*Item 4: MOTION – A proposed modification of the GNSO's consensus
recommendations relating to IGO acronyms and Red Cross identifiers (20
mins)*
On 10 November 2013 the PDP Working Group (IGO-INGO PDP WG) delivered itsFinal
Report <http://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/igo-ingo-final-10nov13-en.pdf> to
the GNSO Council that included twenty-five consensus recommendations of the
WG. On 20 November 2013 the GNSO Council unanimously adopted
<http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions#20131120-2> all twenty-five
consensus recommendations of the IGO-INGO PDP WG and forwarded them to the
ICANN Board in January 2014 with a recommendation for their adoption.
On 30 April 2014 the Board resolved
<https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2014-04-30-en> to
adopt those of the GNSO's recommendations that are not inconsistent with
GAC advice, and to facilitate dialogue between the affected parties in
order to reconcile the remaining differences, as further detailed in Annex A
<https://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/resolutions-annex-a-30apr14-en.pdf>
and Annex B
<https://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/resolutions-annex-b-30apr14-en.pdf>
of
the Board's resolution. The GNSO's recommendations and GAC advice are
largely consistent except in relation to the duration and mechanism of
protection for IGO acronyms and the full names and acronyms of 189 Red
Cross national societies and the international Red Cross and Red Crescent
movement, for which the GNSO had recommended
<http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions#20131120-2>a 90-day period of
protection by way of a claim notification service utilising the Trademark
Clearinghouse (TMCH).
On 16 June 2014 the NGPC sent
<http://gnso.icann.org/en/correspondence/chalaby-to-robinson-16jun14-en.pdf> a
letter to the GNSO Council requesting that the GNSO consider modifying its
recommendations relating to the duration and mechanism of protection for
IGO acronyms and national society names of the Red Cross. This modification
to be in accordance with and as envisaged by Section 16 of the GNSO's PDP
Manual <http://gnso.icann.org/council/annex-2-pdp-manual-13jun13-en.pdf>.
On 24 July 2014, the Chair of the NGPC followed up with a note to the Chair
of the GNSO Council and offered to provide a written or oral briefing
to provide
greater clarity on the GAC’s advice and expectations with respect to
protections of IGO-INGO Identifiers. Such briefing will now be provided as
part of this meeting.

*Item 9: UPDATE – On the work of the GNSO Review Working Party (10 mins)*
As part of a periodic review process that is built into the ICANN model,
work on the ICANN Board initiated reviews of the GNSO (and the GNSO Council
and related functions) has commenced. The objective of the Review is to
examine the organizational effectiveness of the GNSO, including its
components (GNSO Council, GNSO Working Groups, GNSO Stakeholder Groups and
Constituencies). The review is to be tightly scoped based on objective and
quantifiable criteria provided to an independent examiner.
The GNSO Review Working Party has been assembled to:
- Act as a liaison between the GNSO, the independent examiner and the
SIC,
- Provide input on review criteria and the 360 Assessment,
- Coordinate interviews and objectively supply clarification and
responses to the draft findings and recommendations.
The SIC envisages that once a final report is issued and the Board takes
action on it, as appropriate, the GNSO Review Working Party will also
coordinate with the GNSO community to prepare an Implementation Plan and
champion implementation of improvement activities.
