may draw attention away from the work that the Council has already agreed to undertake, much of which will initiate prior to the next 5-year plan even coming into effect. Council Leadership drafted a short comment recommending that the designation of Moderate Attention might be more appropriate for this goal. Please review. We will discuss in our September meeting. Thanks, Greg

Next Steps on Data Accuracy

[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, During our August meeting we discussed next steps on accuracy. While Councilors generally agreed that restarting the scoping team seemed premature given the limitations on collecting data, we did not agree on next steps. We discussed the possibility of forming a Council small team to solicit feedback from the Community and try reach a common understanding of the underlying issues. However, others suggested that this work should not be undertaken until we have more clarity around the implementation of accuracy requirements in the Network and Information Security (NIS 2) Directive being implemented in the EU. Taking all this under consideration, Council Leadership proposes the following path forward (this approach is outlined in the attached document): First, seek input from ICANN's legal team on the state of current and near future legislation that may affect requirements related to the accuracy of registrant information. Second, when this is complete, pose a set of threshold framing questions to each Stakeholder Group/Constituency (SG/C) that will guide our conversation (including the analysis on whether to form a small team). These questions will be informed by the feedback from ICANN on potential regulation that may impact our work. Please review the attached document and discuss with your respective SGs. The specific questions contained in this document are merely a starting point and so please proceed under the assumption they can be modified. We will discuss in our September meeting. Thanks, Greg

The Council convened a small team that worked collaboratively with the ICANN Board to resolve all pending recommendations. While the majority of the pending recommendations were able to be adopted by the ICANN Board, recommendations across six Topics were non adopted by the ICANN Board. The Council tasked the Small Team Plus with developing Supplemental Recommendations on five of the six Topics, i.e., Registry Voluntary Commitments / Public Interest Commitments, Applicant Support, Terms and Conditions, String Similarity Evaluations, and Limited Challenge/Appeal Mechanisms. Based on the expected implementation as it relates to the Continued Operations Instrument (COI), the Small Team Plus determined it was unnecessary to develop a Supplemental Recommendation for Topic 22: Registrant Protections. The Small Team Plus developed Supplemental Recommendations for all five topics and shared them with the Council. Because of information received just prior to Council consideration in April 2024, the Council elected to defer consideration of the Supplemental Recommendation related to String Similarity Evaluations, or more specifically, singular/plurals. The new information received was a strawperson developed by ICANN org, which provided a potential path forward for singular/plurals. The Council determined that the strawperson was promising enough to task the Small Team Plus with considering whether the strawperson, or an amended version, could be agreed upon. The Small Team Plus worked to develop a Supplemental Recommendation, seeking to agree on a limited exception procedure for strings found to be singulars and plurals of each other in the same language. The Small Team Plus was ultimately unable to reach agreement on the exception procedure and ultimately reached consensus on proceeding without any exception procedure. Here, the Council will vote on the Supplemental Recommendation on Singulars/Plurals<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2024/draft/final-suppleme…>. 4.1 - Introduction of Topic (Paul McGrady, Small Team Plus Chair) 4.2 - Council Vote (Voting threshold: GNSO Supermajority in order to trigger the threshold that “the Board shall adopt the recommendation unless more than two-thirds (2/3) of the Board determines that such policy is not in the interests of the ICANN community or ICANN.”) 4.3 - Next Steps Item 5: COUNCIL VOTE - Registration Data Accuracy (20 minutes) The Registration Data Accuracy (RDA) Scoping Team was initiated by the GNSO Council in July 2021 per the formation instructions<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/registrat…>. The Scoping Team completed Assignment #1 (enforcement and reporting) and Assignment #2 (measurement of accuracy) and submitted its write up<https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2022-September/025950.html> to the Council on 5 September 2022. In its write up, the Scoping Team suggested moving forward with two proposals that would not require access to registration data, namely a registrar survey (recommendation #1) and a possible registrar audit (recommendation #2) that may help further inform the team’s work on measuring the effectiveness of current accuracy requirements and determining if further policy work may be needed. On 19 October 2023, ICANN org provided an update<https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2023-October/027397.html> on Registration Data Accuracy efforts, in which it noted limitations and concerns with proceeding with the Scoping Team’s recommendation #1 (voluntary registrar survey) and registrar audit (recommendation #2). The Council voted to extend the deferral<https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocouncilmeetings/Final+Proposed+Agen…> of the Accuracy Scoping Team’s recommendations by another six months during its meeting on 15 February 2024. Following discussion during the meetings in June<https://icann.zoom.us/rec/play/jj5JJKwEjF9JSAjTQumuFXIO7zvqqE9ga9OqnfZc3EY7…> and July<https://icann.zoom.us/rec/play/piE7uFGLlsMuiPbHK34AtNYHeOKrrtDmOIghAH7gHu3B…>, the Council discussed the limitations noted by ICANN org and determined there would be limited value in proceeding with the Scoping Team’s two recommendations (#1 and #2). The Council also discussed the limited value in restarting the Scoping Team at this time due to limitations in access to data for the purpose of assessing accuracy. Given the importance of this issue within the ICANN community, however, the Council will continue to discuss how to best proceed on this topic and will vote to defer the consideration of the Scoping Team’s two recommendations for an additional six months. Here, the Council will vote to defer the Scoping Team’s recommendations #1 (voluntary registrar survey) and #2 (registrar audit). 5.1 - Introduction of Topic (Greg DiBiase, GNSO Chair) 5.2 - Council Vote (Voting threshold: Simple Majority) 5.3 - Next Steps Item 6: COUNCIL DISCUSSION - Accuracy of Registration Data (20 minutes) Following the ICANN80 GNSO Council Wrap-Up<https://icann80.sched.com/event/1dr4t/gnso-council-wrap-up> session, the GNSO Council Chair asked Councilors to consider the following questions: 1. Evaluation of Proposed Alternatives: In its write-up<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2023/correspondence/yokoy…>, ICANN noted limitations in processing data for the purpose of assessing accuracy and proposed two alternatives (analyzing historical audit data and engagement with Contracted Parties on ccTLD practices – see detail below). Is pursuing these alternatives worthwhile? If not, are there other alternatives for obtaining data Council should consider? 2. Consideration of Scoping Team Restart: Given the limitations with respect to access to data, would there be value in restarting the Scoping Team at this time? 3. Advancing the Topic: If restarting the Scoping Team at this time is not deemed advisable, what other ideas do you have to advance this topic given its importance to the ICANN community? During the Council’s July meeting, the Council agreed that restarting the Scoping Team at this time is not recommended. However, during the August meeting, some Councilors suggested potentially convening a small team to discuss how to make progress on this topic. Council Leadership has worked on a proposal of how to solicit additional feedback from GNSO groups with directed questions, in order to receive information from which an eventual small team (if that is the Council’s chosen vehicle) can decide how to handle the important topic of accuracy. Here, the Council will discuss Council’s Leadership’s proposal. 6.1 - Introduction of Topic (Greg DiBiase, GNSO Chair) 6.2 - Council Discussion 6.3 - Next Steps Item 7: COUNCIL DISCUSSION - Policy Status Report: GNSO Policy & Implementation Working Group Recommendations (20 minutes) In July 2013, the GNSO Council formed a Working Group, which was tasked<https://community.icann.org/x/5FV-Ag> to provide the GNSO Council with a set of recommendations on a number of questions that specifically related to policy and implementation in a GNSO context. In June 2015, the GNSO Council adopted the Policy and Implementation Working Group Final Report<https://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/policy-implementation-recommendations-01ju…>, followed by Board approval of the parts pertaining to the ICANN Bylaws in September 2015. These recommendations resulted in the establishment of a set of new mechanisms, including the Expedited Policy Development Process (EPDP), Consensus Policy Implementation Framework (CPIF), and others. As part of the GNSO Council resolution<https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions/1999-2019#201506>, it was recommended that “a review of these recommendations is carried out at the latest five years following their implementation to assess whether the recommendations have achieved what they set out to do and/or whether any further enhancements or changes are needed”. The PSR discusses the contents of the Policy and Implementation Recommendations and their performance against stated objectives by the GNSO Council and the ICANN community, based on readily available data, staff observations, and analysis to date. The report is intended to serve as input to the GNSO Council’s review of the policy and implementation related efforts, including, for example: * The GNSO Expedited Policy Development Process (EPDP) * The GNSO Guidance Process (GGP) * The GNSO Input Process (GIP) * The Implementation Review Team (IRT) Principles & Guidelines * The Consensus Policy Implementation Framework (CPIF) Here, the Council will receive an update from the ICANN org staff who assisted in drafting the PSR. 7.1 - Introduction of Topic (Peter Eakin, Policy Research Specialist) 7.2 - Council Discussion 7.3 - Next Steps Item 8: Any Other Business (30 minutes) 8.1 - GNSO Council SPS 8.2 - Update on ICANN81 planning and GNSO Draft schedule<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2024/draft/update-icann81…> 8.3 - Latin Diacritics Public Comment Preliminary Issue Report 8.4 - Reminder: Informal Joint Meeting with GNSO Appointed Board Members and GNSO Council<https://community.icann.org/x/XoHKFQ> (25 Sept at 21:00 UTC) 8.5 - Update from Privacy and Proxy Services Accreditation Implementation Review Team<https://community.icann.org/x/VA2sAw> Liaisons _______________________________ Appendix 1: GNSO Council Voting Thresholds (ICANN Bylaws, Article 11, Section 11.3(i)) See https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#article11.
