Update to the text on Observers : Friendly Amendment: Motion - DNS Abuse PDP1 Charter
by jen＠dot.asia Jan. 13, 2026

Jan. 13, 2026

Dear All, Council leadership would like to make an update regarding Observers in the DNS Abuse Mitigation PDP1 Charter. We note that this specific point did not receive active discussion in the course of the work of the Charter Drafting Small Team, however given the interest and attention the topic has received from the ICANN community, principles of openness and transparency, as well as all Council discussion on the topic so far, this is a more preferable mode of participation for Observers in the DNS Abuse Mitigation PDP 1: Associated Domain Checks. Specifically, the update will be as follows (Charter, p7 https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2025/draft/charter-dns-abu se-mitigation-pdp1-23dec25-en.pdf): Observers: Anyone interested in this PDP may join as an observer. Observers are provided with read-only access to the mailing list and are not invited to attend meetings. - observers are subscribed to the mailing list on a read-only basis but are NOT able to post. Similarly, observers are NOT allowed to actively participate in PDP Team meetings, however, they will be allowed to follow the live zoom webinars. Recordings / transcripts of meetings will be posted publicly. Please note that this text has been drawn from the charters of two previous PDP/EPDPs and we believe it is a better approach for this upcoming PDP (and mirror in large part how Observers observe Council work). Unless there are objections from councilors, leadership would like to have this language updated in the charter. Many thanks to all!

GNSO Liaison to the Latin Script Diacritics PDP Needed
by John Emery Jan. 7, 2026

Jan. 7, 2026

Dear Councilors, As you will have seen on the Council list, Prudence has officially stepped down from the GNSO Council; and by default, in her role as the Latin Diacritics PDP liaison. We would like to request a Councilor to volunteer to serve as the Latin Diacritics PDP liaison for the remainder of the PDP. For your reference the role description for PDP liaisons can be found here:https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/gnso…. We would especially like to highlight this opportunity for new Councilors as the PDP is moving along ahead of schedule thanks to strong PDP leadership with its Initial Report due out for Public Comment in the coming weeks. This would be a great opportunity to understand the PDP process and ease into the role as PDP liaison, no knowledge or experience in the topic of Latin diacritics, linguistics, or internationalized domain names (IDNs) is required. For more information on the Latin Script Diacritics PDP, please reference the wiki page here: https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/x/EwDVBg. Please indicate your interest in serving as GNSO Council liaison to the Latin Script Diacritics PDP WG via the Council mailing list. Thank you, John R. Emery, Ph.D. Policy Development Support Senior Specialist Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) www.icann.org<http://www.icann.org>
