GAC is still busy drafting their Panama Communiqué, but it looks like it will contain advice to the board with regards to GDPR / Whois / Temporary Specification that will contain something like: 1. GAC advices the ICANN Board to take all steps necessary to ensure development    and implementation of a access model that addresses accreditation, authentication,    access and accountability,  and applies to all contracted parties as quickly as possible 2. GAC asks the ICANN Board to publish status report four weeks prior to ICANN63 In the rationale, they state "In order to protect the public interest, as well as the secure,  stable, and resilient operation of the DNS, the development and implementation of a  unified access model is of utmost importance. The GAC considers that direct involvement  and action is required by ICANN Org to facilitate and support this." They will also have advice on IGO identifiers, basically being unhappy that the board hasn't followed previous advice.     Julf
