Suzanne, to clarify, from the GNSO's perspective the work on the protection of IGO/INGO identifiers is complete for now as the recommendations have been submitted to the ICANN Board for its consideration (who directed the new gTLD Program Committee at its last meeting to ' (1) consider the policy recommendations from the GNSO as it continues to actively develop an approach to respond to the GAC advice on protections for IGOs; and (2) develop a comprehensive proposal to address the GAC advice and the GNSO policy recommendations for consideration by the Board at a subsequent meeting). As such, it does not appear on the list. What has been included is the Preliminary Issue Report that is being drafted by staff on exploring whether the URS and/or UDRP should be amended to allow access by IGO/INGOs which is expected to be published for public comment later this month. This is the first step in a possible PDP and follows the recommendation of the Protection of IGO/INGO Identifiers PDP Working Group. In relation to privacy / proxy, maybe including the the request for input that was sent to the GAC (see attached) which provides some further specificity in relation to the questions the WG has been tasked to address as well as a link to the early engagement one-pager (found at https://gacweb.icann.org/download/attachments/33849431/Jan%202014%20Early%20 Engage%20RAA%20PDP.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1391155976629&api=v2) might be helpful?

I like Mikey¹s idea of presenting the different initiatives in their stages, as that does make it easier to understand the status of individual initiatives. I am still not sure, however, whether the material presented might need some further explanation. For example, having already delivered GAC consensus advice to the ICANN Board on the IOC/Red Cross and IGOs, it¹s not clear what input is being sought from the GNSO on the IGO/INGO matter. As just one GAC member, I¹m confused, and imagine others may well be too. Re the privacy and proxy issue, which is of great interest (even though very few GAC members are engaged as yet), I wonder if the write up could lay out a bit more clearly what the issues are; it is the statement of issues (perhaps the scope of work?) that we¹d want to use as a trigger for the GAC to determine whether and if so ,how, public policy matters should be taken into account. I hope this makes sense; if not, just let me know and I¹ll try again. Rather than send two separate emails, I¹m using this same message to respond to Manal¹s second email with regard to the day to day cooperation material. It strikes me that we might want to put the objectives and expectations out to the GAC and the GNSO for comment, as preparation for the Singapore meeting. Since this is such an important project, I¹d feel more confident if we conducted periodic reality checks, and since Singapore is a short 5 weeks away, I see that meeting as a golden opportunity to hear from our respective communities and, more importantly, to have them endorse this approach. I hope I¹m not out of sync with the rest of you, and would very much welcome your thoughts.

[MI]: good J .. as a person with a really short attention span, i would like to see the two sections reversed. so the summary list goes first and then the details follow. those long solid blocks of text in the detailed write up are hard to get through but really helpful if one of the PDPs catches my eye and i want to learn more. would you take that as a friendly amendment? [MI]: fully agree .. you have a point .. thanks for the suggestion .. will do .. i think your document would be really helpful for both the GAC AND the GNSO. it¹s a nice short summary of the ³pipeline² of PDPs that seems easy to prepare and easy to digest. and maybe a web version of it goes up on the GNSO web page and a link is included each time it¹s distributed? that way the world can quickly find out what is happening. [MI]: first of all it¹s your and Marika¹s document J !! this is a mere copy and paste from what you have both sent .. I also like the web version suggestion .. let¹s keep it in mind until we receive all suggestions .. i also agree that there are interim-improvement opportunities here. for example, i¹m part of the Data and Metrics for Policy Making working group which is in the early stages of getting under way. this would be a great working group for GAC members who are interested in improving our "fact-based policy making² capability. since i¹m also a member of this group, i could help any GAC volunteers find their way in what may be unfamiliar territory. [MI]: agree .. although I¹m embarrassed to say that I¹ve found out that I¹ve been contacted regarding the PDP on the Translation and Transliteration of Contact Information and have overlooked it !!! thanks for the kind offer to help .. [MI]: will wait one more day, unless otherwise requested, to allow for more feedback before I forward to the GAC .. Thanks again for your feedback .. mikey On Feb 18, 2014, at 6:24 AM, Manal Ismail <manal@tra.gov.eg> wrote: Many thanks Marika and Mikey .. Extremely useful .. With interim improvements in mind, I believe it may be useful to share both your messages on the GAC list, please see the attached file .. Do you, Jonathan or any of our group members feel uncomfortable about this? Although I do not expect immediate feedback, yet: - I believe it may be useful to share in preparation for our discussions in Singapore - It may trigger a discussion on the best format to receive such info (a first step towards interim improvements) - I hope it may trigger GAC members to join any of the active working groups - In an ideal situation, GAC members joining any of the active working groups may provide us with real-time feedback to further fine tune our work Please let me know what you think ..

Following adoption of the charter, a call for volunteers will be circulated to the community for participation. 7.
