Dear IGO/INGO IRT, Please see my email to the GNSO Council below. Normally, it would be a 30-minute call but this time around they asked for a written report due to schedule difficulties.

Since our last meeting, the following was reported on 10 October 2017 version of the GNSO Project List: “The proposed implementation of GNSO Consensus Policy Recommendation for the Protection of IGO&INGO Identifier in All gTLDs<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/igo-ingo-protection-2017-05-17-en> was posted for public comment and the summary and analysis report completed. The implementation team is in the process of finalizing the policy document based on the recommendations received in the public comment in collaborations with the IRT.” Specifically, we had been working to resolve conflicting requests from registries. While some registries were requesting short implementation time frame, others asked for much longer duration. Upon research, we had learned that those requesting quick implementation were interested in taking advantage of the exceptions procedure to register reserved names which this policy allows and those who were asking for longer time were concerned about the INGO claims system development. The implementation team devised a plan where we could satisfy both needs by offering two effective dates: one for reserved names and another for claims. This plan was shared with the RySG via a letter<https://community.icann.org/display/IIPIRT/Documentation?preview=/56136698/7...>. While RySG has not responded formally, we received a reply from the vice-chair to let us know that there had not been objections voiced to our proposed plan. He also asked the registries to reach out to us individually with their questions and suggestions. As a result, we had additional opportunity to discuss the implementation and further develop it to make it easier to implement with less confusion. Our updated plan calls for an update to the existing reserved name list which avoids duplication of names and potential confusion on which names qualify for the exceptional procedure for registration. This approach has been well received by the IRT. You can view a summary of how these lists will be affected by this policy here<https://community.icann.org/display/IIPIRT/Documentation?preview=/56136698/7...>. Currently, the final draft is under review by IRT and we plan to move toward publication with the support of the IRT. While, no IRT session has been scheduled at ICANN60, we may be gathering to take advantage being able to meet in-person. The challenge with this policy implementation is that of scope confusion and we appreciate the close working relationship with the IRT. It’s our aim to keep us together on the same page throughout this implementation. The implementation process also includes collaboration with the IRT such as the creation and release of the INGO Claims system specification. At the moment, I have no request to the GNSO Council. While small in number, the IRT has been responsive and engaged. One good news is that Mr. Dennis Tanaka from Verisign has just joined us as an IRT member. He has been tracking our work having taken over from Chuck Gomes. Please express your appreciation for Mr. Tanaka’s contribution when you get a chance. You’ll note that I will refer to him as Mr. Tanaka to avoid confusion with me. Thank you for the opportunity to brief the council and please don’t hesitate to contact me or the IRT for anything further. I look forward to seeing you all at Abu Dhabi. Safe travel. — Kind Regards, Dennis S.
