Dear Council Colleagues, Thank you Paul for bringing this to us. In view of the limited time we have to hold an email vote prior to Hamburg, and in the absence of immediate push back from Council, I would like to invite Staff to prepare us for a vote. Councillors, please watch this space for instructions. In principle you will have 7 days to review the motion once submitted and 4 days to vote via email. Leadership has a planned meeting later today, I believe we should be able to move forward with this quickly.

Please do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Forward suspicious emails to isitbad@. Dear Fellow Councilors, I am happy to report that the small team has completed its work on the Clarifying Statement for Topic 9: Registry Voluntary Commitments / Public Interest Commitments – Recommendations 9.1, 9.4, 9.8, 9.9, 9.10, 9.12, 9.13, 9.15 (see attached). For your information, the small team engaged with the Board liaisons on the proposed clarifying language to confirm that from their perspective the proposed clarifying statement addresses the previous concerns expressed by the Board. As a result, we believe this is now in a good place to be considered by the GNSO Council for adoption (although there may be some who were not able to attend Monday’s call who may need to chime in on this, but we are asking them to do so, if needed, on the list so that we can keep this moving). As we already discussed this topic during the last Council meeting, and the Board liaisons have indicated that getting the clarifying statement to the ICANN Board prior to the ICANN78 meeting in Hamburg to allow for Board action on these topic 9 recommendations, I would like to request Council leadership to consider initiating an email vote as soon as practicable. If there are any questions or concerns, I am happy to address these. Best, Paul [cid:image001.jpg@01D9F62F.199BD880] Paul McGrady Partner Elster & McGrady 3847 N.
