Thank you. Kind regards, Terri Agnew Adobe Chat Transcript 04 June 2015 Terri Agnew:Dear all, welcome to the SCI call on the 4th June 2015 Lori Schulman:Where is the mute symbol? Terri Agnew:Lori your mic isn't active Lori Schulman:good. I have a bad habit of not muting. Amr Elsadr:I can hear you Anne. Terri Agnew:Lost audio, one moment rejoining Lori Schulman:Am I still disqualified? Are there ever exceptions? Wolf-Ulrich Knoben:is it the wish of anybody (eg council) that the resubmitted motion should benefit from the rule? Rudi Vansnick:quid if motion content/context is changed ? Amr Elsadr:http://forum.icann.org/lists/gnso-improvem-impl-sc/msg01201.html Wolf-Ulrich Knoben:sorry Anne, I overread it. It's now clear, thanks Amr Elsadr:This is the language Mary suggested adding to 3.3.2: "Resubmitted motions made pursuant to Section 4.3.3 of these Operating Procedures after the Submission Deadline must meet these requirements in addition to those detailed in Section 4.3.3 in order to be eligible for consideration by the GNSO Council under this Section 3.3.2." Rudi Vansnick:what's the feeling of the councils in this ? in favor ? Avri Doria:i think clarity was the issue. and the fact that some SCI members were unhappy with the way our last recommendation had left it. most were ok with it. Avri Doria:put after it haad been poked at enough and after the SCI asked the council to please make this an issue we could work on, we did. Mary Wong:Yes, per what Amr is saying - first question is whether 10-day waiver rule can/should apply to resubmitted motions Rudi Vansnick:if the 10-day waiver is applied, a resubmitted motion could indefinitely be resubmitted ? Wolf-Ulrich Knoben:@Mary, I thought that is the wish, so it should happen?? Rudi Vansnick:thanks Mary Mary Wong:@Anne, that works too - Chair's call :) Amr Elsadr:@Rudi: I don't think the 10-day waiver rule affects how many times a motion may be resubmitted. Julie Hedlund:@Amr and Rudi: I think whether a motion can be resubmitted is governed by the rules in 4.3.3. Amr Elsadr:@Anne: Correct. Amr Elsadr:Thanks Julie. Mary Wong:Yes, a fresh start Amr Elsadr:For some reason, I seem to be the only one who thinks we did actually talk a great deal about this. :) Avri Doria:Amr, you did talk about it a lot. But there weren't any great discussions. Rudi Vansnick:@Mary: +1 Avri Doria:thee were one or two people who kept bringing it up , but the discussion never stuck. Amr Elsadr:Greg engaged in this discussion quite a bit. Discussions took place both on-list and on calls, if I recall correctly. Mary Wong:@Amr, that's right - there was discussion but people seemed to have different ideas about what the agreed conclusion was. Amr Elsadr:@Anne: I'm sorry, could you clarify your concern again. Not sure I got it. Rudi Vansnick:perhaps we are now in a state where we need to finalize the direction Avri Doria:i'm ambivalent on this issue. Wolf-Ulrich Knoben:staff should draft Avri Doria:i dont mind allowing them to draft, i am not sure about asking them to draft. Lori Schulman:There is no harm in starting drafting. We are not approving anything. Julie Hedlund:@Anne: That is correct. The next meeting is in Buenos Aires. Lori Schulman:I agree with Mary's point that a draft would be a starting point only and a good thing to react o. Lori Schulman:yes. agree. Julie Hedlund:@Anne: It is the 20th early in the morning. Mary Wong:The usual "happy" hour :) Rudi Vansnick:at 7am ? ;-) Amr Elsadr:@Mary: Happy hour isn't supposed to be all about coffee!! Wolf-Ulrich Knoben:Saturday 7:45 Julie Hedlund:@Wolf-Ulright I think that's correct. Wolf-Ulrich Knoben:GNSO starts at 9:00 Amr Elsadr:Am I not getting through? Terri Agnew:@Amr your audio is cutting out Amr Elsadr:The way I see it, both the request and the explanation should be provided. Mary Wong:@Amr, staff will send you something to review before sending to the list Amr Elsadr:@Mary: I'll dig up what I came up with and fwd it to you as well. Mary Wong:Gerat, thanks! Amr Elsadr:BTW..., I won't be in BA, but will participate in the SCI meeting remotely. Mary Wong:@Amr, so it's confirmed you can't come? :( Amr Elsadr:Have personal stuff I need to sort out at that time. Sorry I won't be there. Rudi Vansnick:thanks Anne for chairing this meeting Mary Wong:Sorry we won't see you Julie Hedlund:@Anne: Mary and I are drafting some slides. Julie Hedlund:We will send them to you to review. Amr Elsadr:Thanks Anne and all. Bye. Wolf-Ulrich Knoben:Thanks Anne and bye to all Anne Aikman-Scalese - IPC member:Thank you.

Adopted SCI Review Requests from GNSO Council Meeting 16 April
by Julie Hedlund April 23, 2015

April 23, 2015

Dear SCI members, As Avri Doria has previously reported, she submitted to the GNSO Council in March two SCI review requests (attached). These were discussed during the Council meeting on 19 March, but action on them was deferred to the GNSO Council meeting on 16 April. For reference, here is the link to the transcript from the 19 March meeting: http://gnso.icann.org/en/meetings/transcript-council-19mar15-en.pdf. The two requests were placed on the Consent Agenda for today's GNSO Council meeting as follows: (See the agenda at http://gnso.icann.org/en/meetings/agenda-council-16apr15-en.htm.) "Item 3: Consent agenda (5 mins): 3.1 Approval to refer two matters <http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/drafts> (first submitted to the Council on 5 March 2015) to the GNSO's Standing Committee for Improvements Implementation (SCI). The first <https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocouncilmeetings/Motions+16+April+20 15> concerning GNSO Council practices for proposing, seconding and amendment of motions and the second <https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocouncilmeetings/Motions+16+April+20 15> on clarifying the Operating Procedures regarding the waiver and resubmission of motions." As there were no requests to have these items removed from the consent agenda, the items proceeded to a vote and were adopted. See the resolutions at: http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions. If you wish to review the transcript of today's Council meeting it will be posted at: http://gnso.icann.org/en/group-activities/calendar#apr. The MP3 is available at: http://audio.icann.org/gnso/gnso-council-16apr15-en.mp3. For reference concerning the Consent Agenda procedures, the relevant section from the GNSO Operating Procedures is included below. Best regards, Julie Julie Hedlund, Policy Director --------Excerpt from the GNSO Council Operating Procedures---------- 4.9 Consent Agenda When preparing the meeting agenda, the Council Chair in consultation with the Council Vice-Chairs determines whether an item belongs on the consent agenda. All items that are subject to a different voting threshold than a simple majority vote (see ICANN Bylaws, Article X, section 3-9) or are subject to absentee voting (see section 4.4 Absentee Voting) are not eligible for inclusion in the consent agenda. A numbered list of consent items is included as part of the meeting agenda. The list and supporting documents are included in the Council agenda in sufficient time to be read by all Council members prior to the meeting in accordance with section 3.3 Notice of Meetings of these Operating Procedures. At the beginning of the meeting, the Chair asks members what items they wish to have removed from the consent agenda and discussed individually. If any Council member requests that an item be removed from the consent agenda, it must be removed. Council members may request that an item be removed for any reason. They may wish, for example, to discuss the item, to query the item, or to register a vote against the item. If an item is removed from the consent agenda, it is added to the meeting agenda for that meeting, unless the Council Chair in consultation with the Council Vice-Chairs determines differently. When there are no more items to be removed, the Chair reads out the number of the remaining consent items. Then the Chair calls for a vote. When preparing the minutes, the full text of (or links to) the resolutions, reports or recommendations that were adopted as part of the consent agenda are included. In addition the minutes should include a statement regarding the composition/threshold that approved the consent agenda.

FW: GNSO Council Resolutions 16 April 2015
by Glen de Saint Géry April 16, 2015

April 16, 2015

FYI Dear Councillors, Please find the resolutions passed by the GNSO Council in its meeting on Thursday, 16 April 2015. These are also published on page: http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions Consent Agenda 1. Adoption of the Standing Committee on Improvement Implementation (SCI) Review Request Concerning Seconding and Amendments WHEREAS: 1. The SCI submitted to the GNSO Council on 05 March 2015 a Review Request that noted the following issue: a. Although there is currently a rule regarding the deadline for timely submission of motions for voting by the GNSO Council (see Section 3.3 of the Operating Procedures), there is none regarding: (i) whether, how and by whom a properly submitted motion is to be seconded, and (ii) treatment of proposed amendments to such motions as either "friendly" or "unfriendly". b. These have been supported by Council practice to date as opposed to operating procedural rules. RESOLVED: 1. The GNSO Council requests that the SCI codifies the existing customary practices of the GNSO Council (as described above). 2. If the SCI believes that the current practices are inappropriate, the SCI should convey its reasons for such belief to the Council and develop new processes to govern the seconding of motions and amendments to motions. 3. The GNSO Council suggests that in carrying out this task the SCI consult past GNSO Chairs and Councilors as well as commonly accepted guides and practices (such as Robert's Rules of Order) and other ICANN bodies (such as the Board and other SO/ACs). Consent Agenda 2. Adoption of the Standing Committee on Improvement Implementation (SCI) Review Request Concerning Overlap of Waiver and Resubmission WHEREAS: 1. The SCI submitted to the GNSO Council on 05 March 2015 a Review Request that noted the following issue: a. The latest version of the Procedures incorporates approved new procedures recommended by the SCI relating to the Council's ability to: (i) waive the general rule of a 10-day deadline for the submission of motions for voting (Section 3.3.2), and (ii) permit a motion that has been voted on but not adopted to be resubmitted for reconsideration (Section 4.3.3). 2. The Council's original request that the SCI consider these two situations did not explicitly ask that the SCI consider also the possible interplay between them (e.g. if a resubmitted motion is sent to the Council after the 10-day deadline applicable to the next scheduled Council meeting). 3. Although the SCI discussed this issue, it did not reach consensus on whether and how to address the potential problem. RESOLVED: 1. The GNSO Council requests the SCI to consider whether or not there is a need to include a further rule (possibly as an additional paragraph under the new Section 3.3.2) that specifically addresses the possible interplay between the new rules applicable to waiver of the 10-day motion deadline and resubmission of a motion. 3. Amendment to the charter for the IGO-INGO access to Curative Rights Protection Mechanisms PDP Working Group. WHEREAS: 1. On 5 June 2014 the GNSO Council approved<http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions#201406> the initiation of a Policy Development Process (PDP) to explore whether amendments to existing curative rights mechanisms (such as the Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) and the Uniform Rapid Suspension (URS) procedure) or the creation of a separate, narrowly tailored dispute resolution mechanism will be necessary to address the needs of International Governmental Organizations (IGO) and International Non-Governmental Organizations (INGO) in protecting their names and acronyms at the second level in generic top-level domains (gTLD); 2. On 25 June 2014 the GNSO Council chartered<http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions#201406> the IGO-INGO Access to Curative Rights Protection Mechanisms Working Group to begin work on the PDP; 3. The Charter<http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/igo-ingo-crp-access-charter-24jun14-en.pdf> for the Working Group contemplates that in relation to IGOs the Working Group is to use the IGO List<https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/48347918/GAC%20List%20of%2…> provided to ICANN by the Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) in March 2013, which is based on the eligibility criteria<http://www.iana.org/domains/int/policy> for an IGO to register a domain name in the .int gTLD, and which was the basis upon which the PDP Working Group on the Protection of International Organization Identifiers in All gTLDs made their consensus recommendations in November 2013; 4. After analyzing the historical documents, legal texts and research related to the issue of an IGO's standing to file a complaint under the UDRP and URS, the Working Group has reached a preliminary conclusion that a more appropriate basis for standing under any applicable curative rights dispute resolution process may be the legal protections for IGO names and acronyms that are conferred by Article 6ter of the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property; 5. This preliminary conclusion is supported by the May 2002 recommendation<https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/48347918/WIPO%20SCT%202002…> of the World Intellectual Property Organization's Standing Committee for Trademarks, Industrial Designs and Geographical Indications as well as the December 2011 open letter<https://www.icann.org/en/news/correspondence/igo-counsels-to-beckstrom-et-a…> sent to ICANN by legal counsel of twenty-eight IGOs; and 6. The Working Group has requested that the GNSO Council approve an amendment to the Working Group Charter that will include the flexibility to consider all appropriate eligibility options. RESOLVED: 1. The GNSO Council approves the request from the Working Group to amend its Charter, as follows: Where, under "Mission and Scope", the current Charter reads: "For purposes of this PDP, the scope of IGO and INGO identifiers is to be limited to those identifiers previously listed by the GNSO's PDP WG on the Protection of International Organization Identifiers in All gTLDs as protected by their consensus recommendations (designated by that WG as Scope 1 and Scope 2 identifiers, and listed in Annex 2 of the Final Issue Report)." It is hereby amended to read: "For purposes of this PDP, the WG shall take into account any criteria for IGO or INGO protection that may be appropriate, including any that may have been developed previously, such as the list of IGO and INGO identifiers that was used by the GNSO's prior PDP WG on the Protection of International Organization Identifiers in All gTLDs as the basis for their consensus recommendations and the GAC list of IGOs as provided to ICANN in March 2013." 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
