*Item 4: COUNCIL DISCUSSION - Reaction to Program Management Tools
Discussion (20 minutes)*
During the Council’s recent Strategic Planning Session (SPS), Council
Leadership and GNSO Support Staff provided an overview of the available
program management tools to educate new councilors on what tools are
available and how to best utilize them.
Councilors noted that before any changes to the current tools are
considered, it is incumbent on all Councilors to familiarize themselves
with the existing tools. To that end, the Council agreed to do a
comprehensive and detailed review of the program management tools on a
tri-annual basis. The Council agreed the tri-annual cadence aligned with
the current ICANN conference schedule, and the first of these reviews was
conducted during the Council’s Working Session at ICANN79.
Having performed a comprehensive review of the program management suite of
tools during its working session, the Council will now discuss lessons
learned and potential suggestions for the next review at the ICANN80
working session.
4.1 - Introduction of Topic (Greg DiBiase, GNSO Chair)
4.2 - Council Discussion
4.3 - Next Steps
*Item 5: COUNCIL DISCUSSION - Council Engagement with PDP Working Group
Chairs (15 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 reviewed the list of questions provided to
Working Group Chairs in an effort to better understand Working Group
progress and potential challenges (if any).
Councilors attended the webinar, in its updated form, prior to ICANN79.
Here, the Council will discuss if the updates to the webinar format helped
make the interactions more purpose driven or if further updates may be
needed.
5.1 - Introduction of Topic (Nacho Amadoz, Council Vice-Chair)
5.2 - Council Discussion
5.3 - Next Steps
*Item 6: COUNCIL DISCUSSION - Update on Contracted Party House Abuse
Subgroup Meetings with the Non-Commercial Stakeholder Group (15 minutes)*
In February 2022, the GNSO Council formed a small team
<https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=228786793> of
interested Council members to consider what policy efforts, if any, the
GNSO Council should consider undertaking to support the efforts already
underway in the different parts of the community to tackle DNS abuse.
The DNS Abuse Small Team preliminarily concluded that there is not enough
information available to warrant further policy work at this time.
Following the update from the DNS Abuse Small Team, Council representatives
from the Registrar Stakeholder Group commented on the productive dialogue
between Contracted Parties and the ICANN Community with respect to DNS
Abuse and committed to continuing the dialogue with interested groups.
To that end, on 23 January 2024, the Registrar Stakeholder Group and the
Registries Stakeholder Group DNS Abuse Subgroups met with the
Non-Commercial Stakeholder group as the first in a planned series of
outreach sessions to the ICANN Community regarding pain points with respect
to DNS Abuse. The discussion touched on potential recommendations for
solutions and potential future work.
Here, the Council will receive an update on this meeting and subsequent
discussions with other groups.
6.1 - Introduction of Topic (Chris Disspain, Co-Chair of DNS Abuse Subgroup)
6.2 - Council Discussion
6.3 - Next Steps
*Item 7: COUNCIL DISCUSSION - Response to Update from ICANN org
Implementation Update and interaction with ICANN Board (25 minutes) *
During the Council’s Working Session, ICANN org provided an overview of the
implementation status of the projects that are currently in implementation.
These include:
- Privacy and Proxy Services Accreditation Implementation (PPSAI)
- Preventative and Curative Rights Protections for Intergovernmental
Organizations (IGOs)/International Non-Governmental Organizations (INGOs)
- New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP
In addition, during Prep Week, the ICANN Board held a community engagement
session where a question was posed that is relevant to the GNSO Council:
how do we handle situations where it becomes clear that community-developed
gTLD policies adopted by the Board are superseded by subsequent events or
are otherwise not able to, or can no longer, resolve the problems they were
designed to address
Here, the Council will have an opportunity to discuss the update from ICANN
org and ICANN Board engagement session to determine next steps, if any.
7.1 - Introduction of Topic (Nacho Amadoz, Council Vice-Chair)
7.2 - Council Discussion
7.3 - Next Steps
*Item 8: Selection and Timeline of Next GNSO Liaison to the Governmental
Advisory Committee (10 minutes)*
The role of GNSO Liaison to the Governmental Advisory Committee (“GAC”) was
first piloted in FY15-16 (1 July 2014 to 30 June 2016) as part of a broader
initiative of the GAC-GNSO Consultation Group to facilitate early
engagement of the GAC in GNSO policy development activities. Due to the
success of the pilot, the GNSO Liaison to the GAC is now a permanent role
and an integral part of communications between the GAC and GNSO.
The Liaison is primarily responsible for providing timely updates to the
GAC on GNSO policy development activities in order to complement the
existing notification processes as well as answering questions in relation
to these (GNSO) activities that GAC members may have. Furthermore, the
Liaison will be responsible for providing the GNSO Council with regular
updates on progress, including on GAC activities, specifically in so far as
these relate to issues of interest to the GNSO. The objective of the
liaison mechanism, in combination with other mechanisms and early
engagement tools, is to facilitate effective early engagement of the GAC as
well as generally assist with flow of information between the GAC and the
GNSO. In addition to these engagement tools, regular coordination calls are
to be scheduled between the GNSO Liaison to the GAC and the GAC
Leadership/GAC Support Staff to ascertain that all the relevant information
has been received by the GAC and progress is being made, following which a
regular status update is provided by the Liaison to the GNSO Council.
Here, the Council will receive an update on the process for selecting a
liaison and the associated timeline for doing so.
