Many thanks Mary.

This is very helpful. This process is about protecting names and identifiers and we should ensure that these are correctly spelled out in communications and intended outcomes.

Hello Stephane, thank you for your note and suggestions. If it helps, the title that was used for the public comment proceeding was intended to make the overall subject title shorter and simpler for purposes of encouraging input. It was not intended to be, and will not be, the actual title of the formal Consensus Policy. Nevertheless, in view of the possibility of confusion that you pointed out, we will change the title as you suggested. Thanks again for noting this potential problem.
 
Cheers
Mary

Dear Mary, dear Berry,
Dear Working Group members,

Many thanks for your update.

I have just noted that the title of the Consensus Policy that has been made accessible on-line for comments reads curiously and does not reflect the title of the final Recommendations Report submitted to the GNSO Council (i.e. Final Report on the Protections for Certain Red Cross and Red Crescent Names in All Generic Top-Level Domains Policy Amendment Process).

The title of the document placed on-line for comments is inadequate and confusing and does not reflect the efforts made by ICANN Staff and WG members to make use of terminology and names that conform to the Statutes, Regulations and practice of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. We would recommend that the title of the proposed Consensus Policy (as accessible on line) be revised to refer to

"Proposed consensus policy concerning the names of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and of its respective international and national components"; or

"Proposed consensus policy concerning the Protections for Certain Red Cross and Red Crescent Names in All Generic Top-Level Domains".

The terms / names "Red Cross International Movement" or "Red Cross National Societies" are not correct.

Many thanks for your kind assistance and best regards to all,

Stéphane

Dear Thomas and Working Group members,
 
As noted in the message below to the GNSO Council, the consensus recommendations from this PDP Working Group are proceeding toward Board consideration, based on the GNSO Council’s approval in September 2018 and after the close of this current public comment proceeding. The current timeline should allow the topic to be placed on the Board’s agenda sometime in early 2019.
 
Thank you all again for all the hard work and collaboration on this reconvened PDP. Staff will continue to keep you informed of progress on the matter.
 
Thanks and cheers
Berry and Mary

Dear Councilors,
 
This note is to inform you that, in accordance with the transparency requirements of the ICANN Bylaws (Article 3, Section 3.6), a public comment period has just been opened for the final recommendations from the reconvened PDP on Red Cross names: https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2018-11-21-en [icann.org]. You will recall that the GNSO Council approved all the final PDP recommendations at its meeting in September 2018. This public comment proceeding is intended to provide a reasonable opportunity for public input on the proposed policy prior to Board action on the matter. In addition, the Bylaws permit the GAC to provide timely advice at this stage should there be any public policy concerns.
 
Staff currently anticipates that the Board consideration of the PDP recommendations can therefore take place in early 2019, following the close of the public comment period. At that time, staff will forward the PDP Final Report, the GNSO Council’s Recommendations Report (approved by the GNSO Council in October 2018) and any relevant public input to the Board. Under the ICANN Bylaws, the Board is also obliged to take into account any timely GAC advice that may be published.
 
Staff will continue to keep you informed of the status of this matter. Thank you.
 
Cheers
Mary
