I understand the whole point of moving the debate to the discussion part of the agenda is not to vote on it, since NCSG is not in a place to approve the proposed candidate to become chair.

I’ve no issue with this being moved to the main agenda, however I am concerned that we need to confirm the chair at this meeting. If we fail to do that then it’ll be another month before we can vote again.

Hi Ayden,
Thanks for your note and for the heads-up.
We will move the EPDP Chair appointment item and vote to the main agenda to allow for discussion.

Hi Keith,
Thank you for sharing this with us in advance of the agenda.
The NCSG would like to request that the confirmation of the EPDP Chair be removed from the consent agenda and instead form a part of the main agenda.
There is a discussion that the NCSG would like to have, briefly, about process and possibly about having a co-chair or vice-chair arrangement, before we cast our votes.
I need to touch base with NCSG members again to better understand the proposal (if any), but just thought I'd flag ahead of time, so there are no surprises, that these ideas could come.
Thanks again.
Kind regards,
Ayden Férdeline

Hi all,
As we approach today’s GNSO Council meeting, here are some highlights and observations to help us prepare:
Consent Agenda:
GNSO COUNCIL RESPONSE TO GAC COMMUNIQUE: We have a motion to adopt the GNSO Council response to the ICANN 64 GAC Communique. The placeholder motion language was introduced prior to the 10-day document deadline, but the substance of the response was still under discussion as of this morning. The small group of volunteers, coordinated by Julf, continues to work toward a stable version for Council consideration. We had hoped to have this finalized before the ICANN Board-GAC meeting on 15 April, but that didn’t happen. As such, recognizing that councilors may need time to review the final version and socialize it with their respective SG/Cs, we may need to move this item from the consent agenda to a separate item and hold an email vote following our 18 April meeting.
APPOINTMENT OF JANIS KARKLINS AS EPDP PHASE 2 CHAIR: We have a motion to approve the unanimous recommendation from the GNSO Council Leadership Team and SSC Leadership Team for the appointment of Janis Karklins to the role of EPDP Phase 2 Chair.
Main Agenda:
MOTION TO ADDRESS THE IGO-INGO CURATIVE RIGHTS PROTECTIONS FINAL REPORT: On 8 April, the GNSO Council Leadership Team presented our proposed motion to finally resolve the long-overdue action item related to voting on the IGO-INGO CRP Final Report. As we described in December 2018, we believe the current motion is the best path forward and a compromise among various differing views among councilors. To be clear, some councilors prefer that we reject all recommendations and start over. Other councilors believe we should approve everything and send it all to the Board. As a compromise, we believe that the best course of action is to approve Recommendations 1-4 and reject/refer Recommendation #5 to the RPM PDP WG for its Phase 2 work on UDRP. To accomplish this, the Council needs a simple majority vote. I understand that some are concerned about the potential impact on the RPM PDP WG and possible related delays, or that this approach is still in conflict with long-standing GAC advice to create a separate process for IGOs. Others are concerned about whether we can realistically find a sufficiently representative group of participants to start a new EPDP. Still others recognize that Recommendation #5 specifically relates to the UDRP, and therefore believe it should be a part of the RPM PDP work. Because Recommendations 1-4 in part say that no new DRP should be introduced, adjustments to the existing UDRP and/or URS appear to be the appropriate avenue for re-considering the topic. Therefore, my recommendation here is that we refer Rec 5 to the RPM PDP WG but re-charter the group’s work to allow or require a dedicated sub-team or work-track for the issue. Such a re-chartered sub-team could be structured using PDP 3.0 and/or EPDP-like rules. That way, it becomes the responsibility of an existing and broad-based PDP, but also allows for a targeted group to work the issue. While re-chartering, we can also require a firm timeline and issue a call for new volunteers with specific subject matter expertise, such as in relevant fields of international law, to ensure the group is well-informed. Council’s approval of a new EPDP, instead of referring to the RPM PDP, would require a supermajority and I frankly don’t know if that’s possible with the range of views among us. Finally, in response to a courtesy email I sent to Manal advising her of this motion, I received the attached letter expressing the GAC’s negative views of this proposed approach. They would prefer a new dedicated EPDP to revisit all of the work without approval of Recs 1-4.
MANAGING IDN VARIANTS: We will have 15 minutes allocated for an introductory discussion of IDN Variants to be led by Sarmad Hussein of ICANN Org. The primary focus of this brief session will be on the ICANN Board’s resolution related to GNSO and ccNSO work on IDN Variant TLDs. However, it will also serve as a primer for further Council discussion and consideration of the broader range of IDN Variant issues – at the top-level, at the second-level, and the distinction between existing and future TLDs. We have a developing situation where new rules related to IDNs (guidelines) are being developed and implemented and contracted parties are taking on new obligations outside of a typical PDP. The forward-looking gTLD policy development for IDN TLDs can appropriately be handled by the SubPro PDP, but that’s not the place for discussions of existing TLDs and/or the impact of requirements on second-level names. We also need to figure out how to ensure the GNSO and ccNSO efforts can work toward a consistent policy, as required by the Board. As I noted, this session is an introduction to the issue, and I believe the Council needs to take this up more holistically to ensure our policy development mandate is respected.
EPDP PHASE 1 IMPLEMENTATION STATUS UPDATE: We will have 15 minutes dedicated to an update on the EPDP Phase One informal Implementation Review Team (IRT). Dennis Change of ICANN Org will lead this session. Note that the “informal” nature of the IRT is expected to go away once the ICANN Board approves the EPDP Phase One Final Report in May. At that time, ICANN Org will formally begin the IRT work under Dennis’ leadership. Note that the there is an open request for a GNSO Council Liaison to the EPDP Phase One IRT. Any volunteers?
UPDATE ON THE RPM PDP WG TIMELINE: In Kobe, the GNSO Council Leadership Team, along with Paul McGrady in his role as Council Liaison to the RPM PDP, met with the RPM PDP Co-Chairs to discuss timelines and working methods to try to help bring some additional rigor and predictability to the WG’s deliverables. We asked the Co-Chairs to work together and with staff to develop a detailed work plan with milestones and measurable deliverables, and to identify how they anticipate making decisions to execute on that work plan. We had indicated a deadline of 18 April to coincide with our Council meeting, but last week the Co-Chairs requested an extension. We have granted an extension until 26 April, so during our 18 April meeting, Paul McGrady will provide an update to Council.
Thanks for your attention! Please let me know if you have any questions.
Regards,
Keith

Approval of the appointment of [NAME] as Chair for the Expedited Policy Development Process Team on the Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data. Approval of the suggested amendments to the GNSO’s Fellowship Selection criteria.
Item 4: COUNCIL VOTE – IGO-INGO Access to Curative Rights Protection Mechanisms (20 minutes)
The IGO-INGO Access to Curative Rights Protection Mechanisms PDP WG worked to resolve a final recommendation relating to IGO jurisdictional immunity and registrants’ rights to file court proceedings. The WG reached agreement on a single recommendation amongst several options for their final recommendation on this area, as well as for all other recommendations. The WG Chair proposed his determination of consensus levels for all recommendations, which the WG has affirmed. On 27 June 2018, the GNSO Council passed a <https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions#201806>resolution <https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions#201806>, thanking the PDP WG for its efforts and requesting that it submit its <https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/igo-ingo-crp-access-final-17jul18-en.pdf>Final Report <https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/igo-ingo-c...> in time for the 19 July 2018 Council meeting.
After having agreed on consensus levels for its final recommendations, the WG considered the text of its Final Report. On 9 July 2018, the PDP WG submitted its <https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/igo-ingo-crp-access-final-17jul18-en.pdf>Final Report <https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/igo-ingo-c...> to the GNSO Council for its consideration, which contains five consensus recommendations, along with three Working Group member minority statements, documenting their disagreement either with one or more of the final recommendations or other parts of the Final Report.
On its 19 July Council meeting, the Council resolved <https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions#201806> to accept the Final Report from the IGO-INGO Access to Curative Rights Mechanisms PDP Working Group, where it noted that it would consider the topic of curative rights protections for IGOs in the broader context of the appropriate overall scope of protection for all IGO identifiers.
On 9 October 2018, the Council held a question and answer webinar to review the recommendations and to ask itself a series of questions, 1) Does the Council believe that the PDP has addressed the issues that it was chartered to address (i.e. What questions/topics was the Working Group chartered to consider, did it consider those charter topics/questions, and did it do so in a legitimate way)?; 2) Has the PDP followed due process?; and 3) Did the PDP Working Group address GAC advice on the topic?
A motion to consider the Final Report was originally submitted on the 24 October 2018 Council meeting agenda but was withdrawn due to concerns around both the process followed by the PDP, as well as the substance of the PDP WG’s recommendations. Council leadership and staff have developed a summary document (Summary Paper <https://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/igo-ingo-crp-access-final-28nov18-en.pdf> and Slide Deck <https://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/igo-ingo-crp-procedural-options-council-29n...>) that lists issues raised by Councilors, options available, and potential considerations. During the November meeting, the Council considered a set of available options and briefly discussed possible next steps.
On 20 December 2018, Council leadership circulated a proposal <https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2018-December/022153.html> for next steps. Council leadership has since sent a reply <https://gnso.icann.org/en/correspondence/gnso-council-to-ismail-14jan19-en.p...> to the GAC, in response to a letter received during ICANN63. On the 24 January 2018 Council meeting, the Council discussed the proposal prepared by Council leadership. On 14 February 2019, the Council further discussed next steps and agreed to consult with the Governmental Advisory Committee, both before and at ICANN64. The GNSO Council and GAC had productive discussions, where the Council discussed procedural options that it is considering. The GAC’s Kobe Communique <https://gac.icann.org/contentMigrated/icann64-kobe-communique> noted the GAC’s “fruitful exchanges with the GNSO Council regarding the possibility of restarting the PDP on curative protections, under conditions amenable to all interested parties, including IGOs and interested GAC members, with a view to achieving mutually acceptable results [with] a timeline with a targeted date associated with such a course of action.”
Based on the Council discussions and consultation with the GAC, the Council believes that it has thoroughly considered the available options.
Here, the Council will vote to approve the set of actions as detailed in the relevant motion <https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocouncilmeetings/Motions+18+April+201...>.
4.1 – Presentation of motion <https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocouncilmeetings/Motions+18+April+201...> (Council Leadership)
4.2 – Council discussion
4.3 – Council vote (voting threshold: simple majority for recommendations 1-4)
Taking this action is within the GNSO’s remit as outlined in ICANN’s Bylaws as the GNSO ‘shall be responsible for developing and recommending to the Board substantive policies relating to generic top-level domains and other responsibilities of the GNSO as set forth in these Bylaws’ (Art.11.1). Furthermore, this action complies with the requirements set out in Annex A: GNSO Policy Development Process of the ICANN Bylaws.
Item 5: COUNCIL DISCUSSION – Managing IDN Variants TLDs (15 minutes)
The ICANN Board resolved in 2010 that IDN variant TLDs will not be delegated until relevant work is completed and directed ICANN org to develop a report identifying what needs to be done with the evaluation, possible delegation, allocation and operation of generic top-level domains (gTLDs) containing variant characters IDNs, in order to facilitate the development of workable approaches to the deployment of gTLDs containing variant characters IDNs. Based on analysis, ICANN org and the community identified two gaps to address: 1) that there is no definition of IDN variant TLDs, and; 2) that there is no IDN variant TLD management mechanism.
The Procedure to Develop and Maintain the Label Generation Rules for the Root Zone in Respect of IDNA Labels <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/lgr-procedure-20mar13-en.pdf> (RZ-LGR Procedure) has been developed by the community to define the IDN variant TLDs and, following the Board resolution <https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2013-04-11-en#2.a> in 2013 which approved the RZ-LGR Procedure, has been implemented to incrementally develop the Root Zone Label Generation Rules to address the first gap.
ICANN org has developed the Recommendations for Managing IDN Variant TLDs <https://www.icann.org/public-comments/managing-idn-variant-tlds-2018-07-25-e...> (the Variant TLD Recommendations), a collection of six documents finalized after incorporating the public comment feedback and published them as mechanisms for addressing the second gap identified by the community in the implementation of IDN variant TLDs.
On 14 March 2019, the ICANN Board resolved <https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/prelim-report-2019-03-14-en#2...>:
The Board approves the Variant TLD Recommendations and requests that the ccNSO and GNSO take into account the Variant TLD Recommendations while developing their respective policies to define and manage the IDN variant TLDs for the current TLDs as well as for future TLD applications.
The Board requests that the ccNSO and GNSO keep each other informed of the progress in developing the relevant details of their policies and procedures to ensure a consistent solution, based on the Variant TLD Recommendations, is developed for IDN variant ccTLDs and IDN variant gTLDs. Here, the Council will receive an update and consult with Sarmad Hussain, managing director of ICANN’s IDN Program, to better understand its responsibilities as dispensed by the ICANN Board.

5.2 – Update and council discussion (Sarmad Hussain, ICANN staff)
5.3 – Next steps
Item 6: COUNCIL UPDATE – Status of the EPDP on the Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data Phase 1 Informal Implementation Review Team (15 minutes)
On 11 May 2018, ICANN released the <https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/approved-with-specs-2013-09-17-en#consensus-temporary>Temporary Specification <https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/approved-with-specs-2013-09-17-en#cons...> on gTLD Registration Data, which served as the main agenda topic for the subsequent Board Workshop in Vancouver. This proposed Temporary Specification provides an interim solution until the community completes a policy development process on the temporary specification which is expected to complete within a one year period.
On 17 May 2017, the ICANN Board <https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2018-05-17-en>approved <https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2018-05-17-en> the proposed <https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/gtld-registration-data-specs-en>Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data <https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/gtld-registration-data-specs-en>, which establishes temporary requirements for how ICANN and its Contracted Parties will comply with both ICANN contractual requirements and the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
The EPDP Team held its first meeting on 1 August 2018 and on 21 November 2018, the EPDP published its Initial Report for public comment <https://www.icann.org/public-comments/epdp-gtld-registration-data-specs-init...>. After taking into account public comment received, the EPDP Team worked to deliver its Final Report <https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/epdp-gtld-...> to the GNSO Council for its consideration on 20 February 2019. Due to the unique circumstances concerning the deadline for implementation, and in order to minimize the transition period, the EPDP Leadership and Team informally recommended that discussion around implementation deliverables be initiated immediately. This preliminary work will inform the deliberations of the formal Implementation Recommendation Team upon Board approval of the Policy Recommendations.
The EPDP team Final Report <https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/epdp-gtld-...> was adopted by the GNSO Council on 2 March 2019 and resolved to recommend that implementation efforts begin in an informal fashion.
Here, the Council will receive a status update on the progress of the informal implementation efforts.
6.1 – Update (Dennis Chang, ICANN staff)
6.2 – Council discussion
6.3 – Next steps
Item 7: COUNCIL DISCUSSION - Updated Timeline for the PDP on the Review of All Rights Protection Mechanisms in All gTLDS (15 minutes)
At the GNSO Council’s working session at ICANN64, on 10 March 2019, the Council welcomed updates from the chairs of the various GNSO PDPs underway, including the Review of All Rights Protection Mechanisms in All gTLDS (RPMs).
The Council, amongst other questions, asked the Co-chairs about the likelihood of the RPMs PDP completing its work by February of 2020. The responses from the three co-chairs expressed varying levels of confidence in meeting that deadline and it was agreed that an updated timeline for the RPMs PDP would help the Council better carry out its role as manager of the PDP.
Here, the Council will review and discuss the updated timeline.
7.1 – Introduction of topic (Paul McGrady, GNSO Council Liaison to the PDP)
7.2 – Council discussion
7.3 – Next steps
Item 8: ANY OTHER BUSINESS (10 minutes)
8.1 - Review of status assignment of the GNSO Project list.
8.2 - Reminder for funded travelers to book their travel for ICANN65
