Hi all, I’m flagging that there are two items on the consent agenda for next Thursday’s Council meeting and yesterday was the motion deadline. Noting that we were a day late posting this, if any Councilor has an objection to including the consent agenda items, please let me know.

The EPDP Team published its Phase 2 Initial Report<https://secure-web.cisco.com/1MTfUDRb7PsuMjYgUdwaMx7fbE7F9nntdKsZtXV0JGh3muZ...> for public comment on 7 February 2020, focused on the SSAD.

Rafik Dammak submitted a framework document<https://secure-web.cisco.com/1sIcAiSBQl0MinlKJObnqMQ8vWxXQ1MuZYFe783tpptVBbI...> to both identify the list of topics and suggest possible next steps for the Council to consider. A small team was convened to further develop the proposed approach for priority 2 items and present to the full Council for its consideration at a future date. The small team has worked on its proposal<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/docs.google.com/document/d/1FMSpEJHWdnNhE...>, which was shared with the Council on 11 August 2020.. Here, the Council will discuss the small team proposal for priority 2 items. 5.1 – Introduction of topic (Rafik Dammak) 5.2 – Council discussion 5.3 – Next steps Item 6: COUNCIL DISCUSSION - Independent Review Process (IRP) Standing Panel (15 minutes) One of the features of the updated Independent Review Process (IRP) under the new Bylaws is the establishment of a standing panel from which panelists shall be selected to preside over each IRP dispute. ICANN, in consultation with the SO/ACs, must agree on a single proposed standing panel slate to submit to the ICANN Board for approval. ICANN Org sought and received feedback from the SO/ACs as to how they envision the panel being populated, and published a summary and next steps<https://secure-web.cisco.com/1bRMnpwgz3tq91sPcODqpVo2HKaan9NgKknemmq8iYCnPhJ...>. There was strong support expressed for the SOs and ACs to establish a small representative group to help in getting the standing panel established. While it was suggested as an alternative that the IRP Implementation Oversight Team (IRP-IOT) might be able to serve as that small representative group, community leadership determined this was not the best path forward. The SO/AC Chairs are still discussing the best approach to appoint members to the group. Here, Keith Drazek will provide an update on the latest discussions and seek input from the Council on the best approach to establishing the selection panel. 6.1 - Introduction of topic (GNSO Chair, Keith Drazek) 6.2 - Council discussion 6.3 - Next steps Item 7: ANY OTHER BUSINESS (15 minutes) * 7.1 - ICANN69 Planning * 7.2 - GNSO Chair election process/timing * 7.3 - Update on the EPDP Phase 1 IRT, in respect of Recommendation 7 _______________________________ Appendix 1: GNSO Council Voting Thresholds (ICANN Bylaws, Article 11, Section 11.3(i)) See https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#article11<https://secure-web.cisco.com/16NOS7qT86xHqN1CanDDdNiN1vzmdYE6ktwXWavKuNefDv6omYrjwNBjaQBdkZxADtwr6lbYXuBqtXXxbq5K9WvCQsj3HKX8bM0nmQ1pOWnrVUiYrHqrNCXn4OPeRuq_wQx8x7Vg-nw8n0TKpSAx4gEWZKo0kuMD3VtuArQz4xrxTLTnXJAJAYNnfVd-SB3Y-UAkZ0IHNMxRNRirQuf25KiJMhBHam9M8EaDtMLcJ1sJoUMn9TqNFCH07pOBJjcC_Pw90-NB948denk8kfOwAqA/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.icann.org%2Fresources%2Fpages%2Fgovernance%2Fbylaws-en%2F%23article11>.
