Jorge My rationale, which may be flawed, is that the guidebook was the “bible” for the current round.

Hi Michele
No problem with that. I just felt that the GNSO principles and recs are at a similar level of abstraction as the 2007 GAC advice and that, therefore, a mutual mapping could make sense (without prejudice to mapping both? docs to the AGB later on).

Jorge / Jeff
Wouldn’t mapping the advice to the guidebook itself make more sense?
Or am I missing something? (which is quite likely)
Regards
Michele

Dear Jeff
Thank you very much for your prompt reaction.
As to the reviews, I infer drom your answer that we may need to revisit certain principles and recommendations in light of the results of the ongoing reports.
As to the highlighting of relevant GAC advice I would be happy to do so (as far as time permits and in conjunction with other GAC participants).
In addition, I feel it would be very practical if staff could provide the group with a mapping of the GNSO principles with the relevant GAC advice (especially the 2007 advice). This would allow us all to have a convenient and simple reference document in this regard.
Hope this is helpful
regards
Jorge

Thanks Jorge.
Julie - Can we make sure that the GAC Principles are included on the PDP site? I believe this is the link: https://archive.icann.org/en/topics/new-gtlds/gac-principles-regarding-new-g.....
The group's mandate includes taking into consideration the various reviews that are currently underway if and when they become available. For example, we have referred to the ICANN self-reviews at various times during our calls and are doing our best to coordinate with the CCT Review Team. As a PDP Working Group of the GNSO, we determined that in order to establish a baseline for our reviews and recommendations for subsequent procedures and therefore started with the 2007 GNSO New gTLD Final Report as the last "Consensus Policy" adopted on this subject matter. That said, it may help to review the GAC Principles at appropriate times when the subject matter covered by us addresses a topic that is also addressed by the GAC Principles.
In order to do that I would as you and the other GAC representatives in the group to point out the relevant principle(s) that applies when we address that specific topic. We will do our best to bring those principles up at the appropriate times, but it would be great for the GAC representatives in this group to help us in case we forget.
Thanks.

Dear all
May I kindly ask colleagues to point at the relevant sources (reviews of the first round, assessments etc.) taken into account when discussing the 2007 GNSO principles and recommendations?
In addition, I feel that, as important reviews are still ongoing, their results may well have an impact on the assessment of this 2007 document. How will this be factored in later on?
Finally, I would also like to kindly ask colleagues whether the 2007 GAC advice on new gTLDs will also be considered at this principle level, so as to factoring it in from the very beginning of this process.
Apologies in advance if I have missed any prior relevant explanation about these issues.
Regards and thanks

Discussion Notes/Actions: New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP WG Meeting, 04 April 2016
1. Discussion on response to Dr. Crocker (attached).
Action Item: Send the letter to the GNSO Council leadership via Paul McGrady, the GNSO Council liaison, after the meeting today. Once the Council leadership reviews and approves, it will be sent to Dr. Crocker and the Board.
2. Discussion regarding principles from 2007 Final Report (please reference the attached excerpt):
Decision making: Action Items: 1) Document in the notes actions to be taken at a next meeting (noting that a first reading is normally the result of discussion so may not be documentable ahead of time); 2) Keep a decision log on all decisions that have been made and the results.
Principle A Jeff Neuman: Will be addressed later as an overarching principle.
Principle B Alan Greenberg: Not sure this is needed anymore as it is moot.Vanda Scartezini: Could just state that TLDs can be in both ASCII and IDN formats. (General agreement in the discussion.)
Principle C Robert Burlingame (Pillsbury): Suggested text: "One of the reasons for introducing new top-level domains is that there is demand from potential applicants for new top-level domains in both ASCII and IDN formats. Furthermore, the introduction of new top-level domains has the potential to promote: competition in the provision of registry services; consumer choice; market differentiation; and geographical and service-provider diversity."
Principle D (Summary of discussion) - Make sure that the principles sync with the new Bylaws.
Principle E Jeff Neuman: Clarify that the capability criteria are operational and financial?Alan Greenberg: Leave as is for now, recognizing that we'll probably need to add sub-paragraphs to provide additional detail.
Principle F (Summary of discussion) - No action. Still applies.
Principle G Ayden Ferdeline: Why only the "applicant's" freedom of expression?Carlton Samuels: Say more about the string evaluation process?Greg Shatan: Put this into the recommendations, rather than principles?Kavouss Arasteh: Change the "protected" to "provided" in front of "internationally recognized".Steve Coates: Or change to: "that are recognized under international principles of law."Robin Gross: Objection to moving from principles to recommendations. Jeff Neuman: Should be there be a way or method in the recommendations to add things that are based on new circumstances or not anticipated? Steve Coates (Twitter): Consider implications to "rolling procedures."
Recommendation 1 Steve Coates (Twitter): Recommendation 1 should not be negotiable. Robert Burlingame (Pillsbury): I agree that "should" would be better than "must" in the Recommendations. Kurt Pritz: It is ok that a recommendation include the word "must." "Recommendation" means Policy Recommendations that were later approved by the ICANN Board. Jeff Neuman: In addition to high-level principles there were things we wanted to be sure were included ("must"). Alan Greenberg & Greg Shatan: They may start as recommendations, but once approved by the Board they are policy. Greg Shatan: The taxonomy may be out of date/pre-go-live set up. Jeff Neuman: Should we list these as policies? Kavouss Arasteh: If you change to "policy" that may solve a lot of issues. Be very careful not to use "must" if we don't mean "must" -- minimize the use of must. Kurt Pritz: Use "must" and "shall" in the definition adopted by ICANN (https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2119.txt).
Recommendation 2 Jeff Neuman: On this one there may be inherent questions -- what does "Reserve" mean? There was a subgroup in 2006-7 that worked on this definition, "what is a Reserved Name?" "Strings" here point to top-level domains. Move forward subject to definiting the terms?
Recommendation 3 Jeff Neuman: This was used to create some of the objection criteria for the 2012 round. This will be discussed in one of the tracks, although not necessarily a rights-protection mechanism since this refers to strings at the top level. Robin Gross: Freedom of Expression concerns were left out of the implemention of Recommendation 3 (which only focused on trademark protection).
Recommendation 4 Jeff Neuman: Would think this is non-contentious. Alan Greenberg: Change the nomenclature to "concepts" and then if there should be a taxonomy work through it later.
Recommendation 5 Jeff Neuman: Define "Reserved Word" and provide more context, as suggested by Kavouss.
Recommendation 6 Jeff Neuman: The group that deals with this work track should look at how this was defined. Work with it initially as a concept.
Recommendation 7 Jeff Neuman: I am not sure the evaluation looked at the purpose that the applicant set out, just whether a registry could run as a registry. We will probably come back to this. Alan Greenberg: I am not sure it makes any sense. Steve Coates: Agree on the language of "purpose" tied to "technical".Kavouss Arasteh: How is this demonstration made?Rubens Kuhl: Currently they demonstrate passing a pre-delegation test: https://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/pdt. Jeff Neuman: Not done during the application process. May need to consider if we decide to accredit registry providers whether we do think a demonstration needs to be approved, in track 1 (process) track 5 (technical criteria/demonstration).
Recommendation 8 Jeff Neuman: Never asked to demonstrate financial capabilities, but ICANN received statements and financial information. Rubens Kuhl: Only looked an financial with the angle of a commercial registry. We might choose to let financial be only a due diligence requirement for contract signing but not an application evaluation criteria. Jeff Neuman: Look at that in the relevant track.
Recommendation 9 Jeff Neuman: Look at the ICANN Implementation Report, but for this one gets some comments in from the actual evaluators. Robin Gross: Do better on recommendation 9. Too much was changed after the fact and it wasn't fair. Rudi Vansnick: Agreed. Kavouss Arasteh: To whom is this addressed? What is the relation to "objective and measurable criteria" and "pre-published application process? Reword or say what we mean. Jeff Neuman: Agree that we can word this better that there should be criteria set out in advance so applicants know how they will be measured. Alan Greenberg: There may well be things that are non-objective but we should try to put in these that are non-discriminatory. Kavouss Arasteh: Are we asking ICANN to do this?Rubens Kuhl: Add "non-discriminatory"Jeff Neuman: That is a good addition. Or "except as otherwise set forth here?" Greg Shatan: Or "Where possible"?
Recommendation 10 Jeff Neuman: This is one where there have been comments that there should be different base contracts? But the concept is that the applicant should know what contractual terms would apply to them. Reword that there is not only one base contract? We should talk about base contract(s) -- track 2 -- whether there should be a process to institute changes before a contract is signed. Steve Coates (Twitter): Could use improvement with additional clauses, and application of new clauses.
Recommendation 11 - Replaced with 20.
Recommendation 12 Jeff Neuman: We need to build in some what to have changes. Applicants need to know what dispute processes might be used against them. Robin Gross: GAC objections impact recommendation 12, not understanding what a government might object to.
