The resolution adopted today adopts a framework [PDF, 612 KB] to conduct a board-initiated GNSO policy development process to refine the purpose of collecting, maintaining and providing access to gTLD registration data, and consider safeguards for protecting data, using the recommendations of the Expert Working Group's Final Report [PDF, 5.12 MB] as an input to, if appropriate, to serve as the foundation for a new gTLD policy. > What is the proposal being considered? > Under the Affirmation of Commitments (AoC), ICANN is committed to enforcing its existing policy relating to WHOIS (subject to applicable laws), which "requires that ICANN implement measures to maintain timely, unrestricted and public access to accurate and complete WHOIS information…." The AoC obligates ICANN to organize no less frequently than every three years a community review of WHOIS policy and its implementation to assess the extent to which WHOIS policy is effective and its implementation meets the legitimate needs of law enforcement and promotes consumer trust. Under this timeline, the second WHOIS Review Team is to be convened in late 2015. > In 2012, in response to the recommendations of the first WHOIS Review Team, the Board adopted a two-prong approach that simultaneously directed ICANN to (1) implement improvements to the current WHOIS system based on the Action Plan [PDF, 119 KB] that was based on the recommendations of the WHOIS Review Team, and (2) launch a new effort, achieved through the creation of the Expert Working Group, to focus on the purpose and provision of gTLD directory services, to serve as the foundation of a Board-initiated GNSO policy development process (PDP). > The Expert Working Group's Final Report [PDF, 5.12 MB] contains a proposed model and detailed principles to serve as the foundation for a PDP to support the creation of the next generation registration directory services to replace WHOIS. This Final Report [PDF, 5.12 MB] contains over 160 pages of complex principles and recommendations to be considered in the GNSO PDP. In order to effectively manage the PDP on such a large scale, an informal group of Board members and GNSO councilors collaborated to develop the framework [PDF, 612 KB] approved today. > What factors did the Board find to be significant? > The complex nature of the EWG's recommendations, along with the contentiousness nature of the WHOIS issue in the ICANN community over the last ten+ years, calls for a very structured approach to conducting a policy development process of this magnitude. The framework [PDF, 612 KB] provides guidance to the GNSO on how to best structure the resulting PDP(s) for success – that is, it proposes a process which leads to new policies defining the purpose of gTLD registration data and improving accuracy, privacy, and access to that data. > This framework [PDF, 612 KB] creates a 3-phased approach to conducting the PDP, with Phase 1 focusing on definition of the policy requirements, Phase 2 focusing on the functional design elements of the policy, and Phase 3 focusing on implementation of the policies and providing guidance during an expected transition period during which the legacy WHOIS system and the next generation registration directory services may coexist and both operational at the same time. The Board believes that following the framework [PDF, 612 KB] will ensure that the PDP will properly address the many significant issues and interdependencies that require consideration in order to support the creation of the next generation registration directory services. > The Board recognizes that additional resources may be needed for the conduct of this unique policy development process. The Board commits to reviewing the GNSO's proposed plan and schedule, as well as Staff's assessment of the resources required to implement this proposed plan, and to supporting appropriate resourcing for the conduct of this PDP. > In addition, the Board believes that the importance of the WHOIS issue, along with the breadth and scope of the many WHOIS activities currently under way, support the need for a designated group of Board members dedicated to overseeing the entire WHOIS Program, including working with the community on the GNSO PDP, and any future transition to a next generation registration directory services that may emerge following the GNSO PDP. Community members participating in the informal Board-GNSO Council effort to develop the framework for the PDP also requested the Board's continued involvement in this effort. > What significant materials did the Board review? > The Board reviewed the EWG Final Report [PDF, 5.12 MB], the framework [PDF, 612 KB] developed through the informal collaboration between the Board and the GNSO Council, and the Briefing Papers submitted by Staff. > Are there fiscal impacts or ramifications on ICANN (strategic plan, operating plan, or budget)? > The initiation of focused work on WHOIS and the creation of policies to support the next generation of registration directory services are expected to have an impact on financial resources as the research and work progresses. Due to the expected complexity of this PDP, there is a potential that this PDP may have higher resource needs than other PDPs, though the full extent of those resource needs are not fully understood, particularly as to the scope of those resources in comparison to the resources proposed for allocation within the upcoming fiscal year for this effort. The Board commits to reviewing staff's assessment of resources for the conduct of this PDP (after there is a plan and schedule developed) with a view towards providing appropriate resourcing for the conduct of this PDP. > Are there any security, stability or resiliency issues relating to the DNS? > This action is not expected to have an immediate impact on the security, stability or resiliency of the DNS, though the outcomes of this work may result in positive impacts. > Is public comment required prior to Board action? > As this is a continuation of prior Board actions, public comment is not necessary prior to adoption. A public comment period will be commenced, as required by the ICANN Bylaws, once the Preliminary Issue Report is published by Staff, thereby allowing the framework [PDF, 612 KB] approved today to be adjusted as appropriate prior to delivery of the Final Issue Report to the GNSO. > Mason Cole VP Communications & Industry Relations Donuts Inc. ………………………………………… mason(a)donuts.co Ofc +1 503 908 7623 Cell +1 503 407 2555

Success Criteria for GAC Early Engagement in the GNSO Issue Scoping Phase Pilot
by Amr Elsadr April 16, 2015

April 16, 2015

Hi, Just following up on one of the action items from our call last month. Attached to this email, you will find some thoughts on possible criteria for measuring success of the recommendations we made regarding the GAC’s early engagement in the issue scoping phase of a GNSO PDP. They are set up in a mind map in the PDF version, and as a table in the MS Word document. Feedback would be most welcome and appreciated. Thanks. Amr

GNSO Council resolutions 19 March 2015
by Glen de Saint Géry March 21, 2015

March 21, 2015

FYI Dear Councillors, Please find the resolutions passed by the GNSO Council in its meeting on Thursday, 19 March 2015. These are also published on page: http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions Consent agenda Council confirmed the selection of the Privacy & Proxy Services Accreditation Issues (PPSAI) Working Group for a facilitated face-to-face meeting at ICANN53 in Buenos Aires. Motion to implement the recommendations of the GAC-GNSO Consultation Group in relation to Issue Scoping on a trial basis 1. In March 2014 the GNSO and GAC formed a joint consultation group (CG) to explore mechanisms to facilitate GAC early engagement in GNSO Policy Development Processes. 2. As per its charter, the CG's deliberations have focused on two tracks, namely 1) a mechanism for day-to-day ongoing cooperation and 2) a mechanism for GAC early engagement in the GNSO PDP (see https://community.icann.org/display/gnsogcgogeeipdp/3.+Charter) 3. As part of its deliberations on track 2), the CG put forward a set of preliminary recommendations concerning the issue scoping phase of the PDP which were reviewed and discussed by the GAC and the GNSO during the ICANN52 meeting in Singapore (see http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/gac-cg-issue-scoping-27jan15-en.pdf) 4. The GAC noted in its Communiqué (ICANN52), that 'The GAC met the GNSO and agreed, on a trial basis and subject to ongoing adjustments as necessary, to a mechanism proposed by the GAC-GNSO Consultation Group for early engagement at the issues scoping phase of the GNSO Policy Development Process (PDP). This includes formation of a GAC Quick-Look Mechanism Committee. The arrangements will allow for an early indication in the PDP of whether the issue has a standing GAC advice and whether it has public policy implications, and hence is of interest to the GAC. It will also enable the GNSO to factor this in and the GAC to prepare input to be provided at the relevant stages of the PDP. This would not limit the GAC's existing ability to give advice to the ICANN Board'. 5. Based on these discussions and input received, the CG recommends that the GAC and GNSO Council implement these recommendations on a trial basis, in order to assess their effectiveness in facilitating GAC early engagement in the GNSO PDP. 6. In the meantime, the CG will continue its review and deliberations on the other phases of the GNSO PDP, which may result in further proposals of additional recommendations for consideration. RESOLVED 1. The GNSO Council agrees to jointly implement with the GAC, the preliminary recommendations by the CG concerning the issue scoping phase of the PDP as outlined here http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/gac-cg-issue-scoping-27jan15-en.pdf on a trial basis for a minimum of 3 consecutive GNSO PDP's immediately following the adoption of the motion. 2. Following the end of this trial period, the CG is expected to report back to the GAC and GNSO Council on the effectiveness of these recommendations as a result of the experiences gained during the trial period. Furthermore, the CG is expected to make a recommendation as to whether or not the preliminary recommendations concerning the issue scoping phase of the PDP should be permanently implemented, either in their current form, or with possible modifications based on the further work of the CG including experience gained during the trial. 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

Re: [Gac-gnso-cg] Notes & Action items from today's GAC-GNSO CG meeting
by Marika Konings March 17, 2015

March 17, 2015

Reminder - so far I have received one apology. Please let me know off-list if you cannot make the meeting on Tuesday 24 March at 14.00 UTC. Best regards, Marika From: Marika Konings <marika.konings(a)icann.org<mailto:marika.konings@icann.org>> Date: Tuesday 10 March 2015 16:30 To: "gac-gnso-cg(a)icann.org<mailto:gac-gnso-cg@icann.org>" <gac-gnso-cg(a)icann.org<mailto:gac-gnso-cg@icann.org>> Subject: [Gac-gnso-cg] Notes & Action items from today's GAC-GNSO CG meeting Dear All, Please find below the notes & action items from today's GAC-GNSO Consultation Group meeting. Note that the next meeting will be scheduled for Tuesday 24 March at 14.00 UTC (if you cannot make the meeting, please let staff know off-list as soon as possible). Best regards, Marika Notes & Action Items 10/3: 2. Membership Update Olga Cavalli has joined the CG as a representative from the GAC. GNSO to review distribution of members amongst SG/C to ensure balance and adequate representation. Action item: Olof to confirm membership from the GAC side and ensure all members on the list are still interested in staying on. Action item: Marika to confirm membership from the GNSO side and ensure all members on the list are still interested in staying on. 3. ICANN meeting in Singapore & current status review Presentation to and discussion with the GAC during the GAC-GNSO joint session. Support expressed in the GAC Communique to go ahead with the Preliminary Recommendations concerning Issue Scoping. Formal approval anticipated during next week's GNSO Council meeting (19 March) to go ahead with trial period. 4. Review draft work plan and discuss way forward What are the success criteria that will be used to evaluate the quick look mechanism? Maybe the CG should have a wider look, beyond how the GAC and GNSO may make assessment, at what the success measures are for this as well as possible future recommendations. Should CG have closer look at whether/how the success criteria are met, and if not, what was the point of failure? Ensure that success criteria are identified for any and all recommendations that are developed by the CG. Action item: develop / map success criteria for pilot (Amr, Carlos and Olga to develop first draft) In relation to a possible procedure for how to proceed in cases where GAC early input is in conflict with a GNSO proposal and a mutual agreement could not be found - is it possible to have a very firm process around that, or is it something that should be evaulated in process. Sub-processes could potentially be identified for each stages in case GAC advice/input differs from GNSO (preliminary) recommendations/viewpoint. Key issue is to exchange information and enhance understanding between the different parties which is aimed to increase mutual understanding and reduce potential for conflicts. Merge two work streams and work though these as a committee of the whole. Support for proposed meeting schedule (meeting every three weeks). Action item: Staff to prepare list of items that need to be worked on, including proposed priority order. Review reference materials that have been prepared earlier and could serve as a starting point. Next meeting will be scheduled for 24 March at 14.00 UTC.

Kind regards, Nathalie Adobe Chat transcript Nathalie Peregrine:Dear all, welcome to the GAC GNSO Consultation group call on the 10th March 2015 at 1400 UTC Nathalie Peregrine:@ all, we are having issues with the AC audio today, our apologies for this. If you are unable to dial into the audio bridge, please provide your contact phone number and I will dial out to you Carlos Raul (GNSO):please call +506 4000 2000 Nathalie Peregrine:Carlos, we are dialing out to you now Avri Doria:oh Nathalie Peregrine:Avri, hello, do you need a dial out? Avri Doria:nope. just need tto find my phone and its earphones. Avri Doria:thanks though CarlosRaul:connecte CarlosRaul:txs Nathalie Peregrine:thank you Carlos Nathalie Peregrine:@ all, there will be NO audio today via the AC room, apologies for this Amr Elsadr:Hi. Do we not have audio? Do I need to dial in? Amr Elsadr:Ah. Thanks Nathalie. Nathalie Peregrine:Please dial in Amr, or we can dial out to you, as you prefer. Amr Elsadr:Dialing in now. Olga Cavalli - GAC:audio souns very distant, from marika I guess Olga Cavalli - GAC:yes now it is fine Amr Elsadr:I can hear you fine Marika. CarlosRaul:hanging up now Jonathan Robinson:I hear you Marika and others. All clear now Amr Elsadr:Well..., since I'm already dialed in. :) Jonathan Robinson:All: Remember to mute when not speaking. Amr Elsadr:Looks like we're a little light on the GAC side today? Amr Elsadr:Usually the opposite. :) CarlosRaul:We havo Olga CarlosRaul: and Olof, right? Amr Elsadr:Welcome Olga. Nice to have you here. :) Olga Cavalli - GAC:yes Olga Cavalli - GAC:Olof we can contact them Olga Cavalli - GAC:agree with Jonathan Olof Nordling:Yes, will contact all for their willingness to stay on during 2015 Amr Elsadr:We have a motion for the next council meeting. CarlosRaul:had a shor audio interruption CarlosRaul:I´m back Amr Elsadr:@Olga: Exactly. This is a great example for why we may need to broaden the criteria of success. Amr Elsadr:It would certainly be helpful to have GAC input to any criteria we come up with. Nathalie Peregrine:please mute mics and phones when not talking, thanks! Marika Konings:Completely agree with Avri Marika Konings:I actually had already taken that for granted - at each stage GAC input needs to be carefully evaluated and any differences discussed and addressed. Avri Doria:but even in scoping issues, we may find disagreements. Avri Doria:they may see the issue differently, and yes, may even see it as a non issue. Marika Konings:or consider it not within the remit for the GNSO to address... Amr Elsadr:Points taken. I was wondering what conflicts may occur. I suppose you're all right; there may actually be room for disagreement. Amr Elsadr:The charter drafting phase isn't included in this phase of our work, right? Amr Elsadr:@Marika: +1 Marika Konings:Jonathan is correct - a draft charter is included in the Preliminary Issue Report and as such part of this phase. Amr Elsadr:If a drafting team is formed, it becomes part of the PDP WG phase, correct? Marika Konings:@Amr - I think that is actually the initiation phase Amr Elsadr:OK. I find the new mapping of the process a little confusing. :) Marika Konings:that covers the vote on the initiation and adoption of the charter (whether on the recommendation of a DT or as a result of the draft in the Final Issue Report) Amr Elsadr:Thanks Marika. Marika Konings:@Amr - these graphics may help: http://gnso.icann.org/en/basics/consensus-policy/pdp Amr Elsadr:Yes. I'm assuming that the initaion phase starts with "Initiate Policy Development Process", so actually not part of the issue scoping phase. Amr Elsadr:Ah. Just spotted the initiation phase in the diagram further down. Thanks Marika. CarlosRaul:frequency is right CarlosRaul:allthough i have a conflict in April Amr Elsadr:I'm fine with the frequency for now. Olga Cavalli - GAC:frequency is right, we must have in mind therre are many meetings also related with IANA transition and they should not overlap Amr Elsadr:@Olga: I'm guessing Jonathan is very aware of that. :) Olga Cavalli - GAC:I know :) Olga Cavalli - GAC:24march is istanbul I will be there Mason Cole:not impacted by Istanbul but I will be on holiday that day Olga Cavalli - GAC:depending on time i wll be able to attend Olof Nordling:we tend to stick to 1400 UTC Marika Konings:For those in Istanbul, we could try to find a meeting room to do the call (if the call goes ahead) Marika Konings:if there is no conflicting meeting, of course CarlosRaul:thank you all Amr Elsadr:Thanks all.

GAC communique on Quick Look Mechanism ..
by Manal Ismail Feb. 13, 2015

Feb. 13, 2015

Dear All .. Just sharing with you the GAC communique part on Quick Look Mechanism .. "The GAC met the GNSO and agreed, on a trial basis and subject to ongoing adjustments as necessary, to a mechanism proposed by the GAC-GNSO Consultation Group for early engagement at the issues scoping phase of the GNSO Policy Development Process (PDP). This includes formation of a GAC Quick-Look Mechanism Committee. The arrangements will allow for an early indication in the PDP of whether the issue has a standing GAC advice and whether it has public policy implications, and hence is of interest to the GAC. It will also enable the GNSO to factor this in and the GAC to prepare input to be provided at the relevant stages of the PDP. This would not limit the GAC's existing ability to give advice to the ICANN Board." Thank you all and looking forward to further progress putting the suggested mechanism into action .. Safe travels to all .. Kind Regards --Manal

Thanks Marika .. I'll share the clean and pdf versions on the GAC list .. Kind Regards --Manal From: gac-gnso-cg-bounces(a)icann.org [mailto:gac-gnso-cg-bounces@icann.org] On Behalf Of Marika Konings Sent: Tuesday, January 27, 2015 2:36 PM To: gac-gnso-cg(a)icann.org Subject: [Gac-gnso-cg] Updated Preliminary Recommendations Issue Scoping Dear All, Following the comments from Carlos and Amr, I've updated the preliminary recommendations document to reflect their feedback. You'll find attached both the redline and clean version, as well as the clean version in pdf format. Manal, Jonathan, will you distribute this document to the GAC and GNSO Council so everyone will hopefully have an opportunity to review the document prior to the joint GAC-GNSO Council meeting in Singapore? If easier, I'm sure Olof and I will be happy to assist as well to get this document shared with the respective groups. Best regards, Marika
