_______________________________________________Thanks Sebastien, dividing the Clarifying Statement would therefore seem to make sense. I think perhaps the “Whereas” section of the Motion should be slightly revised to reflect this. Whilst this might not be absolutely essential, it would provide greater clarity for the record. I would therefore like to propose a friendly amendment as follows (see mark-up):
Whereas,
- The GNSO Council adopted the Final Report of the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures (SubPro) PDP on 18 February 2021.
- On 16 March 2023, the ICANN Board adopted the majority of the SubPro Outputs, as identified in Section A of the Scorecard, while designating a select set of recommendations as pending, identified in Section B of the Scorecard.
- The GNSO Council established a small team to carefully review the pending SubPro recommendations and identify the best path forward to seek to resolve the issues that were preventing Board adoption of the pending recommendations.
- The GNSO Council’s small team benefited greatly from the open and frank dialogue with the co-leads of the Board’s Caucus on SubPro.
- On 22 May 2023, the GNSO Council and ICANN Board discussed the expectation that for certain pending recommendations, a Clarifying Statement from the Council may be sufficient to mitigate the concerns preventing adoption of some of the pending recommendations.
- At ICANN77, the GNSO Council and ICANN Board reached agreement on the specific set of pending recommendations that may be resolved via a Clarifying Statement from the Council.
- The GNSO Council’s small team developed a draft Clarifying Statement that was discussed with the Council during its July meeting and was subsequently shared with the ICANN Board for their consideration of whether the Clarifying Statement does indeed address the Board’s concerns.
- The GNSO Council’s small team took into account the feedback from the ICANN Board and finalized the Council’s Clarifying Statement [will need the new link] by removing the text in the Clarifying Statement relating to the enforceability of PICs and RVCs and holding this over, pending further feedback from the ICANN Board.
- The Clarifying Statement should be read as complementary to the relevant pending recommendation(s) and should be considered jointly with the recommendations for the purposes of implementation.
Resolved,
- The GNSO Council approves the Clarifying Statement regarding select pending SubPro recommendations and stresses that the statement should be read as complementary to the relevant pending recommendation(s) and should be considered jointly with the recommendations for the purposes of implementation.
- The GNSO Council requests that the GNSO Secretariat communicate resolved #1 to the ICANN Board and provide the Board with the Clarifying Statement.
- The GNSO Council extends its thanks to the ICANN Board for its collegial, constructive, and pragmatic approach to addressing select pending recommendations and in particular, extends thanks to the co-leads of the Board’s Caucus on SubPro, Avri Doria and Becky Burr.

Subject: [council] FW: [gnso-chairs] FW: [Ext] Update on Board review of clarifying statements.
Dear Council Colleagues,
Please find below the communication Paul and I received from Becky and Avril yesterday and attached the redline prepared by Steve.
As indicated by Becky, there are a number of points of then Clarifying Statements which the Board is asking us to hold on while they work on offering wording alternatives for us to review. As you know that Board was in recess until Monday, Becky sent apologies for the very late input.
Steve’s edits reflect the request by setting Topics 30 and 31 and most of the Topic 9 Recommendations aside.
For us to discuss later today.
Kindly,
Sebastien Ducos
