FINAL REMINDER | Document and Motion deadline | Sunday, 19 October 2025 at 23:59 UTC for GNSO Council Meeting 29 October 2025 at 13:15 UTC /IST
Dear all, Reports, motions, and documents for consideration are due no later than (NLT) 10 days in advance (i.e. Sunday, 19 October 2025 at 23:59 UTC) for the GNSO Council Meeting on Wednesday, 29 October 2025 at 13:15 UTC/IST Motions should be sent to the Council mailing list by a councilor and will then be posted on the Motions Wiki at: https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/x/VKifBg Thank you. Kind regards, Terri Policy Team Supporting the GNSO
Hi Terri, Having heard no new proposed friendly amendments to the Motion already made regarding the instructions from Council to the Sub Pro IRT for the IGO/INGO Reserved Names implementation options, I confirm the Motion as previously forwarded and shown at this link: https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/gnsocouncilmeetings/pages/... This Motion was seconded by Lawrence. Due to timing associated with the planned adoption by the ICANN Board of the Applicant Guidebook for the 2026 round on October 30 in Dublin, it's advisable that the vote be scheduled in Part 1 of the GNSO Council meeting in Dublin. This vote should not be further deferred or delayed, but I would anticipate that some Councilors may have statements to be made in connection with their votes. *Thomas has observed that Council is unlikely to be unanimous on this vote and that's okay. Will staff please advise by reply how voting will proceed when there are three Options being presented? Will Councilors be able to respond with a "yes" vote for the relevant Option of their choosing?* Thank you, Anne Anne Aikman-Scalese GNSO Councilor NomCom Non-Voting 2022-2026 anneicanngnso@gmail.com On Thu, Oct 16, 2025 at 9:11 AM Terri Agnew via council <council@icann.org> wrote:

Thank you, Anne. In terms of voting, the GNSO Operating Procedures detail the options for GNSO Councilors to enter in response to a motion requiring a vote. Specifically, Section 4.3.2 provides, "Councilors may enter either a "No", "Yes", or "Abstain". The Operating Procedures do not contemplate a situation where Councilors can vote on an option within a motion. For that reason, we believe you, as the maker of the motion, may propose the version of the motion with the isolated option selected for the Council to vote on prior to the vote. Alternatively, you may submit separate motions with the isolated options; however, we note that Section 4.3.5 of the Operating Procedures provides that parallel efforts on similar / identical topics should be avoided. For that reason, we would recommend the first option: the maker of the motion proposing the option selected for the Council to vote on. Thank you.

Terri, To be crystal clear, please enter the three separate Motions on the calendar, all the same WHEREAS background language from the October 9 Motion for each of the three Motions with each of the RESOLVED options 1, 2, and 3 listed separately for the appropriate RESOLVED clause. I am the proposer for all three Motions and Lawrence is the seconder for all three. All of the language was previously provided to the Council list 10 days in advance of the October 9 Extraordinary Meeting.

Thanks Terri.

Kindly delete that phrase as agreed on October 9. I join others in thanking you for your conscientious weekend work on these Motions. You are the bomb!

This Motion was seconded by Lawrence. Due to timing associated with the planned adoption by the ICANN Board of the Applicant Guidebook for the 2026 round on October 30 in Dublin, it's advisable that the vote be scheduled in Part 1 of the GNSO Council meeting in Dublin. This vote should not be further deferred or delayed, but I would anticipate that some Councilors may have statements to be made in connection with their votes.
*Thomas has observed that Council is unlikely to be unanimous on this vote and that's okay. Will staff please advise by reply how voting will proceed when there are three Options being presented? Will Councilors be able to respond with a "yes" vote for the relevant Option of their choosing?*
Thank you,
Anne

Hello all, Thank you everyone to get this accomplished. Option 3 has been updated on the wiki to reflect below: https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/x/VKifBg All the best, Terri From: Anne ICANN <anneicanngnso@gmail.com> Date: Monday, October 20, 2025 at 9:58 AM To: Terri Agnew <terri.agnew@icann.org> Cc: "council@icann.org" <council@icann.org>, GNSO-Secs <gnso-secs@icann.org> Subject: Re: [council] FINAL REMINDER | Document and Motion deadline | Sunday, 19 October 2025 at 23:59 UTC for GNSO Council Meeting 29 October 2025 at 13:15 UTC /IST Thanks Terri. With respect to the Option 3 Motion, please note that a friendly amendment was accepted in our October 9 Extraordinary Meeting to delete "in the exercise of its fiduciary duty" from the language of the Option 3 RESOLVED clause. Kindly delete that phrase as agreed on October 9. I join others in thanking you for your conscientious weekend work on these Motions. You are the bomb!

If the language needs to be posted separately to the agenda, please do so. I understand there may be yet another Motion submitted separately today, yielding four separate Motions for discussion, subject to the informal closed meeting in Dublin. I assume that in that meeting, Council will be undertaking an appropriate analysis pursuant to Operating Procedures 4.3.5.

In terms of voting, the GNSO Operating Procedures detail the options for GNSO Councilors to enter in response to a motion requiring a vote. Specifically, Section 4.3.2 provides, "Councilors may enter either a "No", "Yes", or "Abstain". The Operating Procedures do not contemplate a situation where Councilors can vote on an option within a motion. For that reason, we believe you, as the maker of the motion, may propose the version of the motion with the isolated option selected for the Council to vote on prior to the vote. Alternatively, you may submit separate motions with the isolated options; however, we note that Section 4.3.5 of the Operating Procedures provides that parallel efforts on similar / identical topics should be avoided. For that reason, we would recommend the first option: the maker of the motion proposing the option selected for the Council to vote on. Thank you.
