Section 18.12 Special IFRs: a. Guidelines for How to Use the GNSO Input Process for a Special IFR 4.1 Introduction -- “Must select a decision process and document its deliberations and decisions. Council [may use the GIP to determine]...” -- keep it simple. -- Or could say, “should consider”. 4.3 and 4.4: -- Resolve Wolf-Ulrich’s comment -- don’t make the change. This reflects the order of the GIP. 4.5 GIP Outcomes and Processes -- Question: Section 4.5 GIP will be seeking input from SOs/ACs, but it’s not clear if this has happened or will be in conjunction with ccNSO. -- Interpret as ccNSO and GNSO doing it together and it would have been completed. -- There is also the issue of public comment. It is confusing in this document. -- Need to note the time for consultation with SOs/ACs and public comment. -- Flag for redrafting. See suggested language in the text by Steve DelBianco. ACTION: David McAuley agreed to review and redraft. b. ccNSO/GNSO guidelines -- staff is drafting, inquiry into ICANN Legal on initiation of a Special IFR -- Maxim’s concerns about what is the “consultation”? -- Make it clear in the guidelines what the outcome is with the discussion with Legal. 4. Section 1.3 Approval Action Community Forum: ACTION: Staff will revise after considering ccNSO GRC guidelines and send for review. 5. Section 2.2 Petition Process for Specified Actions and 2.3 Rejection Action Community Forum: ACTION: Staff will revise after considering ccNSO GRC guidelines and send for review.
