Betreff: [NCSG-Discuss] 11 June (13:00 UTC) NCSG Policy Call - Dial-in Details & Discussion Agenda
 
Dear All,

Reminder: Please join in Tuesday's monthly open membership meeting.  This meeting is typically held 2 days before the next GNSO Council Meeting and is an effort to prepare noncommercial participation for the GNSO Council meeting by encouraging input from the membership and engagement from the NCSG GNSO Councilors with the members on the pending policy issues.  Also, we should discuss NCSG's response to the BGC recommendation on our reconsideration request, which essentially replaces bottom-up community-developed policy with top-down staff-driven policy decisions.  The board is expected to adopt the BGC recommendation on 25 June unless the community can persuade it to do otherwise.

I hope you all will join in this Tuesday's call.  Thanks!

Best,
Robin

Item 6: MOTION - Initiation of a Policy Development Process (PDP) on the Translation and Transliteration of Contact Information (10 minutes)

A Final Issue Report on the translation and transliteration of contact information was submitted to the GNSO Council on 21 March 2013 (seehttp://gnso.icann.org/en/library).

After consulting with the Expert Working Group (EWG), staff recommends that a PDP be initiated because the work of the PDP Team will help inform the work of the EWG.

Also, as recommended by the WHOIS Policy Review Team, the Final Issue Report recommends that ICANN should commission a study on the commercial feasibility of translation or transliteration systems for internationalized contact data, which is expected to help inform the PDP Working Group in its deliberations;

ICANN's General Counsel has confirmed that the topic is properly within the scope of the ICANN policy process and within the scope of the GNSO.

An overview of the Final Issue Report was provided in Beijing. Voting on this motion was deferred at the GNSO Council Meeting of 16 May 2013. The Council is now expected to consider whether or not to initiate a PDP.

Item 7: DISCUSSION - Reconsideration request from the Non-Commercial Stakeholder group relating to decision on the Trademark Clearinghouse (15 mins)

On the 19th April 2013, the Non-Commercial Stakeholders Group submitted a Reconsideration Request to the ICANN Board Governance Committee (BGC). On the 16 May 2013, the BGC Recommendation on the Reconsideration Request was published.  Concerns have been raised within the Council about:

The nature of the response to this particular request.  Specifically in terms of the arguments presented within the response and the perceived or actual implications of these arguments on the workings of the multi-stakeholder model.
More generally about the effectiveness of the reconsideration process.
The Council will consider the content of the recent Recommendation on the Reconsideration Request and the discussion will focus not on the outcome of the Reconsideration Request but rather on the arguments presented and any potential implications for the GNSO and the multi-stakeholder model.

Item 8: DISCUSSION - Forthcoming reviews of the GNSO and GNSO Council (15 mins)

As part of a periodic review process that is built into the ICANN model, both the GNSO Council and the GNSO will come up for ICANN Board initiated review.  In order to be effectively prepared for these reviews, it was proposed in Beijing that a group be formed to understand the issues and begin to take appropriate next steps.  One key suggestion from Beijing was that any group (such as the Council) being reviewed undertakes a form of self-review.

Here the Council will confirm the intended course of action and provide input into a draft call for volunteers for a non-PDP WG.

Item 9: UPDATE & DISCUSSION - Report on User Experience Implications of Active Variant TLDs & IDN Letter to the Board (10 mins)

During its meeting in Beijing, the ICANN Board requested that, by 1 July 2013, interested Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees provide staff with any input and guidance they may have to be factored into implementation of the Recommendations from the Report on User Experience Implications of Active Variant TLDs' (see http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/prelim-report-11apr13-en.htm#2.a). The Report on User Experience Implications of Active Variant TLDs examines potential challenges from a user experience perspective when variants of IDN TLDs are activated and offers recommendations to users to minimize risks and optimize the implementation. 

Ideally, input is requested on:

a)    Which recommendations if any, are pre-requisites to the delegation of any IDN variant TLDs (i.e., delegation of IDN Variant TLDs should not proceed until these recommendations are implemented),

b)    Which recommendations, if any, can be deferred until a later time, and

c)     c) Which recommendations, if any, require additional policy work by the ICANN community and should be referred to the relevant stakeholder group for further policy work

Furthermore, it was suggested that the GNSO Council should send a letter to the Board highlighting the importance of IDN related issues. A first draft of such letter was sent to the GNSO Council mailing list on 11/4 (see http://gnso.icann.org/mailing-lists/archives/council/msg14489.html).

At the 16 may 2013 Council Meeting, the Council received a presentation on the Report on User Experience Implications of Active Variant TLDs

9.1 Discussion

9.2 Next steps - Any additional action to be taken?

9.3 Update on letter to the Board (Ching Chiao)

Item 10: UPDATE & DISCUSSION - Planning for Durban (20 minutes)

Making the most out of the face-to-face meeting time available at the ICANN Meeting in Durban will take planning.  GNSO Council VC Wolf-Ulrich Knoben is working with staff to lead this effort.

The Council has had the opportunity to feed into plans and provide input based on past experience, including most recently in Beijing.  Included in this item will be the opportunity to shape the topics and substance of the Council's proposed meetings with other groups in Durban such as the CCNSO, the GAC and the ICANN board.

10.1 - Update (Wolf-Ulrich Knoben)
10.2 - Discussion
10.3 - Next steps
