Notes and Action Items | SCCI Meeting | Wednesday, 30 April 2025
by Saewon Lee May 12, 2025

May 12, 2025

Dear All, Please see the following action items and high-level notes from SCCI Meeting #6<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/x/AoBnC> on 30 April 2025. Kind regards, Saewon Notes, Key Outcomes, and Action Items from Meeting #6 – Wednesday, 30 April at 12:00 UTC [KEY OUTCOMES] 1. Various agreements to capture a clear message (educational material) within the SCCI report that presents a well-defined comparison metrics among processes (PDP, EPDP, GGP, etc.): 1) Why EPDP should be chosen over PDP; 2) No problem to solve at this time for the comprehensive target issue of GGP, but GGP needs to be explained clearly and why the scope has to be limited; 3) GGP timeline expectations and role expectations. 2. To Continue with GGP Analysis 3 in the next meeting for further discussion [ACTION ITEMS] 1. No Meeting next week (7 May) 2. GNSO Support Staff to capture the key outcomes from this meeting to reflect into the recommendations report to the Council: Noted that a clearer definition of roles will be analyzed deeply when reviewing PDP 3.0 later in the year but this can also be captured for P&I report. 3. SCCI Members to continue reviewing the P&I PSR documents with the focus on GGP and GIP and the relevant discussion topics. The documents include Policy Status Report on the Policy & Implementation Recommendations [gnso.icann.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/polic…> and the Presentation to the GNSO Council: PSR on P&I [gnso.icann.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/polic…> 4. SCCI Team to coordinate with CIP-CCG rep. on informing each SG/C of the CIP-CCG decision to pause/delay the CIP Framework development work till further notice. [NOTES] * Retrieve slides from here: https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/x/AoBnC * See background documents for P&I PSR discussions here: https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/x/yDZbBg 1. Welcome and SOIs 2. Recap of Meeting #4 * Outlined key agreements from Meeting #4 in the slides (Slide 4)<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/GNSOSCCI/pages/141000706/…> * Announced the status of CIP Framework development: CIP-CCG has determined that changes need to be made to the Framework to provide greater clarity and offer guidance for implementation, which is anticipated for mid-June 2025. GNSO is advised to hold off on developing the Framework till further guidance. * Question on timeline impact from the CIP Framework pause announcement. Noted that the timeline is not impacted in the long-term, as the work will not be delayed overall. SCCI work on P&I PSR has been moving quite fast and CIP Part 2 work will not be affected. * No Meetings on 7 May (CP Summit) and 4 June (ICANN83 travels). Also, when P&I PSR deliberations are done, there will be a pause in meetings while Support Staff draft the report, including during ICANN83. 1. Continue Policy & Implementation Policy Status Report Review * Refer to these documents: Policy Status Report on the Policy & Implementation Recommendations [gnso.icann.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/polic…> Presentation to the GNSO Council: PSR on P&I [gnso.icann.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/polic…> * Noted that the processes for CPIF and IRT Guidelines are owned by GDS of ICANN org and will be updated by GDS to be later coordinated with and reviewed by SCCI. * PSR Analysis on EPDP: i. Agreement Thus Far * Outlined key agreement on EPDP from Meeting #4 in the slides (slide 11)<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/GNSOSCCI/pages/141000706/…> * Question whether some sort of metrics (diagram/comparison table) can be presented in the SCCI report (if it does not currently exist) – comparing PDP, EPDP, and other processes – which relates to selecting EPDP over PDP. Basically, a clear statement of that choice would really help the community. Noted that this suggestion will be considered when the report is being drafted so that the discussion points can be well-captured in the message. * Outcome: Agreement to capture a clear message within the SCCI report that presents a well-defined comparison metrics among processes. * PSR Analysis on GGP: * Outlined key analyses (Analysis 1, 2, and 3) on GGP in the slides (slides 13-19)<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/GNSOSCCI/pages/141000706/…> * For Analysis 1 on setting of the comprehensive target, referred to PSR p.15<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2025/correspondence/psr-t…> (Task 4) * Comment on GGP that with only 1 case to refer to, it is difficult to provide a concrete way forward, but due to its nature and how it works (incidental, response to Board, and narrow scope), the comprehensive nature/target (covering a broad array of topics) does not seem necessary. The “comprehensive” aspect should be referred to its impact rather than the scope of work. Additional comment that there needs clarity on what needs to be solved to figure out if GGP needs to be expanded (current example is not sufficient to determine whether the comprehensive target is a problem and GGP was effective). Comment that there is not enough example or sufficient set of data to determine the effectiveness of GGP or realize the problem to be solved. Ensuring better communication among the WG, Council, and org may have helped align expectations on the GGP’s role and goals. Noted that with only 1 case to examine, which was effective, there is actually no problem to solve at this time but that expectations should be aligned on the processes (GGP, GIP, etc.). * Outcome: Agreement that there is no problem to solve at this time for the comprehensive target issue for GGP, but a clear message should be drafted (educational material) to explain what GGP is and why the scope has to be limited. * For Analysis 2 on prolonged timeline, a comment was raised on the misalignment issue again where it could be solved through enhanced communication, describing the processes better. Noted that analyses from org (Staff) and community (public comments) should be clearly distinguished. The misaligned communication may result from the lack of role definition (or understanding the role of every party involved); For example, Staff’s role should be on defining the processes for facilitating discussions in the development of policy (rather than asserting a heavy hand) where the outcome may be framed in some manner. AI: Noted that a clearer definition of roles will be analyzed deeply when reviewing PDP 3.0 later in the year – also can be captured in the P&I recs report. * Question on what mechanism is currently in place for the communication between GNSO Council and ICANN org to enhance communication (in response to discussion question 2). Noted that there are various ways that the aforementioned parties could communicate; Written communication shared via Implementation Staff (Council-GDS) and/or an open line communication if Council needs more input from Staff (and vice-versa through writing or request a slot for discussion within the Council Meeting). * Outcome: Agreement on providing a clear message on timeline expectations and role expectations. * For Analysis 3 on encouraging more direct community involvement in the GGP, noted that sufficient involvement/representation existed for the previous GGP. Regarding the update to the initiation request, a suggestion was raised that perhaps more clarity on the “Initiation Request” (scope) may be needed. * Outcome: To Continue with GGP Analysis 3 in the next meeting for further discussion. 1. Next Steps * AI: NO meeting next week and SCCI to reconvene on 14 May * AI: SCCI Team to coordinate with CIP-CCG rep. on informing each SG/C of the CIP-CCG decision to pause/delay the CIP Framework development work till further notice. 1.

April 16, 2025

Dear All, Please see the following action items and high-level notes from SCCI Meeting #4<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/GNSOSCCI/pages/140115990/…> on 16 April, 2025.

Agreement that a clear message will be conveyed to the community on the rationalization of an EPDP; Selecting EPDP over a PDP and the criteria for the need/no need of an Issue Report. 2. Various agreements on enhanced preparatory activities for EPDP: No concerns on resolving the “Robust use of Charters” item as already addressed and complete; No further action necessary for “Identification and pre-collection of data” item as already addressed in the updated charter template<https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/procedures> (p.3); No concerns on “Subject Matter Experts (SME) input” item as already addressed in the updated charter template<https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/procedures> (p.7) but also as the current method is satisfactory. [ACTION ITEMS] 1. GNSO Support Staff to capture the key outcomes from this meeting to reflect into the recommendations report to the Council. 2. SCCI Members to continue reviewing the P&I PSR documents with the focus on GGP and the relevant discussion topics. The documents include Policy Status Report on the Policy & Implementation Recommendations [gnso.icann.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/polic…> and the Presentation to the GNSO Council: PSR on P&I [gnso.icann.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/polic…> 3.

[NOTES] * Retrieve slides from here: https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/x/FgBaC * See background documents for P&I PSR discussions here: https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/x/yDZbBg 1. Welcome and SOIs * N/A 1. Recap of Meeting #3 * While sharing the key outcomes and action items from Meeting #3, it was announced that meetings will be cancelled next week (23 April) and on 7 May. Noted that SCCI work is ahead of proposed schedule and these cancellations will not adversely affect the intended plan or progress of work. * Added that the review of CIP Criteria with SG/Cs will be extended for 2 weeks (due by 30 April) to discuss on 14 May. 1. Continue Policy & Implementation Policy Status Report Review * See relevant documents on P&I PSR: * Policy Status Report on the Policy & Implementation Recommendations [gnso.icann.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/polic…> * Presentation to the GNSO Council: PSR on P&I [gnso.icann.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/polic…> * EPDP Manual: https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/annex-4-e… [gnso.icann.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/…> * GGP Manual: https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/annex-5-g… * PSR Analysis on EPDP: * Agreement Thus Far * Outcome: Agreement that the message will be conveyed clearly to the community on the rationalization of an EPDP; why there is no need for an Issue Report (selecting EPDP over PDP) and what is the criteria for the choice being made. More details can be found on the “Applicability” for an EPDP in Section 1 of the EPDP Manual<-%09https:/gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/annex-4-epdp-manual-19sep24-en.pdf>. Ultimately, it will be at the discretion of the GNSO Council. * Continue Discussion: Enhanced preparatory activities for EPDP including the chartering and scoping * Reminded the SCCI Team that all suggestions from PSR do not have to be taken, considering the current developments, usefulness, applicability, etc. * Outcome: “Robust use of charters” seems to suggest that more should be done to ensure adherence to charters - There were no concerns from the SCCI Team on resolving this issue as complete/already addressed. * Outcome: “Identification and pre-collection of data” item addressed in the updated charter template<https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/procedures> (p.3) - no further action necessary. * Noted that the “Subject Matter Experts (SME) input” item is addressed in the updated charter template<https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/procedures> (p.7) as there is a portion related to expert contributors under the ‘Membership Criteria’ section. * Question on whether there is a process in place for the recruiting of a SME and if SCCI needs to review those processes. Noted that there is no specific procedure in place other than what is currently guided in the charter where it also stipulates: “Instruction for Charter Drafting Team Please specify if the GNSO Council wishes to run an open call for expert contributors in order to recruit individuals who have expertise, knowledge, and/or perspective that otherwise would not be present in the PDP." It is more on a need basis and can be brought to the GNSO Council per request, which helps keep it flexible and nimble; There are variety of ways to allow for flexibility and those needs to be met: WG member composition, supplemental expertise for whenever necessary. For instance, there were legal advice requested for EPDP P1 on Temp. Spec and relevant expertise (Tech Ops.) for EPDP-IDNs and those needs were met. Agreed to not be too prescriptive. * Outcome: No concerns on “Subject Matter Experts (SME) input” item as already addressed in the updated charter template<https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/procedures> (p.7) but also as the current method is satisfactory. * PSR Analysis on GGP * Suggestion from Leadership for SCCI Team to review the discussion topics again to consider issues such as GGP expectations. Noted that GGP is utilized for clarification of policy recommendations purposes, and if seldomly used, it may also mean that the PDP outputs do not need much clarification – which is positive. For instance, the GGP on ASP was initiated for clarification purposes as IRT prepares for the Next Round, which is a rare case. The use case of Small Teams/Small Teams Plus was brought up from their being effective, agile, and task focused, but they may have limitations in their use (Councilors focused, non-Board adoptions, etc.). These issues will be picked up and discussed at the next meeting. * AI: SCCI Members to review/consider discussion topics on GGP (maybe with SG/Cs also). 1. Next Steps * AI: NO meeting next week and SCCI to reconvene on 30 April. * AI: CIP Criteria review extended for 2 weeks (by 30 April) and SG/C input requested. 1. AOB

by Ajith Francis April 15, 2025

April 15, 2025

Dear SCCI Leadership and Colleagues, I hope this email finds you well. Could I kindly ask for an extension to provide Stakeholder Group comments on the CIP Criteria? This would very much help me, and potentially other representatives, to get balanced and valuable input on the criteria. Looking forward to hearing from you. Best, Ajith

Notes and Action Items | SCCI Meeting | Wednesday, 09 April 2025
by Saewon Lee April 9, 2025

April 9, 2025

Dear All, Please see the following action items and high-level notes from the SCCI Meeting #3<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/GNSOSCCI/pages/140115970/…> on 09 April 2025. Kind regards, Saewon Notes and Action Items from SCCI Meeting #3<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/GNSOSCCI/pages/140115970/…> on Wednesday, 09 April 2025. [KEY OUTCOMES] 1. No need to change the names of PDP/EPDP but to add a diagram to the EPDP Process Manual<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/annex-4-e…> to show the difference between a PDP and an EPDP while also setting expectations by including a draft timeline in the WG charter. 2. Develop talking points for broader community that there is not much difference between a PDP and an EPDP. 3. No need to take further action on “additional guidelines necessary to clarify when policy recommendations are intended to impact pre-existing policies and contract requirements” as this element has already been updated in the WG charter template. This has also been captured within the newly initiated PDP (e.g, LD PDP WG Charter<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2025/draft/latin-script-d…>). 4. Eliminate the requirement for Early Input Process when appropriate (optional) and to refine the recommendation text together as a Team at a later date prior to submitting the report to Council. 5. Ensure that WGs and WG leadership are aware of different working practices available to improve working practices where the timeline or work might benefit from those practices. 6. Ensure that WGSA includes questions about “lessons learned” in the future. [ACTION ITEMS] 1. GNSO Support Staff to capture the key outcomes from this meeting to reflect into the recommendations report to the Council. 2. SCCI Members to continue reviewing the P&I PSR documents, including the Policy Status Report on the Policy & Implementation Recommendations [gnso.icann.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/polic…> and the Presentation to the GNSO Council: PSR on P&I [gnso.icann.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/polic…>) 3. SCCI Members to continue reviewing the Criteria as proposed by the CCOICI[docs.google.com]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/docs.google.com/document/d/1LrPzxmKxCq3B…> with respective SG/Cs (by 16 April) and integrate any input as necessary to provisionally finalize the document. 4. Leadership/Staff to present the assignment forms to the GNSO Council for its confirmation during the April Council Meeting while providing a comprehensive overview of SCCI and its upcoming work. [NOTES] - See Slides here: https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/GNSOSCCI/pages/140115970/… 1. Welcome & SOIs · N/A 1. Recap of Meeting #2 * The input from SCCI Members on Criteria as proposed by the CCOICI[docs.google.com]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/docs.google.com/document/d/1LrPzxmKxCq3B…> will be incorporated by 16 April. 1. Overview of Policy & Implementation Policy Status Report * PSR Analysis on EPDP * See relevant documents on P&I PSR: Policy Status Report on the Policy & Implementation Recommendations [gnso.icann.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/polic…> Presentation to the GNSO Council: PSR on P&I [gnso.icann.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/polic…> EPDP Process Manual: https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/annex-4-e… * Noted that only EPDP and GGP are captured in the Bylaws (NOT GIP) as EPDP and GGP require Board action while GIP is under Council remit only. It was also noted that GIP has not been used to date. If SCCI decided to change elements within GIP, it would be much easier. * Question was raised whether there is value in clarifying the role of the community in the choice of PDP vs. EPDP when developing policy (i.e., defining when EPDP is applicable) – maybe it is of value to note the important perspectives (why an issue report is needed) rather than focusing on the lengthiness of the process. Noted that there is value in choosing between the two mechanisms and that this would actually be determined by the GNSO Council. Describing the difference between the two mechanisms would also benefit the community but agreement that there is no need to change the names of these mechanisms. * EPDP-IDNs was brought up as an example for being relatively fast. Clarification on the Issue Report and Early Input Process stages when selecting the EPDPs over PDPs: For EPDP-IDNs, there was an Early Input Process but NOT the Issue Report stage, which ultimately differentiates EPDP to a PDP; EPDPs only eliminate the “Issue Report” stage. * Multiple suggestions to provide a diagram within the EPDP Process Manual<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/annex-4-e…> and to go with all three (3) possible routes listed in slide 13<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/GNSOSCCI/pages/140115970/…>. *Outcomes: 1) No need to change the names PDP/EPDP; 2) Develop talking points for broader community that there is not much difference between a PDP and an EPDP; 3) Add a diagram to the EPDP Process Manual to show the difference between a PDP and an EPDP; and 4) Set expectations by including a draft timeline in the WG charter. * Question on whether there is a need to implement (fix) the impact on pre-existing policies element, when this has already been captured in the Latin Script Diacritics (LD) PDP WG Charter. Agreed that this problem has been fixed and no further action needed but needs to be presented to the GNSO Council for future consideration. * Question on charter templates whether these elements are also captured in templates, if any. Noted that this element has been added to the charter template (see “GNSO Work Product Templates: Working Group Charter” section in the GNSO procedures page<https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/procedures>). *Outcomes: No need to take further action on “additional guidelines necessary to clarify when policy recommendations are intended to impact pre-existing policies and contract requirements” as this element has already been updated in the WG charter template. This has also been captured within newly initiated PDPs (e.g, LD PDP WG Charter<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2025/draft/latin-script-d…>). * Noted that an Early Input Process may be redundant for PDPs, EPDPs, and GGPs, especially if SG/Cs have already sent their representative members to the PDP WGs (cf. representative membership model vs. open model). * Question on Early Input Process and its impact on the Project Plan (e.g., LD PDP WG announcing the Early Input as voluntary). In theory, the Early Input Process may have been created to affect the Project Plan but in practice (or in the case of LD PDP WG), it does not affect the Project Plan. * Agreement to make Early Input Process “optional” (eliminating the requirement for early input when appropriate) as currently it is a mandatory process – need to consider the WG model (concrete wording for a later time). To review the recommendation text at a later date together. *Outcomes: Eliminate the requirement for Early Input Process when appropriate (optional) and to refine the recommendation text together as a Team at a later date. * Clarified that for “lessons learned”, the WGSA could include questions from “lessons learned”. *Outcomes: 1) Ensure that WGs and WG leadership are aware of different working practices available to improve working practices where the timeline or work might benefit from those practices; 2) Ensure that WGSA includes questions about “lessons learned” in the future. * Question raised on SCCI’s current work on P&I PSR and it was noted that the SCCI Team is currently examining the analysis and suggestions from the P&I PSR in order to discuss which path should be recommended to the GNSO Council for the future. 1. Next Steps * Reminder again for the SCCI members to review the Criteria as proposed by the CCOICI[docs.google.com]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/docs.google.com/document/d/1LrPzxmKxCq3B…> with respective SG/Cs (by 16 April) and integrate any input as necessary to provisionally finalize the document. * SCCI Members to continue reviewing the P&I PSR documents, including the Policy Status Report on the Policy & Implementation Recommendations [gnso.icann.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/polic…> and the Presentation to the GNSO Council: PSR on P&I [gnso.icann.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/polic…>) 1.
