Kind regards, Nathalie Adobe Chat transcript Marika Konings:Welcome to the GAC-GNSO Consultation Group Meeting of 8 September 2015 Jonathan Robinson:Hi. Please can we swap items 5 & 6 as per manal's email suggestion Olga Cavalli - GAC Argentina:hi can the operator dial out to me? + 54 11 4826 2530 Jonathan Robinson:Be good to confirm membership of this group at the outset Jonathan Robinson:I.e. as part of the roll call Nathalie Peregrine:@ Olga, yes, no problem at all Olga Cavalli - GAC Argentina:thanks Nathali Olga Cavalli - GAC Argentina:e Manal Ismail:Hello everyone :) !! Olga Cavalli - GAC Argentina:hi Manal! Manal Ismail:@Jonathan good suggestions .. Olof Nordling:Hello from downtown Brussels in the aftermath of a farmer's demonstration Manal Ismail:Jonathan would you like to start or should I ? Amr Elsadr:Hi all. Just joined via the AC room. Jonathan Robinson:@Manal. I am OK either way. Perhaps 1 more minute Mark Carvell GAC - UK Govt:Hello - just joined. Jonathan Robinson:Ah. It's 3 past the hour. I suggest we move ahead now. Manal Ismail:ok .. Manal Ismail:ok go ahead please .. Manal Ismail:yes we do .. Jonathan Robinson:Ana is in the AC Ana Neves:yes, I'm here. Amr Elsadr:For example, it may be helpful to know if this may be helpful to QLMCs being set up? Marika Konings:Yes, I think that is correct Olga Cavalli - GAC Argentina:is it there a GNSO GAC leadership call in the agenda in the next weeks? Olga Cavalli - GAC Argentina:i donot recall now Marika Konings:@Olga - not that I am aware. I think the idea is to schedule such a call to take place shortly before the next ICANN meeting but it is probably important to already get this on the agenda. Olga Cavalli - GAC Argentina:thanks Marika Olga Cavalli - GAC Argentina:i donot hear Mark Jonathan Robinson:It strikes me that it makes sense to schedule a GAC / GNSO leadership call between now & Dublin Marika Konings:@Jonathan - we can set up a doodle poll to identify a time / date that works for all. Olof Nordling:Correct - bt the GAC Communique is a bit wider than GAC Advice to the Board only - the GAC Advice is a part of the Communique Amr Elsadr:GAC communiques to the board are meant to inform and be included in issues reports they are relevant to as part of the pilot project of this group. Was only wondering to what extent this excercise by the GNSO Council is helpful to that end. Apologies if I caused confusion. Mark Carvell GAC - UK Govt:@ Amr - thanks for clarification. I see it is complementary but would cover other issues. All need to understand that this is nto a one-stop check on GAC PDP interaction.. Olga Cavalli - GAC Argentina:jonathans audio is scattered Olga Cavalli - GAC Argentina:i lost audio :( Nathalie Peregrine:@Jonathan, we can dial out to you Olga Cavalli - GAC Argentina:back Olga Cavalli - GAC Argentina:i lost jonathan again Amr Elsadr:@Jonathan: Could you please repeat the question once more? Mark Carvell GAC - UK Govt:On GAC side we need to measure awareness and reminder of process. Jonathan Robinson:I am on +44 (0)20 7993 6103 if audio breaks again Avri Doria:Marika anssered my question. Thanks Marika Konings:Jonathan, you are breaking up again Olga Cavalli - GAC Argentina:I dot hear Jonathan Amr Elsadr:At this point, I would be happy to hear feedback from the GAC on how effective the CG's recommendations were regarding the QLM. Thanks. Amr Elsadr:Interesting observations from Marika and Olof. Amr Elsadr:I can hear you fine, Jonathan. Mark Carvell GAC - UK Govt:I suggest GAC Secretariat circulate a paper on implementation to date and what is live at time of Dublin. Olga Cavalli - GAC Argentina:+1 to marks comment Amr Elsadr:Also +1 @Mark. Manal Ismail:+1 Mark .. Ana Neves:it makes sense for GAC what Mark suggested. Manal Ismail:we can hear you Olga .. Amr Elsadr:I can hear you loud and clear, Olga. Ana Neves:can't hear anything! Terri Agnew:@Ana, let me know if a dial out is needed Ana Neves:it seems I'm still connected but no sound at all for the last couple of minutes... Amr Elsadr:Did I just lose audio? Olga Cavalli - GAC Argentina:cannot hear manal Manal Ismail:it seems that I lost audio .. Ana Neves:I've no audio at all Manal Ismail:I was suggesting to inetgrate the GNSO liaison role to the paper that Mark suggested to be circulated .. I believe the early engagement is partially QLM and partially GNSO liaison to the GAC .. Ana Neves:+ 1 Manal Olga Cavalli - GAC Argentina:+1 Manal Manal Ismail:... and seek feedback or suggestions for enhencement in light of the couple of ongoing PDPs .. Mark Carvell GAC - UK Govt:Feedback from Mason also valuable. Jonathan Robinson:@Mark. Good point Manal Ismail:Agree Mark .. Mark Carvell GAC - UK Govt:GAC will have a lot to say on next round - the tming, conduct and addressign where first round failed. It willtake several GAC meetings to discuss and arrive at final positiosn. I wonder if there a risk of being out of step with the PDP? Amr Elsadr:@Mark: I believe that at this stage (issue scoping/identification), all that is requried is that issues are flagged. There will be plenty of opportunity for substantive input at later stages of the PDP. Olga Cavalli - GAC Argentina:Marika could you share the link to the document that is our for comments now? Mark Carvell GAC - UK Govt:@ Olga: are we discussing next round in Dublin? (I had to miss the recent agenda-setting call) Olga Cavalli - GAC Argentina:+1 to Jonathan ´s suggestion abour working groups in the agenda for dublin Olga Cavalli - GAC Argentina:@mark i no not recall we are Olof Nordling:@Mark: Yes, we have next round aspects for New gTLDs in the agenda, Olga Cavalli - GAC Argentina:thanks mark...too much going on.... Manal Ismail:Thanks Jonathan .. Jonathan Robinson:@All. I am OK with two weeks Amr Elsadr:2 weeks sounds good. Manal Ismail:I'm fine with 2 weeks too .. Olga Cavalli - GAC Argentina:2 weeks ok Mark Carvell GAC - UK Govt:For me can't do 22nd (there is a CCWG call I think too. 23rd would be good. Olga Cavalli - GAC Argentina:23 yes Olga Cavalli - GAC Argentina:what time later? Amr Elsadr:Later on the 22nd sounds good. Olga Cavalli - GAC Argentina:ok Amr Elsadr:Maybe make the suggestion of UTC 15:00 on-list. Manal Ismail:ok .. may be a bit late though .. Mark Carvell GAC - UK Govt:Not sure if I can do 22nd - unlikely have to say! Brian Winterfeldt:Thank you everyone. Apologies for being a bit late today - had a conflicting IPC Leadership call.

Notes and action items from today's GAC-GNSO CG meeting
by Marika Konings Sept. 8, 2015

Sept. 8, 2015

Dear All, Please find below the notes from today's GAC-GNSO Consultation Group meeting. Please take note of the action items and look out for the doodle poll that will be circulated shortly in order to schedule a next meeting on Tuesday 22 or 23 September. Best regards, Marika Notes 8 September 2015 Apologies: Suzanne Radell Roll call: Jonathan Robinson, Amr Elsadr, Avri Doria, Mason Cole, Brian Winterfeldt (joined late), Manal Ismail, Ana Neves, Mark Carvell, Olga Cavalli Absent no apologies: David Cake, , Carlos Gutierrez, Gema Campillos 1. GNSO Review of the GAC Communique * See letter and review shared on the CG mailing list. * Objective to review GAC communique for any policy implications - identify whether there has been gTLD policy work or gTLD policy work is planned on topics that are identified in the GAC communique to help inform the Board in its deliberations. * Letter has been submitted to the ICANN Board with cc to the GAC but no feedback has been received to date. * Has been well received based on comments from several GAC colleagues, might be worth seeking Board feedback? * Consider highlighting those issues that may require further conversation or explanation (e.g. in the intro to the matrix). Could then be included as a topic for conversation between GNSO and GAC Leadership as part of their regular calls. * How does this link to the work of the CG? Does the group expect that it will support the goals of the CG, even though it is a separate effort? * Feedback on the GAC Communique may also be welcome (e.g. is it clear enough, are sufficient details provided) Action: GNSO to consider following up with ICANN Board to request feedback on this initiative Action: Olof to send reminder to the GAC concerning the GNSO Review of the GAC Communique and solicit feedback (e.g. is this helpful, is there other information that should be provided) Action: Provide feedback on the clarity and effectiveness of the GAC Communique (all) 3. Review of implementation of Early Engagement recommendations ('Quick Look Mechanism') to date * Staff has identified a number of areas that may benefit from streamlining / enhancements such as the timing, means of communication. Formal review is expected to be conducted after 5 Issue Reports. * It has now been used for two Issue Reports (next generation RDS, new gTLD Subsequent Procedures) Action: CG members to start thinking of issues that will need to be considered as part of the review and how review should be undertaken.. Action: GAC secretariat to circulate a paper on QLM implementation to date and what is live at time of Dublin, also include further information on the role of the GNSO liaison to the GAC to date. 4. Review of GNSO Liaison to the GAC pilot project (timing, mechanism) * At some point work will need to be undertaken to review the GNSO liaison to the GAC pilot project and make a recommendation to GNSO and GAC on whether to continue or not, including possible modifications. * GNSO Council indicated it would be receptive to the CG.evaluting the role and providing recommendations. * Consider reviewing different aspects of the role, also linked to QLM and consider whether there is any need for changes / enhancements. * With regards to timing, FY17 budget planning should be taken into account. * Evaluate role within different phases of the work that is being undertaken in the context of other CG recommendations. * Also include feedback from Mason. How can GAC WGs that are working on new gTLD related topics best provide input to the GNSO? * Preliminary Issue Report is currently out for public comment (see https://www.icann.org/public-comments/new-gtld-subsequent-prelim-2015-08-31… - focus should be on identifying any topics that may be missing or where additional information is required. Substantive input concerning proposed changes or new policy are best submitted to the PDP WG (if/when the PDP is initiated by the GNSO Council) * With regards to geographic names / country and territory names, ccNSO and GNSO Chairs have requested co-ordination with GAC to ensure better understanding of the different initiatives that are currently ongoing in relation to this topic (CWG and GAC internal WG). Focus of work may be different, but probably still important to ensure that this is understood. Action: Add this topic to the agenda for conversation between GAC and GNSO leadership. 5. Ongoing communication & co-ordination - are current mechanisms like GNSO Liaison to the GAC and GNSO-GAC Leadership calls prior to every ICANN meeting sufficient or do other mechanisms need to be considered. * Need to be further institutionalised - proposal to have one intersessional call which is in preparation for F2F meeting. 6. Discuss possible recommendations for other phases of GNSO PDP (see first draft of the Initiation and WG phase attached - page 3 and 4); Action: all encouraged to review flow charts and share feedback / suggestions with the mailing list 7. AOB / Next steps / Confirm time of next meeting Action: Schedule next meeting for Tuesday 22 September or 23 September (Doodle poll to follow)

FW: GNSO Council Resolutions 24 June 2015
by Glen de Saint Géry June 25, 2015

June 25, 2015

FYI Please find the resolution passed at the GNSO Council meeting today, Wednesday 24 June 2015. 1. Extension of the term of GNSO Liaison to the Governmental Advisory Committee Whereas: 1. As part of the discussions within ICANN between the GNSO and GAC, on how to facilitate early engagement of the GAC in GNSO policy development activities, the option of appointing a GNSO liaison to the GAC was proposed as one of the mechanisms to explore and implemented as a one-year pilot program in FY15 on the recommendation of the GAC-GNSO Consultation Group. 2. The GAC and GNSO Council agreed that additional time was needed to fully evaluate this pilot program and as such requested, and received, support for continuing the pilot program in FY16. 3. Mason Cole has been fulfilling the role of GNSO Liaison to the GAC and has indicated that he is willing to continue in this role for FY16. 4. This mechanism will be evaluated at the end of FY16, by both the GNSO Council and the GAC, to determine whether or not to continue in either in the same form or with possible adjustments based on the feedback received. Resolved: 1. The GNSO Council hereby extends the term of Mason Cole to the role of GNSO Liaison to the Governmental Advisory Committee until 30 June 2016. 2. The GNSO Council Leadership Team will co-ordinate with Mason Cole as well as the GAC-GNSO Consultation Group on the continued implementation of this role. 1. should any questions or issues arise before that time. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you. Kind regards, Glen Glen de Saint Géry GNSO Secretariat gnso.secretariat(a)gnso.icann.org<mailto:gnso.secretariat@gnso.icann.org> http://gnso.icann.org<http://gnso.icann.org/>
