Thanks to all the PPSAI WG members whose participation over a period of more than two years (!) made this possible. And a special thanks to Mary, as well as to Marika and the other ICANN staff, for their hard work and wise counsel which were absolutely essential to achieving the consensus reflected in yesterday’s Council action. This is a milestone, not the finish line, but still a good moment to savor. Thanks again. Steve Metalitz From: gnso-ppsai-pdp-wg-bounces@icann.org [mailto:gnso-ppsai-pdp-wg-bounces@icann.org] On Behalf Of Mary Wong Sent: Friday, January 22, 2016 3:02 AM To: 'Gnso-ppsai-pdp-wg@icann.org' Subject: Re: [Gnso-ppsai-pdp-wg] Resolutions passed at the GNSO Council meeting on 21 January 2016 Thank you all, and especially the chairs – Don, Graeme and Steve – for getting us here such that the Council was able to vote unanimously to approve all of the group’s Full Consensus recommendations! In accordance with the ICANN Bylaws, the next step will be the preparation by staff of a Recommendations Report from the Council to the Board. Please note also that the proposed policies will be posted for public comment prior to Board action, since these PDP recommendations constitute "policies that are being considered by the Board for adoption that substantially affect the operation of the Internet or third parties, including the imposition of any fees or charges” (per Section 6 of the ICANN Bylaws). We will keep the WG updated on the timing and outcome of each subsequent notice and Board action.

The GNSO Council unanimously adopted the Final Report of the Privacy and Proxy Services Accreditation Issues (PPSAI) Policy Development Process (PDP) Working Group Voting results<http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/voting-ppsai-final-21jan16-en.pdf> Whereas: 1. On 31 October 2013, the GNSO Council chartered a Working Group for a Policy Development Process (PDP) on Privacy and Proxy Services Accreditation Issues (PPSAI) [see http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions#201310<http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions#201310>] and tasked the Working Group to develop policy recommendations to guide ICANN’s implementation of an accreditation program for privacy and proxy service providers; 2. This PDP has followed the prescribed PDP steps as stated in the Bylaws, resulting in a Final Report delivered to the GNSO Council on 7 December 2015 (see http://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/raa/ppsai-final-07dec15-en.pdf<http://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/raa/ppsai-final-07dec15-en.pdf>); 3. The PPSAI PDP Working Group has reached Full Consensus (as described in the GNSO Working Group Guidelines) on all the recommendations in the Final Report; and 4. The GNSO Council has reviewed and discussed these recommendations. Resolved: 1. The GNSO Council adopts, and recommends that the ICANN Board of Directors adopt, all the PPSAI PDP Working Group’s final recommendations in the Final Report (see http://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/raa/ppsai-final-07dec15-en.pdf<http://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/raa/ppsai-final-07dec15-en.pdf>). 2. Should the PDP recommendations be adopted by the ICANN Board, the GNSO Council directs ICANN staff to convene a Privacy and Proxy Services Accreditation Implementation Review Team. The Implementation Review Team will be tasked with assisting ICANN staff in developing the implementation details for the PDP recommendations, evaluating the proposed implementation of the recommendations as approved by the Board, and working with ICANN staff to ensure that the resultant implementation conforms to the intent of the approved recommendations. The Implementation Review Team shall operate in accordance with the Implementation Review Team Principles and Guidance approved by the GNSO Council in June 2015. 3. The GNSO Council requests that, following the adoption by the ICANN Board of the PDP recommendations, ICANN staff issue a call for volunteers for the Implementation Review Team, to be circulated at a minimum to the members of PPSAI PDP Working Group. The GNSO Council unanimously approved the charter for the policy development process (PDP) working group on New gTLD Subsequent Procedures Voting results<http://ccnso.icann.org/council/voting-new-gtld-subsequent-procedures-21jan16...> WHEREAS: 1. The GNSO Council has resolved http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions#201512<http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions#201512> to undertake a GNSO policy development process (PDP) to consider and analyze issues discussed in the Final Issue Report on New gTLD Subsequent Procedures to determine whether changes or adjustments to the existing policy recommendations in the Final Report on the Introduction of New Generic Top-Level Domains are needed; and, 2. 2. The GNSO Council has reviewed the draft Working Group Charter embedded in Annex A to the Final Issue Report which was delivered to the GNSO Council on 4 December 2015 and agreed to amend the draft charter to address concerns of potential overlap or duplication with an anticipated PDP on Rights Protection Mechanisms. The final version is available here: http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/new-gtld-subsequent-procedures-charter-12jan16-en.pdf<http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/new-gtld-subsequent-procedures-charter-12jan16-en.pdf>. RESOLVED: 1. The GNSO Council approves the Charter and appoints Paul McGrady as the GNSO Council liaison to the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP Working Group (WG); 2. The GNSO Council directs ICANN staff to issue a call for volunteers for the PDP WG no later than seven days after the approval of this motion; and 3. Until such time as the WG selects a chair for the WG and that chair is confirmed by the GNSO Council, the GNSO Council liaison to the WG shall serve as the interim chair. 4. Issues relating to RPMs not addressed by the anticipated RPM PDP shall be addressed by this PDP. Please let us know if you have any questions. Thank you.
