Hello All, With respect to item 2 of the agenda, we will be operating with respect to section 10, of Annex A, of the ICANN bylaws - with respect to the Policy Development Process. http://www.icann.org/general/bylaws.htm#AnnexA Section 10 states: " 10. Council Deliberation a. Upon receipt of a Final Report, whether as the result of a task force or otherwise, the Council chair will(i) distribute the Final Report to all Council members; and (ii) call for a Council meeting within ten (10) calendar days thereafter. The Council may commence its deliberation on the issue prior to the formal meeting, including via in-person meetings, conference calls, e-mail discussions or any other means the Council may choose. The deliberation process shall culminate in a formal Council meeting either in person or via teleconference, wherein the Council will work towards achieving a Supermajority Vote to present to the Board." I intend to determine if we can reach a Supermajority vote based on the recommendation: "1. Registrars must ensure that disclosures regarding availability and third-party access to personal data associated with domain names actually be presented to registrants during the registration process. Linking to an external web page is not sufficient. 2. Registrars must ensure that these disclosures are set aside from other provisions of the registration agreement if they are presented to registrants together with that agreement. Alternatively, registrars may present data access disclosures separate from the registration agreement. The wording of the notice provided by registrars should, to the extent feasible, be uniform. 3. Registrars must obtain a separate acknowledgement from registrants that they have read and understand these disclosures. This provision does not affect registrars' existing obligations to obtain registrant consent to the use of their contact information in the WHOIS system. " If the Council can reach a SuperMajority vote on a recommendation, the Council may decide to create an implementation committee to flesh out some of the implementation details before providing the final Board report to the Board,, and ultimately to assist the staff in creating the formal consensus policy. If the Council cannot reach a SuperMajority position, then the Council members that vote against the recommendations need to provide written reasons within 5 days for voting against the recommendation for inclusion in the Board report.
