by Terri Agnew June 23, 2016

June 23, 2016

Dear all, Pre-ICANN meeting email inboxes are full at the best of times, so the GNSO SO/AC Support team has done away with the individual Remote Participation (RP) details and have created a one-stop wiki page for all your RP queries. In addition to this, ICANN meetings' team has put together a new ICANN meeting website which allows you to download all GNSO-related meetings to your inbox calendar in one go. 2 LINKS TO BOOKMARK NOW: ICANN56 Meeting Schedule<https://icann562016.sched.org/> GNSO Remote Participation w<https://community.icann.org/x/yCWOAw>iki page<https://community.icann.org/x/yCWOAw> Step 1 Go to the Meeting Schedule webpage, and if not done yet, create a log in when prompted.

Updated Final Framework of CCWG Principles document
by Mary Wong June 17, 2016

June 17, 2016

Dear all, Please find attached the latest version of the draft Final Uniform Framework of Principles for Future CCWGs. The updates made were based on the Working Group’s discussion on our call yesterday, and includes additional language referring to the ICANN budgeting process which was missing from the earlier draft. Please let us know if you have any concerns with the changes that have been made – for your convenience, this “redlined” version accepts all the changes that were made to the previous version circulated on 10 June (with the exception of those that were determined on the call yesterday to require further modification). The next step will be for staff to put together a short set of slides for Becky and John, for use at the cross community open session in Helsinki. As noted on the call yesterday, these will focus on the following topics: (1) ensuring diversity in CCWG membership and participation; (2) addressing questions regarding additional budget or resource needs; (3) defining consensus; and (4) the role of a CCWG in implementation. Staff will also publish a link to this draft version of the Framework document, so that community members who are interested in the details of the Framework can review the language before ICANN56. Following ICANN56, we expect that this group will review any additional community comments that were received, and prepare a finalized version of the Framework for submission to our Chartering Organizations. The hope is that the work will be complete before the next CCWG is formed – which is anticipated to be one on the New gTLD Auction Proceeds. Thanks and cheers Mary Mary Wong Senior Policy Director Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Email: mary.wong(a)icann.org Telephone: +1-603-5744889 From: Mary Wong <mary.wong(a)icann.org> Date: Friday, June 10, 2016 at 16:18 To: "cwg-framework-principles(a)icann.org" <cwg-framework-principles(a)icann.org> Subject: Updated draft Final Framework of Principles for Future Cross Community Working Groups Dear all, Further to the email below and the Working Group’s discussion at our last meeting on 24 May, please find attached a draft version of an updated, proposed Final Framework document for your review and discussion at our next meeting on Thursday 16 June at 1700 UTC. You should all have received a calendar invitation and call-in details for this meeting from the GNSO Secretariat, so please check your mail settings or spam folders if you did not. In reviewing the attached draft document, please note the following: · Where the changes have been fairly substantial and/or substantive, we have indicated these by highlighting them in yellow. · Where the changes concern the topics that are to be raised with the community during our session at ICANN56, staff has noted them via a Comment box with the phrase “for discussion in Helsinki” in red. · In relation to the open questions that were in the Draft Framework, we have suggested possible Working Group responses and resolutions (highlighted in yellow) – these are based on the public comments received on those open questions. We anticipate further that this section of the Final Framework will likely be substantially rewritten, including to fold accepted responses into the main text of the final document. · We have not as yet updated/amended the draft Charter template in Annex A – this will be done following the ICANN56 discussions and further Working Group deliberations. Please note also that the open community dialogue session at ICANN56 is scheduled for Wednesday 29 June, from 1700-1830 Helsinki time. Staff will prepare additional notes based on suggestions made in the public comments for the topics to be raised at that session – agreed previously by our group to be: (1) ensuring diversity in CCWG membership (on which a substantial number of comments were received); (2) resolving budget and resource questions; (3) defining consensus; and (4) the role of a CCWG in implementation/post-closure Thanks and cheers Mary Mary Wong Senior Policy Director Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Email: mary.wong(a)icann.org Telephone: +1-603-5744889 From: Mary Wong <mary.wong(a)icann.org> Date: Wednesday, June 1, 2016 at 14:10 To: "cwg-framework-principles(a)icann.org" <cwg-framework-principles(a)icann.org> Subject: Follow up to the Working Group call on 24 May Dear all, As a follow up to the discussion at the last Working Group meeting on 24 May, we would like to ask that you send in via email any additional comments you may have on the public comments received to our Draft Framework that have not yet been raised within our Working Group. If possible, please provide these additional comments (if any) by close of business in your respective time zones on Friday 3 June or, if that is not possible, by Monday 6 June. Also as discussed, the next step will be for staff to update the Draft Framework based on the public comments received and the Working Group’s recent discussions. We hope to send this updated proposed Final Framework to everyone for your review by the end of next week, so that the group can discuss the changes and updates made at the next Working Group meeting (currently scheduled for Thursday 16 June). Please note also that a session has been allocated during ICANN 56 for an open community discussion of our work – these open community dialogues are new and are being tried out for the first time at ICANN56 as part of the new Policy Forum format for one of the three ICANN Public Meetings. The co-chairs and staff have been discussing the format and content for our session, to focus the community discussion on the main themes that the group has been discussing as emerging from the public comments – viz., budget/resources for atypical CCWGs; ensuring diversity in membership and representation; achieving consensus; and the role of a CCWG in implementation. The idea is to base the discussion on the proposed Final Framework document, with a view toward gathering feedback that will allow us to finalize the document shortly after ICANN56 and prior to the formation of the next-anticipated CCWG (on New gTLD Auction Proceeds). This open community session is currently slated to take place on Wednesday 29 June, from 1700-1830 Helsinki time, and remote participation details will be sent closer to the meeting.

Roll call/updates to Statements of Interest (if applicable e.g. for GNSO members) 2. Update from WG co-chairs on Amsterdam meeting with interested Board members 3. Continue discussion of public comments received to the Draft Framework 4. Preparation for cross community discussion session at ICANN56 in Helsinki 5. Next steps/next meeting Please refer to the attachment that was sent on 13 May (see message below) for the updated tabular summary of the Public Comment Review Tool. Thanks to Jim Galvin for his positive response to this version – for the meeting, it will be greatly appreciated if everyone is able to glance through the updated document to see if there are specific comments, observations or issues they think need to be raised for WG discussion.

The updates reflect the staff understanding of the discussion that took place on the working group call earlier this week, on 10 May. The next call will be held on 24 May at 1800 UTC. Staff expects that Becky and John, our co-chairs, will provide an update on discussions they are planning to have with interested Board Members at the Global Domains Division (GDD) Summit next week, and a continuation of our review of the remaining public comments. Please note that an open cross-community session on our Framework has been scheduled for the ICANN56 meeting in Helsinki, on Wednesday 29 June at 1800 Helsinki time. Our hope is that by that time we will be in a position to produce an updated, proposed Final Framework based on our analysis of the public comments, which can be presented to the community at that session for feedback and discussion.

We hope that the report as well as the tabular Public Comment Review Tool circulated a few days ago will be helpful to you as you review the public comments we received with a view toward updating and/or amending our draft document, as appropriate.

This document is a tabular summary, excerpting the most relevant parts of each comment submitted corresponding to the specific Section and Open Question from our Draft Framework. In total, 15 relevant submissions were received from individuals as well as groups. Most of the individual commenters drew from their experiences in a number of CCWGs (including the CCWG-Accountability), and the group submissions included comments from the ALAC, the GNSO’s Registries Stakeholder Group and Intellectual Property Constituency, the International Chamber of Commerce, the Government of France and the ICANN Board. Please note that the Public Comment Review Tool does not replace your review of each of the comments received, as the full nuances of all the commenters’ concerns may need to be viewed in their full context. In this regard, allow me to take the liberty of noting, in particular, that more specific details were provided in the comments of the Government of France and the ICANN Board as well as some individual commenters (such as Mathieu Weill, co-chair of the CCWG-Accountability) that could fairly be excerpted and summarized in the Tool. For that reason, you should refer to the full set of comments at https://forum.icann.org/lists/comments-ccwg-framework-principles-22feb16/. The staff report of public comments received has been submitted for publication as well. All the relevant documents can also be viewed and downloaded from our group’s collaborative wiki space: see https://community.icann.org/x/SwSOAw for a copy of the Public Comment Review Tool and the staff report of public comments, and https://community.icann.org/x/zASOAw for a copy of the Draft Framework of Principles as published in February.

Bart Boswinkel:Hi All Avri Doria:i finally found where all my email from the notifacations of these meeetings was getting lost. apologies for all the meetings i missed. Alan Greenberg:For Cheryl, 3 am... And has been a long night (and no doubt the day before) Steve Chan:Hello all Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):indeed i is a follow n mrom 2300 *yesterday evening! Mary Wong:Apologies that we didn't follow up on and include that, all. Terri Agnew:@Avri, glad to hear the missing emails are found and hopefully going forward will no longer be lost Mary Wong:@John, understood and agree Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):Yup Jim Galvin:looking good! Alan Greenberg:For the record, I have been travelling and have not yet reviewed this version. So I cannot speak to the orientation of my nech hairs. Alan Greenberg:neck Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):I think tht should be explicet yes Becky Mary Wong:@CLO, @Becky, are you suggesting that we strengthen this language? In Section 2.0, para 1? Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):yes Mary I believe so Mary Wong:So, eg. "should not be a vehicle" rather than "not generally considered a vehicle"? Becky Burr:"is not the proper vehicle for formal policy development where such authority has been granted to a specific Supporting Organization." Bart Boswinkel:You can also look at page 7 section 1 Bart Boswinkel:detailed description Becky Burr:also agree language on page 7 is good Mary Wong:@Becky, I added "under the Bylaws" to your suggested language - does that work? It's in the Notes on the right side.

Mary Wong:@Becky, presumably that type of CCWG (open ended, no anticipated final deliverable) would be less likely after this Framework is adopted. Mary Wong:@Becky, @CLO, @Alan - you have more experience with the liaison concept through the CWG/CCWG. What do you think? Alan Greenberg:Liaisons are typically from groups that are not chartering orgs Becky Burr:agree with John Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):Liaisons IMO are best seen as *Formal* condute of a formalsed nature Mary Wong:@Jim - yes, that is not addressed. Avri Doria:i would think that of course they çan refuse.

The updates reflect the staff understanding of the discussion that took place on the working group call earlier this week, on 10 May. The next call will be held on 24 May at 1800 UTC. Staff expects that Becky and John, our co-chairs, will provide an update on discussions they are planning to have with interested Board Members at the Global Domains Division (GDD) Summit next week, and a continuation of our review of the remaining public comments. Please note that an open cross-community session on our Framework has been scheduled for the ICANN56 meeting in Helsinki, on Wednesday 29 June at 1800 Helsinki time. Our hope is that by that time we will be in a position to produce an updated, proposed Final Framework based on our analysis of the public comments, which can be presented to the community at that session for feedback and discussion.

This document is a tabular summary, excerpting the most relevant parts of each comment submitted corresponding to the specific Section and Open Question from our Draft Framework. In total, 15 relevant submissions were received from individuals as well as groups. Most of the individual commenters drew from their experiences in a number of CCWGs (including the CCWG-Accountability), and the group submissions included comments from the ALAC, the GNSO’s Registries Stakeholder Group and Intellectual Property Constituency, the International Chamber of Commerce, the Government of France and the ICANN Board. Please note that the Public Comment Review Tool does not replace your review of each of the comments received, as the full nuances of all the commenters’ concerns may need to be viewed in their full context. In this regard, allow me to take the liberty of noting, in particular, that more specific details were provided in the comments of the Government of France and the ICANN Board as well as some individual commenters (such as Mathieu Weill, co-chair of the CCWG-Accountability) that could fairly be excerpted and summarized in the Tool. For that reason, you should refer to the full set of comments at https://forum.icann.org/lists/comments-ccwg-framework-principles-22feb16/. The staff report of public comments received has been submitted for publication as well. All the relevant documents can also be viewed and downloaded from our group’s collaborative wiki space: see https://community.icann.org/x/SwSOAw for a copy of the Public Comment Review Tool and the staff report of public comments, and https://community.icann.org/x/zASOAw for a copy of the Draft Framework of Principles as published in February.

Follow up to the Working Group call on 24 May
by Mary Wong June 1, 2016

June 1, 2016

Dear all, As a follow up to the discussion at the last Working Group meeting on 24 May, we would like to ask that you send in via email any additional comments you may have on the public comments received to our Draft Framework that have not yet been raised within our Working Group. If possible, please provide these additional comments (if any) by close of business in your respective time zones on Friday 3 June or, if that is not possible, by Monday 6 June. Also as discussed, the next step will be for staff to update the Draft Framework based on the public comments received and the Working Group’s recent discussions. We hope to send this updated proposed Final Framework to everyone for your review by the end of next week, so that the group can discuss the changes and updates made at the next Working Group meeting (currently scheduled for Thursday 16 June). Please note also that a session has been allocated during ICANN 56 for an open community discussion of our work – these open community dialogues are new and are being tried out for the first time at ICANN56 as part of the new Policy Forum format for one of the three ICANN Public Meetings. The co-chairs and staff have been discussing the format and content for our session, to focus the community discussion on the main themes that the group has been discussing as emerging from the public comments – viz., budget/resources for atypical CCWGs; ensuring diversity in membership and representation; achieving consensus; and the role of a CCWG in implementation. The idea is to base the discussion on the proposed Final Framework document, with a view toward gathering feedback that will allow us to finalize the document shortly after ICANN56 and prior to the formation of the next-anticipated CCWG (on New gTLD Auction Proceeds). This open community session is currently slated to take place on Wednesday 29 June, from 1700-1830 Helsinki time, and remote participation details will be sent closer to the meeting.

Roll call/updates to Statements of Interest (if applicable e.g. for GNSO members) 2. Update from WG co-chairs on Amsterdam meeting with interested Board members 3. Continue discussion of public comments received to the Draft Framework 4. Preparation for cross community discussion session at ICANN56 in Helsinki 5.
