WG: [liaison6c] No Audio Cast for Council call on 8 September
by KnobenW＠telekom.de Sept. 8, 2010

Sept. 8, 2010

Dear All, The GNSO Council meeting will not be audiocast tomorrow due to technical difficulties as described below: "IT has conducted further testing and we have determined that the timeout fix was not corrected. We will be unable to support any calls until the bug has been corrected. I would prefer to cancel the audiocast for the Sept 8th meeting at this point. I apologize for this inconvenience and will make sure that the bug is completely fixed before offering this service for the use with the GNSO." We are indeed very disappointed and apologize, but hope that this will be up and running soon again. We will have the Council MP3 published on the website on page as soon as possible after the meeting. Thank you for your patience. Kind regards, Glen Glen de Saint Géry GNSO Secretariat gnso.secretariat(a)gnso.icann.org http://gnso.icann.org

WG: Add George Asare Sakyi from Ghana to the slate of candidates to improve the geographical diversity for the SSR review team.
by KnobenW＠telekom.de Sept. 1, 2010

Sept. 1, 2010

Dear colleagues, At the last council meeting it was suggested by the NCSG representatives to add George Asare Sakyi from Ghana to the slate of candidates to improve the geographical diversity for the SSR review team. It was decided before voting to ask for input from the stakeholder groups / constituencies with regard to this question. As your council rep I'm forwarding this question to you seeking advice in advance to the next council meeting (Sep 08). Please take into consideration: - the NCSG comes up with George due to diversity issue - there is no "must" in the rules with regards to diversity - the GNSO are 3 seats given in the SSR team - together with George the GNSO would forward 5 candidates to the selectors to take their choice Regards Wolf-Ulrich _____ Von: Glen de Saint Géry [mailto:Glen@icann.org] Gesendet: Dienstag, 31.

ENC: [council] New gTLD Recommendation 6 Community Working Group
by Jaime Wagner - CGI Aug. 20, 2010

Aug. 20, 2010

fyi Jaime Wagner CGI (Comitê Gestor da Internet no Brasil) Representante dos Provedores de Acesso e Conteúdo <mailto:jaime@corp.plugin.com.br> jaime <mailto:jaime@cgi.br> @cgi.br cel: (51)8126-0916 j.w(a)gner.net.br dir: (51) 3219-5955 De: owner-council(a)gnso.icann.org [mailto:owner-council@gnso.icann.org] Em nome de Gomes, Chuck Enviada em: quinta-feira, 19 de agosto de 2010 11:32 Para: Council GNSO Assunto: [council] New gTLD Recommendation 6 Community Working Group Prioridade: Alta Hopefully all of you are aware that the GAC requested a community working group to discuss the implementation of the GNSO New gTLD Recommendation 6. To accommodate that request, the list that the GNSO established in follow-up to Bill Drakes request in our Brussels Wrap-Up session to participate in the discussions on this topic going on within the GAC an ALAC will be used for the community working group discussions. Considering how late this is happening relative to the new gTLD process, Cheryl Langdon-Orr, chair of the ALAC, and Heather Dryden, Chair of the GAC, and I have been discussing how to go about accommodating the GAC request in a timely manner. To expedite discussions, we decided to prepare an initial draft Terms of Reference (ToR) for discussion by those who have volunteered to participate in the group. The hope is to very quickly finalize the ToR so that discussion of the issues may begin and thereby have a chance of developing recommendations for improving the implementation plan for Recommendation 6 in the Draft Application Guidebook, version 4. As you can see in the draft ToR, this is not a PDP. The GNSO Council already approved Recommendation 6 by a super-majority vote. There is no intent to undo the intent of that recommendation; to do that would require a PDP because it would be materially changing an already approved policy recommendation. Rather, the intent is to explore whether the implementation process in version 4 of the Guidebook could be improved in a way that addresses any of the GAC and ALAC concerns. As all of you know, there is no established process for community working groups. In drafting the initial ToR for discussion, we tried to accommodate the needs of all three organizations especially in terms of how they operate, which are different in certain respects. Please note that the group is open to all community participants from all SOs and ACs and for that matter any who are not SO or AC participants. I believe that this could be the first significant effort of the GNSO and GAC working together in a WG and I am hopeful that it will provide some lessons for how we can to that better on other issues in the future, just like the GNSO Council discussed with the GAC in Brussels. The GAC has an important advisory role in ICANN policy processes as they relate to public policy issues and we all know that the Board will listen intently to the GAC advice on the implementation of Recommendation 6. Therefore, it seemed wise to try to do that sooner rather than later to minimize any further delays. I will add this topic to the agenda for 26 August but would really appreciate it if we can discuss it on the list in advance. Thanks for your cooperation, Chuck <<New gTLD Recommendation 6 Community Discussion Group Terms of Reference v3.docx>>

Dear colleagues, I think Masa has made some important comments. I will delay sending comment to ICANN until tomorrow, in case anyone else would like to add anything further.
