REMINDER | Due 29 September 2025 | GNSO Chair 2025 Election Timeline
by Terri Agnew Aug. 12, 2025

Aug. 12, 2025

Dear GNSO Council, Please see below the GNSO Chair election timeline for the 2025 GNSO Chair election. We are sharing ahead of the announcement deadline in order to allow for more flexible election scheduling. This will be posted shortly on the GNSO Elections webpage<https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/elections>. Deadlines Not Later Than: Activity Commences: 25 February 2025 Mid-Year ICANN Meeting and/or dependency on new travel deadlines Announce Proposed Procedure and Timeline 27 June 2025 (ICANN84 funded traveler name submission deadline) T – 60 Days and/or dependency on new travel deadlines NomCom Selectees Announced SG/C New Council Members Announced House Nominee Selection 29 September 2025 T – 30 Days Houses Submit Nominees 11 October 2025 T – 18 Days Candidates Submit Statements 26 October 2025 T – 3 Days Candidate Meetings 29 October 2025 T Election Held at Annual General Meeting 31 October 2025 T + 2 Days Council informs the Board & Community and posts election results on the GNSO website Traditionally the timeline is built in keeping with GNSO Operating Procedures guidelines, but with the funded traveler submission deadline now being 120 days prior to the meeting (instead of 90 days), we have had to adapt the first two steps of the timeline. This now fits in with the 27 June 2025 as submission deadline for funded traveler names for ICANN84. The remaining steps however are in keeping with the GNSO Operating Procedures, counting back from the election date. Please let me know if you have any questions. Kind regards, Terri Policy Team Supporting the GNSO

Under the ICANN Bylaws, the ICANN Board must convene an IFR no less frequently than every five years, measured from the date the previous IFR was convened. The board convened<https://www.icann.org/en/board-activities-and-meetings/materials/approved-r…> the first IFR on 16 September 2018. The second IFR team (IFR2) conducted the review in accordance with the scope specified in the ICANN Bylaws<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#article18>. The review focuses on PTI’s performance of the IANA naming function against the contractual requirements in the IANA Naming Function Contract and the IANA Naming Function Statement of Work<https://www.icann.org/iana_pti_docs/151-iana-naming-function-contract-v-30s…>. The naming functions under review include management of the DNS root zone, a critical function for the ongoing operation of the Internet. The IFR2 recently sought public comments<https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/second-iana-naming-funct…> on its Draft Report, which contained findings and recommendations in three key areas: * Presence of specific Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC) policy details in the IANA Naming Function Contract * Transparency and availability of Contract amendments * Frequency of reviews After considering public comment received and making adjustments as appropriate, the IFR2 team is working to reach consensus on its Final Report. The Draft Report included two recommendations that will amend the IANA Naming Function Contract, including a recommendation on the presence of specific Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC) policy details in the IANA Naming Function Contract and identifying and pointing to the appropriate policy authority for DNSSEC 98 in the IANA Naming Function Contract. Neither recommendation received objections during the public comment period. However, Section 18.6 (b) of the Bylaws reads that any recommendations by the IFR that would amend the IANA Naming Function Contract shall only become effective if: (i) The IFR Recommendation has been approved by the vote of (A) a supermajority of the ccNSO Council (pursuant to the ccNSO's procedures or, if such procedures do not define a supermajority, two-thirds (2/3) of the ccNSO Council's members) and (B) a GNSO Supermajority;” Here, the Council will vote on the two IFRT recommendations that will amend the IANA Naming Function Contract. 4.1 - Introduction of Topic (Tomslin Samme-NIar, Interim GNSO Co-Chair) 4.2 - Council Vote (Voting Threshold: Supermajority) 4.3 - Next Steps Item 5: COUNCIL VOTE - Approval of Recommendations from GNSO Council Small Team on Accuracy (15 minutes) During the Council’s March 2025 meeting<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/gnsocouncilmeetings/pages…>, the Council agreed to form a dedicated small team on accuracy, which would be tasked with: * Reviewing the written input received on the Council’s threshold questions; and * Providing a detailed summary of the input received, taking into consideration the potential other sources that can inform the discussion - i.e. (but not limited to) INFERMAL study, EU NIS2 cooperation group, recommendation CC.1, and provide a recommendation to the Council on how to best make progress on the topic of registration data accuracy, e.g., relaunch scoping team with updated assignment, request Issues Report, request additional study (including the recommended form and aim of the study), etc. The Small Team, led by Paul McGrady, began meeting on 15 May 2025 and agreed to four recommendations for the Council’s consideration related to: * Examining the current timeline for validation and verification of registration data under the 2024 RAA * Creation of educational materials related to the importance of accurate registration data * Further consideration of a previously-approved Whois2 Review Team recommendation (CC.1) related to the inclusion of a notation in the RDDS record that the domain name is suspended due to incorrect data * Discontinuing the Accuracy Scoping Team at this time in light of the above recommendations, while noting these recommendations represent a starting point and do not foreclose further work in the future. Here, the Council will vote on the Accuracy Small Team’s Summary Report. 5.1 - Introduction of Topic (Paul McGrady, Small Team Lead) 5.2 - Council Vote (voting threshold: simple majority) 5.3 - Next Steps Item 6: COUNCIL VOTE - Request Issue Report on DNS Abuse (15 minutes) The Council’s small team on DNS abuse began meeting on 15 May 2025, working on its Assignment Form<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2025/draft/assignment-for…>. The assignment form includes the review and analysis of DNS Abuse mitigation efforts across the broader ICANN ecosystem, the impact of the RA and RAA amendments, the INFERMAL study, as well as other data sources. The goal of the small team was to determine, after reviewing available data sources, whether or not gaps remain in mitigating DNS abuse. The small team quickly came to the conclusion that there are indeed gaps remaining and have worked diligently to catalogue the issues. In developing that catalogue of issues, the small team also solicited input from SG/C/SO/ACs. The small team is putting forward recommendations to the GNSO Council <https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2025/draft/dns-abuse-smal…> that an Issue Report be requested during its August meeting, based upon the catalogue of issues the small team has developed. The recommendations suggest a specific subset of topics to be focused on in the draft charter and the PDP that is anticipated to follow. Here, the Council will vote to request an Issues Report on DNS Abuse. 6.1 - Presentation of Motion (Jennifer Chung, Small Team Lead) 6.2 - Council Vote (voting threshold: simple majority) 6.3 - Next Steps Item 7: COUNCIL VOTE - Approval of the Review of Reviews Cross Community Group Charter (15 minutes) On 27 May 2025<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/sinha-to-holen-et-al-2…>, the Board wrote to SO/AC Leaders with an update on the ICANN Reviews. Specifically, following input from the community, the Board informed SO/AC leaders that it took the following actions related to reviews during its 19 May meeting: 1. Continue the deferral of Organizational Reviews until the completion of one CIP cycle (estimated at 3 years). 2. Conclude the Pilot Holistic Review and following the completion of the CIP cycle, consider whether to rename and re-charter an effort focused solely on designing a review of the CIP. 3. Continue the community dialogue to support a broader discussion on reviews. This will include an engagement session at ICANN84 focused on the purpose and essential subject areas for reviews. 4. Continue the deferral of the fourth Accountability and Transparency Review (ATRT4) to support the community’s capacity to participate in the dialogues, and any related activities that may result from such discussions. Please see the relevant Board Resolution<https://www.icann.org/en/board-activities-and-meetings/materials/approved-r…> for further information. During ICANN83, the SO/AC Chairs met with ICANN org to discuss a potential path forward. During the Council’s Wrap-Up<https://icann83.sched.com/event/246XW/gnso-council-wrap-up> session, GNSO Chair Greg DiBiase shared a high-level overview of that approach, asking that Councilors begin socializing the approach with their respective groups. Additional options were subsequently circulated to the GNSO Council. Shortly thereafter, the SOAC Chairs, in collaboration with select ICANN Board members, agreed to start development on a charter for a Review of Reviews Cross Community Group (RoR CCG). It was determined that the RoR CCG Charter, as well as initiating the work, should proceed expeditiously and separately from efforts to address ICANN’s non-compliance with its Bylaws, in respect of timing issues for Reviews. The SOAC Chairs and select Board members worked tirelessly to come to agreement on a stable draft of the RoR CCG Charter<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/reynoso-to-sinha-30jul…>, which was shared with the Council on [date]. In preparation for the GNSO to support the CCG, the Council tasked its Standing Selection Committee (SSC) to identify the two (2) GNSO members of the group. The Council recognizes the importance of allowing the RoR CCG to proceed with its work, but not losing sight of the non-compliance issue. Here, the Council will vote to approve the RoR CCG Charter. 7.1 - Presentation of motion<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/x/RKifBg> (Susan Payne, IPC Councilor) 7.2 - Council Discussion 7.3 - Council Vote (voting threshold: simple majority)] Item 8: COUNCIL UPDATE - Privacy Proxy Services Accreditation Issues Implementation Work - Questions for GNSO Council (15 minutes) On 9 August 2016, the ICANN Board approved the Final Report<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/filefield_48305/ppsai-final-07de…> of the Privacy Proxy Services Accreditation Issues (PPSAI) Working Group, which contains 21 policy recommendations. ICANN org convened an Implementation Review Team (IRT) in 2016 and worked on the implementation of the policy recommendations until 2019 when the implementation work was paused due to overlapping issues around the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), data processing, and the Temporary Specification<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/gtld-registration-data-specs-en/#temp…>. In June 2024, ICANN org reconvened the PPSAI IRT and has been refining a set of overarching threshold questions that require input from the GNSO Council in order for ICANN org to, in consultation with the IRT, move forward on implementation of the 21 policy recommendations from the Final Report<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/filefield_48305/ppsai-final-07de…>. ICANN org recently sent the threshold questions<https://lists.icann.org/hyperkitty/list/council@icann.org/thread/7WQUZAK2VH…> to the GNSO Council for further guidance. The threshold questions currently under discussion are: 1. Are there any policy questions or items the IRT already wants to bring to the GNSO Council for guidance? 2. Implementation Model: Accreditation Program or Alternative Implementation: * Can an implementation model without a new standalone accreditation program remain consistent with the policy recommendations? 3. Disclosure Frameworks (Intellectual Property and Law Enforcement) * Are there specific areas to revisit under new law/policy? * Can these frameworks be aligned with existing work on the Registration Data Request Service (RDRS), Registration Data Policy, and other existing procedures and remain consistent with the policy recommendations? Here, the Council will discuss how to best address the questions from the PPSAI IRT and determine next steps. 8.1 - Introduction of Topic (Paul McGrady, GNSO Council Liaison to the PPSAI IRT) 8.2 - Council Discussion 8.3 - Next Steps Item 9: COUNCIL UPDATE: Outcome of Transfer Policy Review PDP Human Rights Impact Assessment (15 minutes) During its 12 March 2025 [icann.zoom.us]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/icann.zoom.us/rec/play/c9JJyD0XyDGkIJUQW…> meeting, the GNSO Council voted to approve all 47 recommendations of the Transfer Policy Review Working Group’s Final Report. While the Working Group’s Charter [gnso.icann.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/polic…> did not include a Human Rights Impact Assessment (HRIA), the Council agreed to conduct an HRIA following the vote on the Final Report. Farzaneh Badii, the GNSO Councilor who volunteered to lead the HRIA effort, met with Roger Carney, the chair of the Transfer Policy Review PDP, on 16 April 2025. Farzaneh presented the outcome of the HRIA discussion to the Council during its meeting on 15 May 2025 [icann.zoom.us]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/icann.zoom.us/rec/play/Vew12tHCU11uhBpXC…>. Here, the Council will discuss the outstanding items from the HRIA and determine if further action is needed or if additional items need to be added to the continued discussion of the Council’s prioritization of work. 9.1 - Introduction of Topic (Farzaneh Badii, GNSO Councilor) 9.2 - Council Discussion 9.3 - Next Steps Item 10: Any Other Business (25 minutes) 10.1 - ICANN84 planning and GNSO Draft schedule (Terri Agnew) 10.2 - WSIS update (Desiree Miloshevic or Jennifer Chung) 10.3 - GNSO Liaison to the GAC update (Sebastien Ducos) 10.4 - Question re: GNSO Liaison to the GAC _______________________________ 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> https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#article11 .
