***Reminder: action needed by 05 February 2024*
The Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council seeks
volunteers to serve on a Drafting Team that will develop a charter for
the Standing Predictability Implementation Review Team (SPIRT). The
SPIRT will be the body empowered to provide input to the GNSO Council,
the ICANN Board, ICANN org, and the ICANN community on unforeseen issues
arising for the Next Round of the New gTLD Program _after_ the approval
by the ICANN Board of the Applicant Guidebook (AGB).
What This Drafting Team Will Do
The Drafting Team is expected to develop a draft Charter for the SPIRT,
which is a group recommended in the new gTLD Subsequent Procedures Final
Report. The Drafting Team’s only task is to develop the draft Charter
for the SPIRT, with the Charter being subject to GNSO Council approval.
As background and for context, the SPIRT will utilize an output called
the Predictability Framework, which will be an output of the
implementation effort for New gTLD Subsequent Procedures as developed by
ICANN org, in coordination with the Implementation Review Team (IRT).
This Drafting Team will NOT be responsible for developing the
Predictability Framework, but will be responsible for the limited task
of determining how the SPIRT will utilize the Predictability Framework,
by preparing the draft Charter.
In developing the draft Charter, the Drafting Team will be expected to
consider elements such as the composition of the SPIRT, detailing how
issues are raised to the SPIRT procedurally, defining operating
principles and decision-making, and other important aspects to support
the proper functioning of the SPIRT. The New gTLD Subsequent Procedures
Final Report included an annex [gnso.icann.org]
<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/final-report-newgtld-subsequent-procedures-pdp-02feb21-en.pdf*page=321__;Iw!!PtGJab4!_60ARbHmTCx7Xa-lP-7-1wrOen4B8alKcnpVdGsy6pu5UQt3p-q5TOSmfbUpt-fz-dYVADvoDfPDEkSwADbu4-brdg$>that
provides detailed guidance on how the SPIRT should operate. The content
included in this annex should serve as the starting point for the
Drafting Team in developing the draft Charter, but the Drafting Team may
determine that improvements can be made to what is suggested in that annex.
The SPIRT Charter is a requirement for establishing the SPIRT. However,
the SPIRT and the Predictability Framework are by definition, not
intended to operate until the AGB is approved by the ICANN Board.
_Nevertheless, the Council anticipates that this Drafting Team should be
able to complete its work in a timely manner (i.e., no more than 3
months), given the extensive existing details included in the annex._
Who Should Join
The GNSO Council invites interested parties within the GNSO community
(i.e., GNSO's stakeholder groups and constituencies), as well as parties
from other Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees to join the
Drafting Team. The GNSO Council asks that volunteers take into account
