Item 4: COUNCIL DISCUSSION – IGO-INGO Access to Curative Rights
Protection Mechanisms (15 minutes)
The IGO-INGO Access to Curative Rights Protection Mechanisms PDP WG
had worked to resolve a final recommendation relating to IGO
jurisdictional immunity and registrants’ rights to file court
proceedings. The WG has determined consensus on a set of options for
this final recommendation, as well as for all other recommendations.
The WG Chair proposed his determination of consensus levels for all
recommendations, which the WG affirmed. On 27 June 2018, the GNSO
Council passed a
resolution<https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions#201806>,
thanking the PDP WG for its efforts and requesting that it submit its
Final Report in time for the 19 July 2018 Council meeting.
After having agreed on consensus levels for its final recommendations,
the WG considered the text of its Final Report. On 9 July 2018, the
PDP WG submitted its Final
Report<https://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/igo-ingo-crp-access-final-17jul18-en.pdf>
to the GNSO Council for its consideration, which contains five
consensus recommendations and three minority statements, documenting
their disagreement either with one or more of the final
recommendations or other parts of the Final Report.
There remain several inconsistencies between GAC advice and consensus
recommendations from the IGO-INGO PDP WG, which have yet to be
reconciled, including on the topic of appropriate protections for IGO
acronyms (both preventative and curative). During its 19 July Council
meeting, the Council
resolved<https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions#201807> to
accept the Final Report from the IGO-INGO Access to Curative Rights
Mechanisms PDP Working Group and has begun considering the topic of
curative rights protections for IGOs in the broader context of
appropriate overall scope of protection for all IGO identifiers.
On 9 October 2018, the Council held a question and answer webinar to
review the recommendations and to ask itself a series of questions, 1)
Does the Council believe that the PDP has addressed the issues that it
was chartered to address (i.e. What questions/topics was the Working
Group chartered to consider, did it consider those charter
topics/questions, and did it do so in a legitimate way)?; 2) Has the
PDP followed due process?; and 3) Did the PDP Working Group address
GAC advice on the topic?
A motion to consider the Final Report was originally on the 24 October
2018 Council meeting agenda but was withdrawn due to concerns around
both the process followed by the PDP, as well as the substance of the
PDP WG’s recommendations. Council leadership and staff have developed
a summary document [INSERT LINK WHEN READY] that lists issues raised
by Councilors, options available, and potential considerations.
Here, the Council will consider the options available and discuss
appropriate next steps.
4.1 – Presentation of topic (Council Leadership)
4.2 – Council discussion
4.3 – Next steps
Item 5: COUNCIL UPDATE – Temporary Specification for Registration Data
Expedited Policy Development Process - Recurring Update (25 minutes)
On 19 July 2018, the GNSO Council
resolved<https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions#20180719-2> to
initiate the Expedited Policy Development Process (EPDP) on the
Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data and adopt the EPDP
Team Charter<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/temp-spec-gtld-rd-epdp-19jul18-en.pdf>.
Given the challenging timeline for the EPDP and the GNSO Council’s
role in managing the PDP process, the Council has agreed that
including a recurring update on the EPDP for each Council meeting is
prudent.
Here, the Council will receive an update from the GNSO Council liaison
to the EPDP.
5.1 – Update (Rafik Dammak, GNSO Council liaison to the EPDP and EPDP
vice-chair)
5.2 – Council discussion
5.3 – Next steps
Item 6: COUNCIL DISCUSSION – ICANN Reserve Fund (15 minutes)
The ICANN Reserve Fund was created in 2007 with a target level set at
a minimum of 12 months of Operating Expenses. It has been funded
through operational excesses. Over the past years, ICANN's operations
have grown, its risk profile has evolved, and withdrawals have been
made to fund the IANA stewardship transition expenses.
On 6 March 2018, ICANN Org sought public
comment<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/reserve-fund-replenishment-2018-03-06-en>
on the Reserve Fund replenishment strategy, to bring the Reserve Fund
to its minimum target level of 12 months.
During the 25 October 2018 meeting of the ICANN Board, two resolutions
were adopted to transfer funds to the Reserve Fund. The
first<https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2018-10-25-en#2.c>
transferred US$3,000,000 from the Operating Fund. The
second<https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2018-10-25-en#2.f>
allocated US$36,000,000 of auction proceeds to the Reserve Fund.
Several Council members expressed concern that auction proceeds were
utilized for this purpose, diminishing the pool of allocatable funds
available to the recommendations of the New gTLD Auction Proceeds
Cross-Community Working Group (CCWG).
Here, the Council discuss potential issues and determine if any
remedial actions may be necessary at the Council level.
6.1 – Presentation of topic (Council Leadership)
6.2 – Council discussion
6.3 – Next steps
Item 7: COUNCIL DISCUSSION – Discussion of the Inter-Registrar
Transfer Policy (IRTP) Policy Status Report (15 minutes)
The Consensus Policy Implementation Framework (CPIF) provides guidance
to ICANN org and the community for implementing policy. However, there
is minimal guidance in this document or in other documentation around
the review of implemented policies adopted by the GNSO Council. In
some cases, a review is explicitly mandated as an element of the PDP
WG’s recommendations to the Council, but in some cases, the
recommendations are silent in this respect.
ICANN org, in consultation with the Council, prepared a draft
framework on the approach for post-implementation reviews of Council
adopted policy recommendations. The framework provides guidance on a
number of questions (e.g., When should a review be initiated when
there is no PDP recommendation to do so? What triggers should initiate
a review? What are the expected outcomes of the review? Etc.).
During its 26 April 2018 meeting, the Council tentatively agreed to
have ICANN org conduct a review of the Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy
(IRTP). ICANN org utilized the draft framework for conducting the
post-implementation review of the IRTP. On 14 November 2018, ICANN org
published<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/irtp-status-2018-11-14-en>
the IRTP Policy Status Report for public comment.
Here, the Council will receive an update on the report, discuss its
initial reactions, and consider next steps.
7.1 – Presentation of materials (Brian Aitchison)
7.2 – Council discussion
7.3 – Next steps
Item 8: ANY OTHER BUSINESS (10 minutes)
8.1 - Update on the Council Strategic Planning Session
8.2 - Permanent GNSO representative to the Fellowship Selection Committee
