Just a small first remark, I, Rudi Vansnick, was also present at the NCSG PC meeting, not that this is the most important issue. And Rafik’s name is also missing.

Hi all,

Many thanks for the great turnout and discussion yesterday. As the GNSO Council agenda was pretty light, we had a useful and informative discussion on some broader topics, which I personally found very helpful - so thanks to everyone.

All the best, Maria

1                     Prep for High Interest Topic SO/AC meeting

a.       Role of Advisory Committees in ICANN policy-making

                                                               i.      Keep the GAC role in the discussion, even though the agenda has been changed to focus less on the GAC

                                                             ii.      Provide input to the bylaw change public comment period on changing Board voting threshold for rejecting GAC advice

                                                            iii.      Remind people that GAC advice has a much shallower process than GNSO policy

                                                           iv.      Find an opportunity to mention the accepted need for the Human Rights Advisory Committee

b.      New gTLDs, 2^nd round

                                                               i.      Evaluate the first round before the second one begins (need clarity on where that point is)

                                                             ii.      Developing country support and outreach to developing countries – we can say diplomatically ‘we told you so’ as we were not listened to on these topics and the consequences are clear

                                                            iii.      What are the criteria for success or failure of the round (and programme does not equal success or failure of individual TLDs)? NCSG believes narrowly economic criteria are far too narrow and we will push to develop evaluation criteria that go wider, including the non-commercial and often positive economic implications of commercial TLDs

                                                           iv.      Evaluation should not just focus on who got names or what TLDs there are, and also look at who did NOT apply and why not

                                                             v.      The programme was overly concerned to avoid gaming, which happened anyway, and not concerned with many non-commercial issues

                                                           vi.      The role of the Independent Experts needs to be looked at sharply in the review – they brought little useful or new to the evaluation of specific TLDs

                                                          vii.      We should start evaluating the issues right now, i.e. the problems that have arisen, rather than wait to the end of the process to start looking at them

                                                        viii.      We should propose a Programme Evaluation Framework, i.e. a logic model that looks at what the objectives of the programme were (or should have been) and measuring it up against them.

2                     GNSO Council agenda prep

a.       Voting on resolutions on IRTP(D) and to adopt the charter of the Cross Community Working Group are expected to be largely positive.

                                                               i.      Avri took part in the various IRTP working groups and endorsed the work.

                                                             ii.       Bill, Avri and David gave background of the CCWG charter process and what it might be expected to achieve, and encouraged Council members to vote in favour of it.

3              Maria said as she is finishing her term as a Council member, she will shortly be stepping down as Chair of the NCSG PC and so we will need to start a process to elect a new chair. More on that anon.
