Oct. 11, 2016

Dear All, Please find below the notes and action items from today’s GAC-GNSO Consultation Group meeting. As a reminder: Action item #1: CG members to review latest version of Final Status Report by Friday 7 October 23:59 UTC at the latest. For your convenience, you will find attached the latest version of the Final Status Report & Recommendations in which I’ve accepted all the edits from Manal and added a few edits to address some of the comments she provided. Please use this version for any further comments and/or edits you may have. Thanks, Marika ====================== AGENDA 1. Welcome / Roll Call 2. Review of latest version of final status update and recommendations 3. Confirm next steps Notes: Apologies: Paul McGrady, Philip Corwin, Ana Neves 1. Welcome / Roll Call · Please state names for transcription purposes · In Helsinki, the leadership team committed to review the survey results, review next steps in light of outstanding items per the charter and develop an approach with the aim to complete CG work by ICANN57 · Draft Final Status Report & Recommendations developed as a result and shared with CG for review and input · A number of comments were received and an updated version was developed as a result · Objective is to deliver Final Status Report & Recommendations to the GNSO & GAC in time for ICANN57 to allow for review and consideration during the meeting. · Aim to complete review of final status report on this call or shortly thereafter so that the document can be finalised for submission. 2. Review of latest version of final status update and recommendations · Take the document as read - invite CG members to indicate any further comments / questions · Set deadline for final comments / edits following which the document will be submitted to the GNSO & GAC. Consider deadline for comments / edits by Friday 7 October, distribution of Final version to GAC & GNSO on Monday 10 October, which would allow for initial discussion during 13 October GNSO Council meeting and an exchange of views during joint GAC-GNSO session at ICANN57 followed by formal consideration / adoption at ICANN57 by the GNSO and GAC. If there is a need for additional time, CG members are encouraged to communicate this on the mailing list as soon as possible (e.g. additional time until Monday to allow for CG members to review over the weekend). · One of the challenges for the GAC is capacity building to connect with PDPs and GAC leadership oversight. · Need a champion to pass on the baton within the GAC. GNSO Liaison provides all relevant information, but not to do the work for the GAC. Consider adding an additional recommendation to this end. · Also consider flagging this to the leadership team of both groups and suggest including it as a topic for the joint session. Action item #1: CG members to review latest version of Final Status Report by Friday 7 October 23:59 UTC at the latest. Action item #2: Staff to finalise Final Status Report & Recommendations for submission to GAC & GNSO by 11 October at the latest.

Kind regards, Nathalie Adobe Chat transcript The chat history has been cleared Nathalie Peregrine: Welcome to the GAC-GNSO Consultation Group Call taking place on Monday, 3 October 2016 at 19:00 UTC Carlos Raul Gutierrez: testing Carlos Raul Gutierrez: hi Nathalie Carlos Raul Gutierrez: long time no see Nathalie Peregrine: Welcome Carlos! Mason Cole: Hello all Nathalie Peregrine: Hello Mason Carlos Raul Gutierrez: in the summertime Carlos Raul Gutierrez: 2 from LA and 1 from NY in the winter Carlos Raul Gutierrez: such is life in the tropics jorge cancio (GAC Switzerland): hello all Olof Nordling: Hello all, finally made it to the AC room! Jonathan Robinson: Hello All. Apologies, I have been a little distracted by my CWG co-chairing responsibilites Mark Carvell UK GAC representative: Manh congrats to you Jonathan and Lise on "no more US ontract"!: jorge cancio (GAC Switzerland): my connection is quite poor (just in case I do not react...) jorge cancio (GAC Switzerland): I found Marikas & Manals last draft very helpful Mark Carvell UK GAC representative: I was away on leave for much of the recent period of consultation so my apologies for not contirbuting recently to finalisation. It is an excellent document and many thanks to Jorge for valuable comments and proposals. Marika Konings: FYI, the version that is referenced by Manal is up on the screen in Adobe Connect Carlos Raul Gutierrez: Oct 13 Marika Konings: document deadline for 13 October meeting is today.... Carlos Raul Gutierrez: we re just in time.... Marika Konings: although it could still be submitted and discussed, but no decision could be taken Carlos Raul Gutierrez: I would support the suggestion to send it out as read to have it in the AGenda of the Council Marika Konings: 23 October is the document deadine for the GNSO Council meeting in Hyderabad - so maybe final version could be shared prior to 13 October meeting for discussion, with a view to adoption in Hyderabad? Carlos Raul Gutierrez: 10 days between the call on the 13th and the deadline of 23rd Oct Marika Konings: so how about a deadline for comments for this Friday? Mark Carvell UK GAC representative: I was going to suggest 20 October for GAC: is that too late? Marika Konings: so we can distribute final version on Monday 10 October Olof Nordling: For the GAC there is some flexibility to the date mentioned, so the GNSO deadline of 23 I think would still be acceptable Carlos Raul Gutierrez: txs marika! Mark Carvell UK GAC representative: Agree with Olof; earlier the better this week and allow sufficient time - 2 weeks - for reps to digest and be reminded of critical importance. jorge cancio (GAC Switzerland): we should only send one final "consultation group" version, I think Mark Carvell UK GAC representative: The changes are mainly about mechanics of interaction between the GNSO and the GAC - so not major substantive issues? Olof Nordling: have checked the latest version and, aside from Manal's comments, I only have a couple of mere nits - like a "g" missing on p4 and a "d" missing on p 6 Olof Nordling: or rather on p5...... Carlos Raul Gutierrez: @Mark we have the mechanisms already set: Early warning and Liason, Leadership meetings etc.. Just a matter of emphasis people might want to add. Or clarifications. In my opinion. Marika Konings: @Olof - can you drop me an email to indicate where exactly these letters are missing so I can update accordingly? Tnx. Mark Carvell UK GAC representative: The primary issues for the GAC are capacity building to connect with PDPs and GAC leadership oversight. Olof Nordling: @Marika, of course, will put those in Manal's redline version Mark Carvell UK GAC representative: Yes to the strong communication message! Carlos Raul Gutierrez: + cover letter Mark Carvell UK GAC representative: Great action plan. Carlos Raul Gutierrez: Thanks to all Mark Carvell UK GAC representative: Thanks - bye all! jorge cancio (GAC Switzerland): thanks to all and bye
