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>.

The resolution states, “The GNSO Council does not initiate a Policy Development Process at this stage but will review at the completion of the ICANN Contractual Compliance three-year plan expected for 31 December 2013 whether additional action is required.”
ICANN’s Contractual Compliance team provided a presentation to the Council in London and here will present and be in a position to discuss the past activities and results of the Contractual Compliance three-year plan and future efforts to evolve the contractual compliance function with regard to metrics collection and reporting.
The GNSO Council will deliberate whether further attention to this issue is warranted.
Note: The second resolution launched what is now known as the non-PDP, Data & Metrics for Policy Making WG<http://gnso.icann.org/en/group-activities/active/dmpm> that is currently executing against its approved charter.

Item 7: 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. A webinar<http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-2-23apr14-en.htm> to discuss this has recently taken place.
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.

The call for applications is out and the deadline for applicants is the 31 July 2014. The Consultation Group envisages that a preliminary decision on the actual appointment will take place as soon as possible. Moreover that such an appointment will be subject to a motion before the GNSO Council in September and the appointment will be made immediately thereafter and, in any event, before ICANN 51.

Here the Council has the opportunity to feed into plans and provide input based on past experience.  Included in this item will be the opportunity to shape the approach to and substance of the Council’s proposed meetings with other groups such as the ccNSO, the GAC and the ICANN board.
