*Item 4: COUNCIL DISCUSSION - SubPro Small Team Update on Non-Adopted
Recommendations (20 minutes)*
In March 2023, the ICANN Board approved the majority of the recommendations
contained in the Final Report on the new gTLD Subsequent PDP, but also
placed some recommendations into a pending status. The Council convened a
small team that worked collaboratively with the ICANN Board to resolve all
pending recommendations. While the majority of the pending recommendations
were able to be adopted by the ICANN Board, recommendations across six
Topics were non adopted by the ICANN Board.
With the primary task of addressing the pending recommendations now
complete, the Council has tasked the Small Team Plus with an updated
assignment form
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yDgWIwKZqKk0WY0q7CS2pf7aD4VupCWV/edit>.
The Small Team Plus has committed to a work plan
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IhxKi0dvkS-a3ot7w8YG0iFxw4LiZuLz/edit>
to address the recommendations not adopted by the Board. Following that
plan, the Small Team initiated first steps (i.e., developed background
materials, preliminary Supplemental Recommendation language, and issued a
call for volunteers for the Small Team Plus). The Small Team Plus has begun
developing Supplemental Recommendation language, beginning with
Recommendation 17.2, Applicant Support, according to the above-mentioned
work plan and has continued to make further progress.
Here, the Council will receive an update on the work of the Small Team Plus.
4.1 - Introduction of Topic (Paul McGrady, Small Team Plus Lead)
4.2 - Council Discussion
4.3 - Next Steps
*Item 5: COUNCIL DISCUSSION - Communications Small Team Follow-up
Conversation (20 minutes)*
The Communications Small Team began working in April 2023 with a goal of
developing a communications plan for the Council. Within that overarching
goal, the Small Team identified five objectives:
1. Perform a situation analysis of current communications efforts
2. Clarify overall objectives of Council communications
3. Identify the target audience
4. Recommend communications mechanisms that the Council could use
5. Determine how to measure success for these mechanisms
During the 2023 GNSO Council Strategic Planning Session, Tomslin Samme-Nlar
presented the outputs of the Small Team’s work. The Council thanked the
Small Team for its work, and after having an initial discussion, requested
additional time to discuss the outputs during a monthly Council meeting.
Some of the questions Councilors noted for further consideration:
- What is the best way to communicate with outsiders and make the
information more understandable/readable?
- How can/should the Council reach the “people who care about ICANN but
do not have time to participate”?
- Could/should the Council consider having a liaison to the broader
community? (similar to the liaison to the GAC, ccNSO, etc.)
- How can the Council effectively target fellows and get them to focus
on the GNSO?
Here, the Council will discuss the set of questions identified during the
SPS and determine next steps.
5.1 - Introduction of Topic (Tomslin Samme-Nlar, Council Vice-Chair)
5.2 - Council Discussion
5.3 - Next Steps
*Item 6: COUNCIL DISCUSSION - Council Engagement with PDP Working Group
Chairs (20 minutes) *
During the Council’s 2023 Strategic Planning Session, the Council agreed
that updates from PDP Working Group Chairs and Council liaisons should be
more purpose-driven.
In discussing this, GNSO Support Staff provided background information on
the GNSO Policy Webinar. Specifically, the webinars began in 2018 and were
designed to provide the Council with an opportunity to directly engage with
PDP chairs regarding the progress of their working groups. This engagement
previously took place at ICANN meetings during GNSO working sessions;
however, when the ICANN meeting schedule was shortened, these interactions
were moved to a webinar format in an effort to allow the engagement to
continue.
After receiving this background information, some Councilors noted that if
the purpose is for the Council to hear frank updates from Working Group
Chairs, the webinar should be for Councilors rather than a larger community
update. Additionally, Councilors noted it would be helpful to remove the
webinar from the Prep Week schedule so that it can be geared specifically
toward the GNSO Council. Some Councilors noted it would be helpful to
review the current list of questions asked to Chairs during Council webinar
briefings. The current list of questions is provided below:
1. Are there any new or recurring challenges that have emerged since
your last update to the community?
2. How can the Council and/or community assist with these challenges?
3. What does the WG plan to discuss during the ICANN meeting?
4. Is there anything else you would like to update the Council on?
Here, the Council will discuss if this list of questions is helpful to
Councilors in their role as Manager of the PDP or if updates are needed.
6.1 - Introduction of Topic (Nacho Amadoz, Council Vice-Chair)
6.2 - Council Discussion
6.3 - Next Steps
*Item 7: COUNCIL DISCUSSION - Registration Data Accuracy (20 minutes)*
The Registration Data Accuracy (RDA) Scoping Team was initiated by the GNSO
Council in July 2021 per the formation instructions
<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/registration-data-accuracy-scoping-team-formation-instructions-09jul21-en.pdf>.
The Scoping Team was tasked with considering a number of accuracy-related
factors such as the current enforcement, reporting, measurement, and
overall effectiveness of accuracy-related efforts. These considerations are
to help inform the team’s deliberations and development of recommendations
to the GNSO Council on whether any changes are recommended to improve
accuracy levels, and, if so, how and by whom these changes would need to be
developed (for example, if changes to existing contractual requirements are
recommended, a PDP or contractual negotiations may be necessary to effect a
change).
The Scoping Team completed Assignment #1 (enforcement and reporting) and
Assignment #2 (measurement of accuracy) and submitted its write up
<https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2022-September/025950.html> to the
Council on 5 September 2022. In its write up, the Scoping Team suggested
moving forward with two proposals that would not require access to
registration data, namely a registrar survey (recommendation #1) and a
possible registrar audit (recommendation #2) that may help further inform
the team’s work on assignment #3 (effectiveness) and #4 (impact &
improvements), while it awaits the outcome of the outreach to the European
Data Protection Board (EDPB) by ICANN org in relation to proposals that
would require access to registration data (recommendation #3).
ICANN org provided an update to the Council during the 20 April meeting
<https://icann.zoom.us/rec/play/gx322OsdypGMHjYVMzr4WbdyyeM7CPWvNzzrBJpx-NPgYwDU_bszZ1uLFbVNs8ZsRhL2jmmxdfXGEWQg.LhtmWK3BbZLEN56w?canPlayFromShare=true&from=share_recording_detail&startTime=1682024532000&componentName=rec-play&originRequestUrl=https%3A%2F%2Ficann.zoom.us%2Frec%2Fshare%2FtTb9QnBfU92aXXAmz40TRnohHHBjddrQq5N-dSwUXq1W-A_sWeIZe1s3w6rgiqrb.SxCMl9dj0eL6k9GN%3FstartTime%3D1682024532000>.
During its meeting on 20 June 2023, the Council voted to extend the
deferral of the consideration of recommendations #1 and #2, pending
resolution of recommendation #3 (pausing the work on proposals that require
access to registration data until there is clarity from ICANN org on if/how
it anticipates the requesting and processing of registration data to be
undertaken in the context of measuring accuracy).
On 19 October 2023, ICANN org provided an update
<https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2023-October/027397.html> on
Registration Data Accuracy efforts, and the Council discussed the update
during its 16 November 2023 meeting. During that meeting, some Councilors
noted that, barring (i) completion of the Data Processing Agreement, (ii)
implementation of the NIS2 directive, or (iii) publication of the
Inferential Analysis of Maliciously Registered Domains (INFERMAL) Study, it
may not be the appropriate time to reconvene the Accuracy Scoping Team. Now
that six months have passed since the Council’s deferral of the accuracy
scoping work, the Council will need to consider next steps.
Here, the Council will consider whether a further deferral is appropriate
or if other next steps are timely e.g., the consideration of the Scoping
Team’s recommendations 1 and 2.
