GNSO Council meeting 09 June
by KnobenW＠telekom.de June 9, 2011

June 9, 2011

All: The following motions passed at the council meeting today: Motion 1. WHOIS Registrant Identification Study Motion May 2011: Made by Jonathan Robinson Seconded by: John Berard Whereas: In October 2007, the GNSO Council concluded that a comprehensive and objective understanding of key factual issues regarding the gTLD Whois system would benefit future GNSO policy development efforts (http://gnso.icann.org/resolutions/) On 4 March 2009, the GNSO Council requested Staff to conduct research on feasibility and cost estimates for selected Whois studies and report its findings to Council. (See Motion 3, http://gnso.icann.org/resolutions/#200903 <http://gnso.icann.org/resolutions/> ). On 23-Mar-2010, Staff presented a report on the feasibility and cost estimates for a Whois "Registrant Identification" Study, finding that the study would cost approximately $150,000 (USD) and take approximately one year to complete (http://gnso.icann.org/issues/whois/whois-studies-report-for-gnso-23mar1 0-en.pdf). This exploratory study would examine Whois data for a representative sample of gTLD domain names to classify the types of entities that register domains, including natural persons, various kinds of legal persons and Privacy and Proxy service providers. On 28 April 2011 the Council deferred consideration of the Whois Registrant Identification Study until the 9 June 2011 meeting and requested that any applicable motions in that regard be submitted not later than 1 June 2011. On 20 May 2011 a volunteer Whois studies group submitted to the GNSO Council revised Whois Registrant Identification Study Terms of Reference http://gnso.icann.org/issues/whois/tor-whois-registrant-id-studies-20may 11-en.pdf supporting Rationale http://gnso.icann.org/issues/whois/whois-registrant-id-study-rationale-2 0may11-en.pdf and Summary of Changes http://gnso.icann.org/issues/whois/summary-changes-whois-registrant-id-s tudy-tor-20may11-en.pdf Resolved; The Council requests that ICANN staff proceed with the Whois Registrant Identification Study as set forth in the revised Terms of Reference http://gnso.icann.org/issues/whois/tor-whois-registrant-id-studies-20may 11-en.pdf Further resolved, the Council asks staff to report back to the Council if the original estimate for the study of $150,000 USD is exceeded by greater than 20%. Further resolved, in recognition of the substantial amount of coordination needed to direct the research, that staff be given the discretion to manage this study serially or in parallel with the other Whois studies, with a goal of expediting completion of all of the studies as efficiently as possible. Motion 3: To Acknowledge the Receipt of the Policy Development Process Work Team Final Report and Initiate a Public Comment Period: Made by: Jeff Neuman Seconded by: Wolf-Ulrich Knoben WHEREAS, in October 2008, the GNSO Council established a framework (see GNSO Council Improvement Implementation Plan; (http://www.icann.org/en/topics/gnso-improvements/gnso-improvements-impl ementation-plan-16oct08.pdf) for implementing the various GNSO Improvements identified and approved by the ICANN Board of Directors on 26 June 2008 (http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/resolutions-26jun08.htm#_Toc76113182 <http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/resolutions-26jun08.htm> ) (http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/resolutions-26jun08.htm) WHEREAS, that framework included the formation, in January 2009, of two Steering Committees, the Operations Steering Committee (OSC) and the Policy Process Steering Committee (PPSC), to charter and coordinate the efforts of five community work teams in developing specific recommendations to implement the improvements; WHEREAS, the PPSC established two work teams, including the Policy Development Process Work Team (PDP-WT), which was chartered to develop a new policy development process that incorporates a working group approach and makes it more effective and responsive to ICANN's policy development needs; WHEREAS, the GNSO Council decided to terminate the PPSC on 28 April 2011 and instructed the PDP-WT to deliver its Final Report directly to the GNSO Council; WHEREAS, the PDP-WT submitted its Final Report, http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-31may11-en.htm, on 31 May 2011 to the GNSO Council; NOW THEREFORE, BE IT: RESOLVED that the GNSO Council acknowledges receipt of the PDP-WT Final Report as delivered by the PDP-WT and directs ICANN Staff to commence a thirty (30) day public comment period on this Final Report. RESOLVED FURTHER that the GNSO Council shall take action on the PDP-WT Final Report as soon as possible after the end of the public comment period. RESOLVED FURTHER that the GNSO Council recommends that a concise summary of the new Policy Development Process be drafted by ICANN Staff, following approval of the new PDP by the ICANN Board, in order to serve as a primer to the new Annex A of the ICANN Bylaws and PDP Manual for potential PDP WG members 2. Motion regarding the JAS milestone report Made by: Rafik Dammak Seconded by: Andrei Kolesnikov Amended by Jeff Neuman Whereas: The GNSO Council and ALAC established the Joint SO/AC Working Group (JASWG) on support for new gTLD applicants in April of 2010; and The Working Group released it Milestone Report posted for consideration by the Board, Chartering Organizations and at-large Community. This report documented the completion of work as defined in the orignal charter and requested an update to the Working Groups charter, and The GNSO and ALAC, separately, renewed the Working Groups charter with additional work item in February 2011, and The Joint SO/AC Working Group received and discussed the public comments, and The Joint SO/AC Working Group has completed the work as defined in its extended charter and published a second milestone report (https://community.icann.org/display/jaswg/JAS+Issues+and+Recommendation s#) on 8 May 2011 covering those chartered items (http://gnso.icann.org/resolutions/#20110113-1 <http://gnso.icann.org/resolutions/> ) entitled JAS Milestone Report. and The GNSO Council does not wish to delay the start of the new gTLD application process, and The GNSO Council does not wish to delay implementation of support programs for applicants from developing regions, RESOLVED: The GNSO Council thanks the members of the Joint SO/AC Working Group for its efforts and its dedication to completing the work on such a tight schedule, and The GNSO Council requests that the report be put out for community review as soon as possible, and The GNSO Council forwards the second JAS Milestone Report to the ICANN board for informational purposes to demonstrate the progress made by the JAS WG so that it may refer to that progress in their discussions with the GAC, The GNSO Council requests that ICANN staff begin assessing whether the recommendations are implementable, and The JAS Working Group continues working to deal with any issues that may arise in the upcoming review by the community, and That the JAS Working group publish their final report after this review process. Resolved further, that the GNSO Council instructs the GNSO Chair to communicate its decision to the ALAC Chair. Kind regards Wolf-Ulrich

WG: [council] REMINDER: Invite for Volunteers to Form a Charter Drafting Team for the Outreach Task Force - closes 1 June

Von: owner-council(a)gnso.icann.org [mailto:owner-council@gnso.icann.org] Im Auftrag von Glen de Saint Géry Gesendet: Montag, 30. Mai 2011 21:40 An: council(a)gnso.icann.org Betreff: [council] REMINDER: Invite for Volunteers to Form a Charter Drafting Team for the Outreach Task Force - closes 1 June Dear All, http://gnso.icann.org/announcements/announcement-2-19may11-en.htm One of the recommendations of the ICANN Board Governance Committee was to develop and implement a targeted outreach program to explore the formation of new constituency groups. The Operations Steering Committee developed recommendations on a global outreach program and submitted them to the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council. (See http://gnso.icann.org/drafts/global-outreach-recommendations-21jan11-en.pdf.) On 24 February 2011 the GNSO Council acknowledged receipt of the recommendations by the Operations Steering Committee and directed staff to post the document for forty-five (45) days in the ICANN Public Comment Forum. On 28 April the GNSO Council directed the Operations Steering Committee to review the Summary and Analysis document as well as the comments and make any changes to the proposed recommendations as are deemed appropriate, or to make those changes directly as it sees fit. The Operations Steering Committee determined that no changes were ! necessary. Thus, on 19 May the GNSO Council directed ICANN staff to begin the process of seeking volunteers from the GNSO Council to form a Charter Drafting Team for the Outreach Task Force described in the recommendations as follows: "The GNSO Council should manage the development of the OTF [Outreach Task Force] through the creation of a Drafting Team to develop the OTF's [Outreach Task Force] Charter. The Charter shall include procedures for member recruitment, application, selection, terms and term limits. The Charter should also set goals for the completion of the membership selection process, establishment of a meeting schedule, and participation guidelines. The Charter should establish an initial term for the OTF [Outreach Task Force] of two years. After this period a review should be conducted to review the success of the OTF's [Outreach Task Force] initiatives and, if deemed successful, the OTF's charter could be extended annually." This invitation is extended to all members of the GNSO Community. We urge you to forward to this to all members of the community who may be interested in participating. Please contact the GNSO Council Secretariat at gnso.secretariat(a)gnso.icann.org by 01 June 2011 if you are interested in joining the Drafting Team. Please contact Julie Hedlund at julie.hedlund(a)icann.org if you have any questions about the Outreach Recommendations. Thank you. Kind regards, Glen Glen de Saint Géry GNSO Secretariat gnso.secretariat(a)gnso.icann.org http://gnso.icann.org

WG: [council] Draft Timeline: 2012-2015 Strategic Plan Development Process

________________________________ Von: owner-council(a)gnso.icann.org [mailto:owner-council@gnso.icann.org] Im Auftrag von Glen de Saint Géry Gesendet: Dienstag, 31. Mai 2011 12:19 An: Council GNSO Betreff: [council] Draft Timeline: 2012-2015 Strategic Plan Development Process http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-2-30may11-en.htm 文 English Français Español Русский 日本語 Deutsch Português 한국어 Italiano Draft Timeline: 2012-2015 Strategic Plan Development Process 30 May 2011 As part of ICANN’s planning process, a three-year Strategic Plan is reviewed and updated annually. This is complimented by an annual Operating Plan and Budget. The 2011-2014 Strategic Plan <http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-28mar11-en.htm> evolved substantially from previous versions with collaborative input from the Community, and introduced strategic metrics to facilitate and communicate progress. To kick off the annual Strategic Planning process, a 2012-2015 Strategic Plan Timeline has been established. This high-level timeline commits to an organized, efficient process that will run from June 2011 to December 2011. The timeline includes the following next steps: * The process will begin in June during the Singapore Meeting, where we will have initial meetings with ICANN’s Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees to obtain input on accomplishments, long term planning, ICANN’s Strategic Focus Areas and strategic metrics. * In July, ICANN will identify strategic positions and solicit community input through a public comment forum. * In late September, a Draft 2012-2015 Strategic Plan will be posted for public comment prior to the Dakar meeting. * Several consultations will occur with stakeholder groups to further refine the plan. * In November, we will incorporate Community, Staff and Board feedback and present the proposed plan to the Board for consideration and adoption. The development cycle for this year’s Strategic Plan recognizes ICANN’s ongoing commitment to the bottom-up, decision-making model and contained extensive engagement with the multi-stakeholder community, the Board, and with the ICANN Staff.
