As discussed during the last council meeting, one of our action items is for the Council to examine ways in which the GAC communiqués can be channeled through the ICANN Board to the GNSO Council where they can be analyzed for possible policy implications arising from the recommendations, and where the GNSO Council can report back to the ICANN Board with a proposed method of responding to the communiqué and initiating policy work if there be a need. In the discussion, a lightweight and informal process was proposed where a call for topics would be put out to the various GNSO constituencies and stakeholder groups and these would be sent in the form a letter by the Council, within 30 to 60 days upon receipt of a GAC communiqué, to the Board responding to that communiqué. As a framework for discussion, the following steps are suggested: 1) GAC publishes its communique 1b) optional: The ICANN board informs the GNSO council about the Communique and requests an analysis of the communique for issues that touch upon ongoing or new policy work 2) 1st post-meeting council session: The Council deliberates the GAC communique and instructs councillors take the communique to their stakeholder groups and constituencies for analysis of whether and if so how the communique touches upon, complements or contradicts existing policy, whether it impacts ongoing policy work or whether it suggests the initiation of new policy work. This review should exclude any opinion on such policy and be limited to the analysis whether policy would be affected and therefore should be obtainable within a turn-around time of 2 weeks. 3) 2nd post-meeting council session: The GNSO council deliberates input and drafts a letter to the ICANN board including a proposed response to the GAC Potential responses could be: - Council recommends initiation of new policy work based on GAC advice - Council recommends informing the GAC that [suggestion] has been deliberated during previous or ongoing policy work and has been [accepted/rejected/partially accepted] by the community - Council recommends revisiting prior PDP to analyse and deliberate the impact of suggested advice on existing policy. - Council advises Board that existing policy already covers [suggestion] and [suggestion] is a mere question of implementation of said policy I am shooting from the hip here to put up a straw man, so if anyone would like to add to these suggestions or suggest a different approach, the floor is yours. -- Bei weiteren Fragen stehen wir Ihnen gerne zur Verfügung.
