Item 2: Opening Remarks / Review of Projects & Action List (10 mins) Review focus areas and provide updates on specific key themes / topics Include review of Projects List<http://gnso.icann.org/meetings/projects-list.pdf> and Action List<https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocouncilmeetings/Action+Items>. Comments or questions arising.

Item 4: MOTION – Metrics and Reporting Working Group Charter (15 mins) The 2010 Registration Abuse Policies Working Group (RAPWG) identified the an issue relating to Uniformity of Reporting which it described as “need for more uniformity in the mechanisms to initiate, track, and analyze policy-violation reports.” The RAPWG recommended in its Final Report that “the GNSO and the larger ICANN community in general, create and support uniform [problem-] reporting [and report-tracking] processes.” The GNSO Council recommended the creation of an Issue Report<http://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/uofr-final-31mar13-en.pdf> to further research metrics and reporting needs with the aim of improving the policy development process. The report created by ICANN Staff outlined accomplishments regarding reporting and metrics by the Contractual Compliance function and it also reviewed other reporting sources that may be of relevance. The GNSO Council subsequently adopted a recommendation to form a non-PDP Working Group tasked with exploring opportunities for developing reporting and metrics processes and/or appropriate standardized methodologies that could better inform fact-based policy development and decision making. Here the Council vote on whether to approve the Charter of the Metrics and Reporting Working Group. 4.1 - Review the Motion 4.2 - Discussion 4.3 - Vote (voting threshold – simple majority vote of each house) Item 5: INPUT & DISCUSSION – Prospective improvements to the Policy Development Process (15 mins) The Council is committed to on-going enhancements to the methods of working of the Council and the work initiated and managed by the Council. The PDP process is a cornerstone of policy making within the GNSO and, as such, the work of the Council. The PDP outcomes and associated processes are the subject of focus and attention both within the GNSO and the broader ICANN Community. The Council has previously discussed a paper prepared by ICANN staff<http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/pdp-improvements-22aug13-en.pdf> on potential improvements to the PDP process. The discussion is now encapsulated in a table form which has been revised through various discussions at council meetings and on email lists. The document now also includes reference to the related recommendations of the ATRT2. Here the Council will aim to agree concrete next steps including the requirement to form a group to continue this work, particularly with a focus on items 3 & 5 in the table. 5.1 – Review of table of prospective PDP Improvements<http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/pdp-improvements-table-16jan14-en.pdf> (Marika Konings) 5.2 – Discussion 5.3 – Next steps Item 6: UPDATE – GAC Engagement – the work of the Joint GAC / GNSO Consultation Group (15 mins) Here the Council will receive an update and discuss any action going forward. 6.1 – Status update (Jonathan Robinson) 6.2 – Discussion 6.3 – Next steps Item 7: Update – Forthcoming review of the GNSO (15 mins) As part of a periodic review process that is built into the ICANN model, ICANN board initiated reviews of the GNSO (and the GNSO Council and related functions) are expected. In order to be informed and effectively prepared for this work, we have begun to engage with the body that commissions such reviews (the structural improvements committee) through its chair, Ray Plazk. The Council will track the planning work of the SIC and, where appropriate; provide relevant input to the process. We will also prepare to undertake a form of self-review in a similar format to that which we expect to arise out of the work of the SIC. A self-review will ensure that we are not only prepared for the board initiated work but also able to flag areas for potential improvement in as timely as possible a manner. 7.1 – Update (Jennifer Wolfe) 7.2 – Discussion 7.3 – Next steps Item 8: DISCUSSION – International Internet Governance Issues (15 mins) Discussions and activity relating to international Internet Governance issues are attracting a great deal of attention in ICANN and related groups. This item is on the agenda to provide an opportunity for discussion within the Council about how this impacts the role and work of the Council and mindful of the scope and remit of the Council, what action the Council should or could be taking. Item 9: UPDATE & DISCUSSION – Planning for Singapore (15 mins) Making the most out of the face-to-face meeting time available at the ICANN Meeting in Buenos Aires will take planning. GNSO Council Vice Chair, David Cake will lead this and will be working with the Council and staff on this effort. Here the Council has the opportunity to feed into plans and provide input based on past experience. Included in this item will be the opportunity to shape the approach to and substance of the Council’s proposed meetings with other groups in such as the CCNSO, the GAC and the ICANN board. 9.1 – Update (David Cake) 9.2 – Discussion 9.3 – Next steps Item 10: Any Other Business (10 mins) * Proposal to review SSAC reports and determine whether or not any recommendations impact on GNSO Consensus Policy Appendix 1: GNSO Council Voting Thresholds (ICANN Bylaws, Article X, Section 3) 9. Except as otherwise specified in these Bylaws, Annex A hereto, or the GNSO Operating Procedures, the default threshold to pass a GNSO Council motion or other voting action requires a simple majority vote of each House. The voting thresholds described below shall apply to the following GNSO actions: a. Create an Issues Report: requires an affirmative vote of more than one-fourth (1/4) vote of each House or majority of one House. b. Initiate a Policy Development Process ("PDP") Within Scope (as described in Annex A<http://www.icann.org/en/about/governance/bylaws#AnnexA>): requires an affirmative vote of more than one-third (1/3) of each House or more than two-thirds (2/3) of one House. c. Initiate a PDP Not Within Scope: requires an affirmative vote of GNSO Supermajority. d. Approve a PDP Team Charter for a PDP Within Scope: requires an affirmative vote of more than one-third (1/3) of each House or more than two-thirds (2/3) of one House. e. Approve a PDP Team Charter for a PDP Not Within Scope: requires an affirmative vote of a GNSO Supermajority. f. Changes to an Approved PDP Team Charter: For any PDP Team Charter approved under d. or e. above, the GNSO Council may approve an amendment to the Charter through a simple majority vote of each House. g. Terminate a PDP: Once initiated, and prior to the publication of a Final Report, the GNSO Council may terminate a PDP only for significant cause, upon a motion that passes with a GNSO Supermajority Vote in favor of termination. h. Approve a PDP Recommendation Without a GNSO Supermajority: requires an affirmative vote of a majority of each House and further requires that one GNSO Council member representative of at least 3 of the 4 Stakeholder Groups supports the Recommendation. i. Approve a PDP Recommendation With a GNSO Supermajority: requires an affirmative vote of a GNSO Supermajority, j. Approve a PDP Recommendation Imposing New Obligations on Certain Contracting Parties: where an ICANN contract provision specifies that "a two-thirds vote of the council" demonstrates the presence of a consensus, the GNSO Supermajority vote threshold will have to be met or exceeded. k. Modification of Approved PDP Recommendation: Prior to Final Approval by the ICANN Board, an Approved PDP Recommendation may be modified or amended by the GNSO Council with a GNSO Supermajority vote. l. A "GNSO Supermajority" shall mean: (a) two-thirds (2/3) of the Council members of each House, or (b) three-fourths (3/4) of one House and a majority of the other House." Appendix 2: Absentee Voting Procedures (GNSO Operating Procedures 4.4<http://gnso.icann.org/council/gnso-operating-procedures-22sep11-en.pdf>) 4.4.1 Applicability Absentee voting is permitted for the following limited number of Council motions or measures. a.

RV: [council] Request for input from the GNSO Policy & Implementation Working Group
by Novoa, Osvaldo Jan. 17, 2014

Jan. 17, 2014

Dear all, We should answer this request. How should we do it? Best regards, Osvaldo [cid:293105216@17012014-0667]Osvaldo Novoa Subgerente General Antel Guatemala 1075, Nivel 22 Montevideo, 11800 Uruguay Tel. +598 2928 6400 Fax. +598 2928 6401 ________________________________ De: owner-council(a)gnso.icann.org [mailto:owner-council@gnso.icann.org] En nombre de Jonathan Robinson Enviado el: Viernes, 17 de Enero de 2014 14:22 Para: council(a)gnso.icann.org CC: Gomes, Chuck; jscottevans(a)outlook.com Asunto: [council] Request for input from the GNSO Policy & Implementation Working Group Importancia: Alta All, Please be aware of the Request for input from the GNSO Policy & Implementation Working Group (see below). This is a working group of substantial interest and importance as evidenced by: 1. The level of interest that related topics have attracted during the roll-out of the new gTLD programme 2. The level of interest indicated by the sheer number of participants in the working group. Notwithstanding that, the Working Group has not received much in the way of input in response to its call for input (first sent out in October 2013). Therefore, this note is to draw your attention to this and to ask you to please encourage your respective groups / constituencies to provide such input to the WG as soon as possible. For information and completeness, the questions from the working group are copied below AND attached in long form (as sent to SO & ACs) to this note. Thank-you. Jonathan --- This Working Group (P&I WG) has been tasked with providing the GNSO Council with a set of recommendations on the following issues: - A set of principles that would underpin any GNSO policy implementation related discussions, taking into account existing GNSO procedures; - A process for developing gTLD policy, perhaps in the form of "Policy Guidance," including criteria for when it would be appropriate to use such a process (for a process developing something other than "Consensus Policy") instead of the GNSO Policy Development Process; - A framework for implementation related discussions associated with GNSO Policy recommendations; - Criteria to be used to determine when an action should be addressed by a policy process and when it should be considered implementation; and - Further guidance on how GNSO Implementation Review Teams, as defined in the PDP Manual, are expected to function and operate. >From the onset of this process, the WG would like to gain input. In this regard, the WG would ask organizations to consider and provide input on the following questions which are set out in the WG's Charter. 1. What guidance do the ICANN core values (Bylaws Article 1, Sec. 2) directly provide with regard to policy development work and policy implementation efforts? 2. What guidance do other ICANN core values provide that relate indirectly to policy development and policy implementation? 3. "Questions for Discussion" contained in the Policy and Implementation Draft Framework prepared by ICANN staff. (See, http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/policy-implementation-31jan13-e…) 4. What lessons can be learned from past experience? * What are the consequences of action being considered "policy" or "implementation"? * Does it matter if something is "policy" or "implementation"? If so, why? * Under what circumstances, if any, should the GNSO Council make recommendations or state positions to the Board on matters of policy and implementation as a representative of the GNSO as a whole? * How do we avoid the current morass of outcome-derived labeling (i.e., I will call this "policy" because I want certain consequences or "handling instructions" to be attached to it?) * Can we answer these questions so the definitions of "policy" and "implementation" matter less, if at all? 5. What options are available for policy ("Consensus Policy" or other) and implementation efforts and what are the criteria for determining which should be used? * Are "policy" and "implementation" on a spectrum rather than binary? * What are the variations of policy and what consequences should attach to each variation? * What happens if you change those consequences? 6. Who determines the choice of whether something is "policy" or "implementation"? * How is policy set/recommended/adopted and do different paths lead to different variations? * How is the "policy" and "implementation" issue reviewed and approved? * What happens if reviewing bodies come to a deadlock? 7. What is the process by which this identification, analysis, review and approval work is done? * How are "policy and implementation" issues first identified (before, during and after implementation)? * What is the role of the GNSO in implementation? * In order to maintain the multi-stakeholder process, once policy moves to implementation, how should the community be involved in a way that is meaningful and effective? * Should policy staff be involved through the implementation process to facilitate continuity of the multi-stakeholder process that already occurred? ________________________________ El presente correo y cualquier posible archivo adjunto está dirigido únicamente al destinatario del mensaje y contiene información que puede ser confidencial.

ICANN News AlertFYI Best regards Wolf-Ulrich From: David Olive Sent: Thursday, January 16, 2014 7:33 AM To: soac-infoalert(a)icann.org Subject: [Soac-infoalert] IANA Functions Satisfaction Survey Yields Overwhelmingly Positive Results L News Alert http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-15jan14-en.htm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ IANA Functions Satisfaction Survey Yields Overwhelmingly Positive Results 15 January 2014 Read the report » [PDF, 1.19 MB] ICANN is reporting extremely high levels of customer satisfaction according to the results of the 2013 Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) Functions Customer Satisfaction Survey. "We are pleased with the high level of satisfaction reported by our customers," said Elise Gerich. ICANN's Vice President of IANA and Technical Operations. "We continue to explore ways to improve the service of administering the protocol parameter registries, the allocation of Internet numbers, and changes to the root zone." The survey, conducted by Ebiquity, investigated seven critical areas of the IANA functions, including: a.. Documentation quality (100% satisfaction) b.. Process quality (100% satisfaction) c.. Accuracy (99% satisfaction) d.. Courtesy (99% satisfaction) e.. Transparency (95% satisfaction) Unlike the previous year's survey, the 2013 survey targeted specific customer groups to better understand how each group perceives ICANN's handling of the IANA functions. Of the eight groups surveyed, 5 reported over 90% satisfaction. "It's good to see that the people who request protocol assignments or routine root management changes and use our registries report such high levels of satisfaction," said Michelle Cotton, Manager of IANA Services. "We will be following up with small groups over the next few months to discuss how to further improve customer satisfaction." With the results of the 2013 survey finalized, ICANN will investigate ways to increase participation in next year's survey. "In 2013 we gathered input from each customer group, while maintaining anonymity, improving on the more general survey conducted in 2012," said Leo Vegoda, Operational Excellence Manager, "In 2014 we plan to improve participation in the survey." ### To learn more about IANA, go to http://www.iana.org/ Ebiquity is a global media, marketing and reputation consultancy, with over 20 years of experience in customer and stakeholder research.

Fw: [gnso-policyimpl-wg] FW: [gnso-policyimpl-chairs] FW: Request for input from the GNSO Policy & Implementation Working Group
by WUKnoben Jan. 16, 2014

Jan. 16, 2014

This is a repeated request from the chairs of the Policy&Implementation WG for responding to questions re the work of this WG (see attached). As the WG has already started working with some subteams it is essential to get input soon (until end of January). Is anybody willing to draft a first skeleton of responses? I’ll join this effort in drafting some ideas. Best regards Wolf-Ulrich From: Gomes, Chuck Sent: Friday, January 10, 2014 10:00 PM To: gnso-policyimpl-wg(a)icann.org Subject: [gnso-policyimpl-wg] FW: [gnso-policyimpl-chairs] FW: Request for input from the GNSO Policy & Implementation Working Group I would like to request assistance from all WG members who represent a GNSO SG or Constituency to do what you can to encourage your respective groups to responds to the request for input that J. Scott and I requested several months ago. The attached letter was originally sent to Jonathan Robinson as GNSO Council Chair and to other SO/AC leaders on September 20, 2013 but the P&I WG has not yet received any response except from the ALAC. We originally asked for responses by 31 October 2013 but later extended it to 31 January 2014. Anything you can do to facilitate responses by the end of this month would be greatly appreciated. I plan to do what I can in the case of the RySG.

These went out on 20 September. I double checked and the letter did go to Jonathan as the GNSO Council Chair, but from the comments received from WG members, it looks like it was not forwarded to the SG/C Chairs. If you agree, we can send it to them today. Would 17 January be a reasonable deadline for input? Thanks for confirming.

Chuck From:owner-gnso-policyimpl-chairs@icann.org [mailto:owner-gnso-policyimpl-chairs@icann.org] On Behalf Of Glen de Saint Géry Sent: Friday, October 18, 2013 1:09 PM To: heather.dryden(a)ic.gc.ca Cc: Olof Nordling; gnso-policyimpl-chairs (gnso-policyimpl-chairs(a)icann.org) (gnso-policyimpl-chairs(a)icann.org) Subject: [gnso-policyimpl-chairs] Request for input from the GNSO Policy & Implementation Working Group Dear Heather: We are the Chairs of the newly constituted Policy & Implementation Working Group. This Working Group (P&I WG) has been tasked with providing the GNSO Council with a set of recommendations on the following issues: - A set of principles that would underpin any GNSO policy implementation related discussions, taking into account existing GNSO procedures; - A process for developing gTLD policy, perhaps in the form of “Policy Guidance,” including criteria for when it would be appropriate to use such a process (for a process developing something other than “Consensus Policy”) instead of the GNSO Policy Development Process; - A framework for implementation related discussions associated with GNSO Policy recommendations; - Criteria to be used to determine when an action should be addressed by a policy process and when it should be considered implementation; and - Further guidance on how GNSO Implementation Review Teams, as defined in the PDP Manual, are expected to function and operate. From the onset of this process, the WG would like to gain input from the GAC to support us in our efforts. In this regard, we would ask for your organization to consider the following questions which are set out in the WG’s Charter and provide us with any input the GAC may have on any or all of these issues by 30 November. 1.. What guidance do the ICANN core values (Bylaws Article 1, Sec. 2) directly provide with regard to policy development work and policy implementation efforts? 2.. What guidance do other ICANN core values provide that relate indirectly to policy development and policy implementation? 3.. “Questions for Discussion” contained in the Policy and Implementation Draft Framework prepared by ICANN staff. (See, http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/policy-implementation-31jan13-e…) 4.. What lessons can be learned from past experience? 1.. What are the consequences of action being considered “policy” or “implementation”? 2.. Does it matter if something is “policy” or “implementation”? If so, why? 3.. Under what circumstances, if any, should the GNSO Council make recommendations or state positions to the Board on matters of policy and implementation as a representative of the GNSO as a whole? 4.. How do we avoid the current morass of outcome-derived labeling (i.e., I will call this “policy” because I want certain consequences or “handling instructions” to be attached to it?) 5.. Can we answer these questions so the definitions of “policy” and “implementation” matter less, if at all? 5.. What options are available for policy (“Consensus Policy” or other) and implementation efforts and what are the criteria for determining which should be used? 1.. Are “policy” and “implementation” on a spectrum rather than binary? 2.. What are the variations of policy and what consequences should attach to each variation? 3.. What happens if you change those consequences? 6.. Who determines the choice of whether something is “policy” or “implementation”? 1.. How is policy set/recommended/adopted and do different paths lead to different variations? 2.. How is the “policy” and “implementation” issue reviewed and approved? 3.. What happens if reviewing bodies come to a deadlock? 7.. What is the process by which this identification, analysis, review and approval work is done? 1.. How are “policy and implementation” issues first identified (before, during and after implementation)? 2.. What is the role of the GNSO in implementation? 3.. In order to maintain the multi-stakeholder process, once policy moves to implementation, how should the community be involved in a way that is meaningful and effective? 4.. Should policy staff be involved through the implementation process to facilitate continuity of the multi-stakeholder process that already occurred? Alternatively or in support of your efforts to respond to the above, if you would like to set up a teleconference in advance of the ICANN meeting in Buenos Aires or an in-person meeting in Buenos Aires, the Working Group would welcome such an approach as well. We are very happy to report that two GAC participants have joined the WG in their personal capacities: Olga Cavalli and Carlos Raul Guttierez. To the extent that these WG members might be willing to do so, we are open to the possibility of exploring whether it might be possible for either or both of them to serve in an informal and unofficial liaison capacity to facilitate communications between the GAC and WG. If you would like to discuss this further, please let us know. We would like to remind you that the WG is open to the full community and we welcome any additional members from the GAC that my wish to participate in this work in their personal capacities. To review the current membership, please see https://community.icann.org/x/81V-Ag. Finally, we want to acknowledge receipt of a suggestion from Suzanne Radell that this WG might be an opportunity to experiment with a new approach for GAC/GNSO collaboration. As chairs of the P&I WG, we are very open to this idea and we have referred it to the GNSO Council chair for further consideration. Thank you in advance for your consideration. Please do not hesitate to reach out to either of us if you have any questions or if you require any additional information. Kind regards. Chuck Gomes (cgomes(a)verisign.com) J.
